    Having trouble making my business name unique

    FEEDBACK 
    I feel like you have the perfect name right in front of you. Is your name Hunter? Data Hunter or Data Hunt sound perfect for a data recovery business.

    Am I the only one who has lots of browser tabs opened? Time to optimize the web browsing experience.

    IDEA 
    There are productivity browsers built off of Chrome that do stuff like that. I use wavebox. Has split screen built into the browser, you can group tabs and save those as presets so that you can close or open the entire tab group whenever so you can close out all the unnecessary tabs and go back...

    How to dominate the local map pack

    MARKETING 
    Is there any legitimate ways to rank well in the map pack in a wide service area? I run a towing business and we rank in the top when people are near by our shop, but we service a 50 mile radius around our shop so ranking at all in that wide of an area seems unlikely without opening a bunch of...

    How do you get partnership with brands/businesses when you're not even started yet?

    You absolutely can email them. The size of the company doesn't matter, every company just consists of people. Get in contact with the right person. The bigger the company the easier it is to find out who works for them. Check linkedin for employee names and positions, try to figure out the...

    How do you get partnership with brands/businesses when you're not even started yet?

    It is always about what can you do for the companies that you want to partner with. Frame it with their value in mind. "Companies in America are seeing conversion rates sky rocket 25% by offering installment payments through Quadpay and Klarna, now you can see the same results by partnering...

    Is my brand name so vital?

    IDEA 
    Pick your favorite name that is not already being used in the same space as you, even if the domain is not available and then just add another word to the domain. shop_______.com get________.com ________usa.com Personally I think a name is relatively important, but the domain name is not...

    Looking for Mixed Use Commercial Hard Money Lending help

    Those numbers are gross income. My expenses on the 22k I will do this month will be about 5500, not counting paying myself. Getting a 2nd truck will add about $7800/month in expenses including an employee's pay but should bring an additional 25-30k in revenue once I add some new insurance...

    Looking for Mixed Use Commercial Hard Money Lending help

    My experience is actually in auto repair. I was a mechanic for 7 years prior to starting this towing company. I didn't have any experience towing before starting this business, I just bought the equipment and learned as I went. Practiced on my parents cars. I definitely don't want to get into...

    Looking for Mixed Use Commercial Hard Money Lending help

    Definitely a valid point, my thing is that I don't want to grow my business too much in a way that lacks control. I started a towing company and grew it to $13,000/month via Google ads and then it maxed out there. I signed on with an insurance company 2 weeks ago and they've been giving me...

    SBA could be a good option. I'll look deeper into that to see if it could help

    Looking for Mixed Use Commercial Hard Money Lending help

    I am not into the real estate scene so I don't really know any investors in the area. I do know a coworkers who did cash fix and flips on the side, theres a chance he would know somebody unless he is funding it himself. I will reach out to him and see if that opens any doors.

    Looking for Mixed Use Commercial Hard Money Lending help

    1) Good idea. I'll have my realtor reach out to see if owner financing would be an option. 2) I originally was just looking to lease a property but rent for an auto repair shop in my area is around 5,000 per month for a 1500-2000 sq ft space and they get rented the moment they are posted. I...

    Inspiration VS desperation

    MINDSET 
    That's really what it boils down to. A lack of wisdom in the beginning. I started a gofundme type business, a tshirt business, and a subscription business, and they all failed due to different reasons. Business #1, I built without ever talking to any potential customers, and having no idea how...

    Inspiration VS desperation

    MINDSET 
    My entrepreneurial journey started out of desperation, by hitting rock bottom in many ways. But that business and many after it failed, yet even though the desperation is long gone and that was many years ago, my journey continues on out of big aspirations.
