Small Business - November 2006

I am in the planning phases of a software development services business. The business will target government contracts with small business set-asides. We will not target the consumer market or small business market.

It is not too late to change the name because the business hasn't actually launched. Other than a domain name, web server, and mail server there won't be much work in changing.

The name is "CoderBrigade". I see both positive and negatives to it. First the positive. It is early in the alphabet. It is easy to remember. I own the domain name. Good domain names are hard to come by. It describes what we do.

The bad points, courtesy of my wife:
1) sounds militant
2) Misleading; a brigade is usually a large organization. We are not.
3) "Coder" is not a respected title, as Software Engineer, etc
4) She doesn't think it sounds professional

If you had the chance to pick a business name from the beginning, would you change what I have or go with it?

I am a regular 22 year old college student. I have a business idea that would take x of millions of dollars to start. How would i go about getting funds/started in the process of building an indoor sport complex? It would consist of basketball courts, a turf soccer field, and other areas for volleyball and other sports. Winter takes up 8 months of the year here, limiting the use of the outdoor arenas. A lot of people get throught the winter by playing sports. There are limited places(that are nice) to go for sports such as soccer, basketball, volleyball...etc. There are 3 recreation centers, a YMCA, and few health clubs that arent even involved with sports. Some high schools rent their gyms out but it is pretty pricy. There is one sports complex that is semi new but poorly ran. They have a turf field and 5 courts for basketball, volleyball, etc., that are made from this weird plastic flooring. I am convinced that if there were another sports complex, that it would be very successful.

I have a business plan and am still building it to perfection As I hope to open a Massage Therapy practice within the coming year, and I need atleast one Investor, or a Partner willing to go in on this Business with me.
I want to open it as a Semi Indoor Outdoor Massage Clinic. With a Greenhouse with a Table set up and plants growing inside, for a Semi Outdoor Massage session incase of rain or Winter season (the client will get the warm cozy effect of being outdoors while relaxing Massage session with the sunlight, while it snows outside, and a Coy Pond with a Bridge over one side to a Platform with a Massage table in the middle, for a open air Outdoor Massage. Of course there will be a Office with a reception area and a waiting area with a Television and Magazine rack on one side and a Display area for the Products and Modalities used in each session.

This is a Well thought out plan all the way down to the money it will take to open and run this BUsiness each month.

I am a mom of 4 chidren and have recently posted some items for sale on Ebay. I've heard that a lot of people have had success doing this. I'm concerned though that no one is bidding on my items because I don't have a rating score yet. How will anyone trust that I will ship them the merchandise they purchased or that I'm legitimate. I know I would be skeptical to purchase anything from someone w/ no rating score. Can anyone give me any tips. I'd love to hear some success stories! I'm not looking to be rich. Just make some extra spending cash for the kid's and myself. I am a stay at home mom and thought this would be great for me. Thanks in advance for your responses!

Really I want to know if it's a case of contacting the manufacturer and asking how much each unit costs and is there any type of minimum purchase amount.

Will they just get back to me with the info I need then we go from there? Can I haggle with price? Will it cost me a lot for shipping etc being a small online retailer?

I am putting together my plans for opening a jewelry store. Someone just recommended that I not buy my finished pieces from overseas factories (which I had been thinking was the best way to go but I was not sure which factories and where...Bangkok? China?) and to instead consider using the following U.S. distributors, who are said to manufacture themselves and not import:

Stuller
Quality Gold
Hoover & Strong

Does anyone know of any others? One of these looks very good but the other two are not offering the kind of stuff I want - finished jewelry and not parts/components.

Thanks for any leads you may have!
