		<description>I have started my own gas station/grocery and I used everything on this website and has made me very, very successful, I now run 3 stations, each one produce a little over 1 million in revenue each year. I am going to be opening another station come december, and the only thing that saved me was having buisness plans and taking all advice from this website. If you want to be very successful I would figure out what kind of buisness you want to run, and then find a local independant owner in which the same market you are trying to get into.  Spend some time at their place, get to know the owner and pop the question as of how they have been successful but for peace of mind let them lnow you will be opening away from their establishment or you will get no he&#039;ll p. But me as a 3 station owner I have helped over 6 people start a successful gas station or convi. Store and it has been wonderful. But no one wants MORE competition so please whoever you find to help you locally make sure to tell them you will not be direct competition. Hopefully this helps somof you trying to start small buisnesses</description>

		<description>Restaurant??  Please all who read this take this advice.  I have already started my first business and am currenly expanding.  Write the business plan!!  Use Business plan pro which will make it easy to do so.  Get your numbers together because you will need them.  If your a restaurant like I am don&#039;t waste your time with banks for financing they won&#039;t even consider it.  Look to the SBA for advice but again not for funding if your a restaurant.  You will need to get personal loans and make sure you have good credit because credit cards will be your saviour.  Good luck!</description>

		<description>The best advice I can give anyone writing a business plan for investment purposes, is to ensure that your spelling and grammar are correct.  Remember you are not texting your friends.  This is supposed to be a professional document.  I would never invest money in a venture if the person doesn&#039;t even have the ability to spell correctly, regardless of first language issues.
