I live in California and am a Brazilian citizen. The owner of a mid-sized beer factory in Brazil is willing to export to the US and I would like to facilitate this processs. How should I do to make money of this? Any ideas?\n\nIf your advice is to become the importer, how hard is it? What are the steps I should take? \n\nIf staying between the factory and the importer is your suggeston, how should I do it? \n\nAny other suggestions are welcome.\n\nThanks

alot! its not just the opening, it can take years to get established, especially when there are so many great Spanish bars, can you speak Spanish? how are you going to get suppliers that do not rip you off if you don't! its a great idea but just be careful, I've seen countless people loose all there hard earned savings in this country, and countless ruthless people try to relive you of it.

First I'd file the LLC in Nevada. Look on the net for corporations start up. They will walk you through. You can get a kit that will explain. Marketing business is safe and your LLC is just a legal thing and show growth. You can and will get preprinted by laws for the state you area LLC. I live in Va. and I'm a corporation in Delaware. We make candy. I"m foreign company to Va. Cost me $45.00 verse $1000.00. If you're good at marketing why are you waiting for Aug. Your start up will be with your funds. It's best to get first funds from friends & family you can trust.  never ask anyone that can't replace the money themselves.( Retired) Best J. kelly

I would say: Get on the internet and find UK sources of the type of business you want to deal with. Email them directly with your resume. I would make sure you have long distance to call them. I would also make sure you know the cost for a minute of conversation to the UK....IT is very very expensive. I know for I have been there several times. Make sure you write everything down, internet websites that you have gone too and make sure that you have your "selling hat" on. A positive attitude is the key. GOOD LUCK!

Not everything works the same for everybody, you can try but remember they have a 30 day satisfaction guarantee so pay close attention and do not loose your money. They are expensive unless you actually want to become a distributor. But I cannot make any recommendations for anything else in Malaysia because what I use is not there yet.

If your friend is from Brazil, he can't just establish himself in the US without first applying for a proper Visa with Immigration.  If he applies for a Green Card he would be able to get Employment Authorization, a Social Security Number and with that a Drivers License, etc.

I'm not here to sponsor you into any company. I want that to be clear right from the start. You asked for information on MonaVie and Noni.\nI'm not a fan of the "juice wars" started by the juice MLMs out there. I was involved as a distributor in one of them and what I found was that I was promoting something that had no real science behind it, just rumor and miraculous testimonies. Personally I want some hard science out there to back me up when I say something is good. These companies rely on a lot of hype to promote the product and the business.\nAt last count there were at least 20 juice MLM companies and more keep popping up whenever someone comes out and says that they have the next big thing and some new higher antioxidant ratings. \n\nFrankly, I'd do a lot of research into any company before jumping in and working with them. Below in the sources section you'll find a link to a story done recently by a television station in Los Angeles on Noni. You can also check the other site listed and see if there's anything there on them.\n\nLastly I want to touch base on your statement about having someone else sponsor you into whichever business. That is extremely unfair. Your friends are actively building a business and both of them feel that you are someone they want to work with. Unless you feel that you couldn't work with either of them, I feel you owe them the respect of joining with one of them if you choose that either Monavie or Noni is a company you want to work with. This business model is about relationships. Working with people you are friendly with and believe in are as important as having a great product or pay plan. If you don't believe in the companies or choose not to work with them for whatever reason, do the honorable thing and tell your friends the truth and why you feel the way you do. If you choose one of them, then join with your friend.

Not sure what tracks they have in India?  Check out some bike web sites, but the best thing to do is finish what you studying just incase the bike puts a end a future you currently busy in, then take a few trips to London where you can get used to Brands Hatch and Silverstone, if money is not the option move to the U.K. and get into the standard biking class where some of the big sponsers might be able to help. Get the Doctors auto biography and read how he did it, that is why i am sure he stays in the U.K. as all the big guys sponser wise is from there.  Sounds like you really are passionate about it so thats the best way to begin, maybe check out some bike shops in the U.K. and see if you can get a job from them first and work as a pit crew if the shop has one.  Im from South Africa and support Vale too, but from here most of our top riders go to the U.K. live out of trailors and try and get there name into the sport as soon as they can as it becomes for costly but then again as i said if money isnt the option go over and follow what you dream of doing, i think all bike riders like myself would like to be like all the top riders!!!  It takes alot serious hard work but GO 4 IT!!!!

It's a more complex scenario than that. My friend started some years ago, shortly thereafter, I joined. Well he continued and I just let it go, due to family issues, distractions. He's making big bucks now and I'm happy for him. My fault that I quit, nobody elses. I'm re-joining next week. BTW. This friend is now my boss. Yep, he bought the company that I work for, from home. Feel free to email me for details and any other questions. Make sure you leave the name of your state and he will be happy to give you a good referral to the better leadership in your area.

I recently retired from the real estate business in Central Florida after 27 years. For the past two years I have been offering free business mentoring services to young entrepreneurs. I can offer a variety of small business ideas depending on your personal interest and abilities. I will also make myself available for consultations by email or phone. I do not charge for these services.\n\nI must tell you that it is very difficult to get any (legal) business into a positive cash flow position that would be equivalent to your full time job. Most businesses take at least a few months to a year or more to start generating that kind of income. Can you afford to wait?\n\nIf you want to know more, please feel free to write to Bruce at boatclub@go.com . I will you help if I can.

My husband went to Lima, Peru about 15 yrs ago and brought me home some beautiful peices of silver.  They mine silver there and it is extremely reasonable.  Maybe you could try searching the web for some wholesalers out of Peru.  Just a thought.  I didn't understand you to say you were going on-line to sell these, do you have a storefront or what?

you might try attending a trade show in the USA related to your business. Or if you want to distribute directly to american consumers, advertising in media related to your product/service, or perhaps attending a conference or convention related to your product/service.\n\nYou gotta get your name out there!

Good Morning Neil:\n\nI'm sorry about your girl friend.\nFirst , you cannot just move and live in Brazil.\nYou would need a resident visa.\nThis you need to apply at the Brazilian Consulate.\nYou will need to provide letters of invitation and offer of employment from your wife's cousin .\nIf you go in as a tourist , and stay  you will become technically an \nillegal alien\nBoa Sorte

You have to go there.  Either you will get someone who will over charge you, or you will get someone shoddy.  Go to China, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, or Shanghai, once you're there it is not difficult at all, there are number of publications and sources to find producers in China.  Their trade commission may also help you as well as the embassy of your native country.

Sounds like you didn't do all your homework before traveling to China. \n\nWhat do you like to do?  This is your best direction as you would know a little bit about the products.\n\nDon't forget about the duty tax on the items you will be importing and they type of product liability insurance you will need.

I found a company that I am very happy with.  I'm with Stayin Home and Lovin It! and they are the support team that is partnered with a wellness company that is 21 years old and a member of the Better Business Buerau.  They have a lot of products that cover all the basic needs of people and are safer for you and the environment and the prices are reasonable too.  I found many of them to be cheaper than what I was buying before joining this company.  You can do the whole in home party thing if you like but it is not necessary in order to build this business (but I am told ones that do do even better).  You do not do any order taking or delivering of products.  All your customers shop direct and you recieve a commission on everything that person you enroll buys and long as they buy.  They give great support and free tips to succeed and there is no big investment or stocking products.  There is no risk involved in trying to see if it is right for you.  There is so much information, if you are interested in learning more go to http://healthybetterme.com/ and fill in the get more information part.   I hope you find what you are looking for.
