How do you start your own business like the legal stuff. All I really need is a resellers license, business license, this is so I can sell on line. Any other help is appreciated thanks!

You go to your local county/city clerk’s office and inquire the process of starting a business — e.g. business registration and Doing Business As (DBA), resellers license, and other requirements. Check with them what you need and where you can get them

Online, most states provide information on how to start a business in their state. However, you did not mention your state. Alabama has a Starting a Business portal http://www.alabama.gov/portal/business/startbusiness.jsp while Illinois has a Business Step by Step Guide http://business.illinois.gov/step_by_step_guides.cfm

So start with your Secretary of State website. Or your State website (e.g. Alabama.gov). Then find the information on how to start a business — some states even have business wizards that provides step by step guidance on what you need.

Ok so I have a lil cash and i would love to make my money usefull. i want to own my own business and i know more then most on how to keep it going, but starting out im not too sure. I have bad credit also. my wife can help with that part though. what should i ask for at a bank. how do i get started?
the type of business we are tossing around is a record store/headshop but we are tossing around alot of ideas at the moment

what kind or type of business. ?

in which the ‘client’ pays production costs and actress fees, and can have a video if they choose?

Would there be any legal issues with this idea? I’m trying to start my own business.

Dr. Deth has it right. Why don’t you just open up your own Adult Production Company instead.

How do you go about starting your own business about computer programing, fixing, building computers and things of that nature for people. A friend and I want to start something up but i have no idea of what steps to take. Is there a good market and chance it can work out? Please give me as much info as you can please!

The biggest asset you can have is your reputation. So long as people know that you are a good worker, and first and foremost honest, people will come to you when they need to find people to fix their computer or do some programming. Of course, you need to advertise yourself a little bit, and tell all of your friends to help you spread the word that you’re now hanging out your shingle.

The next steps would be ensuring you have enough parts and inventory to build whatever it is you intend to build/repair, etc and make sure you source those well. Don’t just look overseas because it’s cheap – know who your source is, and what their track record is…you don’t want to build something to find out their products are exploding, and you don’t even know it’s their product you have in your PC (think about that one for a minute…)

Good luck, and when you’re ready to move ahead feel free to contact me with any other questions. I’ve done a similar start-up, not related to PCs, but in the payments industry and have some knowledge of what it takes to be successful.

I have been playing it for a while, but I never tried to start a business and I was wondering if you can, how.

You can’t start your own business, but you can buy one. If you go to the town view and click one of the businesses, like the day spa, you can become a partner and collect money every week with the partner’s deed.
Then, if you have enough money, you can go to the day spa and buy out the property. You then own the business and you’re able to change the name and fire employees, and you get to collect more money every week.

I was looking into starting my own business, opening up a sports bar! How and where do I begin?

You have to learn a business before you can run it. Start by getting a job working in someone else’s sports bar. Work your way up and get involved in as many aspects of the business as you can. Consider taking some business classes if you haven’t already. When you have enough knowledge and experience, then it’s time to get backers and try on your own.

I was wondering how much on average it cost to start up your own business, including costs to ship in initial products, marketing, etc. ..

How much would it cost to start up a business in a classy way in…
a major city?
a smallmetropolitanetropolitian area?
a large town?

How much would it cost to build your own building and cover all the start up costs, on average?

Thank you. greatly appreciated.

depends on what your business is going to be based on. you will want to talk to an attorney to create an LLC and may need to use an accountant

I am thinking about starting my own business as a financial planner. Do I need to obtain certifications to enter the business in the us? Is there a lot of competition? Basically, anything you can tell me about this business will be helpful…

One of the wonderful things (and horrible things) about the US is that anyone can call themselves a financial planner. All it takes to go into business is some business cards and some stationary.

If you do go into financial planning you will find yourself competing with every life insurance salesperson operating in your community plus some dedicated financial planners who don’t sell life insurance.

Since adequate insurance is a key element of financial planning I think you should investigate obtaining both insurance and financial planning certifications.

Hope this helps

I would like to open a shelter someday. (Next 4 years maybe) for young women with children. I think I would beable to relate to alot of the females there and have a wnonderful thing. I have all these great ideas and ways to make it work, rules, classes, speakers and so forth….BUT it seems there are alot in Rochester, Ny already. Should I sya forget it or would this be a really good idea. I think since the MAJORITY of young girls who come she;ters are Black, that they would be a little more likely to open up to me and take my advice on education, dating & relationships and parenting. Alot of young black girls feel white women just dont understand for some reason so i feel this would be a start to getting our teens to follow the right tract. I have a lot of ideas, just a matter of keeping optimistic about this. What do you think?

The best thing to do would be to start at an existing NFP that does the things you are interested in doing. Perhaps your contribution will make the existing location better rather than stretching already thin resources further. Moreover, you may find yourself in a position to actually take over the existing NFP as people move on frequently.

I have a few ideas that I think would be very successful businesses. But, I have no idea where to start. I have an idea for a clothing line and a few other businesses, but I don’t want to say too much. I don’t want my ideas stolen. But, how would I go about starting a business?

with a great idea and alot of heart
