Since I have not had much luck with getting a good job , even with a degree, I am thinking about starting my own business. I do not have much money, do you know of any organizations that can match what I have to start a business. I have about $6000-7000. Is this a bad time to start a business with this economy?

I have taken some business courses but I don’t really know where to go to get the merchandise, the type of business I wanted to start was a business selling digital cameras and equipment. Would I just have to contact the manufacture directly? Can anyone help me and give me suggestion on starting a retail business? Thank you .

I’ve done alot of research on starting a business. I am a college sophmore-havent picked a major yet but i’ll probably go with business and photography. My interests are business, photography, web design, photoshop, traveling and languages (spanish and italian) When people say base your business ideas on you passions–mine are a little too complicated for starting a small business. Any Ideas? Thanks!

I plan to work as a business person who finds different vendors for this business. Is this profitable? Is this a good plan?Do I meet first with the business with my idea, or do I start with the vendors first , or do I start my own webpage and have the vendors as part of that first?

I am a single mom to a seven month old. I have been staying home with him but now find that I need to start generating my own money.

I have a degree in Graphic Design just acquired in February last year and am a mural artist as well. I have been toying with the idea of starting a design business and/or mural painting business. I don’t have any money to really do any kind of major startup, besides registering the business, but these seem like ideas that wouldn’t take any major investment.

I have a website for my portfolio which needs some polish, but it’s a start. I still am not sure if I should do the graphic design, mural painting, both, maybe just create a website to maintain that I can somehow get traffic to. I don’t know what would be most lucrative and most efficient in time managment. Any suggestions on how to decide, or getting started are appreciated.

My husband has a machine shop and only uses about 1/2 his building. I would like to start a business in the other half.

I wanted to partition off a room for an office and do bookkeeping and then I was thinking about maybe a document shredding business or a document storage business would be good – any other ideas?

Thanks!
The zoning would not be a problem. This building is located in the center of town off a main street through town.

I currently work for an accounting firm and you would not believe the paper we go through – we use a shredding service and have a storage building. Doctors offices and lawyers also have a lot of documents that cannot be thrown in the garbage because of the information they contain.

Thanks for the input – any more?

I have two businesses that are working well.

I would like to start a third business that is in competition with some clients from both of those businesses. I would like to be able to create this corporation with very arm’s length links (I don’t want anyone to be able to “lookup” the owners). I need to be able to open a bank account, receive cheques, etc…

I want it to be completly legal, my worry is that if a client finds out, both businesses are shot. So lots riding on it. Any suggestions?
