its possible - but most likely not.yurts are very complex and you have to skin animals in order to get the animal fur unless you buy it . but still..i would use that as a living.

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.

advertise in your local area, either through the local newspaper or advertisements with a picture and contact details on a basic flyer on A4 sized paper in local shops (asking the shop keepers permission first though).otherwise, on the net (if you put it up on a webiste or something) just state that you want to sell to people living in your local area only (under conditions or notes i think):)

Commercial Auction Moving? -

my dad is into the moving business and he told me that a friend told him that there is this thing where big companies list their their things that they need to move and then they put it on some kind of an auction and the guy with the cheapest price wins is this true? i asked him if he ever saw such a thing he said no i then asked if his friend saw something like that he said no but he said his friend heard it somewhere(i think this is stupid and he has no proof what so ever) if it is true can u post me the link for the web or tell me where i can find it, cause when i look in good nothing comes up

It is the same theory used in government bidding for jobs. When the state needs a new bridge built or other items made, they announce the job, the legal requirements for the bidders, and the deadline to submit a bid. The bids are received sealed and are not opened until the deadline has past. The lowest bid wins the contract.Now, I have no specifics for the case you described; but it is a common way for companies to receive bids on work to be done.
