I've never had to do anything like what you're doing, but if I did, I'd start by contacting all the senior citizen centers/organizations, hospital auxiliaries, banks, garden clubs, business and professional groups, as well as area churches. Many of these organize tours or "caravans" for their members. Ask to be put in contact with the persons responsible for this.

I think a park would be a good place to meet a woman who has a child.  I would also consider a book store, just think of places that a woman is likely to be and may have her kid(s) with her.  If you go to church, they may have a singles or parents without partners Sunday school class.

You should go to a local recreation department of a city/country of where you live or you could try a local YMCA to see if they offer Adult Sport Leagues in your area.

I work in the Franchise Sales dept. at the headquarters in Milford CT. I would say go for opening your own, buying an existing one isn't all that much cheaper, and you can pick your own location/building/setup as well.

Prices can be helpful when you're looking around online for a place to go. Any specials that you have going on would be good to have on there. You should link to a map website that can give customers driving directions, and give ways to contact you.\nmaybe a message board? It could start a community that likes to hang out at your place, and you would also get feedback.

Look in your local directory and call around. It will take you time but it will be time well spent since it will be a big part of your child's life. You don't want to leave your loved ones in unfit care. Once you have found a couple that sound good, make an appointment to go and check out the best ones. Here are some good things to look for when you visit:\n* Look at the building. Is it clean and safe? Are there heaps of resources/toys for the children to play with?\n* What is the play area outside like? Is there room for the kids to run? Is the equipment safe and well maintained?\n* Are the staff friendly and happy?\n* Do the kids currently at the centre appear happy? Are they playing well or running around causing havoc?\n* Do the teachers plan for each child individually? Do they write down observations of what the child is doing and plan activities based on the children's interests and needs?\n* Have a look at the major policies, including child protection, behaviour management, and food preparation/diets (if food provided by centre).\n\nI hope this helps!

look for a local community center, moose lodge, masons lodge, golf clubs.. just call and see if they will rent their halls and cost, rules,etc. You can also try public parks sometimes they have buildings that they will use for public rentals. Check online for wedding venues in your area.

ok, the first thing i would do is to check the local laws on this, as different places have different laws. A place of buiseness should probobly not be your home. I would guess that it is your responsabiliy to assure the girls/men are healthy and clean. the test results for each person should probobly be readily accesable for the customer to see upon request. ... I would assume the owner would handle all the day to day problems, the money/paychecks and paying the bills, pricing and stuff like that. maybe even answering phones and advertising, depending on what your going to do. \n\nalso in some places I know you need a permit or something like that to start a public buiseness. \n\nalot of this would be checking with local laws.\n\nhope all goes well

Pick the city of your choice, contact a local real estate agency for commercial properties, tell them you need a shop sized location  in the suburbs/housing area.\n3 out of 5 ppl have pets, so you can estimate how many potential customers youd be having in that location and you can estimate if you can cover the expenses.
