I want to start up a childcare learning center. I am a teacher by trade and I see a need to not only teach the child, but to educate the family unit. The community in which these children live. I want a learning center that offers trainings for things such as non chemical hair training, tutoring trainings, seminars, etc. HELP!!!! I saw a great building in Avondale az that would be great to start this business. No money so I drive by my dream everyday. It hurst to see a great building not being utilized due to funds.

i live in a small tow where there is a lot of hispanics and i have heard that a lot do not know how to speak english which i know well they should learn but for a buisness i think it would be great to open a movie theatre where the movies would be translated in spanish and i know for sure i would have a lot of people going to my theatre even from far away small towns i dont really know what the cost could be but thats what i would like to do also buy a pretty big land to make them parking for mobile homes for at least ten it would be great because there is not a lot of space for mobile homes in town. also make a salon sort of like a ballroom to make partys but make it really pretty in the inside elegant jst really nice a lot of people only have two options here to rent a salon and they are not pretty big and spacious but not elegant enough for a wedding or quince or sweet sixteen. those are my ideas i have plenty more but those are my three first ones i can think of.

I am a young entrepreneur who has created a clothing brand here in Florida which I plan to grow nationally in the long-run. I am a college student with insufficient capital to complete the start-up of the brand. The brand has been funded thus far by my friends and we have come to the point where we can not avoid the inevitable necessity of solid funding. Everything is ready to go with the brand. We are not ‘creating’ the brand, it is already created; now we are ‘building’ the brand. Necessary to note, because of the nature/culture of the brand, it has the potential to expand internationally as well. I have also been informed of certain grants that one could receive through various qualifications but I have not been successful in finding them. Its nice to find out that they may not exist.

Lakisha,

Take advantage of your local resources! Check to see if you have a SCORE, Small Business Development Center, or Economic Development Center. Call your local Chamber of Commerce to see if they have classes or can refer you to a local small business program. Also check with your local community college to see about resources they provide.

Good luck!

I am looking for money to start a DIY business helping the lower income families improve their home interiors on very tight budgets. I have done many homes. One I just finished only cost 200.00 for my customer. This was a trashed double wide trailer. I frequent our towns thrift stores, garage sales, ads in the paper, ebay and other online services to obtain the customers items needed. For instance, Rustic Design= tree branch curtain rods, ribbon sewn to the curtain fabric, usually done for 2.00 a window. I would like to build a playhouse on my patio, 10×10 with access to the alley. I would use this as my office, and to do my designs and store the items I have created. I need about 6,000 dollars to start. Business permit, computer, have wiring and insulation put in etc. My goal is to help low income families turn a plain house into their home. I only charge 10.00 hour so they can afford me. Anyone interested in helping me find the money or the playhouse please email me. Thanks, Annie

Good Morning.

I have spent the good part of a year researching the viability of a fine wine merchant in the Netherlands specialising in South Africa and French wines. The Dutch market is one of the most emerging wine markets in the Netherlands with a large demand on fine wines from South Africa and France.

I have developed an interactive concept whereby customers can taste wine in the store before they buy, at the own pace. This is done by installing advanced Enomatic wine dispensing units whereby the customer uses a tasting card that works on the same basis as a bank card. When the customer purchases a sample of wine, the value is deducted from the overall balance on the card.

This will be the very first store in the Netherlands to offer customers this opportunity. I have up to this point aquired all machinery, software and systems in order to make this possible. However, I require capital injection to the value of 70 000 Euros to make it possible. The expansion potential is enormous with the possiblity of entering the German, Danish, Belgian and Swedish markets.

Anyone interested in participating in this venture is free to contact me.

I have 16years experience working in the Greenhouse and plant business.My old place of business closed.The owner died and new owners took over. They did not know how to run a nursery.They made it for 3 years running the nursery into the ground.It closed last fall never to reopen. I want to reopen another nursery at this location.All buildings and most of the equipment are still there.The only supplies would be plants and plant potting items.Also some lawn and garden supplies. Iknow of some of the old Warren and Son employees that have experience and knowledge that would work for me.I can grow just about anything you put in front of me. I have seen many of the old customersand truely believe this nursery could work again.Lots of people are staying home tending thier yards and flower beds.I`m looking for an angel to help with capital to purchase the property.Someone willing to invest in an enviromental business.The most I need is $300,000.00 to$400,000.00.There are no nurserys close for my former customers to buy at.This CAN work! Please contact me soon. Evalia Johnston.
