Question

I want to start a small business, any suggestions?

Answer 1

First, let me commend you on looking to run your own business.  If your thinking about a traditional brick and mortor, its going to cost you alot of money and its going to be alot of hard work for the first couple of years.  The other alternative is joining a business opportunity that is already established, has customers, has a product, and is far cheaper than even the cheapest of traditional businesses!  Check out the website below and get some more information!

Answer 5

The best business to start will depend on what you want, how you define to be interesting. A person may consider a pet sitting business to be the most exciting work in the world, while another person would rather watch TV than take care of dogs.

The key is to determine what your interests are, what you want to do, what is suitable for your lifestyle and your overall goals, and what can fit with your resources.
