Other than the straight forward laws that are enforced while using the internet, some businesses impose their own rules. \n\nAssuming you've signed a contract, you're generally signed into keeping to their computer rules also. Sounds mad, but they could fire you simply for looking at a website you shouldn't - It's in your contract.

I would say have a contract set up between you and the banks for them to pay to have their name and information on your page. Then if they should be able to help the person and gain business from them, then you could also state an additional percentage for giving them sure business.

You will need a number of licenses notably a public health license and preferably a liquor license as well. If you are customer with a bank and you have a good relationship with them, you would best off approaching them first. You might also want to read about setting up a business and writing a business plan. Finally, you might want to recruit key staff msot notably a chef if you are not planning to cook yourself. For advice relevant to your area, you might want to speak with your local chamber of commerce as well as your local business advice bureau. If you are a franchisee, the franchiser should provide you with advice about setting up your restaurant.

That depends on the products you're going to sell, and how.\n\nSome credit card processors, some affiliate programs, and some other online services you may wish to use, may require an address in the USA.\n\nBut from a technical standpoint, no, you don't need one.

Hi.\n\nWhen starting an online business there are many things to consider. Do you have a product you would like to sell or are you planning on selling an existing product as an affiliate marketer? Do you have a budget or will you be raising capital later? You will nedd to spend money in order to make money. Are you someone who would like to spend a lot of time at home or do you prefer the commute. Some people really do, I know it sounds nuts but they do. These are all things you will need to ask and answer as you begin. Plenty of people are making money online, working at home, running an online business. So you probably can as well. But be careful!!

You only register your business in your country of residence where the actual business activities take place. Web is global, and there is no requirement for any merchant to register their business in every place that they are able to get visitors. You only register where you pay your taxes. \n\nSo don't worry on this aspect. I've been doing business on the Web since the late 1990s and I never have to register in other countries.

it depend on what country you are from and what type if company you are doing\n\nlet's say i am from Singapore,\n\ni will contact the Business Authority to get register for a license so that i can get a commericial license to sell things.\n\nif it's a web company, dun bother, just setup one and too register one commerical licence if you want to expand and provide service.\n\nif it's a porn company. whaha. that'a quite alot of regulation to ahere.

There are so many things you have to consider: location, rent, employees, taxes, permits, filing of business papers, utilities, store fixtures, accountant and/or employee payroll system, suppliers, bank account, loans, insurance, possibly an attorney, knowledge of state labor laws, payment of state unemployment/disability for employees, computer system for ordering, a plan for shipments, etc.  I think you should talk to a business owner in person to ask questions, if possible.  If not, go to www.sba.gov - they have a Small Business Startup Guide.  This should be a good starting point.

Will you be selling online or will you be selling from a shop? \nDo you need a list of wholesale suppliers or will you be selling your own stuff? You need to be a bit more specific. Good luck.

There is no rule of thumb for this because it depends so much on the type of business you are looking at,its situation & how you want to launch it.Will you buy or rent a property or work from home?What equipment do you need & can it be bought in good condition 2nd-hand & thus save money?Why lawyers' fees?Does the type of business need a lawyer's input at this stage?What about accountants?They can be more useful in advising on the type of business to start with i.e sole trader/partnership/limited company?How to keep simple records,VAt registration,PAYE if you expect to have employees etc.I would advise finding a properly qualified accountant in a small practice.Their fees are usually less & you should get better treatment.the big firms are both horribly expensive & rather stuck-up.(Sorry,but I know a lot about this particular subject!)\n\n\n Why not do research via trade organisations etc & thus save \nhiring market reseachers?

1 A Website- You will need a website of your own to start your e-business. You can either get a free website from hosts like Yahoo Geocites, Doteasy, or Bravenet, or "Paid domain name and Webhosting". There're Web Hosting plans that cost as little as $2.95 per month. That's less than one-tenth of your phone bill, so you should consider it.\n\n2 Get an Idea- What is your site going to be about? You can make you site be about anything you want. It's your Website.\n\n3 Creating a Website- A website can be as little as one page, as long as it makes sense. And the fact is that a one-page website can generate you as much as $2,000 per day. You shouldn’t really stress yourself in that area.\n\n4 Website Promotion: Here is the part most people forget to do. Of course you have to let people know about your website. Tell your friends, send some emails, and talk about it in forums. These are the simple ways you can promote your site. Also you might try submitting to search engines like google and yahoo. \n\nHere's a way you can earn extra cash from your site - Register For Google Adsense- Signing up for Google is Free, as long as you have established a website. After you sign up, all you do is paste Google ads (which will be provided for you by Google) on your site. Google pays you every time someone clicks on their ads from your site. You're not required to make any sales or signups before getting paid. Some keywords bid as much as $30.00 per click. Imagine when you get those ads on your site, you will be generating Thousands of Dollars.
