Comments (3)Your local chamber of commerce more than likely has a group of retired business people that aid someone starting a new business. You need to get out, in your area, and research the market to determine of there is enough need for what you propose then develop a business plan. What, and how much, competition would you have? How much money might you need to borrow? Would your cost of doing business be low enough to make it worthwhile starting?...See MoreEver start a business?
Comments (13)"In most states, food sold commercially must be prepared in an inspected industrial kitchen. Unless you're able to modify your own home kitchen, which typically is rather expensive." There are many things to consider when starting a business, any business. For instance, if it is a food business, do you need a permit, BOH approval, a separate kitchen? Secondly, are you assembling, cooking, a combination of both, or baking? In our area, if you're doing bakery/baking you don't necessarily need an industrial kitchen or a separate kitchen. You might be able to prepare the baked goods in your home oven, but you do need a permit and in most cases, BOH approval. If you are renting your residence, you will need your landlord's approval. Prime example are those that do "child care" out of a home they rent. Heaven forbid their landlord isn't aware of this and something happens and next thing you know, the landlord finds himself in the midst of a lawsuit. If it's a food business, there are many things that are involved when the preparation of food is done. Permits and insurance are just two of the things that come to mind. In addition, if you're planning on using someone else's property as your business "base", you'd better make sure you're not trying to fly under the radar. I'm a landlord and I can tell you that it will be a cold day in he!! before I would let a tenant have a business located on a residential property that I own. No discussion there. In a previous lifetime, a partner and I had a very profitable residential and small commercial cleaning business for 10+ years. We had to have liability insurance, a business partnership agreement on file with the County Clerk's office, we had to be bonded, we had to file business taxes quarterly...these are just a few things that we had to take into consideration. It's not as simple as saying, "Hey! I think I'll start my own business in XYZ", and then just doing it. There's a lot of research that needs to be done, especially in this day and age. We don't work on a "handshake and a promise" any longer, like we did many years ago. We're a very litigious society, so you'd better make sure your arse is duly covered before venturing into the business of owning your own business. Starting and having your own business can be very rewarding and profitable, but for those that think (just an example), "Okay, I have this great recipe and I'm goin' into business...yippee!", may I suggest that you consider removing those rose colored glasses....See Morestarting an interior landscape business advice
Comments (2)Lot of discussions on starting a landscape-related business on the Professional Gardening forum. You can review previous discussions or post your request there for specific input. This forum tends to focus more on homeowners asking design-specific questions. Or just general landscape help....See MoreStarting business and cant think of a name!
Comments (2)I don't have suggestions but wish to express my hope that you're only combining compatible succulents in your group arrangements. We've seen a fair amount of succ. arrangements where that is not the case & it's problematic. Good luck in your venture....See MoreJoseph Corlett, LLC
