Is starting a business considered greedy?

I'd say that's a great idea. God gave you a talent to use. Don't hide it, use it. That's being a good steward with Gods property. You have a chance to help those in need. Go for it. Give God the credit, and He will bless your business and help it grow.

It's the cost to start up a business before any money starts coming in.

Absolutely none, as I am too lazy to start a business. I can think up all sort of ways to make $$$, but never want to follow-through. Good luck!

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!

Unless you register your business, it's called self-proprietorship. Don't forget to do your taxes.

i actually have thught of doing this myself but everyone i have talked to that was not working for them always gave me negative feedback...and they want to much money even to get started with it.. if i had all that money i would not be trying to get started in it in the first place...i just by what i have asked around about would leave it alone just as i have decided to do... and you get so many calls from so many of them even when you sound like you are the least bit interested...they can really talk to...

You need to own your business, if some one else does it that is there plan. a plan is just that a plan. by asking such a question you may want to reconsider if a business is for you? A business will reflect what you are, if you are a slacker so will you business be, same a disorganized, afraid to step out, etc, also when your business stop growing it relay means that you have stopped growing. owning a business will show you what you are really made of, there most likely is no better mirror to show what you are made of..\ntrust me i can tell a person by there business and looking at there business i can tell what kind of person they are. I do not mean to sound harsh but it is true.

Either as long as you can trust your partner and you draw up contracts if entering into a partnership.  May also be worth considering setting up a limited company as you can do this with a small business, and at least then you will not be personally liable if things do not go according to plan with your business idea.  Good Luck!

Definitely yes to the question of a contract between you. A contract should always be drawn up when forming a business partnership anyway. If your fiance is a reasonable person he will see the logic of such an arrangement.\n\nIn any event, I don't see why you shouldn't start up a business if you think it is an intelligent thing to do, given factors such as your experience, drive, financial backing, etc. Don't start a business just for the sake of starting one up. Make sure you have the drive and expertise to make it a go, and don't be surprised if the money doesn't start rolling in right away. More often than not, it takes a lot of time to make it a go.\n\nI wish you both well in your future lives!

No. That's a business and every business has to have its profits. but, why do you have to go that far? Me, personally dont believe in that, that's trash for me. Hey why dont you buy something nice to that person instead of feeding those liers... :)

Yes you can make a lot of money if you are working for a large organisation, with a good brand name, if not then no.\nHuman resource business is same as any other business..sometime peak and sometime low..depends on the demand and supply of labour...

It is and there have been some arrests recently. The reason companies hire illegals is that they can pay them little and remain competitive. If we are serious about stopping this, then we must be willing to pay higher prices for the goods they help produce. If the companies have to pay decent wages and benefits, it WILL raise prices to the consumers. So, instead of calling these companies greedy, we need to decide just how greedy are we? Greedy enough to look the other way so we can pay low prices?

I don't believe their is. Competition might be great for your business though. If your prices are lower and quality better it might help. Get some good advertising and business will come to you.

although its anoying, you would most definetly do it yourself if you were trying to attract new customers to your business, at the end of the day most people will only buy if the deal is really good or they are currently after that particular product or service at the time of the call or e-mail, so for 90% of people contacted the answer will probably be no or please call back another day so its probably not ethical for them anyway.

Well, - first would be to clean up your English.. I think you might want to "propose" a business idea.. You know, good ideas are great - - we all have many.. however, putting them into practice is another thing - thus the expression 1% inspiration 99% perspiration.. Best advice is do some paperwork and investigation first - How much are drinks like yours selling for? How much will you have to pay in rent and for employees? How many drinks a day will you have to sell just to equal your expenses? Add at least another 15% for miscelaaneous expenses that you never considered. Do the math - if it works out really really well, then you might want to show your math to a business person - rather than just another idea.. ok?

i would say yes - of course that depends on what the nature of the business is. \nIf you wanted to open a first class restaurant and needed premises fitting out with kitchens etc, or a factory with heavy plant machinery needed to run the business then you might struggle! however, i have a services based business and work from home, it cost me around  £1k to get up and running and i have just passed my first year and am here to tell the tale.\nas long as you do the financial planning you need and feel you could do it for £10k then go for it! it could be the best thing you ever do.
