Im starting a business, and I need to apply for a grant, to help fund can anyone show me a easy way to apply? -

There s not really an easy way to apply for grants. All funding applications need to be accompanied by a solid business plan. This means researching your market, your competitors, showing the viability of your business and explaining how you will repay the funds.If you re in the UK, Business Link is very good for free help and advice on this. They have business plan templates and know all the sources of funds.Good luck!

Unless your business is female owned or in in a special minority classification, your chances of getting a grant a re slim to none. Read below for more in depth information.

Grants have very specific requirements and very few people ever qualify for them and if it is to just start any old business, forget it - you re not going to get anything

For a government grant, go to grants.gov/ and follow the instructions but your chances of getting one are slim to none.

What advice do you have for someone opening their first business now, considering the state of the economy? -

Make a business plan and stick with it. Some small businesses shoot themselves in the foot by trying to do too much (going outside what they are good at) or too little (not using all their resources and abilities. I would suggest doing some economic evalutation. Is the economy in your area really bad (stores closing, people leaving) ? Will your business fulfill a want or a need? If you are targeting needs you can probably build even in tough times but if you are offering to fulfill a want, the determination of the consumer to fill their desires may be waning. In tough times luxuries are pushed to the side by more people. Good luck!

Two (2) words: MARKET RESEARCH. Who is your market?? Are they willing to buy in this economy? If so, what are they willing to buy and how much are they willing to spend for it. Market research is the foundation of any business plan.A simple and proven method of market research is to start by giving away samples of your product in return for honest customer feedback (limited by your start-up budget of course). It s an old saying. If you can t give it away, you sure can t sell it. In other words, will people want your product for free in return to take the time to feel out a survey about the product and how much they willing to pay for it. If this is out of the question or beyond your budget, then do your market research using on-line resources: 1) Write an e-book about the benefits of your product or service. Note: you can write and produce an e-book very inexpensively. 2) Then give the e-book away in return for an opt-in e-mail (i.e. opt-in listing building). 3) Then, send e-mail to people who opt in and solicit feedback about your e-book and the underlying product or service. The beauty of this technique is that these individuals will become your customersIf you are interested in learning more regarding the on-line methods, review the resources below. Best Wishes

Before starting a business, you must do a market survey in order to have an idea of the present scenario. Developing a business plan can be an add-on to your business. I know a website that is engaged in providing assistance to run the business successfully. Find out your way by browsing through the pages of http://www.fintel.us/

Start your business online first like mine:http://www.TapSurface.comWants it generates enough income for you to open a store front go for it, you will know (and the bank possibly giving you the loan) that you can pay your lease at least.

Unless you are 100% sure that it will work, don t do it.

Anyone know a good website to sell all of my books/text books? -

I went to a few websites that sell used books and textbooks. However, all of my books are no longer being sold (as they tell me) and none of these websites want to buy my books. Does anybody know a website that will literally sell all books no questions asked and scam free? I really need to get rid of these, and donating will be my last plan if all else fails.

You could try http://www.half.ebay.com/, or you can use http://bookscouter.com/. Book Scouter finds the website that will buy your book immediately at the highest price. I use both of these websites but I usually find that the websites through Book Scouter are only willing to pay about 1/2 of what you could get using half.com. Another way to sell books is at your college campus bookstore, just make sure that the books that you want to sell them are the ones that they are currently selling to students otherwise they will probably not take them. You could also post ads for your books around the campus (with permission from the college first). Good luck!

I would suggest using GreenTextbooks.orgSave Money, Save The Planet GreenTextbooks.org specializes in the recycling of textbooks, DVDs, CDs. Buying used textbooks not only saves you money, but cuts down on greenhouse gases caused by the manufacturing of new textbooks.With GreenTextbooks.org you re not only saving trees, you are saving some green. http://www.GreenTextbooks.org

How do i get into a real estate business? -

plz help me

How do you want to get involved? To be a real estate broker, you need to take special classes, pass the state exam, and get a realtor s license from your state government. This will allow you to sell properties for clients and help customers buy real estate.If you want to become a landlord, find some property to rent and have a lawyer explain landlord/tenant laws in your area. The lawyer should also draw up a lease for you to use when renting your properties.
