I want to start my own business. I am young (20), but I know that working for a company doesn't make me very happy. I would love to start a small movie theater, as I have been a manager at a large theatre chain for a few years, but they take a lot of money to get going. I would like to start a business that involves customer service. I don't want to sell a specific item, I just want to provide a service to people (resturant, bar, movie theatre), but don't have the capitol, I don't really have investors, and I have little credit.
