		<description>To : Tom Chumbley

Well, in my opinion.
all of the business sure do need investment,  wether it&#039;s quite a big amount or not.
Indeed, it&#039;s our responsibility, in managing and working on the investment itself.
In other word, being creative and innovative!
There are still any other way to keep in the business plan track by not to invest in a big amount of money.
While in the other hand, I had also though the same way as you did.

Well, let me know if you have any other idea related this.


Best regards,

		<description>I would like to know how to conduct a needs analysis. It seems in order to get any money one needs a business plan. In order to get a good business plane one needs an accurate needs assessment. In order to do a proper needs assessment - to see if in reality there is a need for one&#039;s services - it costs a lot of money. 

Correct me if I am wrong but did we just go in a circle? How do I obtain an accurate assessment of whether there is a need for the services I plan to provide without a substantial investment of money to get the assessment done?

Respectfully,

Tom Chumbley</description>
