Ok guys. This is really the first time I have actually written down my plans.

I know the formula (process) to a product that is absolutely dominant in its market.

The product is a headlight restoration kit. I am looking to keep it a "trade secret".

Although their are patented headlight restoration processes, I don't think this process infringes on any patents.

I have added up all of my money, and all I really have right now is about 1.1K :blush:
Keep in mind that I'm only 18 : ) Ok, no more excuses.

--My basic goal is to start my own company and warehouse that will produce my product, and then sell bulk individual kits to a larger company.

One problem with this is I don't know where to start. Do I just call up a store like Autozone and ask to meet with a representative? I really hope you guys have advice, because I have 6 days free and want to tear the fast lane up!!! :fastlane:




- I now need to throw a demo kit together and demonstrate how it works to potential business partners.

- I need to find potential business partners. I guess I'll start with cold calls and e-mails.

With the limited money I have, I only really have enough money to travel to a few big company headquarters.


Also, with my limited money I can't produce an individual sample kit that is already packaged to show them what the final product would look like. Do I need to do this?

Also, I have savings bonds and other assets I could access that would give me around 1.5K if ABSOLUTELY necessary.

Do I need to get a business license before I start trying to get potential business partners?

Also, I'm thinking if I do get a contract with a company, I will try to work a deal with them to front me some of the money.

Sorry, I have a hard time organizing my thoughts.

Any advise/questions/answers are greatly encouraged!!!!
