Try the Small Business Administration in Florida.  You can apply for a start up loan on there and it gives you all the info you need as to how to get started.  You can also try Grants.gov. You have the United States right in the palm of your hand being a female minority.  Good luck

Go on the internet and look up all the local and federal small business grants.\nFor example, you can get a grants for opening a business if you are a woman.  If can a grant from the government for opening a business in a low to medium income neighborhood.  So much to list.  Look up business grants.

If your business will be in U.S., you should check out the Small Business Administration web site at http://www.sba.gov/starting_business/index.html.  They have a great deal of important information about all aspects of business start-up, from financing, legal, marketing and licensing.  There are also links to grant information for starting and operating Women and/or Minority-owned businesses.

most communities have agencies that will help would-be small business owners write business plans. (i think for free. it helps even more if you or your business partner qualify as a minority or are female, because there are often agencies designed to help them too.) call your chamber of commerce, or a local university or community college. (the business department, of course.) or any local government agency specializing in economic development.

There are several women in my church who are in business for themselves cleaning homes and offices.  Their best advertisement is word of mouth.  I have not used their services, mainly because I don't know what they cost.  I don't like haggling or even rejecting people because their fees are too high, but it's something I definitely would like to take advantage of.  Perhaps you can offer some 'first time customer' and referral specials.  Because the person will be coming into my home, I wouldn't hire someone without a personal recommendation from someone I trust.\n\nAnd for the record, I strongly recommend NOT putting flyers on people's cars.  First of all, there are local laws that sometimes prohibit that (I know - I campaigned for one in my town).  Secondly, I get VERY annoyed when someone takes the liberty of touching my car.  That is a surefire way  to get me riled up enough to not only NOT use the services being advertised, but to make sure all my friends know how inconsiderate the business is as well.  My car is one of the prizes I've worked hard for - don't mess with it!

By your username I am going to assume that you are or want to be a model. This may be something that you want to incorporate into a business. As I have leaned over the last few years, if your business isn't something you are passionate about then you will not hang in there. I know nothing about the modeling business myself, but take a look at Tyra Banks. She has an empire now and she build it on helping OTHER women acheive their dreams. You could start an online modeling agency where you have chat rooms for models to interact, and a featured model on the home page every week. you can contact other business owners (small and large or internet businesses, looking for models but can't afford to go the FORD agency to get one) and "book" the girls and get a percentage and they get exposure and another page in their books. OR you can simply start an informational website for aspiring models to come and check out, post their photos, get and give advice, then have businesses like photography studios and hair salons and boutiques advertise on your site and charge them.\n\nGood Luck

Have you thought of becoming a Virtual Assistant and going into business doing this for yourself?  That is what I have done and it has worked out great!  You get to do what you love and help others run successful businesses as well. What could be better?

I'm about to embark on that at the moment. I have 4 children and they are all at school now. I am currently studying at college for my business administration certificate 3 and then I can do more courses as I see fit to build my skills. I have worked and owned my own business before but had a break to raise the kids. I am hoping to get a job in 2007. Good Luck and happy juggling work and home.

Like any other businesses, I suggest you:\n\n1. Do your research re the potential demand for your product - what convinced you that your new concept fulfills a need, and how many do you think will actually need the product?\n2. Prepare your business plan - this can help you think through every aspect of the business from knowing what your goals are to marketing plans to whether you can have the cashflow to actually bring this business to success. You may also want to finalize your possible business partners, if any\n3. Set up your business structure, whether you will start out as a sole proprietor, LLC or corporation. \n4. Operational setup - from your location (if any), logos, insurance, website, business cards, etc.\n\nWhile you are in the midst of starting your business, I strongly recommend that you check out the South Carolina Women's Business Center. The WBC aims to specifically help women entrepreneurs with their endeavors. They offer a wide range of services that are designed to help women entrepreneurs like you, from strategic planning to education/training, health insurance, regulatory assistance. More importantly, they can help you network and meet other business owners that may be able to mentor you or help you in some aspects of your business.\n\nYou may also want to check out the following resources:\n\n- Tax Guide from South Carolina Department of Revenue  http://www.sctax.org/Publications/startbusns.htm\n- SC Department of Commerce http://www.sccommerce.com/teamscpdfs/StartABusiness.pdf\n- SC Business One Stop http://www.scbos.com/default.htm\nGood luck\nIsabel Isidro\nFor information on starting a business, visit http://www.powerhomebiz.com \n\nhttp://www.scwbc.org/
