I'm starting a company with a few friends and as part of the process, I met with a few accountants a few weeks ago to select one for our company. One of them decided to send me a bill for $240 for the initial consultation. I know it's customary for accountants to provide complimentary initial consultation; she also did not warn me in advance that she was going to charge me for the initial consultation. I think it's pretty unprofessional for her to just stick me with the bill, I don't think that I should pay for something I did not agree to. Do I have to pay? She has our to-be company's name, my name & address. If I don't pay, will my credit be damaged?

I am planning to start a concierge/errand service within the next year. Money will be tight. The company will begin as a sole proprietorship and will be home-based, no employees. I will have my AAS in accounting next May, so I think that I can handle the accounting stuff myself. For the type of business, I think that I will need insurance/bonding, but I was wondering if it would be okay to forgo this until I'm actually bringing in revenue. I definitely won't have the money for a lawyer, but I'm afraid that if I write contracts, releases, etc. myself that I will leave something out and put myself in a vulnerable position with clients.

So my question is can a start my business without a lawyer and insurance for now, or do I NEED to go ahead and invest in it? What can I do to protect myself on a shoestring budget (I'm talking tiny budget, $2500 max)

I am a stay- home mom with 2 infant sons. I am so far in debt right now I can't even think any more. I was running a daycare from my house, but I lost my certification, and my daycare kids due to a prolonged hospital stay during my pregnancy, (not to mention I hated it anyway) but now I don't have any income, and rent is due. My husband has been going to school, but with all of the stress with the new baby and our 15 month old son, and all of our financial issues, we have been fighting constantly and have seperated for a while. I need some legitimate ideas to make money FAST from home, and not just a little bit, either. I would like to find something permenant, and hopefully get out of debt. I will do almost anything, but I can't afford to get riped off, and I need to have a flexible schedule because of my sons. Somebody please help me, I am running out of time. I have nothing left to sell, and I don't want my babies to be homeless! I am seriously about to be evicted. Thanks!

Do you think I should renew my real estate license or drop it and why.

Are you a real estate agent? How difficult was it for you to get started? I've heard very few agents work while 75% just have real estate companies holding their licenses while they are inactive. Your comments please.

Mine would be a bed and breakfast or a boutique/gallery featuring the work of folk artists.
What would you like to do that combines your interests and skills and could allow you to be your own boss?

I have an acquaintance and long time rival who owns two nail salons. Recently I joined her after her entire staff walked out of one of her salons. She has relocated to an old location after being evicted from her previous space. Initially my thoughts were to serve in a capacity to help her rebuild her clientele and make some extra cash but she is now asking for my assistance with managing and financially supporting her business. The biggest CONCERN is that I KNOW that she has not been paying creditors ON TIME. The landlord came by to collect rent; $1700/month not including utility and supply expenses. She assured me that the equipment in the salon is paid for. It would be great to get into this business, but it could be months, maybe even years before it is ever profitable like it was. She is in debt and at risk to lose everything. What would be a good way to acquire the business and with out creating any type of partnership?

If I told you I'm giving you my commission from the sale of my product to you, would you consider my offer? ( I would, of course, give you an up-front estimate of your savings before you decided.)
