| Small restaurant owners: what is preventing you from adding online ordering to your website? Posted: 14 Oct 2019 03:19 PM PDT Maybe it's because I'm from a small town, but a lot of the small restaurants around me don't do online ordering. Yet, they do call in to-go orders. Is this because the cost is too high? Or it will effect margins too much for the freemium tools? I feel like in today's age, this is becoming the norm. So, I'm curious what the potential blockers are. [link] [comments]  |
| Should my website say "we", "us", "our team" etc. or just "I" for a single person operation? Posted: 14 Oct 2019 03:35 PM PDT I own a small startup business that I started a year ago, and when designing my website I say things like "contact us today" and "our team of experts" and "we have experience in" and "we're dedicated to" and stuff like that. I'm just a one-man-shop though. Should my website just say "I" and "me", or should I leave it as-is? I'm not sure if I'm allowed to put a link to my site in the post, so I'll put it in the comments below if anyone is interested in how the verbiage actually looks. [link] [comments]  |
| Idea Feedback - Subscription Box Service For Isolated Elders Posted: 14 Oct 2019 01:09 PM PDT I have an idea that I am looking for constructive feedback and comments about. My idea is to create a subscription box service for isolated seniors either as a result of old age or disabilities such as Parkinson's, etc. The box would contain items that help makes their lives more convenient to mental stimulation to community building. This would include everything from jar openers, brain teaser books, puzzles, and a monthly thought of the week in which individuals would write back a response with paper and postage provided to be featured in the next month's box newletter. In addition, it will also include pictures and a letter from an individual (most likely son/daughter or niece/nephew) who purchased the box for the elder. This will include updates in their lives as well as the option for monthly topics to write about such as favorite memories growing up, life lessons, etc. Boxes will be sold as monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, and 1 time purchases. Essentially, the goal is to create community for isolated seniors. Currently, my biggest concern and not knowing exactly how to market the box, as we are not necessarily targeting elders who most likely will lack the technology skills to access the product, but rather those who are looking to stay more connected to their parents/loved ones but unfortunately live too far or are unable to spend as much time. I would really appreciate any feedback for this idea and thank you for your time. [link] [comments]  |
| Firework stand owners: How do you start Posted: 14 Oct 2019 05:40 PM PDT My friend and I would like to start a firework stand this season. We have some idea of what were doing, but need guidance on about how much money we are going to need to start, where to get and how much firework inventory we need, and how much to charge. How do we contact a location we can sell? etc. etc. What are some insider tips? Thanks in advance. [link] [comments]  |
| 18F from Texas who has a home cookie business Posted: 14 Oct 2019 07:19 PM PDT Started earlier this year when I was 17, senior year of high school got hectic so I put it on hold around spring although I did make a few hundred bucks profit and got the word out to family, friends, my high school and even my doctor. Now I'm in college for my associates in baking & pastry arts and I work part time at a local cupcake place. I really want to get back on my game again so can other small bakery owners give me some advice? How can I market myself more and expand (I have a Facebook page)? I even want to capitalize on the popular gender reveal party trend with gender reveal cookies. My ultimate goal is to have a physical store and I have a long way to go, but any advice on what to do and what not to do? [link] [comments]  |
| The E-signing business solution that came live ! Posted: 15 Oct 2019 04:24 AM PDT 80% of deals that formed digitally and signed through E-sign take 1 day to be fully completed. 25$ saved as usual expenses for the paper signing process. 7 hours a week of saved time. We started as an idea of becoming something useful. DottedSign is a possibility to make it true! [link] [comments]  |

I previously posted this in r/Entrepreneur but I wanted to get some more feedback. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 14 Oct 2019 04:44 AM PDT Hey Guys I've always dreamed of having my own start-up and while I tried my hand on a few traditional (trading and such) businesses, nothing ever really seemed to take off. However, I've got an idea that I've been spending some time on and I think it can really take off. I would love your feedback on it. A marketplace for rentals. No not property, not cars but... everything else. Here's how I came up with the idea: a friend called me up once and asked if I had a car polisher at my disposal that I could lend to him and I didn't, so I thought I'll just pop over to good old google and look for a service that could let us rent it out. There was no such service. The more I thought about it and the more I talked to people, I realized that this is a valid problem that I could potentially solve for the market. A marketplace where users could rent out items to other people. Simple. (obviously there's a lot more complexity in terms of deliveries and insurances involved but that can be sorted out as we go along) What do you guys think? Would you use an app like that?

| Posted: 15 Oct 2019 12:39 AM PDT In the last century, many companies found themselves trapped in a vicious circle of R&D investment, initial market success, competitive pressure, and price-cutting until commoditization eventually forced them out of the market. Branding creates the opposite effect-- the virtuous circle. By combining logic and magic, a company can ignite a chain reaction that leads from differentiation to collaboration to innovation to validation and finally to cultivation. Built into cultivation is the mandate to question all assumptions, leapfrog the status quo, and begin the cycle again. With each turn, the company and it's brand spiral higher, taking it further from commoditization and closer to the Holy Grail of marketing: a sustainable competitive advantage. A brand is not a logo. A brand is not a corporate identity system. It's a person's gut feeling about a product, service, or company. Because it depends on others for its existence, it must become a guarantee of trustworthy behavior. Good branding makes business integral to society and creates an opportunity for everyone, from the chief executive to the most distant customer. [link] [comments]  |
| A question about arcade cabinet distribution Posted: 14 Oct 2019 04:39 PM PDT I've been scouring the internet for a few days now, and I just thought to post here for a varied set of answers. What are my options for leasing/renting arcade machines? I'm thinking of opening a college-age hangout and would like to get my hands on a couple of them. Any references would be helpful!

| Buying a small business as a semi-passive investment Posted: 14 Oct 2019 06:41 PM PDT Hello all, A lot of people recommend buying real estate to generate passive income. However, it seems like it got so overcrowded and you often have to pay 7-10x revenues for a decent property. That's why I was thinking of buying a small business that generates a stable cash flow instead that I could manage part-time. A lot of people will soon retire and I would like to buy a small company that requires 20-25 hours or less/week. Obviously, there is no "easy money" to be made, but it seems like it could be a good way to build wealth. Bonus question: Are there any good books about what I'm trying to do? [link] [comments]  |
| Question about getting a business credit card without an LLC Posted: 14 Oct 2019 06:34 PM PDT So I'm just wondering if it's possible to get a credit card for my business without an LLC. I'm actually going through a transitional phase where I'm about to close one business LLC and start a new one. During this transitional period, I won't have an actual business to declare. So I'm wondering if it's even possible to get a credit card without having a business tied to it. [link] [comments]  |
| Buying used items and selling on ebay Posted: 14 Oct 2019 01:57 PM PDT I want to start buying used items like designer wallets/accessories and sell them on ebay. I tested this out with my own old items and they sell pretty quick. Can anyone help with how to best go about advertising and buying these old items from people? Perhaps advertise online? But would i then go and collect these items? Or is there a better way? Going and picking up items turns will cost time and kill any real profit i imagine. [link] [comments]  |

| What licenses do I need to start a resell business? Posted: 14 Oct 2019 06:39 PM PDT I want to start a resell business in Ontario where I buy thrifted clothes and sell them. Is there any specific license that I need in order to do this or do I just need a regular business license? Edit: to be more specific, I want to start posting my items on Instagram in order to reach a wider audience [link] [comments]  |
| Niche Down a Consulting Company Posted: 14 Oct 2019 05:43 PM PDT What are some of your pain points in regard to finance with your small business?

| Your best passive business that you started and exited Posted: 14 Oct 2019 08:48 AM PDT Hey folks, looking to start another business here soon and was hoping I could hear what some of you all have done and could scale if you really put in the effort. What was your best passive business idea (or relatively passive), looking for stories outside the stock market, that once you had that sucker up and running really ran itself? [link] [comments]  |
| What does Clover EOL look like? Posted: 14 Oct 2019 11:20 AM PDT I have multiple Clover 1.0 machines at my store that are nearing 2 years old. They have stopped connecting well to wifi (the signal comes up as one bar even though it comes up full strength on my phone.) They periodically stop swiping cards and just don't register that a card has been swiped at all. Unplugging and replugging mitigates this to some extent, but sometimes we just have to manually enter numbers. Is this a sign that I should get them replaced? Has anyone else experienced old Clovers, and is this what it looked like? Any ideas on how much more use I can get out of them? [link] [comments]  |
| What was on your checklist before going full-time into your small business? Posted: 14 Oct 2019 09:19 AM PDT For those who had a full-time job and a side gig that became their small business, I'm curious: What was on your checklist before you decided to quit your day job and go all in on your small business? Are there things you wish you did or didn't do that would have made a big difference? I'm a small business owner (Binxbox.net) and I've had a HUGE boom in customers in the past year; growing exponentially each month. I am at the crossroads where it is untenable to keep both my "day job" and this business. I'm meeting with a financial advisor soon to talk about some financial goals and projections. I make decisions best with feedback/experiences. I'm curious about other peoples experiences with making this jump and what you did, what you wish you did or didn't do, and what was the most helpful for your ongoing independence? Thanks!

| Pool cleaning business needs some ideas Posted: 14 Oct 2019 12:17 PM PDT This is my first time here, so I apologize if this breaks rules. I would sure appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction if this isn't the right sub. My father owns a pool cleaning business, and he basically does everything himself. He does all billing, buys supplies, etc. He also works cleaning pools every day. He has one employee who also cleans pools, but otherwise he does everything else himself. His legs are beginning to fail him however, and if he can't clean pools himself, he's worried his business won't survive. So we are trying to figure out a way that he can keep his business going but without him having to clean pools personally. Even if he hired another employee, he'd still be taking a massive pay cut and unable to afford his home and bills. Any thoughts? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 14 Oct 2019 03:47 PM PDT This is a question about my father's business. So he has started his business last year and has purchased necessary equipment & other services for operating his business (he doesn't expect to have no sales before the summer of 2021), and as far as I know (I haven't seen yet the invoices), he has paid most of them Product/Service Price + VAT. My question is this, when he declares on the tax authority his business financial statements, is the tax authority agency going to refund these VAT's? Sorry for this dumb question, I wanted to ask first before consulting an accountant. Thank you very much for your time. [link] [comments]  |
| Shipping Software Solutions B2B FedEx/UPS Posted: 14 Oct 2019 11:35 AM PDT I am looking for a shipping management solution that does a number of things.
I am currently running into a road block finding anything good or even ERP software that has that capability built in. Ship Station appears to be set up for B2C commerce, I do not operate in that world unfortunately. [link] [comments]  |
