Small Business - October 2006

In most of the mini-marts and gas stations I've been to lately, there is a white bag around the "J" pipe that goes from the sink's drain into the wall. The clerks I've asked have no idea why it is there. I was hoping a small business owner would know. I live in California. Your results may vary.

I am writing a research paper entitled, "Small business entrepreneur women have very rewarding employment because they have more time to spend with their families and more time to pursue recreational activities." I am doing a case study on Mary Kay retailers. I have more specific questions if anyone would like to leave their email address, first hand opinions would make my paper fantastic! Thanks!

My Uncle, in his endles efforts to motivate me into entrepreneurial adventures (by the way, I'm 16), always suggests various ideas for small businesses that I could do. Some of them aren't bad, but alot seem a bit farfetched.

A few days ago, he came up with puting vending machines in apartment buildings, and letting them make money for you.

Here's the part where I ask that anyone with busines knowedge correct me at every wrong.

The way I understand that, is that I would get in contact with Coke, or some other company that leases/sells vending machines. I obtain one, and then speak with apartment building landlords to see who will allow me to install the machine in their building. Supposing I find someone who agrees, I would likely have to pay the landlord some fee for using his space. After that, the cash would roll in, I would pay to restock the machine, rinse and repeat.

So first of all, is my understanding of how that would work correct? Second how much do vending machines cost?

I want to sell a small number of handcrafted items - handmade bags - and I'm trying to work out the best way to do it. My first choice would be Etsy.com but I don't have a credit card and won't be able to get one. I'd prefer not to sell on Ebay but would be willing to use it if I can't find anything else. My own website seems overkill for a small number of items (though I plan to expand). I can't afford my own ssl now, so if I want to do something on my own website it has to be something that doesn't need to be secure. I plan to use paypal as a payment processor. I know I can use paypal to make 'buy it now' buttons but I would prefer something a bit more automated. Any advice would be appreciated!

We're a new business which wants to establish a credit history. We're thinking a company credit card would help us do that. They all seem to rely on our president's credit, but we want to make sure our payment history accrues to the company. Is there a good no-fee card that will work for us?

I work at a small family owned company. My boss is the owner of the company, there is no higher or lower. I've been working here over a year; I have experience in the field since 1998. I have 3 years of college and other training classes in many fields. Despite everything and my qualifications, I spend most of my time filing or answering phones. One time I even was asked to make the owner’s son’s pictures into book form (cutting, copying, pasting into the format). One of the owners is prone to tantrums and throwing things across the room for giving him a phone call.

I wake up sick to my stomach at the thought of coming to work and there are nights where I wake up in cold sweats after nightmares from work.

I am completely under appreciated and I do the meaningless jobs and they trust me with nothing. They've said I'm not smart enough to do certain things. I've had to completely change the way I dress, my hair, and my make up, even my perfume for them.
