Well first you should probably check your local, state and the federal laws so you know what you can and can't do.\n\nSecond come up with some capital.\n\nThird use capital to pay talent and studio staff. \n\nFourth attempt to make a name for yourself amongst the 8 billion other porn companies.\n\nFifth reflect on how now that your hundreds of thosands of dollars in debt and facing lawsuites that starting your own porn business was a lot less fun then you thought it would be.\n\nOh and I forgot that you'll probably want to come up with some sort of business plan other then "I wanna be like Randy West."

my ex was a trucker for 8 years and he still is... You want a company who treats you like a person and not a truck number.. Trust me on this one....get one that pays by the mile not the load... Also, martin transportaion has a place in canada and the united states. They are a decent company.....Don't ask for paid this or that as they set there pay according to experience and all trucking companies are different. Some pay for empty miles and some dont. You want one that does. Some also pay extra for shorter runs....Those are some quesitons you can ask them when you call them....a good start pay is 33-38 cents per mile....Just the biggest piece of advice i can offer is make sure your treated like a person or else you wont like it and wont stay with them,. Some large companies get so big they only know you for your tractor number.... Good luck to you

There are 2 components to the business you want to start. 1) mobile and 2) dry cleaning.\n\nYou may be able to get started with your day to day car. As business develops though, a van will be necessary.\n\nFor the dry cleaning, you probably don't want to invest in starting one from scratch, so use one that is up and running. My suggestion is finding a local dry cleaner to partner with. Tell them you are starting this business and you need to service a number of clients in the area and what kind of discounts they can offer.\n\nOnce you've determined a price, you can market that price plus a profit to your perspective clients. Take into account, driving time, gas cost, and the dry cleaner's turn around.\n\nYou are basically going to begin this business as the dry cleaner's driver, but once volume picks up and you are sending them lots of business, you will need to renegotiate the cost to make it more profitable for you. \n\nThe hardest part is getting started.\n\nGood luck!

There are so many things you have to consider: location, rent, employees, taxes, permits, filing of business papers, utilities, store fixtures, accountant and/or employee payroll system, suppliers, bank account, loans, insurance, possibly an attorney, knowledge of state labor laws, payment of state unemployment/disability for employees, computer system for ordering, a plan for shipments, etc.  I think you should talk to a business owner in person to ask questions, if possible.  If not, go to www.sba.gov - they have a Small Business Startup Guide.  This should be a good starting point.

You need to go to the state revenue office and get your state license. That means you need to have a name for your business. It can even be your own name (i.e. -  John's Contracting). The revenue department usually has tons of literature on business set-up, etc. Then head to the Small Business Administration and see what they can do for you. None of this is very costly.

You can search titles of "how to start an errand business" books at AMAZON or on Yahoo then go check them out for free at the library.  You can visit small business magazine websites and read articles on other people that have done it already and are successful and get some ideas that way.  You can visit Business Owners Cafe, go to the "ask questions" link on the left and ask for help. They are great there,  I use them all the time.\n\nGood Luck

1. Starting Your Own Business. \n\nStarting an independent business of your own offers several advantages. You are free from contractual obligations required from franchisees, and from any precedents established by the previous business owner. You are able to start on a fresh, clean slate with total control on how the business is shaped and managed. You are free to offer a pioneering and proprietary product that could help you dominate your market. You can start with a bang, or at a slower pace, depending on your resources and entrepreneurial goals. There is no required upfront investment that you must raise; except for the level that you think your business requires to be successfully launched. You can choose the location you want, determine the products and service that you market, and decide whether you need employees or not.\n\nThe downside of starting a business from scratch could also be numerous. A new business entails greater risk than buying an established business or franchise. You need to determine whether a need exists for your products or service; and if it does, work to create awareness and branding. The start-up process also necessitates you to do the groundwork process by yourself - from business licenses and permits, establishing relations with suppliers, and establishing a customer base to support operations. Many new start-up businesses, particularly home businesses, find it hard to secure financing given the lack of operating histories and inexperience of the people involved.\n\nA new business will require a longer period of time to show profits, if at all. Entrepreneurs who decide on venturing on their own must be willing to dedicate considerable time and energy to establishing and nurturing the business.\n\n2. Franchising. \n\nFranchising incorporates the features of both a start-up and an existing operation. The franchise is the right to sell a product or service. When you purchase a franchise you are basically paying for the right to market an already established product or service owned by somebody else (the franchisor). Under your franchise agreement, you (the franchisee) are expected to market the product/service successfully.\n\nThis alternative route to business ownership has some distinct advantages. Risk is minimized, since a well-established franchise has a proven business method with established products or services. Franchises like McDonald's already has well-known name that could easily bring customers to the business and provide a competitive advantage for the franchisee.\n\nMany franchise organizations also provide extensive assistance in terms of marketing, advertising, even managerial support. Oftentimes, management training and follow-up assistance are provided. In many instances, In addition, you can realize cost savings on inventory items, supplies and equipment due to bulk purchase orders made by the franchisor, which in turn is passed on to franchisees. Some franchisors also assist the franchisee in securing financing, while some provide the funding themselves. Franchisees find it easier to convince banks and other lenders to provide loans because franchises are less risky than start-up businesses. Support can also be given in finding the right location, while some provide the layout, display, facilities and business techniques that have already proven successful in previous operations.\n\nFranchising could present problems to the business owner. At the onset, the high franchise fees required to be paid to the franchisor at the start of the franchise agreement may discourage any prospective business owners. Front fees can range from a few thousand dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars, depending on the franchise. While some franchisors may require high initial fees, the trade-off may be poor support functions once the operations begin.\n\nIn addition to the upfront fees, royalty fees are also required on a monthly basis. The royalty fees are monthly payments based on a cert

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.

You have three avenues to cover.Check with your local city to see what requirements are necessary. (There's probably city,county,and state requirements.)The gas/diesel company you'll use will have certain expectations and requirements. Then (unless you're paying cash) your bank will obviously want to see assets, money down, and a business plan forecast put together probably as far as 5 years. The easiest way would be to re-start an existing station that has been closed for awhile. Good luck.
