Small Business - September 2007

I am looking to start a business in making and selling knit and crochet wear! :) I don't know where to start really, and I need some help finding out about laws, work permits, and business permits (I live in California.) I'm planning on selling pre-made scarves, providing yarn selection (out of the yarns I own) and then making scarves for friends and people in the community, and allowing customers to bring in their yarn and have me do the craft work. However, I am not looking to open a store, do online selling (only online advertising), or to self-employ for money. I want to sell my crafts because I love knitting and crocheting, and I think I could make some money off of it.
thanks for any help :)

Neighbors decided to complain after we approached them and they were ok with it. We have spent thousands of dollars and are now ready to open in 1 month. I have quit my job in order to get ready for this.

Hello I would like to know if any one can explain the step bye step process of getting started in a small
Business. When I mean step bye step I mean every thing from finding a good location, to buying the location, getting a business loan, getting a business license, and making sure your place of business is up to code. Etc.. I would like this info to be about owning and running a dinner. I really don’t know much about
This field I just know that owning a dinner is something I really wanna do

Other things Im not really sure how to do
Paying taxes at the end of the year on your business
Payroll
Insurance on your company and employees
Finding good places to buy your products from
Pricing your menu items
Coming up with unique menu items that sets you apart from the competition
Marketing your business
Managing your expenses

And any thing else that I did not mention that im sure to need

Also im sure your asking yourself if I don’t know any thing about the business why
Am I going into it well the answer is I will be going to school to learn more about it
I just wanna get any tips and as much information about it now so I can be ready.

So I emailed 'this lady' about a home typist to work from home and I would like to enquire some more info on the company and the business itself. She replied There is a $10 non-refundable fee for training materials. So i asked how can I be confident she will be sending me 'info' if idont know the name of the company. she replied: Look, if I sit here and answer all of the questions that you have asked of me thus far, then there will be no need for me to send you the training materials. You either buy the training materials or you don't. It's that simple. It is my belief that this business is not for you! Besides I would not want you to continue to waste your energy, time (and my time), and money on something that you obviously have serious doubts and concerns over. However, I hope that you will find the right JOB or Business Opportunity that will suite the needs and desires that you are looking for.
HAHAHHA WHAT SHOULD I DO??

I am a freshman undergraduate student at Winston Salem State and am not exactly sure what I should major in. I am thinking about majoring in economics, but it is also a goal of mine to one day own my own business. I don't know what exactly it would be, or in which field, but it is something I would like to do if I get the chance. So, what major can set me up for a career in the corporate world (if it doesn't work out) and my goal of being an entrepreneur: economics, management, entrepreneurship, or some other business major?

I should also mention that I'm a big sports fan and wouldn't mind owning a business or having a job dealing with or related to sports (basketball, football mostly)

(I'm not saying I'm going to become an entrepreneur, but would just like to now which degree gives me skills I could use in a regular job, and in starting and running my own business)
