You cannot gaurantee anything without a patent. If you have faith in your idea then you should be confident in paying for the patent.

Gee, maybe you could contact the company you used to do this for and see if they've got a branch close to you.  If not, maybe they could suggest someone for you to contact.

You really would not want to go to CEOs - they have engineers and architects to evaluate ideas.\n\nIn fact, if you really want to take a product idea somewhere, you'll need to prototype it yourself, find yourself an angel investor, get a startup going, get a couple of venture capitalists involved... and then a professional services company, when you are big enough, might help you sell your company at that point.\n\nBut its perspiration, conceptualization, and then realization that are worth something. In the business world, ideas really aren't that significant. Frankly, someone has already likely had them. You have to be the first to do the work...

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 think the most important part of this question is you...\n\nThink of all your interests & ask yourself if any of those could be expanded into a business. Just keep in mind...what's your expertise? What are your interests? What could you imagine yourself doing?\n\nThen, once you have some ideas, research, research, research. Check out the competition -- their business practices, pricing, customer service, etc. And also think about what you could offer to set yourself apart from these other companies.\n\nCheck the sources for some handy sites.\n\nHope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

huh? why are you asking? You seem to have pretty good idea already...but don't spend too much time worrying about what other people think. Do what is right for you.

If it is a really great idea you ned to be careful that someone doesn't rip you off. If you do decide to go with a writer you should check out copyright safeguards first. \n\nOr maybe you should look into doing a creative writing course and trying to make your idea into a short story or even a full novel ... then you can pitch it to a movie maker and make mucho $$$

If you have a well established track record of delivering profits from big business ideas, I'd  say they will take you seriously.  If you don't, you probalby have a snowball's  chance.

Be very leery of the companies on TV that say they will bring your idea to market.  Most of those are scams.  They will steal your idea and give you little to nothing for it.  Have you considered who you would sell the product or service to?  Depending on the product, you can have your product manufactured by a company that does that kind of stuff, then sell the finished product to a retailer.  You would be the "middle-man" but your only work is finding a good manufacturer with the right price and selling the finished product to the retailer once.  (Think of selling it to a Wal-mart.)  You'd take a nice profit off the top.  Have you considered licensing your product to a distributor thus receiving a royalty.  That reduces a lot of headache and minimizes your liability.  It would be their responsibility to manufacture it and sell it.  Those little battery testers on packages were done that way.  Don't put all your hope in a "company" that will magically make you rich.  You are creative, so think of creative ways to get the product to market.

I would patent the idea first and then go to Microsoft so they can't steal it from you.  If they do try and steal it from you and you have a patent then you can sue them, but if they know you have a patent and they like it they can purchase it from you.

You could find out more on this company, probably call the company and enquire about him.

You first need someone to proofread for you.\n\nSecondarily, I would go to someone you know that has a small business / a MBA grad / friend of family to go over the feasibleness of your idea.  There are a lot of great ideas out there, but not all are practical to take to market.\n\nOnce you've been able to find out the practicality of your product/service, write out a business plan.  There are numerous templates on the web.  Do full research, and pull in any partners you may want to help you take this venture.  After that, then you start talking to people about funding your company....\n\nBut don't put the cart in front of the horse.  No one goes up to a bank/angel investor and says "I have this idea.  Give me money now."  It takes a lot of hard work to get to that point.  Take it from someone who knows ;)\n\nBest of luck!
