I am going to start a business in my area for mowing lawns, weed and trash removal, and even putting in drip systems. I Would like to know what I should call this business and how I should pull in Customers. I’m 16.

use something with your name in it or you will have to deal with all kinds of stupid legal paperwork

John’s Landscaping Services or something simple like that

I have spent several thousands of dollars on a new business (Recording studio), and I’ve made those purchases in my personal checking account. Now, I am starting a new business account to keep things separate, but is there some way to "move" those identified business transactions to the new account?

Get your business accounts opened. Then transfer money into the business checking account.

Pick your start date (date you "opened" for business). Your previous expenses are "startup" costs and are mostly deductible over several years, not in your first year of business. So keep track of them, but they don’t really feed into your new business accounts.

Info from the IRS on startup costs:

What are the main tax things to consider when starting a business?

For a sole trader, partnership and proprietary company?

The principal differences between these entities are:

Sole trader: you claim all the profits, and you are responsible for any losses or things that might go wrong. If the business fails it will be up to you to bail it out or go bankrupt. Details of the business are reported via the supplementary section on your own tax return.

Partnership: A business or trading entity run between two or more parties. The profits or losses are shared. Each partner is liable for the failure or wrongdoing of other partners (unless proven otherwise). Reports tax on a partnership tax return with the distribution to each director to be claimed on individual tax returns.

Proprietary company: A legal entity in its own right, failure fo the company does not necessarily become failure of the director(s) although Director’s Penalties can be imposed and you can still be pursued in court if things go wrong. Lodges its own tax return, books subject to scrutiny, payment to directors are declared on individual tax returns.

Issues that should be considered before starting up a business.

Depends on which country you want to start.

Just want to know the ways we can acquire large sums of money for running a business. How do people go about doing such a business of lending other people money to start businesses?

You need assets or cash on hand to get a bank loan.
The rest is working hard to save up atleast 65% of the total proposed business cost.
Like most Americans fail to see their strengths, some use them to start small and begin from there hard work and dedication being the only key to success.

Charisma looks and overall character also affect negotiations.

Im starting a business with my dad here in just a bit. I am trying to get familiar with the way running your business works such as: advertising, all the paper work (legal papers, invoice, etc), starting a website, etc. If you have any ideas id be very glad to hear about them. Thanks ; )

the title is billion dollar lessons by Paul Carrol. You might want to get yourself a nice cigar from http://www.cigarfox.com Just sit back like Denny Crane and take the whole thing in. Lots of valuable lessons.

Im starting a business that will mostly provide powder coating to build a revenue, but I have been working on some prototypes for car parts that I want to be able to provide in the future as well. Some are for looks while some would be performance upgrades. I would like a somewhat short and catchy name that people are going to remember, but not cheap and cheesy. Initials would be good like Toyota’s TRD, but it would have to stand for something that would represent my business. And I don’t really want it to be something powder coating because I really want to offer much more then that in the future. I live in Knox Indiana, so if its something with knox/hoosier in it, it might work, i dunno im kinda blank, anyone have any good ideas?
lol, ya i wasnt planning on using toyota, i just used their trd program as an example of how initials could be used, I get your point, but i dont wanna mimic some company, thats what cheap off brands do, I want to provide the highest quality of everything i provide, not a 2nd best

I would like to start cleaning homes in the evening. I am looking for tips on getting started. I would like to make a quote sheet for customers but I am unsure how much to charge for certain services. I would love any advice regarding the quote sheet or anything thing else I need to consider when starting my business.

My friend and I did this for 14 years 11 together and the last 4 on my own.I don’t know how many people will want you in their home in the evenings, but here goes. Call the other cleaning companies in your area and get their prices and ask about what they charge extra for and what’s included in weekly cleaning. Then underbid them. DO NOT do anything extra for free or they will come to expect it and put more an more on you each time. DO NOT EVER give a price quote, without looking at the job first. We charged $10 extra on the first cleaning anyway to bring the house up to our standards. They are ALWAYS worse then they appear once you get into it! We ripped ourselves off a couple times not bidding enough on a job! It’s not fun, so be careful! Leave the price open for adjustments if necessary! An oven or doing a fridge will take one person about an hour so always charge extra for that. Don’t do windows, that’s a whole other can of worms! We put two flayers on one sheet of paper with a coupon on the bottom for $5 off their first cleaning. Then we told them they could get $10 off for each referral job we got. Business will spread fastest by word of mouth. Once you’re established, you can get rid of the people you don’t like working for and just keep the easiest jobs. Don’t forget to raise your prices after you’re well established as you’ll be more popular than the services if you’re honest and do a great job! There is good money to be made and a flexible schedule too. Oh and we gave the weekly people a better rate than the once in awhile’s too! Good Luck! PS the prices I spoke of are old, you may need to adjust for today’s times.
