A. you've got it back to front. First you look for a niche in the market that needs to be addressed or you note a shortage of demand. If you are not addressing these keep your money in your pocket. Business opportunities come from hobbies expanded, new technology (e.g. become the Blue Ray expert), niche markets e.g. something a cultural group wants or needs, changes in law create opportunities for experts to emerge, changes in demographics e,g, more children in the area. Look around. Ask people around you. How to start will depend on the idea - some businesses start part time until they get enough customers to move on - some start as web based businesses and others just have to bite the bullet and go bigtime. Whatever you do please do… [cont.]

What kind of business license do I need for an internet business or ebay business?
Q. I am planning a business. I will start out with baskets for new babies and if all goes well I will make the extra investment for wedding baskets, and then so on and forth. By baskets I mean gift baskets. I have researched local business license, but I am not sure if a local business is the right way to go, so I am thinking internet or Ebay. What kind of license do you need for these types of businesses.

A. The requirements vary according to your state. Call the business license office for your county and just ask them if you need a business license to operate an internet store. I live in Georgia, and in my county, you do.

Why is big business considered evil by the left but big government is considered wonderful?
Q. Big business produces a product, creates job and creates wealth. Big government creates large inefficient agencies, gobbles up wealth, creates waste and is corrupt. Big business needs to be watched and when found corrupt the corrupt need to go to jail. Small business is just as corrupt as big business. It just doesn't make the national news. So why is big business demonized by the left but big government loved? Our founding fathers didn't trust government at all so why does the left love it?

How important does the business plan to lenders?
Q. I want to get $20,000 business loan to extend my small business. I have never taken serious to write a business plan for my business, and I don't like play the words or numbers, but my business do have some profit. Would I get a loan if I have no a qualified business plan? Please help.

A. Business plans are VERY important. You definitely have to put a lot of thought and time in constructing one. Put yourself in the lender's situation - if some random guy came up to you with no clear plan, why on earth would you give him $20k? If you are sure that you'll make a or are already making a profit, spell it out for them. Show them how you've flourished and how you expect to grow in the future with this money. Obviously you don't have to know every specific detail going into the distant future, since no one can predict what will happen with your business, but at least develop likely scenarios so you'll be prepared for anything. Good luck!

Is a Business Statistics course the same as a Regular Statistics course?
Q. Hi. Is a business statistics course considered equivalent as a regular statistics course in college? In other words, if a student wants to earn a bachelor's degree in business and the school that he is enrolled in requires him to take a business statistics course, would he meet that requirement if he took a regular math statistics course and not a business statistics course?

A. Depending on the course, statistics (as offered by the math or statistics department) will be purely procedural. They will go into great detail about WHY you perform a procedure a certain way and, generally, will discuss theorums and formulas in detail, sometimes even proving them. There will be little or no practical application and no discussion of experimental methodolgy. On the other hand, in a business stats course the time not wasted on in-depth detail about statistical procedures will be spent on methodology and application.

A. If you own a small business, then you should at some point have had to consult with a CPA and a small business attorney...this should be best handled by your attorney. If you don't have one, try calling around to see if you can get one recommended to you. Someone who handles real estate or retirement issues might be able to help as well. As with anything, if the company doesn't make any money, your 'guaranteed monthly retirement' won't always be there, so some of this rests on the fact that you believe the business will be successful enough under his command.

A. Digital camera market is very competitive, and unless you have a "good head on your shoulders", I would suggest you stay away. On the other hand, if you want to give it a shot, why not. You would first need to find someone to supply you with the cameras (a reliable wholesaler). Start small from there, and do not make any huge investments. Try it out for a while. If it goes well, you can start expanding.

A. You seem to an idea that the owner does nothing and racks in the big bucks. It is true that business owners only have to work half days and they get to pick which 12 hours they work - but I can tell you, your profits will walk out the door unless you participate and understand the business. If a business ran it's self there would be no reason to sell it - the owner would just keep receiving the profits. So look for a business you understand - and one you could actually work at. Otherwise - become a lender - the interest rate is higher but so are the risks. Buy a rental - but be ready for repairs at all hours.

Q. I have my business degree, and money for investing. I am interested in buying a business that doesn't require my presence and that is profitable. What is a good type of business to purchase in the next year in South Florida?

A. You seem to an idea that the owner does nothing and racks in the big bucks. It is true that business owners only have to work half days and they get to pick which 12 hours they work - but I can tell you, your profits will walk out the door unless you participate and understand the business. If a business ran it's self there would be no reason to sell it - the owner would just keep receiving the profits. So look for a business you understand - and one you could actually work at. Otherwise - become a lender - the interest rate is higher but so are the risks. Buy a rental - but be ready for repairs at all hours.

What steps should a business take to claim legal ownership of work completed by contractors on it's behalf?
Q. If a small business hires either independent contractors or another business to perform work for them, what steps should that business take to make sure that the completed product is legally owned by the business and not the entities or individual employed to create that product? Pointing me to resources on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

A. You definitely need an intellectual property agreement before the work commences. My understanding is that, in the absence of this, the contractor would own the rights to the work regardless of your payment for the work. Whether or not that is true, it makes sense to have one to remove all doubt. Search using terms like "contract programmer intellectual property agreement" (even if the work/product you are talking about is not computer code, because this industry uses them a lot).

How can I submit my business to google maps when my business is a service for people in their homes?
Q. Usually when I search for a type of business google has many names and addresses of the businesses immediately and it's included on google maps. But if my business consists of services primarily provided in a customer's home (and I don't have an office yet) can it still be listed? Without an address?

A. There's a new feature in Google Places for businesses that allows you to list a "service area." When you do this you can also exclude your address. Not showing your address seems to lead to lower rankings, so I would definitely add it if you get an office sometime down the line, but this will at least get you listed for now.
