    Who has a tangible product?

    They will be. I haven't created a company name yet. I should have samples in about 20 days. These are the suitcase style inverter generators like the Honda EU2000 My other business is G & E Electric

    Who has a tangible product?

    Yikes! That's pretty lean. I'm in the process of importing some generators and am planning a 15-20% margin on the retail side...

    Any Famous People on the Forums?

    It took some time for me to learn that typically, the people who really should be "famous" are the people we know and work with that are generally off of the radar and those that are famous in a more traditional sense are often posers with little to offer.

    Fire!!!

    OFF-TOPIC 
    When I was in flight school I REALLY wanted to fly fire tankers. Where else can you fly a four engine DC6 or C130 close to the ground and drop thousands of pounds of water?

    Tolduso- Thanks! I hadn't even thought about the Gulf Coast but that would be an excellent market.

    Naming a product

    Thanks for the great suggestions. EastWind- most of the big name brands don't have a model line specific name, just a manufacturer name like Honda, Yamaha, Generac.

    Naming a product

    I've located a line of small portable generators that I'm planning to import. I've got all of my based covered, I've located a freight forwarder/customs agent who deals with another customer who deals in the same sort of product that has reported very good sales results and have had the...

    Other people's money

    How would I go about structuring a business purchase using other people's money and keeping myself isolated financially in case of a problem? (i.e. no personal guarantees) I bought an electrical contractor a year and a half ago which depleted my excess cash and with the economy I'm reluctant to...

    Importing from China

    SOURCING 
    terencechang- You mentioned that there is room for negotiation on price in China. Can the same be said for the sellers on alibaba and globalsources? Typically, how does shipping price compare to domestic shipping? I once got a quote on a generator and the shipping for a sample exceeded the...

    Need Help - Car rental

    I'll second the need for a very nice professional office to appeal to the type of customer you want to attract that won't destroy your cars. You might also look into something that is common in the aviation world- a private leaseback. The way leasebacks work is an owner or owner group makes...

    Real estate is the way to build wealth--Isn't it?

    I would agree that there are multiple ways to make money with real estate being one of them. As MJ mentioned, it can be fairly slow and like anything, profits are based on volume. Generally, Internet and brick and mortar businesses have a greater ROI. I ran across this article about real...

    Pizza Anyone?

    I agree with price point pizzas. When I was in high school there was a place in town with $3.99 peperoni and $4.99 Canadian bacon pizzas and they were always extremely busy. They also had higher end pizzas, burgers, and beer/wine which I would imagine was where their real profits were. If you...

    How to Save Money on Painting

    Always be sure to get references and look at prior work of any contractor unless you have some good references from people you trust. There is some really crappy work out there. My dad once hired a painter that he didn't know for an interior paint project on an out of town rush job and the...

    What business courses have you taken?

    As others have said, business law and accounting are both good. I've found that the classes that are worth the time and don't fill my mind with information that evaporates soon after the class is finished are the classes taught by real, no bs experts in their fields (not the "guru" type) In...

    Need UR help - What do we do?

    HOT! 
    Be sure to use an asset purchase rather than a stock purchase as the asset purchase essentially dissolves the business and establishes a new business in your name at closing. Any liability incurred under the previous owner is his, not yours and this type of business has potential for a lot of...
