Do you have to have managerial experience to start a small business? -

Hi Wilma, Managerial can mean a lot of things. The simple answer is yes, it certainly helps if you can plan budgets, plan projects, handle employees, balance a checkbook, collect unpaid invoices, and pay the bills if the invoices don;t get paid on time. :)Planning helps. In order to plan effectively, you must conduct some research. What do you need to provide your services? Who will you provide them to? Who are you competing against? What makes you better; gives you an edge ? How are you going to reach your prospects/potential clients? Answering these kinds of questions gives you a basis to begin a business plan.You can download my free research outline at www.abusinessmentor.comIt should certainly guide you in the right direction.Good Luck!

To a great extent, yes, managerial experience helps a lot. However, if you are smart, you can get started without such experience and learn on-the-job (business, in this case) too.

it depends..........will u need employees to service your customers???

AdSense: Is this a violation of its rules? -

I recently learned how to make money through your blog. Since my parents don t have an allowance system, and I barely have enough time for any chores to earn that money, I thought using this system would help me earn some money so I wouldn t have to ask my parents for money all the time when I go out with friends. I thought about earning, but not excessively. I don t need tips on how to get a LOT of money. Just enough to last me a while (even if that is only about $30/2 weeks. Anyway, I looked more into AdSense, and found out that it is only for people 18 years of age and up. Obviously, I was very disappointed, because I already had ideas for my blog running through my head. My question is: If a person under 18 years old owns their blog (blogspot), can a parent/guardian over 18 years of age sign up to AdSense for them, and accept the money for them? Or is that a violation to AdSense s rules?

Yes you can have your parents sign up and take the money for you then give you the money.

My husband and I would like to know how we can our own auto detail shop? -

We have been talking about this for awhile but don t know how yo begin. Also how to get a loan to help us even though we have bad credit and what we ll need!

If you have bad credit, no one is going to give you a loan for a new, unproven business so get that out of your head. Your best bet would be to go about it like this:#1. Decide if you re really, really serious about this. Starting any new business is a huge investment in time, money, and sanity.#2. You ll need to get incorporated, and you ll need to get whatever types of licenses and insurance that is required for this type of work, meaning you ll need to consult with a lawyer, and you ll also need an accountant. #3. Since your credit bad, you wont be able to get a loan or a lease on commercial property. You ll need to figure out what kind of equipment you ll need, buy it in cash, and start your business out of your home. You WILL get customers by being able to undercut big name shops due to your lack of overhead. #4. You ll need to do some marketing. You should put up ads on craigslist, you should post like crazy on car forums, especially any kind of local forum you might have. It s all about visibility. You may also want to print up some lawn signs / magnetic stickers advertising discount detailing work... Put them on your cars, put them around town, get those signs up anywhere you can legally put them.#5. If you are incredibly lucky, you ll find some customers. If you do good work for them at low prices, they ll refer their friends. If you keep doing good work, you ll eventually start to cashflow. At this point, you ll be in a position to take your financials to a bank, show them that you re making money, and show them how you plan to make even more money by expanding.I hope this helps and wasn t too complicated, but starting your own business is no joke :P

How do I process payroll when people are paid a retainer to be reimbursed when they earn a commission? Help? -

How do I process payroll when people are paid a retainer to be reimbursed when they earn a commission? Help?I am bookkeeping for a travel agent (my first one) and am wondering on the best way to process payroll in MYOB when the sales staff are paid a wage (retainer I suppose) each week which is to be paid back when they sell a house and earn their commission. Would you do an advance? There must be a better way. Any advice much appreciated.

You are correct; since you are paying them before the income is earned, then it is an advance. You will have lots of entries to make to make sure you reduce subsequent month s income by previous month s advances. How long do you plan to give advances until a house is sold?

Is it realistic in business to expect to sell 100% of your stock? -

or should i always expect to have some left over?

Your company wants a reserve.. so the CORPORATION doesnt sell all the stock.....

depends on what you be sellin, iwould say eventually, but then there is the stock rotation system, and replenishment.

Does anyone know a legit work-from-home company? -

I am a new mother and would really like to stay at home withmy daughter but it seems like all the work from home positions are scams and want you to pay up front. Any advice?

First and foremost- congratulations with your new little one.So many are scams. When my wife and I had our first we decided that I would stay home and raise our daughter (she has the better job, benefits, etc). I immediately started looking for work from home, I was pretty stand offish on most offers because of the old adage- if it sounds to good to be true... Not sure where I got the idea, but somehow I checked the BBB on one of the companies I had looked at a few times, and I saw what they said about them. I called the representative back that I had spoken to and signed up. Couple months have passed and I am so glad I did what I did, I love what I do, and I can see the change in myself and my home. I like the company, I like the free support, and free training. If you want- if you are interested, send me an email and I will forward you the contact information and you can check it out for yourself.Good luck,Guard5a

I work from home and started for FREE! I take surveys and make money everyday. I get paid monthly through direct deposit but you can choose to have the check mailed, direct deposit or paypal. Right now they are running a bonus sign up FREE and get $5 credited to your account. Give it a shot what do you have to lose right?

Are you interested in a stay at home retail job? I know of some companies that are very successful, and I know people who work for these companies who are very successful retailers. A lot of companies with retail workers do ask for a small fee to get started, but they still aren t scams. It is tough to find the legit ones on the internet though. I personally got involved with one company and had to pay a small setup fee, but since then, I made it all back and more by selling. Feel free to email me. kookykatie2002@yahoo.com. Good luck finding what you re looking for!~Katie~
