Want to start a business, no $$

O yeah, also look into grants.. The governent awards alot of differnt grants for things.. Their is a book of thousands of grants that anybody is able to apply for for business start ups.

Been looking for grants we qualify for, even bought one of the many books out there, have you looked at them? Not very helpful!
I would think that there are things available for people trying to get out of poverty but can't seem to find any. Know of any?

I want to go into business for myself and I was wondering how I could start without any money. Is this possible. Can someone help me out?

We haven't succeeded yet, but have learned some things that might help, what kind of business are you interested in and how little is NO MONEY?

Actually we are using scrap wood to build incredible tables, but that is okay. The problem with ebay is how little is selling right now. In fact, a day or two ago, I researched dining tables. of the long list of tables for sale, only a couple had any bids at all. One bid was for a solid marbel table that had only a couple of hours left on the bid and was selling for less than $300 that was for solid marbel. Not much else had any bids at all, another table with bids, was selling for $5 that doesn't even cover the cost of a good ebay listing, much less the cost of making the table.

Interesting hobby/craft. One of the most important things in business is to know your customer's wants/needs and how you can best fulfill those needs. I don't know where you live, but is there a potential demand (a market) for what you are making? Have you looked into small independant furniture shops? Maybe you could take a sample piece and have it evaluated for quality/marketability? What about selling your goods at flea markets or community fairs or consignment shops or something along those lines?

Great ideas, we have been thinking along some of those lines but you broadened the lines and clarified some stuff for us, thanks.

Any extra cash flow generated from your wood working should be saved into a seperate account and not used for personal expenses. This should help you save for your business.

My pleasure. Best wishes and may God bless your endeavor!

I recently started an automotive detailing business called "Showroom Shine Detail" out of my home. I didn't have any money to start out with, so an older gentleman that I work with at a local car lot told me he would buy my initial supplies (machines, chemicals, ect.) and I could pay him off over time. If you know someone who might do that, talk to them about it and see if they would like to help you.


PS What business are you going into?
