How to get a business grant in Georgia?
I want to open my own childcare learning center in Georgia. It is very confusing trying to find grants so any help I would appreciate it.
Answer:
Go to http://grants.gov/ and follow the instructions. You will find that unless you are a nonprofit, in basic research or daycare, there are no grants for a small business. Some cities offer grants to small businesses if they will locate in the downtown area or want to upgrade their store front, for the purposes of building up downtown traffic. Check with your City Hall for details. Private foundations offer grants. You can get a list of most US Foundations and private grant sources at http://www.foundations.org/
How to make a variable Ebay listing for a custom built gaming computer?
Hey guys I'm building a computer but I'd like to add a couple options for a buyer for things like the graphics card, ram, etc. How can I do this? I know you can make variable listings on Ebay but electronics and computing is excluded...is it impossible?
Answer:
Cant remember if you can do MVL (multi variation listing) without having a shop.
Having said that your custom built computer parts is not what MVL are supposed to be about.
They are for things like t-shirts in different colours/sizes, dvds (just different titles) balls of wool in different colous.
Things that are alike and similar and usually the same prices (though can be different prices)
For instance one cant list all the furniture from every room in a dolls house just because they all belong to the same doll house. Massively differing items in different media and pricing dosent work.

Getting a job would be best but it will take up too much of my time :/
Answer:
Successful people become successful because they are prepared to work tirelessly to achieve their goal, and that goal is their absolute priority. At the moment, your business isn't important enough to you to do that, so you are setting yourself up for failure.
Perhaps the realistic answer is that you need to concentrate on your studies until you've finished your A-levels, and then really work hard on your business, either taking a gap year before university or just deciding NOT to go to university. Either way, your priority is ensuring that you get the exam grades to give you the luxury of choice.
How to i get a group of people together online to start a business?
I am an entrepreneur and i am looking for people with like minds to join me change the world. Not sure how to do go about it. I need to get together a right team of people
Answer:
Doing business with a " group of people" is a challenging proposition, because it is difficult to know who are " like minded" until after several months and sometime even a couple of years because people do not really say what they have in mind. Once you do find the group of people, you still need to sit down and understand each person's strengths and weaknesses before proceeding further and putting your money into it. So first have the followoing:
Business Plan
Who will do the marketing
Sales
CEO
Team work
Board
Cash
Financeability
Control
Technology
Product?
Manufacturing? (If not what other activity)

How to start an online business that ships goods from overseas to US?

From where should I start?
Do I need to hire a lawyer beside the business planner regarding the regulations?
Answer:
Of all the manufacturers in the United States, only a small percentage distribute goods outside of North America. The goods that do find foreign markets are exports. On the other hand, anything that is manufactured outside the country and brought in for sale, is imported.
Although it seems obvious that all manufacturers would want a worldwide market, it is not easy for a company that is limited in its scope and abilities. That's where you come in.
An import/export agent is a matchmaker. Manufacturers of domestic goods seek foreign distribution; foreign manufacturers want a United States market. You need to find them, make a solid connection, and establish a business relationship with these companies.
The agent's commission is generally about ten percent. Now, think of ten percent of $500,000 or ten percent of a million. Although that may seem like a large order, it wouldn't be, if you're talking about machinery, raw materials, or computers.
The market is unlimited and there are hundreds of manufacturers looking for foreign distribution. Sporting goods, clocks, electronic games, radios, housewares, garments, tools - anything can be readily imported or exported if there is a consumer demand and if you can get the products.
The United States Government encourages exports. Indeed, it is those sales that keep our balance of payments with the vast amounts of goods that are imported. And you'll find government agencies helpful in establishing your business.
