Help with my T-Shirt Business? -

I am starting a t-shirt business and I need to find manufactures who can print and ship my shirts. I have the designs all ready and I just need another company to print the shirts with my designs on them and them ship them out to the customer or to me. thanks in advance

If you re willing to consider an online-based option, there are a few companies to choose from. You may wish to compare CafePress, Printfection, Zazzle, or Spreadshirt. CafePress was the pioneer in online print-on-demand t-shirt manufacturing.Print-on-demand t-shirts usually cost more per unit than traditional printing but there is no minimum order. It can be a worthwhile trade-off because it guarantees you won t get stuck with boxes in your basement if the shirts don t sell. Another benefit is that you can test market your designs before doing a larger run.The print-on-demand option levels the playing field for people who only want to create personal shirts or cool one-off designs. But it s also scaleable and you can make your designs available online for anyone to buy, from anywhere in the world. Some promotional companies discretely source their shirts this way and can actually make more money than working with a 3rd party supplier.all the best!Bryan

Can I use Government Grants as funding? -

The security company I own won a contract with a government agency. Since I��ll need to hire 10 additional employees, I��ll need money for payroll. My bank can��t help because my credit score is in the mid 600��s and my credit cards are almost maxed out. Is there any solution? Are there any government grants available to help me?

You may want to talk to microlender in the state where you live. They provide small loans to small businesses. Another solution is to factor your government invoices. What this means is you work with a factoring company that will advance money against your invoices as you complete the work. Also known as receivables financing, the creditworthiness shifts from you to the entity paying the invoice.

They don t give grants for this kind of thing. Presumably you worked the additional salaries into your bid on the job. Get a deposit on the contract and use that to pay the staff plus incidentals.

The security company won a government contract, and you want to use government funds to pay the people working on the government contract?

Does not sound to me like you won the bid for the government contract legally?

Where is the best place to get items to sell on Ebay? -

Such as wholesalers or anything else you can provide.

You can find some excellent deals on Craigslist.org. Search the various product sections and also check the freebie section. Determine what the items are selling for on Ebay, and then make your offers at 30-50% below that to compensate for Ebay and PayPal fees.Another resource is Freecycle.org. Everything in the Freecycle.org network is free, but I will say it is frowned upon to get items from Freecycle.org and then sell them. If you do this, I would make sure you don t make it known what your intentions are.You can also frequent garage sales, flea markets, thrift stores, etc.If you re looking for wholesalers:www.alibaba.com
