hi,\n\nTo start a web site:\n1. Name your site and see if the name is not already taken. If it is available you will have to register the name in your name. This is the domain name and you can check and buy domain names from yahoo by following the link: http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/domains/\n\n\n2. Once you have registered your name, the next step is to find a web server where your site will reside (hosted). There are various web servers available on the internet with a variety of prices and features. webhosttalk.com had some good discussion about hosting companies and the comparison of prices and features.\n\n3. Build the site. You can use MS Front page or take advantage of Yahoo web site develoment kits. These put you up and running in shortest possible time. Refer to the details at the link: http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/webhosting/sitebuilding.php

contact your internet service provider and pay them the required fee for launching a new website through them. it may cost you about 2 pounds every month or so. but before you do all this make sure that you have a website-completed, and that is ready to be launched. for this just don't take into considerations of your own opinion but also of the ones around you. example your parents or guardians, friends, neighbours, etc. also you should be ready so that you can continously be able to provide the monthly rental or else there will be no use of opening a web site.

I suggest you first learn more about the coffee shop business and understand its ins and outs. Business license is just an easy step to do, but you have to have all the ingredients to make a coffee shop successful. Here is my previous answer on the topic with great resources on how to start a coffee shop business  http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AqV71M7aKJvwxAv.5icv9AsjzKIX?qid=20060906072246AA9oNSl\n\nThe California Business Permitting Database will have all the information you need on the business licenses, requirements and permits a coffee shop business will need http://www.calgold.ca.gov/  - just indicate your business and your county/city and it will show you what and how to get the requirements\n\nFor example, if you live in Pasadena, California, below are some of the requirements in opening a coffee shop http://www.calgold.ca.gov :\n\n- Building and Construction Permit: Required for all new and remodeling construction, including change of occupancy\n- Burglar Alarm Permit: A permit must be obtained from this department for any businesses requiring a burglar alarm or security system. \n- Business License (Business Tax Certificate): Required for all entities doing business within city limits.\n- Fire Department Inspection/Permit: All businesses may be subject to a yearly inspection of facility; and a Business Plan/Contingency Plan if hazardous materials/wastes are on site.\n- Public Health License: Contact the department for a license if your business is in any way concerned with food/restaurant, wholesale or retail market, vending machines, catering trucks, etc.\n- Business Personal Property: Property used in the operation of a business such as machinery, equipment, trade fixtures, etc. is taxable and subject to assessment. \n- Fictitious Name Filing (DBA): Required if fictitious name is used.\n- Public Health Operating License: Required of restaurants and businesses manufacturing food, ice or soft drinks\n- Authority to Construct/Permit to Operate: Stationary sources of air emissions from specific types of equipment, industrial processes, paints and solvents and some consumer products, must be permitted.\n- Alcoholic Beverage License: Any person or entity seeking to sell alcoholic beverages must be licensed. \n- Corporation, Company or Partnership Filings: If you are considering becoming a corporation, (either stock or nonprofit), a limited liability company or a partnership (limited, or limited liability), you must file with the Secretary of State's Office.\n- Sales & Use Permit (Seller's Permit): All businesses selling or leasing tangible property must obtain a Seller's Permit. \n\nI suggest you check out these resources on How to Start a Business in California\n\nCalifornia Business Portal http://www.ss.ca.gov/business/resources.htm \nCalifornia Business Search http://kepler.ss.ca.gov/list.html  \nCalifornia Dept of Consumer Affairs Licensing Information http://www.dca.ca.gov/aboutdca/licnhelp.htm  \n\nHere are the places where you will find information on tax requirements:\n\nSellers Permit – CA Board of Equalization http://www.boe.ca.gov/info/reg.htm \nCalifornia Tax Service Center http://www.taxes.ca.gov/ \nFranchise Tax Board http://www.ftb.ca.gov/  \n\nIf you want business advice and free mentorship/assistance I suggest you check out the following resources:\n\nSBA California http://www.sba.gov/ca/  \nCalifornia Chambers of Commerce http://www.ss.ca.gov/business/ibrp/chamber_alpha.htm \nSCORE Bakersfield - Golden Empire http://www.scorebakersfield.org \nSCORE Glendale - Los Angeles http://www.scorela.org/ \nSCORE Merced - Yosemite http://www.score556.org \nSCORE Monterey - Monterey Bay http://www.bayscore.org/ \nSCORE Oakland - East Bay http://www.eastbayscore.org/ \nSCORE Oxnard - Ventura http://www.scoreventura.org \nSCORE Palmdale - Antelope Valley http://www.score.av.org \nSCORE Rancho Cordova - Sacramento http://www.sacscore.org \nSCORE San Diego - San Diego http://www.score-sandi

1. Decide which features you need (PHP, MySQL, ASP, FrontPage, template-based);\n2. Find a web hosting provider offering the services you need (names you've heard of might cost more, but are safer).\n3. Open an account and upload your material.\n\nShort cut -- start with a blogging service, such as blogger.com. You can learn a lot about HTML, links, etc., and it's template-based, customizable and free.

Hi there, running any kind of business is always risky. I suggest you take management and marketing workshops instead of selling the cafe. New ideas for your cafe, may be the solution you need to start making money. \nGood Luck, ;)

You don't. A cafe is a business that requires capital. Unless you can find investors to provide funds for you or a bank that can give you a loan, this is not a business that you can start for only $5,000. If your resources are not enough, cashflow will be extremely tight and there is a very high chance that the business will fail. The #1 reason why businesses fail is due to lack of capital, and without money and no experience in the business, you stand a formidable challenge.\n\nFrom 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. starting a personal chef business where you cook meals for families and cater is cheaper than opening a cafe)\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\nAs for writing your business plan, here are some resources that can help you write your business plan:\n\n- SBA Business Plan Basics http://www.sba.gov/starting_business/planning/basic.html\n- PowerHomeBiz.com Creating a Business Plan section http://www.powerhomebiz.com/startup/businessplan.htm\n- Entrepreneur.com Writing a Business Plan section http://www.entrepreneur.com/bizplan/0,7253,,00.html\n\nYou may also want to review some sample business plans to see how it actually looks like:\n\n- Bplans.com http://www.bplans.com/sp/businessplans.cfm\n- MOOT Corp Business Plan competition winners\nhttp://www.businessplans.org/businessplans.html\n- VFinance - View hundreds of real business plans in pdf format. http://www.vfinance.com/home.asp?bps=1&ToolPage=bps_main.asp\n- Business Owners Toolkit Sample business plans and information on how to create a plan. http://www.toolkit.cch.com/tools/buspln_m.asp\n- PlanWare Planning software and information. http://www.planware.org/\n- Virtual Business Plan Walk through the design of a business plan. http://www.bizplanit.com/vplan.html \n-SBA Business Planning Guide http://www.sba.gov/starting_business/planning/basic.html\n- Small Business Advancement Center http://www.sbaer.uca.edu/business_plan/businessPlan.pdf\n- Sample Business Plan General planning guide created by the Canadian Business Service Center. http://www.cbsc.org/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=CBSC_FE/display&c=GuideFactSheet&cid\n- Business Plans Index - A subject guide to sample business plans and profiles for specific business types from Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh. http://216.183.184.20/subject/business/bplansindex.html\n\nSome recommended books are :\n\n- Start and Run a Coffee Bar (Start & Run a) by Tom Matzen and Marybeth Harrison\n- Real-World Wrap Cafe Business Start-up by Dan Titus and Juice Gallery Multimedia\n- FabJob Guide to Become a Coffee House Owner by Tom Hennessey\n- How to Open a Financially Successful Coffee, Espresso & Tea Shop by Elizabeth Godsmark\n- ESPRESSO!
