Take one step at a time.\n\nFirst, you need a plan, like starting a business.  You already have a vision of the operations.  You also need to determine the location and the cost of building, renting or buying.  Identify all licenses and qualifications that you will need.  Estimate the number of employees, if any, that will be required and how much they will be paid.  Estimate other expenses and plot them out on a spreadsheet.\n\nThen you need to look into funding.  Inquire into local, state and federal agencies to see if there are any grants available for your type of operation.  Some governmental agencies who are charged with caring for orphans may even be willing to outsource.  Also, look into private funding through foundations.  If a large capital outlay will be required upfront, say to build the home, then you may need financing.\n\nOnce you feel your planning is complete, then you will need an attorney who is familiar with 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations.  You want to make sure that your non-profit corporation will be tax exempt.\n\nAfter your non-profit is incorporated, then you will be ready to raise funds, get financing, buy or rent property, get licensed and start caring for children and animals, while at the same time earning a living doing what you love to do.

I work at setting up small businesses, and I need to let you know that what your listed (inventory, wholesales, etc) are not the things you need to do first. \n\nFirst, you need to come up with a business name and open up a business entity. This will tell the government that you're opening a business, make you legal, guarantee that no one else can have your name, and give you an EIN/tax number. \n\nOnce you've done that, go open a bank account under the name of your business. Once of the biggest mistakes small business owners do is to use their personal money to start the business. Open the bank account, get a business credit card, and a business loan. (You will probably need a business plan to qualify for the loan.) \n\nOnce that is all done, find out the specifics of where you'll get your supplies from.

The only way to make money in the coffee business is to spend lots of money.\n\nI assume you have little to no cash but lots of time.\nStart small...think landscaping, tutoring, child care.\nThink of businesses that do not require a large capital invenstment and work up from there.\n\nIf you are set on owning a cafe then start by working in one.  Learn the business.  Learn everything you can.  Then start to gather your capital to open your own cafe.  Try to have enough in cash to operate your business for at least 10 months.  \n\nGood luck.

There are many businesses who started with so little yet grew to become good income vehicles down the road. From the article "How to Start a Business with Little Cash" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol30/nocash.htm here are some tips on how you can start a business and earn more money even if you are short of cash today:\n\n1. Find a business that you can start for little money (e.g. an errand business where your main cost is telephone and gasoline is easier to start than starting a Subway franchise)\n\n2. Consider your time and effort - if you have little cash, you may have to work harder for the money because you will have no resource to outsource or employ others to do certain tasks for you; or you have no money to buy equipment so you can only do certain things the long way\n\n3. Get your creative juices flowing. With no money, the only thing you have is your imagination. Be creative and find ways to get things done \n\n4. Be prepared to do all the work yourself - from doing your business plan, finding financing, writing emails, shipping and handling, marketing or whatever processes your business requires. \n\n5. Be prepared to invite investors - you may need financing help from someone down the road so be prepared to share some of the pie.

A new business idea rarely qualifies for a bank loan (unless you have collateral).  You may however, be able to get an SBA loan.  Your banker can help you with this.\n\nMost likely, you will have to use your own money to start a small business.  Take a 2nd loan out of the equity in your house, use your savings, use 'cash advances' on your credit cards, etc.  These of course are risky and expensive.\n\nIt may be best to 'start small' with your idea and 'test the waters' to see if you can make it work.  Maybe renting a kiosk in a mall would be feasible.\n\nBest wishes and good luck!

There are many businesses who started with so little yet grew to become good income vehicles down the road. But a restaurant is not one of them. A restaurant business cannot be started with little capital, unfortunately.\n\nFrom the article "How to Start a Business with Little Cash" www.powerhomebiz.com/vol30/nocash.htm  here are some tips on how you can start a business and earn more money even if you are short of cash today:\n\n1. Find a business that you can start for little money (e.g. instead of a restaurant, think of something you can start with your current budget)\n\n2. Consider your time and effort - if you have little cash, you may have to work harder for the money because you will have no resource to outsource or employ others to do certain tasks for you; or you have no money to buy equipment so you can only do certain things the long way\n\n3. Get your creative juices flowing. With no money, the only thing you have is your imagination. Be creative and find ways to get things done \n\n4. Be prepared to do all the work yourself - from doing your business plan, finding financing, writing emails, shipping and handling, marketing or whatever processes your business requires. \n\n5. Be prepared to invite investors - you may need financing help from someone down the road so be prepared to share some of the pie. \n\nI suggest you start learning about the restaurant business. Here are some recommended books:\n\nStarting a Small Restaurant, Revised by Daniel Miller \nComplete Idiot's Guide to Starting a Restaurant, 2E (The Complete Idiot's Guide) by Howard Cannon\nEverything Guide to Starting And Running a Restaurant: Secrets to a Successful Business! (Everything: Business and Personal Finance) by Ronald Lee Restaurateur and Ronald Lee\nOpening a Restaurant or Other Food Business Starter Kit: How to Prepare a Restaurant Business Plan and Feasibility Study by Sharon Fullen\n\nYou may also want to start reading about some business plans on the restaurant business.

START YOUR OWN BUSINESS!!!

That depends on where that business is established. (For example you can make a Business consultation firm in a big city but it will be stupid to do that in a small town with very little or no companies at all).\n\nMoreover, are you referring only to products or services are welcome as well. You can import products or offer services that you are familiar with or passionated about (for example if your hobby is bowling you can open a bowling center in your area, or if you are a haircutter you can start importing a professional hairstyling brand).\n\nThere is no magic solution for anyone to start his/her own business… Each answer just like every business is different according to the needs and wants of one.\n\nYou need to find out what is missing in your region or area and provide it. Try to sell something unique or differentiated if you want to succeed.

Start with something you or someone you know already own. \n\nI started a business making leather goods with only $300 investment. I already had most of the tools and supplies but I needed a wider range of leather. My first time selling netted $700 profit and I still had 3/4 of my supplies left. I turned it into a $80G a year business in two years.\n\nOne important factor in creating a business is passion. You have to love what you do.\n\nFrom a cleaning service (everyone has enough supplies to do at least the first house or two..then you reinvest your money to grow), to house painting (more supplies but can be bought at dollar stores for the first house), and the list goes on.\n\nI have built and sold 7 businesses in my life and am on business 8. Don't feel that once you start, thats where your stuck forever. Feel free to learn and grow with life. Get the book "Who moved my cheese" to help you learn how to move through tech changes.\n\nTake a piece of paper and draw a page sized T on it. The right side is cons the left is pros. Write your abilities down on the pro side then pencil in the cons to having a business doing that ability. You will find one or two strengths to work on.\n\nOnce you find what you want to do, find someone who is doing it and ask some questions. You will need to know how long it took to become established. Does the business support them and or their family. Do they like what they do. If not, why.\n\n2 out of three privately owned businesses fail the first year. They tend to work best when you have another job the first year or even two so you can reinvest your money to build the business. Its hard work but worth it if it makes you happy.
