Hot Business Tips

wooohoo12 asked:


I would like to start a business and am in need of some ideas for writing my business plan, then I will be looking for investors? I seen a business in Chesterfield, MO and it was called Petropolis. It was a “hotel” for small animals, cats and dogs mostly. I would like to open something similar to this. Also, what are some good ways of finding out if this would go over well in the area I am looking into? Can you send out a survey to the area asking specific questions? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

My husband and I are creating our business plan and we want to know what is the best software for us to use?

Other than the SBA and SCORE, what are some practical tools we can use to build our business plan? We have heard of Palo Alto’s “Business Plan Pro”, is there anything better out there?

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.

I need a business partner who is educated in the professional writing business. Preferably a female who is a visionary, creative and goal oriented. A male must likewise be honorably educated, loyal and intelligent in the professional writing field. I have successful goals and ideas.

Specific details will be discussed upon those who contacts me with sincerity.

I am trying to get a business up and running from home that makes me some quick cash.
I started a tutoring business and it has a few students , but it does not make alot of money. I thought cleaning apts for people would be cash and no responsibility except to do a good job in three hours and go on to the next house . I need to get some cash flow going as I lost my job 5 months ago and need to replenish my funds that I am using from my savings. I posted a few ads on the free websites on the Internet and now I will post a few in grocery stores. What would be a good place to get more ads seen by local people in Canada. I am located in Toronto Canada.
Is it a good business to do apt cleaning??? When mornings? Evenings??? For Adults or Seniors????

Hi,

I want to start a online business for advertising ads on it and some people said to me that the only legal procedure I need to take is to create a PayPal Business Account? If so, is it true? Where can I enroll that Business Account stuff and is it expensive?

Thanks for your help.
I live in Alberta, Canada, btw.
