You can become a distributor for different items like cell phone accessories.  You can also go to garage and yard sales.  Hit up Goodwill and Salvation Army.\n\nYou can also become an eBay Trading Assistant or put up fliers around town that people who want to sell items on eBay without the hassle of doing it themselves can drop items off to you.\n\nThe biggest rule is that you have to jump in with both feet.

You can start small and expand:\n\nbe a courier on foot in a compressed urban area\nbe a bike messenger / courier in an urban area\n\nOR you could get on the Small Business Administrations website and check out how to do a business plan.  Once you've done the research and have a plan outlined for what you want to put together, the SBA will often help you locate investors or loan institutions that can fund your business.  Your local SBA office will also help you put together the business plan.\n\nhttp://www.sba.gov/

You've got a couple of issues here -- let's tackle one at a time.\n\nRE: Retail Sales of the trading cards\n\nThe best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you're interested in.\n\nI recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box.\n\nAssociations may be a good avenue to explore as well. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links. \n\nResearch, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:\n\n* Start and Run a Profitable Retail Business by Jim Dion, Ted Topping\n* Retail Business Kit for Dummies by Rick Segel \n* Specialty Shop Retailing: How to Run Your Own Store Revised by Carol L. Schroeder\n* So You Want To Own The Store: Secrets to Running a Successful Retail Operation by Mort Brown\n\nThere are plenty of free informational resources out there. Check the source box for links to articles.\n\nRE: Copyright\n\nYou would apply for a copyright, not a patent, for any original designs.\n\nCopyrights can be obtained for things of an artistic nature. This includes, of course, poetry, films, sculptures, music, fiction, etc. But can also include things that may not necessarily seem "artistic" in the general sense of the word. Copyrights can also be obtained for advertising copy, games, software programs and blueprints, to name just a few. \n\nYou can do this at the US Copyright Office – see the last 2 links in the source box. The application is fairly simple & the cost is $30 per application (it will likely rise to $45 by July 1).\n\nHope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Well, first of all, if you want to start a "business," it better be a garage/yard sale.  It's not so easy.  You can't just go to the government and say, "I'm making a business, can you give me some land?"  NO!\nI hope I don't sound rude with this reply, but if you want to start a business, it will take a while and again, will not be easy.\nAs for the whole, "What should it be?"  You're the one to decide that.  If you want to make a sports shop, do that!  If you want to sell shoes, go for it!  Doing chores for average households, giving art lessons, whatever it is, go for it!

This courier business is not a simple venture. You need to have a network of couriers in other parts of the country where you have things safely arrived at their destinations. Unless you limit the couriers to within your hometown to start with. Just pass the message around that you are starting this service and as time goes by,with your reputation  establised, people will get you to be their courier man. I would suggest you start a somewhat similar service like paying utilities bills or any other bills as a service for people around your hometown, for a charge. But please be honest and maintain your integrity if you decide to stay long in this business. Good luck to you in whichever busness venture you may decide to go into.

Do what you know or sell what you know. If you have any skill in doing something is the best business you can do. Skill business do not requiet big capitor or good place. Just some tools and a place at home will do. Most important is your skill. If you want to sell things, make sure you have the product knowledge. You can start from being a broker. You do not need big capitor, just find who want to sell and who want to buy . The most important things is do what you know the best.

building trades is in short supply of skilled people.  you can be an apprentice at being an electrition, plumber, or carpenter.  Or, my favorite (my trade) a Tile Setter.  The nice thing about having a trade is the no matter how bad the job market gets, you can always fall back to it.

You can start a business now. But keep it as a corporation with a friend. When your paper work comes through, transfer ownership as a gift
