Does anyone here have their own business?

Does anyone here have their own business?

I don't know what people mean when they say "start a business". The only businesses I can think of are services like landscaping.

Yeah. I started a travel agency a year or so ago. Was finally starting to get some momentum, and then the universe took a giant dump on the travel industry.

If I had the cash for a new startup, I'd be doing spray foam insulation. Very lucrative if you do things right. High cost of maintenance when shit breaks, though.

You would just buy all the equipment you need to do spray foam insulation and start offering it to people? Seems like something you'd need training for or something, I'd have no idea how to do it (applying the insulation I mean)

I rebuild cut up cold war parts kits back into legal semi auto weapons for people. It doesn't make much money but I don't really need money, it's mostly for fun.

Health data analytics consultant.

Covid wrecked my shit. Hospitals being shut down or operating at like 10% of capacity means no one needs me.

Me and my wife make bandannas and leashes for dogs as a side business. It's mainly her business; I just help. It's pretty low entry costs and we've already broken even.

Ok I know for a fact I didn't post this in this thread. Fuck you kuroba

In high school I started a landscaping buisness with a loan for 3500$ from my grandpa as nobody else would trust me.
>first year was mostly spent cutting neighborhood lawns at 40 bucks a pop, paid off my grandpa and bought a truck and enclosed trailer
>my second year I hired a friend to help at 10 bucks an hour, made some shirts and buisness cards, plastered my whole town
>by the third year I had 2 trucks and trailers with 2 additional employees, doing mostly buisnesses and apartment complexes. I also got an arborist certification so I could get clearance from the city to start doing tree removal

Skip a few years and I had bought an old garden center in town with green houses and a store front. Pretty soon I was the only lawn game in town, I bought out the buisness from my 2 leading competition cause they were old. Then I bought a pool company that does installs and maintenence. I've made an absolute killing from real estate developers using me to do all the lawns and pools in the new subdivisions.

my family owns a body shop. ama

How did you find the people who would use your services

What I want to know is how the fuck do you start a business? Like anything that isn't run out of your garage or a van
You'd need millions of dollars. Where do you get that kind of capital? How do you convince anyone to trust you with that kind of money? How do you keep a profit when you're paying the jews back fuckloads in interest

Honest or scammers?

There's a reason the tradies with enough drive and intelligence to run a business make bank

my family ran a small gambling hall in europe.

Tech startup that got a boost from Covid. Waiting on a potential M&A and take out a few million dollars and hire a professional CEO to drive the rest.

Just turned down a fintech opportunity with a $2.4M seed term sheet from a VC. Will probably start an ai company next.

I work for a startup who’s founders got railroaded as fuck by their investors, and we haven’t even started playing with the big boys yet. It’s definitely an issue.

It costs around 60k to start a mushroom farm that produces 20kg a week at $30-40 per kg. Probably need an additional $100-150k if you want to own the land outright and have no debt.

Got any neat ak parts kits?
Website?

I feel like landscaping is the perfect option because of low startup and it's always needed

honest

What kind of ai company

I’ve always wanted to do that.

Yes. Facilitate online teaching, consulting, coaching, and social engagement humanitarian work. Thinking about splitting off a subsidiary into high tech farming

I run startups for a living. What do you want to know?

It’s shitty work, but yea, I’ve known a couple people who’ve been very successful with that.

I'd love to hear some examples of businesses you've set up for inspiration purposes

Started moonlighting while a wagecuck, got to know people, and build a reputation.

I was on track to be a millionaire sooner than later until this shit hit.

This is based. My current project is an edutainment language-learning app. We haven't released a single advertisement and have 2k users just from randoms talking about it.

I'm starting a food truck biz with start up cost around 50K. I assume youre young. Join the service for a a 4 year commitment. Its the tried and true way to climb the socioeconomic ladder. You can save a lot, get free college, and get a lot of real world experience. 4 years will fly by, and in that time your can have your business plan ready to go with starting capital from savings, and access to guaranteed veteran loans.

Only white fags with no imagination go into landscaping

do landscaping summers and snow plow winters

I'm just saying that's like the most basic obvious type of business that comes to mind when people say "start a business"

imagine "serving"

They would for covid if it wasn't a total psyop

I'm not going to dox myself or my team on Zig Forums - I trust that you're asking legitimately but that doesn't change the fact that the glowies are here in force actively destroying white males.

Anons above consistently "muh startup capital." There's a trick to it.

1. Have a partner in a protected class. Call them CEO. A "black female run business" is your best bet post-2020. REMEMBER: investors are virtue-signalling and evading taxes. The money they want to make profit off is all in crypto. Your startup capital is their pocket change. If you're a white male you have to be aware of this fact - you have less than zero virtue-signalling value. Don't do it for ego, do it to build something amazing. (And for god's sake don't just have a 'token' as your partner - there ARE people from every walk of life who are top-tier intelligent and driven.)

2. Be apologetically pushy, and back up your words with methodical presentation. Hit up craigslist or your local university to get help putting together docs if you haven't done it before - finance students can rock a spreadsheet to show projected growth like nobody else, and they'll do it for weed or beer. The size of your ask is the size of your success. Project your confidence and aim for the stars.

3. Document everything. Have a cohesive business plan. Show you give a shit with spellcheck. Make it look good, flow easily, and retard-proof your claims.

4. Get at least $30k from friends and family before you go looking for outside investment. Investors will ONLY look at your shit if they see material contribution from the people close to you. (It implies a solid support network, so if they end up funding your failure they won't feel like assholes when you lose your home or whatever. Show you're smart enough to plan your own future, and aren't going all-in on vapor.)

Yes I have my own business

*unapologetic. Fucking autocorrect ducking my shift...

what's your business user is it a product-based business

that's what I want to do, I don't want to have to perform a service, might as well just wage at that point
