How can you start a business if you dont have enough collateral to get the loan approved? -

If someone is trying to start a small business in this economy it is harder than it used to be. According to the banks, and credit unions the bad economy has limited the loans available for startup funds. And you have to provide a higher percentage of collateral for the loan. Even if you could qualify for a minority loan under normal circumstances it is more difficult now. How can you start your own business if you can t gett the funds to get it off the ground?

It appears that you have never been in business before, therefore, I would strongly recommend that you talk to a business counselor before you do anything especially spend money. You have to determine whether you ll start a web based business or one with a store front ands nail down all of the one time and ongoing costs. I d call the local office of SCORE (go to the link below and input your zip code to find the chapter nearest you), the advice is FREE. The counselor at SCORE will most likely advise you to write a business plan which is very good advice because it will force you to dig out all of the start up details and the costs of starting your small business and force you to also understand all of the aspects of this business including the customers you ll concentrate on (your market) and how you ll go after them.You ll need to register the business with your state controller s office and make sure that you check to see whether any city and county licenses are needed where you live. All of this will come out in a business plan.Try linking to YCHANGE International and read some of the articles especially the ones about a business plan and getting a loan.

Small business accounting? -

I am in the process of starting a small business, a one man operation. I am looking for something to help me learn accounting, invoices, proposals, and other related accounting things. Would a college course in this help, if so in what? What software would be helpful? Should I hire someone?

Quickbooks is fine but my accountant uses Peachtree Acounting software. Most all the CPA s she knows use it over Quickbooks. I have Peachtree here on my computer and it is easy for my accountant when I pass on a disc to her. It would never hurt to take a course in basic accounting to help you direct your business. Probably Accounting 101 and Marketing 101. Any introductory business course -even Business Law 101 would give you a great start in business. If you decide to use an accountant find what they would like for you to use.Good luck.

Doing accounts for a small business is not outside the abilities of most people, I have included some links for you below.I have done my own accounts for some years and use microsoft. The backup is great.There is a lot of info on-line, some of it is free, or free to try so you can shop around a bit and find what suits you best.Microsofts program is adapted for where-ever you live.

To start off your business, save the money and do the books yourself. There are two ways to account for your business, Accrual accounting - more complected, your goal is to match revenue with expenses. Ie, you buy a machine that will last 10 years, you depreciate that machine over 10 years (its life) to the revenue you earn over that time.Option two, Cash accounting. It is what it means, if you buy a 10,000 machine, you expense that machine right away. When you make 10,000 on a sale, you report that income and deduct your expenses. Now, there are still a few rules, my guess - since you don t give us the nature of your business, you will fit in this category. Now, I think the limit to write off a single piece or series of pieces of equipment is around 100k this year, it will be near that. If you really want software ie your going to be so busy you can t just do this in a spreadsheet, look at quick books - you can get it at best buy. Now, my best advice for you, spend your time trying to get business ie marketing, and worry less about this part for now. Good luck to you.

I d suggest QuickBooks also. Easy learning curve and should do everything a small business needs. When you re ready to explode your business, I offer a service that will allow you to dominate your market via the internet. Bring in more customers for less expense.

How does a process via an Ebay Agent work? -

I am a craigslist shopper. i am now buying a bike via craigslist and the seller is telling me that she will send the bike to me and i will give money to an ebay agent and the agent will hold the money until i recieve the bike. Is this ebay agent safe? reliable? please tell me in more detail on how it works.

SCAM!!! SCAM!!! SCAM!!! SCAM!!! SCAM!!! SCAM!!!Craigslist does not have eBay agents; they re two different companies and sell in two different manners. Craigslist sells locally and eBay sells worldwide.Read every word of what Craigslist says on how to SAFELY conduct transactions.http://www.craigslist.org/about/scamsThe only way to use Craigslist is cash and carry. The seller gets CASH and after the buyer sees the item, they CARRY it off.

This is a scam.STOP all communications with this thief.There is NO SUCH THING as an eBay agent.
