Did you start your business with selling it as your exit strategy?

If your business is profitable and growing, would you consider selling if you got a good offer?

Or, would you consider the fact that others see value in your business as validation that you should NOT sell it?

We’ve had a few offers, substantial enough, but my husband wants to continue to build the company for 10 more years. At that time, we’ll keep 250K worth of assets to transfer to Costa Rica in exchange for citizenship status. We’ll sell off everything else, including our valuable customer list.

How do you start your own club/bar?

by good planning about the way i am going to act
like revenue and costs and is me going to have gains or losses and the different classes comeing to the club how u going to serve them better
and new ideas that u can provice to improve ur services

Probably good. Except a lot of people visit florida, not live there. and when they visit they usually leave their pets at home!!! but idk i just felt like answering this i have never been to florida and i dont know how many people use a pet sitter

i have started my own business i opened a place where i put PlayStations and users come and play for some money..something like a net cafe but for PlayStation… i need some ideas so that i can upgrade my business so that i gain money and minimize the loss… i thought about starting a tournament between players… yet i still need some bright ideas….
forgive me for my English and thanks in advance.

Sounds like an interesting business and a tournament is a good idea. Try to utilize social networks, like facebook, to promote your tournament and bring in more customers. Facebook is most widely used by teenagers, which is also probably your target market.

Setup a facebook group for you business, invite everyone you know, especially your current clients. Offer your current clients updates on promotional discounts as incentive to sign up to the facebook group. Send regular updates on promotions and events to your clients. Your clients will invite their friends (who they think would be interested in your service) to your group, who will then invite their friends and it’ll spread like wild fire.

In addition to a facebook group, setup an e-mail marketing campaign to send your regular clients updates on promotions that your business is offering (for example, Tuesday 20% off admission fee). Keeping your regular clients updated on new promotions will save the expense of trying to get new clients. You’ll get more from clients who already like what you’re offering and would most likely want more.

Hope this helps!

What type of business?

Where is it located?

Do they want to spend $$$ or do it on the cheap?

I am starting an online service to match those in need of residential services with the contractors who actually do the work. The service is free for the homeowners in need of service, and the leads that go to the contractors are charged at 5-10 dollars per lead. The website consist of a form where the user enters personal information about their home and their project requirements. I do have an SSL certificate in place on my server to protect peoples’ personal information.

What legal documentation is necessary for a business like the one described above?

You will need to file with your state to collect sales tax on in-state sales and get a "doing business as" certificate. If you want to incorporate you will have to take care of that, but it is not necessary or important right now.

I know it seems like a duhhh question. But I have all these Ideas for a business. And I keep hearing write a business plan. But I have no clue what that means or how to start. Please help

Its a layout of your business….everything from how its run to all the costs. Just google business plan and there will be sites that give examples of them for free. Just look around.

This has been used within a Product Development job description.
The context is describing the steps required to research prior to launching a product.
It states " How this product fits in with the SCL business strategy"

Hoping someone can help before I have the interview!!

I think it stands for Supply Chain and Logistics

We run a kids’ party business called Perfectly Planned, and we need a good tagline. Any suggestions?

Perfectly Planned
~Enjoy their (the, this, that, you’re) day the right way.
~Great Parties for Great People
~Manufacturing Fun Since ……….

Lets say they made a law that said, you can make twice of what a normal employee makes, and if you make more, it must be turned over to the government.

Would you still start your new business?

What does a "normal" employee make? If it were what my "typical" employee makes, then YES. I would just pay all my employees $1 million each and charge them $865,000 back to compute their payroll and cut them a check. Therefore, I could collect my $2 million salary + take the money I’d be getting back from my employees and put it back into my business. Problem solved! There is always a loophole. That is, if you’re enterprising enough.
