Small Business - November 2007

a friend of mine is opening up a food franchise and he is insisting that he will make $10,000+ weekly upon opening his business next month... I told him that he will eventually make that money but not at the beginning... he thinks he is going to roll in the dough within weeks of opening his first business. what do u think?

I'm really interested in starting my own small business. I'm a 1st year University student, so I don't have the same resources or time as others (I do have the drive!), but I've heard of several individuals who have started and managed several successful small business ventures while in college. I've looked for resource online, but have come up pretty short. It seems that all of the sites related to this are either a) trying to sell you a book, or b) lauding a group of college entrepreneurs.

any help would be great, thanks!

I go to my local coffee house. Some days I feel like cappuccino which is $3.25 for a double shot, and sometimes I feel like a large Italian soda which is $2.50.

This shop has a card, you collect 10 stamps, you get a free drink.

I tried to redeem my fully-stamped card for an Italian soda and the manager told me no. I said what's the problem...the sodas are cheaper than the coffee? She told me that the sodas are not eligible and I could either pay for the soda or order a coffee for free, any coffee on the menu, even the largest fanciest coffee at $4.50.

What could possibly be the reason for telling a repeat customer NO considering it is to the store's cost advantage, not to mention satisying the customer?

As far as meetings to make the company better. Everyone just follows the status quo. No one ever has any unique ideas on how we can make this organization better. They just sit there and wait for me to give them directions on what to do. Then they follow those directions word for word without asking any questions or making any improvements.

Like, whom would you approach for financing? Copyrighting? Publicity? and of course, the manufacturing of the game itself? We would appreciate any serious advice.

I have collateral but I cannot seem to get approved anywhere. I have been in business for 3 years and now that my business has grown, I need more working capital to one up my competitors. I feel so desperate because if I dont get some working captial i am going to loose out on some major opportunities and no longer be ahead of my competitors. Even though my company is doing fine now, it could put me out of business.

My sister and her husband own a very small construction company that is about to go under. I told her since I work in bookkeeping that I can help her organize her company's books and see what I can do to help...the problem is that in three years they've not kept any records whatsoever! I'm overwhelmed and don't know where to start. I'm sure at this point nothing I can do can dig them out of the hole they are in but I want to help.
