Grand Opening Giveaway Contest Question? -

In a few weeks I will open a new business and thinking about doing a special Grand Opening promotion like giveaway a few door prizes. My question is will I break any laws (North Carolina) if I make customers do a minimum purchase in order to enter this contest. Due to the nature of my business, it s does make make a huge different to one customer who spend says $50 and get the same chance as a non-purchased customer. So I was wondering may be if I advertised that a minimum purchase had to be $5 and the customer who purchased $50 worth of good would get 10 entries and have more chances.

Not legal. That woudl be a lottery, not a giveaway/contest. Lotteries are considered gambling. Look at other contests/giveaways - all say no purchase necessary Check the NC website for specific information on information on gaming (gambling) laws.

New business registrations are public record, right? -

Can they be found online, or do I need to go in person to my city hall? Which department? I m in New York City if that matters. My boss wants a whole list of them for business, but I don t think it works like that (I think you re suppose to provide names?). I just wanted to ask. :\

I am pretty sure it would be public info if a person has a business license or not. It s not something that is found online. Anyone can set up a website and even operate a business but it doesn t mean they have a business license. As far as going to the city hall you could do that to see if someone has a business license but I am not sure if they would tell you unless you have a reason for needing to know. I don t think they would provide you with a list of everyone who holds a business license and addresses or anything like that so your boss could solicit them for business. Why else would he need to know who all holds a business license? This is not something you can just go and look at their books or records and find for yourself.

Yes. recorded at county.

I want to start a club at school. Any good ideas? -

I want to start a club at school but i want it to be unique. What type of clubs would you join? Any good ideas?

The guy above me was WAY wrong to ask you what school and what city you belong to. Please do not answer him. That was very inappropriate. I m sure you know but I wanted to warn you just in case. How about:Art ClubGuitar ClubRunning ClubPing-Pong ClubTennis Club Creative Writing ClubKey Club (community service club)Glee Club (singing club)Movie Club (watch and study movies)Peer Aid Club (you have things like bake sales and car washes to help student who join the club with tuition and personal finances; a lot of people would join this one)Theater Club (you could raise money and have frequent opera or theatre field trips: afterschool or on the weekends to build knowledge aabout theatre and their techniques and stuff) Just some ideas to help with your thinking =D

Hi Han, I believe you have a great idea and a great opportunity!!! I had been trying to find a serious, mature, and responsible business oriented club to join myself. I was the President of the International Club of my High School back in NY. To be unique, the first thing to do is to brainstorm about different ways to make it innovative, for example if you are going to begin a business club, within the club, select team and have them research, develop, design and compete among each other to prove the qualities and talents of its members. That is just one idea. Sorry but what is your club idea about, what city and what school? Hope to hear back from you soon!

How much does it cost to insure a jewelry store? -

I am doing a fairly in depth project for school and I need to find out how much it costs to insure a small retail jewelry store. Obviously it depends on allot of things but for the purpose of this project I just need a rough number. Thanks!

Where is it locatedHow many square feetValue of inventoryAmount of risk on inventory you are willing to acceptHow much liability coverageHow much liability exposure are you willing to acceptTalk to a good insurance agent about this

The answer depends largely on the value of the inventory. There are fairly standard valuations used for property such as the building (which may be independently insured by the lessor) and other standard equipment such as display cases, stocking equipment, POS terminals, etc. These would be similar from store to store. The largest insurable value would be the jewelry itself, which would vary widely from store to store.Because the value of the inventory would probably dwarf that of the other items, I d just estimate that value then figure on a monthly premium equal to 3% of that. A quick call to a local insurance company would probably get you a more accurate estimate based on current actuarial conditions.

The cheapest small business is MLM or network marketing.MLM DOES require that you call on friends and family as your first customers until you REALLY learn how to market. Regardless of the crap you may hear online about attracting clients.You can also build websites.If you want to start a brick and mortar business you need to go to the SBA and join SCORE.All SBA loans require that you put up a minimum of 20% and that you are at the job site or business 90% of the time. Basically, you buy a job for yourself.
