Im a small clothing company. how do i go about getting licensing rights from schools to use their logos/? -

we would like to get licensing/logo rights from schools to use their logos for shirts, hats,mugs, etc.thanks,

You need to contact the Collegiate Licensing Company at http://www.clc.com/ and apply for permission to use the marks of the institution(s) you want to make products for. Your application won t get far unless you already have an established business making products and are creating a new or unique product that significantly different from the hundreds of other offerings that are already out there.You can also contact the individual schools directly. If you re only going to do merchandise for one or two schools or are going to be working with smaller schools that may not participate in the CLC, that may be a better option.

I know amazon dont use paypal to process its payment, do you know which payment processor it use?? thanks!!? -

Amazon uses their own internal payment system. You can set it up with a credit or debit card, or they can draft directly from a bank account.They also have an Amazon Payments program which is similar to paypal in that you set it up with you credit card or bank account info, and then you can use it through Amazon OR other sites which accept AmazonPayments

Is it a good idea to leave a full time job to concentrate on improving your business? -

Enter more detail here (Optional)

Depends on if your business is currently providing enough income to support you.

Just to add a bit to Marci s thoughts: This question goes directly to your tolerance for risk. But here s an idea on how to mitigate some of that risk. I typically advise people to have a five-year plan for starting and operating their companies. Included in that plan should be financial modeling for both your company and your home. You ll want to include your current job in those models, then start figuring out whether and when you can bail out on the consistent salary.Be very honest in the models, probably even overly conservative if you choose to. By the end of the process, you ll have a pretty good picture of when you might be able to slide over to the business full-time -- or even whether you should.

Nurimee, this is a question only you can answer. A few years ago I wrote a book called One Person/Multiple Careers about people who were pursuing multiple vocations simultaneously (e.g. lawyer/chefs, teacher/real estate brokers). Many of the folks I profiled were like you -- working full-time jobs while running their businesses on the side. And often when I went to do follow-up interviews with them, they had ditched their day jobs (I ll use that term loosely since they don t all happen during the day) to dedicate more time to their businesses. But the timetable on that shift on that varies widely.Some businesses can flourish with the extra scraps of time you can give them after the day job is over. I ve seen many people build successful online businesses or consulting practices while going to a job with defined hours. That works because they can focus on their business any time of the day. Others find that their businesses stagnate because they are not physically present or they can t have meetings or make phone calls while keeping up the day job.The trigger moment usually happens when you realize that your business is asking for more of you. Clients are showing up, orders are streaming in, and you re seeing other evidence that there s a great demand for whatever you re offering.This could happen before the business generates enough income to support you. If that s the case, you should leave a job once you ve figured out how you re going to support yourself.Good luck!

Don t ask us, what does the math say..Can your business provide you enough to live on, if your very very frugal?If it can, go for it. Otherwise, hang onto the day job.
