The official website of the state of TN has a guide for filing a non profit organization http://www.tennessee.gov/sos/forms/fg-np.pdf . You can find all the forms for filing non profits here http://www.tennessee.gov/sos/bus_svc/forms.htm#nonprofit\n\nI have found a website that compiles various resources on starting a non profit. I especially like the Minnesota Council of NonProfits because the site gives information on governance, developing strategic alliances, fund raising and other ingredients of successfully running a non profit. \n\nhttp://www.lib.msu.edu/harris23/grants/znpbib.htm\n\nAs for funding your non profit, I suggest you check out Foundation Center to help you gain ideas on how to properly establish your organization and get support from private foundations. They have the most extensive database of private donors, and they publish a magazine that can be very helpful to your new non profit.\n\nhttp://fdncenter.org/getstarted/tutorials/establish/index.html\n\nI was previously involved in the setup of a non profit, and we were able to get a pro-bono lawyer who set up everything for us, including getting the 501c3 tax status. Contact other non profits in your area and check if there are lawyers willing to work for free to get you started. \n\nFor detailed information on how to start a non profit, I suggest you read the following books:\n\n- Starting and Running a Nonprofit Organization -- by Joan M. Hummel\n- Starting and Running a Non-Profit Made Easy by Entrepreneur Press, David H. Bangs\n- Starting & Building A Nonprofit: A Practical Guide by Peri Pakroo

I listed a couple of other handy links as well.\n\nTry reading up on the subject -- check out Amazon, your local bookstore or library. \n\nI also posted some links specific to the state of TN.\n\nHope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Look up construction companies in your area, they usually will start you off at that amount.  If that is not your idea of decent work, then check your classified ads in the paper and I am sure you will find something.

Take one step at a time.\n\nFirst, you need a plan, like starting a business.  You already have a vision of the operations.  You also need to determine the location and the cost of building, renting or buying.  Identify all licenses and qualifications that you will need.  Estimate the number of employees, if any, that will be required and how much they will be paid.  Estimate other expenses and plot them out on a spreadsheet.\n\nThen you need to look into funding.  Inquire into local, state and federal agencies to see if there are any grants available for your type of operation.  Some governmental agencies who are charged with caring for orphans may even be willing to outsource.  Also, look into private funding through foundations.  If a large capital outlay will be required upfront, say to build the home, then you may need financing.\n\nOnce you feel your planning is complete, then you will need an attorney who is familiar with 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations.  You want to make sure that your non-profit corporation will be tax exempt.\n\nAfter your non-profit is incorporated, then you will be ready to raise funds, get financing, buy or rent property, get licensed and start caring for children and animals, while at the same time earning a living doing what you love to do.

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.

There are 2 components to the business you want to start. 1) mobile and 2) dry cleaning.\n\nYou may be able to get started with your day to day car. As business develops though, a van will be necessary.\n\nFor the dry cleaning, you probably don't want to invest in starting one from scratch, so use one that is up and running. My suggestion is finding a local dry cleaner to partner with. Tell them you are starting this business and you need to service a number of clients in the area and what kind of discounts they can offer.\n\nOnce you've determined a price, you can market that price plus a profit to your perspective clients. Take into account, driving time, gas cost, and the dry cleaner's turn around.\n\nYou are basically going to begin this business as the dry cleaner's driver, but once volume picks up and you are sending them lots of business, you will need to renegotiate the cost to make it more profitable for you. \n\nThe hardest part is getting started.\n\nGood luck!

Ask a hotdog vendor, maybe they'll tell you.\nI think you can do big business if you get a permit in a prime location, like downtown in the business/entertainment areas.
