Hi, I have no experience with this but I've found two sites that may help in starting up your business.\n\nGood luck!

I suggest you read the article "Starting a Home Based Photography Business" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol56/photography.htm  - the article contains ideas on the steps you need to take to start your business, as well as tips on how to market and price your services.\n\nPhoto.net has a more technical article on studio photography http://www.photo.net/learn/studio/primer\n\nI also recommend that you read the following books:\n\n- The Business of Studio Photography by Edward R. Lilley http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1880559668/powerhomebizguid/103-5034565-7700659\n- Photographers Market Guide to Building Your Photography Business by Vik Orenstein http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1582972648/powerhomebizguid/103-5034565-7700659

Start with something you or someone you know already own. \n\nI started a business making leather goods with only $300 investment. I already had most of the tools and supplies but I needed a wider range of leather. My first time selling netted $700 profit and I still had 3/4 of my supplies left. I turned it into a $80G a year business in two years.\n\nOne important factor in creating a business is passion. You have to love what you do.\n\nFrom a cleaning service (everyone has enough supplies to do at least the first house or two..then you reinvest your money to grow), to house painting (more supplies but can be bought at dollar stores for the first house), and the list goes on.\n\nI have built and sold 7 businesses in my life and am on business 8. Don't feel that once you start, thats where your stuck forever. Feel free to learn and grow with life. Get the book "Who moved my cheese" to help you learn how to move through tech changes.\n\nTake a piece of paper and draw a page sized T on it. The right side is cons the left is pros. Write your abilities down on the pro side then pencil in the cons to having a business doing that ability. You will find one or two strengths to work on.\n\nOnce you find what you want to do, find someone who is doing it and ask some questions. You will need to know how long it took to become established. Does the business support them and or their family. Do they like what they do. If not, why.\n\n2 out of three privately owned businesses fail the first year. They tend to work best when you have another job the first year or even two so you can reinvest your money to build the business. Its hard work but worth it if it makes you happy.

You've got a couple of issues here -- let's tackle one at a time.\n\nRE: Retail Sales of the trading cards\n\nThe best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you're interested in.\n\nI recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box.\n\nAssociations may be a good avenue to explore as well. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links. \n\nResearch, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:\n\n* Start and Run a Profitable Retail Business by Jim Dion, Ted Topping\n* Retail Business Kit for Dummies by Rick Segel \n* Specialty Shop Retailing: How to Run Your Own Store Revised by Carol L. Schroeder\n* So You Want To Own The Store: Secrets to Running a Successful Retail Operation by Mort Brown\n\nThere are plenty of free informational resources out there. Check the source box for links to articles.\n\nRE: Copyright\n\nYou would apply for a copyright, not a patent, for any original designs.\n\nCopyrights can be obtained for things of an artistic nature. This includes, of course, poetry, films, sculptures, music, fiction, etc. But can also include things that may not necessarily seem "artistic" in the general sense of the word. Copyrights can also be obtained for advertising copy, games, software programs and blueprints, to name just a few. \n\nYou can do this at the US Copyright Office – see the last 2 links in the source box. The application is fairly simple & the cost is $30 per application (it will likely rise to $45 by July 1).\n\nHope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

I figure you were expecting answers like those above so I waited before answering this one.\n\nBe 18+\n\nKnow for a fact that this will haunt you in some way at some time in your life. Either family, friends or work related.\n\nBe prepared to expect being asked to do things you might not want to.\n\nGet tested for AIDS every month.\n\nGo to the Adult Video story locally and find the Film Industry video producers who are getting awards for their films. Get their mailing addresses and send them the following. A shoulders and head shot. A full frontal shot and a full back shot. All 8x10 and all in color. State your name, age and what you are willing to do. I suggest each shot you should have different hairstyles and accessories.\n\nLastly. Expect to be turned down the first time. But, only go for the high end producers because they follow a stricter protocol for health and wellbeing of their stars.\n\nYou will probably have to apply several times to get interviews. \n\n\nNow that I have said all of that. Know this, it is my opinion that MOST of the porn industry negatively portrays women and the women that allow that are just as guilty as the men involved.\n\nAnyone creating images that imply the female or male in the movies are underage should be arrested along with those producers who actually use underaged victims.\n\nIf you insist on doing this, do so with a moral standard that protects women from further abuse, both age and physical. The mental aspect of this industry is harsh. I have heard it is best that once you enter it, you hang only with those in it to keep your self esteem high. Protect yourself by doing a deep thought analysis of your life before proceeding. \n\nGood luck and Goddess Bless you.

You need to be absolutely sure you're willing to take on the responsibility, as once you start taking paying customers, you're entering into legal arguments that could come back to haunt you if you ever back out of them.\n\nYou also need to be confident you can handle all the financial questions that will arise - such as "Do I need to pay taxes during my first year as a self-employed individual", "What is the difference between running as a company and simply reselling space" and "What will happen if I get sued"\n\nIf, after thinking about all these matters, you are willing to take responsibility for what may be someone else's life's work, responsibility for avoiding hackers who'll try their very best to hijack your system and use it for nefarious ends (make no mistake, you WILL be held responsible), then you can pay a visit to one of the hosting resellers.\n\nTo start small, you can simply sign up for a shared reseller hosting account - http://www.fuitadnet.com/ has a number of examples, although you would be strongly advised to research the level of customer satisfaction with whichever company you look at.\n\nIf you want to get more serious, you can lease whole servers through companies like http://www.ev1servers.net/, where they turn it on and give you an internet connection - the server may or may not come with pre-installed webhosting packages that make it easy for you to just hand out the keys to your customers.\n\nCompanies like EV1 scale up with you, to the point where you may be leasing dozens of servers from them and have your own dedicated rack space within their datacenter - typically, while you'll be limited on bandwidth to the internet, traffic between any machine you lease is not counted.\n\nYou can decide to buy your own equipment instead of leasing it - at that point, you'll probably be looking at "colocating" your equipment with a larger ISP who can provide backup power and multiple internet connections (in case one goes down), but you'll probably want to hunt for a company/location closer to home, as you'll probably be responsible for the hardware yourself and if a reboot is needed, may have to make a personal visit to the servers.\n\nFinally, you can go the whole hog and have your own location and highspeed connection, at which point you answer to noone but your data carrier. To run a serious hosting company at this level becomes extremely expensive, however, as to do things right you need to worry about duplicates of everything, power, connection, fire suppression, etc. You /could/ just hook up a single server to a "lower" speed high-speed business class connection (the Terms of Service of home-class connections usually prohibit hosting servers) but then you're back to all the moral questions that opened this answer.

You need more information than we what we could provide you here. I suggest you read the following books:\n\n- How to Setup and Operate a Successful Nightclub \nby Robert Smith \n- Club Design by daab \n- Start Your Own Bar and Tavern (Entrepreneur Magazine's Start Ups) by Entrepreneur Press \nDeveloping Retail Entertainment Destinations \n- Entertainment Destinations: Cinemas/ Center/ Casinos/ Clubs/ Cruise \n- Successful Beverage Management \n- Upstart Guide Owning & Managing Bar or Tavern \n\nYou can start by reading the article "How to Start a Nightclub Business" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol141/nightclub.htm - the article has some information on startup requirements, key elements, marketing tips, startup costs and other information\n\nI suggest you start out by preparing a business plan to help you learn more about what you really want for your club, your market, your location, resources you need and to plan how you are going to market your business. Bplans.com has a sample business plan for free for a nightclub business:\nhttp://www.bplan.com/spv/3189/index.cfm?affiliate=sba\n\nAs for having a partner, it is important that you have a Buy-Sell Agreement. A buy-sell agreement is a binding contract between the partners that defines: 1) What events will trigger a buyout, 2) the price that is to be paid for the disassociating partner's interest in the business, and 3) who can buy the dis-associating partner's interest (e.g. outsiders vs. other partners in the business). \n\nIn the absence of a buy-sell agreement, state laws regarding partnerships will apply--and this could have a negative outcome for you. The departure of a partner, for example, might result in an automatic dissolution of the partnership and forced distribution of assets and profits. If a partner dies, becomes incapacitated or gets divorced, you might unwillingly inherit the partner's spouse (or ex-spouse) as your new partner in the business. Likewise, if a partner decides to sell his interest to an outsider, you could end up having to share your business with a stranger.

Forming a limited liability company (LLC) is easy. Here are the steps you need to take to make your LLC a legal reality.\n\n1.Choose an available business name that complies with your state's LLC rules. \n2. File formal paperwork, usually called articles of organization, and pay the filing fee (ranging from $40 to $900, depending on the state). \n3. Create an LLC operating agreement, which sets out the rights and responsibilities of the LLC members. \n4. Publish a notice of your intent to form an LLC (required in only a few states). \n5. Obtain licenses and permits that may be required for your business. \n\nChoosing a Name for Your LLC\n---------------------------------------\nThe name of your LLC must comply with the rules of your state's LLC division. (Typically, this office is combined with the corporations division, and is part of the department or secretary of state's office.) While requirements differ from state to state, generally:\n\n---the name cannot be the same as the name of another LLC on file with the LLC office \n---the name must end with an LLC designator, such as "Limited Liability Company" or "Limited Company," or an abbreviation of one of these phrases (such as "LLC," "L.L.C.," or "Ltd. Liability Co.")\n---the name cannot include certain words prohibited by the state, such as Bank, Insurance, Corporation or City (states differ widely on prohibited terms). \n\nYour state's LLC office can tell you how to check if your proposed name is available for your use. Often, for a small fee, you can reserve your LLC name for a short period of time until you file your articles of organization.\n\nBesides following your state's LLC naming rules, you must make sure your name won't violate another company's trademark.\n\nOnce you've found a legal and available name, you don't usually need to register it with your state. When you file your articles of organization, your business name will be automatically registered.\n\nFiling Articles of Organization\n-----------------------------------------\nAfter settling on a name, you must prepare and file "articles of organization" with your state's LLC filing office. While most states use the term "articles of organization" to refer to the basic document creating an LLC, some states (including Delaware, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and Washington) use the term "certificate of formation." Two other states (Massachusetts and Pennsylvania) call the document a "certificate of organization."\n\nFiling Fees:\nOne disadvantage of forming an LLC instead of a partnership or a sole proprietorship is that you'll have to pay a filing fee when you submit your articles of organization. In most states, the fees are modest -- typically around $100. In a few others, they take a bigger bite: consider California ($70, plus an $800 annual tax), Illinois ($500), and Massachusetts ($500).\n\nRequired Information:\nArticles of organization are short, simple documents. In fact, you can usually prepare your own in just a few minutes by filling in the blanks and checking the boxes on a form provided by your state's filing office. Typically, you must provide only your LLC's name, its address, and sometimes the names of all of the owners -- called members. Generally, all of the LLC owners may prepare and sign the articles, or they can appoint just one person to do so.\n\nRegistered Agent:\nYou will probably also be required to list the name and address of a person -- usually one of the LLC members -- who will act as your LLC's "registered agent," or "agent for service of process." Your agent is the person who will receive legal papers in any future lawsuit involving your LLC.\n\nCreating an LLC Operating Agreement\n----------------------------------------\nEven though operating agreements need not be filed with the LLC filing office and

as a subscriber or as an owner?\n\nIf as a subscriber, probably not, the ROI is pretty poor on that.\n\nIf as a owner, and you don't have any philosophical or moral objections to doing it, agree to abide by the law and not allow kiddy porn, sure why not. Sex sells, so there is always a market.

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
