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!

If you are truely talented in all three areas, then I would talk about all of them.  If this were me, I would present a presentation on my five year outlook as a perfume bottle designer that paints their own ads and writes their own articles or ads on their product.  You are your own advertisment company.  Good luck.\n\nmissouricop

There are lots of Perfumeries in Grasse, France. Try hooking up with a website there. The one I went to made all the bases for most of the famous brands available.

I work at setting up small businesses, and I need to let you know that what your listed (inventory, wholesales, etc) are not the things you need to do first. \n\nFirst, you need to come up with a business name and open up a business entity. This will tell the government that you're opening a business, make you legal, guarantee that no one else can have your name, and give you an EIN/tax number. \n\nOnce you've done that, go open a bank account under the name of your business. Once of the biggest mistakes small business owners do is to use their personal money to start the business. Open the bank account, get a business credit card, and a business loan. (You will probably need a business plan to qualify for the loan.) \n\nOnce that is all done, find out the specifics of where you'll get your supplies from.

The simplest way to answer this is to see a need and fill it. \nThere are many different kinds of businesses out there \n( Large Corporations, small businesses, Franchises etc.). If you want to start your own, my suggestion is to take a Entrepreneur class at a local community college. It is not necessary but it will give you a good overall view of what may be ahead and answer alot of questions. \n\n1. have an idea on paper, write it all out, think it all the way thru, is it a service or a product? Will you make it yourself? resale? Who is your competition? and so on.\n\n2.Write down who your customers will be and why they will go to you rather than someone else.\n\n3.Do research on the area you think will be good to market in or set up shop. (surveys, cold calling, demographics,etc)\n\n4.If there is someone who is doing what you would like to, call and ask them politely if they would spend an hour or so to help you with your research. Come prepared with a good list of questions and be ready to do most of the listening. (AND MAKE SURE THEY ARE AT LEAST 40 MILES AWAY FROM WHERE YOU ARE THINKING OF LOCATING AS TO NOT COME ACROSS AS THEIR COMPETITION)\n\n5. The most important thing to remember is ** LOCATION **. As it is the second reason businesses fail. (the #1 reason they fail is poor money management)\n\n6. You will need to apply for a business license and place an newspaper ad with a ficticious business name. It is also a good idea to become incorporated, the tax benefits are well worth it.\n\n7. Make sure you weigh the pros and cons of being a business owner and that is it something you really want to do.\n\nAs for the best business is concerned, it should be one you have a passion for.

The 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.

Schroeder\n* The Small Business Owner's Manual: Everything You Need To Know To Start Up And Run Your Business by Joe Kennedy\n* How to Get Rich in the Service Station Business by Edward R.

first, find a salon location to rent out. then you will need to decide how many and what types of beds you want - locate a lotion distributor to offer lotions in your salon for your clients, buy towels and other necessary items, promote your business with an ad or coupon offers in your local papers and flyers, and open. \nGood luck!

That depends on where that business is established. (For example you can make a Business consultation firm in a big city but it will be stupid to do that in a small town with very little or no companies at all).\n\nMoreover, are you referring only to products or services are welcome as well. You can import products or offer services that you are familiar with or passionated about (for example if your hobby is bowling you can open a bowling center in your area, or if you are a haircutter you can start importing a professional hairstyling brand).\n\nThere is no magic solution for anyone to start his/her own business… Each answer just like every business is different according to the needs and wants of one.\n\nYou need to find out what is missing in your region or area and provide it. Try to sell something unique or differentiated if you want to succeed.

Have a product or service that other people want and or need. This is the basics of it.  Now if you have that - you will have a starting point.  Then there comes the way to bring what you have to the public.  This is the part that can be tricky.  \n\nEbay is a good starting place if you trying to sell tangible things and don't have any idea about it yet.  If you already have products that you know will sell well - you should open a website.  Getting good standing in the search engines is a key factor.  This can take time.  Plus just the fact that noone knows about you can make it take a year or two before you really get off the ground.  \n\nPatience - you must have it - Here are some really good articles about small businesses (not just online) it is very valuable info - I read all the articles and found them to be helpful.
