There are entire books written on this topic.
I’ll give you what I think is the quickest and easiest way: If this is a privately-held company, then create a business plan, preferably accompanied by a private placement memorandum. Then network. A lot. Talk to your lawyers, accountants, and other members of your business community who have clients and relationships with “angel investors” – i.e. wealthy individuals who like to invest in private equity deals.
Angel investors are often the best source of start-up capital because the money is usually readily accessible, and unfettered by the overbearing rules and restrictions that often come with investments from venture capital firms.

I want to start a home maintenance company. Don’t have much money to advertise. Can I go door to door and ask home owner or renters if the need anything repaired around the house. I’m in Texas, so I’ve been told that I don’t need a license to do home repairs. But do I need permits and insurance? If anybody could give me additional information that would help me on my future business, would be gratefully appreciated.
Answer by knowitall
A permit and a license are basically the same. Insurance is not required, but may keep you from getting some jobs. I would never hire someone coming to my door since the crime rate has increased so I will not let anyone in that I have not called to come. A card or flyer on ( not in) the mailbox is safer for all. You need to be on some websites for local work though since that is how most people find help now. Once you get a few hobs, word of mouth will be your best advertising. Be sure you have a sign on your truck with your name, what you do ( Handy Man ) and a phone number.

I want to show a payment from business checking to my business credit card – should it be a transfer of funds?
Answer by Brock
Well whenever you made a purchase on the credit card you should debit the appropriate account for which the purchase was made, and credit accounts payable, which is a liability account as the money will need to be paid back to the credit card company. Even set up a an account called “Accounts Payable – Credit Card” to see exact what’s going on the card.
Then when you make the payment with a checking account, which is equivalent to cash, you would debit accounts payable – credit card, and credit your cash account. For example:
You buy 0 worth of Inventory
Dr Inventory 100
Cr Accounts payable – credit card
Then, you pay for phone bill for last month
Dr Utilities expense 50
Cr Accounts payable – credit card 50
Now it’s the end of the month an you write and mail a cheque to your credit card company for the full amount owing
Cr Accounts payable – credit card 150
Dr Cash 150
That’s it. In order to stay in compliance with GAAP or IFRS, unless the purchase is immaterial, you need to make sure every time you make a purchase on the card it is put into the right account, not just some account like “Credit card purchases”.

On a limited budget, share the free and low cost tools that are most effective for growing a home based business, an online business, or a small business.
This question is not a solicitation for your home based businesses. It is a question about marketing tools and strategies that people WITH businesses can use to build their businesses.

Picture this scenario: As a future stategy for an airline company, they decide to invest in technology, say the installation of Tv units (or anything thing u can think about) in the back of every seats, or a joint venture with a more famous airline say Singapore airlines, where both airlines could work with each other and develop new technologies, new machinery, better service? Would those new strategy make sense in the external competitive environment? (i.e. what customers require, what competitors are doing, trends in the business environment)
Answer by Kelley S
I think so because I have spoken with many people who only fly on JetBlue airplanes for the exact reasons that you speak of; multimedia systems that keep them entertained over the course of long, boring flights. Sure, it costs an airline money to do this but when you consider the fact that some passengers will fly with your airline exclusively for the reason that you offer such systems, then it becomes a good investment. You really wouldn’t be developing this technology with an airline, such as Singapore, because there are many different components manufacturers and suppliers that can already provide your airline with such technology. In other words, there are other companies that you can buy this stuff from, off the shelf, for each of your passenger seats. None of that is new technology, and these are standard options from both Boeing, Airbus, various aircraft interior refurbishers, corporate aircraft manufacturers, etc.
