Wholesalers will provide goods to you at very low quantities. You just need to provide an ABN or ACN number and name. Overseas suppliers and manufacturers, will also supply low volume merchandise (50 to 100 units) as comapred to 20 years ago where the mimimum purchase order would have been 1000 units.In Australia, you could get a booklet of importers and wholesalers from the Australian Small Business Bureau.The Yellow pages is quite good if you know what to llok for. Do a seach in there Web site for Stationery with an e (hehehe) and you should get some good results. Even try other countries rather than just your location for suppliers.Your ABN has been referenced about what you stated at the time of registration so you will need to go back to registration and change the details, or add details if they are relevant or similar. I suppose if you previously ran a fast food shop, it would not be relevant but if your business was providing goods and services then it would still apply. Ask at Small Business Names Registration about these things and name changes. Think of a new name before you go.Stationery is wide and varied so you will have to decide what type of stationery would best suit your need as well as others. Many people just order online and have the goods delivered. Your business will nor be very successful, at least for the first 3 years, if you are lucky. Stationery includes pencils, pens, textas etc, Paper - A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 as well as a myriad of colours. Rulers, arts and crafts, pen holders, binders etc... You see, you need to cut down the variety and just provide the same items as what you would use.Advertise through use of pmaphlets, leaflets. brochures. you will not be able to compete with other retailers so you will need to be able to provide a good marketing strategy to convice people that what you provide would be more benefical to them than just ordering from the local stores.Startionery is very low profits based. You will have to add sales tax and delivery charges and your commission to the cost of the product. I think you have decided this idea in haste. You should specialise in a range of products that would be marketable to a more interested audience.

I think you should go online! you may need to get a new domain if the one you have is not the right combination of keywords. To learn how to do that, go to:http://www.sitesell.com/Carmen6.html

You probably need to show proof that you operate under the business name.Why do you want a business account? Do you need multiple signons?

Normally, you ll need to upload documents related to your business name address in addition to verifying your bank account.

I want to make money from my home, i want something that doesnt have start up cost? -

can someone please help me, i know there are people that are making really good money at home. due to my health i am not able to hold a outside job, and besides it doesn t pay enough. i really want a lucrative buisness. please no scams. honest replies only

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.

There are not a lot. Here are some ideas:If you can write, code or have other computer skills, try an outsourcing site like rentacoder or guru (both are .com) Some outsourcing sites also specialize in accounting.If you re any good with a camera, (real photos, not snapshots ) you can sell the pics as stock photos to stock photo sites like istock or shutter stockDog care business; you can walk them, and pick up the yard for the owners. (it sounds crazy but my friend has lucrative pooper scooper/dog walking business. Some people just let their dogs loose in the yard and never pick up after them since it s their yard. But just because they don t want to do it, doesn t mean they wouldn t like it done.Buy a PLR ebook with master resale rights (very important to have that phrase) and set up your own website to sell it.Sell on eBay, but it doesn t have to your stuff. Become a eBay dropoff place. People will bring you their stuff to sell. You can photograph it and write descriptions and set up the auctions. Then you can either take a cut or charge a flat fee.

search for direct shippers. these are the company that let you sell there products on amazon or ebay and they ship the product to the customer and you dont need any inventory i dont think there are start up costs involved. then look up online reveiws of the companies you choose to make sure they are not scams and have a good reputation. just make sure the online review isnt posted by a competing company they do that a lot. tell you one company is a scam then tell you they are better then that company tries to scam you. watch out for that. hope u do well

Although there are many legitimate sites that offer full or part time offers, one must be careful because there is always someone trying to get your money. I would recommend, investigating before getting involved in anythingespecially in offers that sound too good to be true. See the source if you would like to know some of these legitimate online jobs.

I am 24 and work full time but I found a site last year a friend recommended for making extra spending money online. It was free to sign up and has paid me every 2 weeks to my paypal.Pays in good dollar amounts, Not pennies.Even pays you when you sign up. I get to pick and choose when and what surveys and things I want to do, and it is super easy. It doesn t spam you like some other lame sites I tried before. I suggest it to anyone I can. I posted the link below. http://tryvindale.com/VfSRKYD63

I recently sold a book on ebay, and I want to know if I should ship it before I get the money? -

What should I do? And how long does it take for the money to go into my account?

What do you mean before you get the money? Are you saying the money is being put on hold by PayPal? If the payment is showing on your balance but can not use it because it s on hold, you may ship the book and ask the buyer to give you a positive feedback. The money will be released in 24 hours. However, if the money is not showing on your PayPal balance, then it only means no payment has been made and therefor you do not need to send the book to anyone.

Never ship anything before you get paid

You should never ship anything until you recieve cleared payment. It s not worth the hassle if the payment fails and it only takes a few days. Good Luck!

wait till you get it. i think they can onlypay by paypal. it hits your account as soon as they send it.

Do not ship it before you are paid. If it is an Echeck, wait till it clears.

no

What companies would order some custom software development? -

Like what is the minimum revenue of the company that would order it? Or what is the minimum number of employees the company ordering it will have? I understand that 1-person or even 5-person company would not order custom software to be written - so what are the minimum requirements to qualify those companies that would order?

There are no hard and fast criteria, Its will depend on exactly what the custom software is required for, what the cost saving will be by having it, and whether it is cost and time effective to have it produced.Small companies, less than 50 may be 100 staff, probably do not have the revenue to buy in completely custom built software but may be able to afford to have a macro based customisation on top of an existing product i.e. Microsoft Excel/Word via Visual Basic macro s as opposed to a completely new spreadsheet or word processor.On the other hand if the developer sees a market for the product over and above a single company they may be willing to develop for a small company on the cheap and retain the right to sell it on their own.
