What type of license must you have for an online business in Michigan? -

My husband and i want to start an online store and we are based out of Michigan. What kind of permits do I need from State of MI and how difficult is it to obtain them??Thanks!

Hi Toxic,You may want to register a business name. Look up the Michigan Secretary of State for the Coporations section. You may need a sales tax license, and a business licence. Many communities don t require a business license for a home based business with no walk in traffic. Some do. Check with your city business license office.Planning is key. 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!

Advice for becoming self employed Please? -

I need someone to tell me the things I need to start a business. I want to work on my own with no other person and clean houses. I just don t know where to start or what to do?

First, find out whether there are any others in your area dooing this (house cleaning). Next if they are a company, then find out their rate and whether they are strong enough to make work difficult for you.Next find out the rate charged - both for bringing your material and for using the house owner s since some people like to use only their material.Maintain detailed accounts of all expenses and income.Invest maoney back in the business.End

It s not as hard as some would think. so, here is two suggestions.One, my buddy is giving away a FREE mp3 full of great content on how to start your own business or improve one you already have. here is the link... http://hmark.thesecondtier.com/thevideoGreat content that you can listen to while you are out and about.Two, my wife and I started a business this summer and made $5000 in 60 days. We thought about creating a franchise but decided to sell a package to help other stay at home moms or dads earn extra income. The package isn t available until after the first of the year. It will be very very affordable and we are going to offer a money back guarantee. So, if you are interested in more details, email me at markhoward101@yahoo.comMark

You will need a lot of info - a business plan, an idea of what type of business, the financing, whether or not the business will flourish in the economy now, etc, etc....there are articles online that will be of great benefit to you, even some in the Yahoo (not YA) Finance section. My example was being in the produce business - it was very good, until trying to compete with major corporations ran me out of biz

You couldn t have picked a worse time.

Does anyone know of any REAL work from home jobs? -

that are not scams or places that will do it.

I work from home with a prosperous, debt-free wellness company and I love it!! There s no product selling, no purchasing inventory or samples, and no going door to door! When you become part of the team, you get your own free website, free training, and AMAZING ongoing support! I truly love this company and what it stands for! It has benefited our family in so many ways...not just making extra cash but also helping us save time and money and getting healthier products in our home. With consistency and motivation, there s potential to make a great, solid, residual income! But you DO have to take some time to build up your business. I mean, it s not a get rich quick scheme or anything like that! You get paid by commissions and bonuses. This month there s an amazing promotion going on and it s only $1 to get started...only offered until Dec. 22nd! Believe me, I ve tried my fair share of home based businesses in the past and this one is IT!!! I m hooked for life!! Would love to share more details!! Jot me a note and I ll get back to you with all the info you need to decide if it s a fit for you!

You can only obtain legitimate work from home positions from brick and mortar companies. You want to send your resume out to companies hiring for positions you are qualified for, but include in your resume that you have a home office and you wish to work remotely. Include how you have your home office set up and what equipment you already have in order for you to perform your job. These jobs are just going to advertised as jobs, they would not promote them as work at home because they would hear from too many unqualified people.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of owning a franchise rather than starting a new small business? -

Starting up a new mom and pop type business is statistically very risky. Numerous studies have been conducted on this subject, and the general consensus indicates that 90-95% of new independents fail within two or three years. The steep learning curve that is involved can be a killer all by itself. The few who do succeed in this business model typically have an extremely high level of expertise in their product or service. They ve lived it all their lives. When it comes to franchising, however, much of the risk is reduced, or even eliminated. Although there are no guarantees, this business model is as close as you ll come to a guarantee of success. The same studies show that new franchise business startups rarely fail. The reason for this, quite simply, is because the often very long exercise of trial and error has already been done so many times that it s reached the inevitable point of trying and succeeding. The franchiser has made it through the learning curve and, along the way, has developed the success secrets for that business. Those who fail in franchising almost always were not committed to following the franchiser s systems. The main reason you buy a franchise is to minimize risk and to set yourself up for success. Traditionally, in a new startup, independent business, you are almost always operating from a shoot from the hip mentality, which can lead to failure. There is no past experience to draw upon, and it becomes challenging to control all aspects of the business. With a good, successful franchise model, you open yourself up to a deluge of information regarding all aspects of information, including financial assistance, site selection, and a wealth of knowledge from existing franchisees. Also, rapid growth is inevitable with the franchise model, which is only a good thing for a franchisee for many reasons, such as increased name/brand recognition and exposure to national advertising campaigns, which increase sales. Tremendous buying power because of constant expansion is also a major plus. Of course, the key is to follow the proven system of success, so your creativity can be somewhat lessened. In addition, you will have to pay a franchise fee and an ongoing royality, and your individual ability to make changes to the franchise is reduced dramatically. To summarize, franchising greatly reduces risk, enables you to follow a proven, successful system, and increases your chances of success in business exponentially.

advatage of a franchise is it s a brand name thats recognized and your making money instantly starting a new small biz has all disadavantages and higher cost and failure rates !

Is this is a good idea for online business? -

i thought about starting my own website answering peoples questions. and charge like a dollar for an answer. i know alot of useless info and i have access to lots of info. is this a good idea?

You should seriously consider revising your business plan/model. Offer the service for free and use targeted ads and affiliate programs on your site to earn money.

rather than setting up a website, why not set up a premium rate number that forwards to your cell, then advertise the fact that you can answer any question and when people call you will be making money from their calls rather than a $ per question answered on the web ;)

Considering your competition - yahoo answers - offers this service for free, it doesn t sound like a very viable idea. What would you offer that Y!A does not?

Well, you ll be competing with sites such as Yahoo Answers which give them away for free. So I doubt many people will pay for it.
