Business Starting Grants

Are there any tips that would help a teen startup business?

I am a teen who wants to enter the marketing field. I am currently in the process of creating a small business (not technically a business because I cannot sign for my name registration) which deals with print advertising (posters, newspaper ads, letterheads, etc.) I was wondering if anyone had any resources such as places to obtain start up, get advice, any official documents that would still need to be filled out by a teen business. Much obliged, ~Spyrofirestorm

1. You can incorporate, and have your company President and Corporate Secretary sign documents for you. You can do great with advertising posters.
2. You should start outsourcing e-commerce business.
3. if your 18 or older, this could help you, it has all the training you would need. My wife and I both have a home based business, that we do part time and make any where from $800 to $1500 a month just working part time from home. Our goal is for my wife to stay home with the children our two girls ages 3 and 16. Right now it's part time, but eventually it will be full time for the wife so she can do the business and stay home with the kids. The company has been in business for over 27 years, does business in 64 countries around the world, did over 3 billion $ in sales sales last year just from people working from home, and is traded on the New York Stock Exchange. We got started here at http://www.herbalhomebiz.com Take a look, we both do the business and it's our answer to be able to stay home with kids and earn a nice income. Our mentor earns $8,000 a month just from working at home, and she is a single mom!
4. You may also look out for an option to work online to make extra cash in your spare time.
5. I admire your ingenuity and I am inspired by your early discovery of your entrepreneurial interests. The first thing you should consider is what is it that interests you? The most succesful entrepreneurs began by doing something they enjoyed and then turned it into a business. For information on how to start a business, there are literally thousands of resources. On the web, go to www.sba.gov and www.score.org. Your local library will have an entire section devoted to business startup and opertations. Finally, interview business owners in your area. Be professional. Ask for an appointment and keep it. Come prepared with a list of questions. Because you are as yet inexperienced in business, you have much to learn. Be patient. Start with a clear idea, develop a plan, then follow the plan and review it regularly to see where you are. I wish you the very best of success!
