    I don't know what kind of business to start in my area

    Posted: 23 Sep 2020 10:40 PM PDT

    We're planning to start a business in our area/city but we don't know any on-demand services or business opportunities in our area/city. Is there a way to know any of this? Also, is there a way to collect data in an area/city on people's needs, disposable income, and other things that would be helpful in starting a business?

    How could someone open this old place back up without running into the same problems that caused it to shut down?

    Posted: 23 Sep 2020 08:55 PM PDT

    In my neighborhood, there used to be a preschool/after-school center for kids named "Happy Time Ranch". The place would be used as a preschool from 8:00am-12:30pm, and then it'd be a place for kids in lower elementary to go to after school from 2:00pm-7:00pm. Tuition to go to this place for preschool was almost $8,000 per year, while the after-school visits were free to the public.

    The place used to be a garage where a man did car repairs and minor woodwork, originally built in the late 1950s, and it was sold after he died in 1987. Some renovations to the building were made, and HTR opened sometime in September 1989.

    It was basically just one giant room with a standard wooden front door, and in it there was 5 big tables with 6 chairs each, a corner with bean bag chairs and various toys, a bookshelf in another corner, a chalkboard and open area where they'd do circle time for preschool, a small area with a sink, fridge and cabinets that had pergo hardwood floor, a TV with an analog cable hookup and VCR/DVD combo, and a set of french doors leading to the playground in the back. The playground was just like backyard playground equipment that they set up in the yard behind the building.

    At their peak around 1997, they had over 25 students enrolled in preschool. However, enrollment started to decline around 2004, and eventually they were unable to afford the mortgage on the real estate and they were forced to shut down in March 2009. The building was demolished weeks after they closed.

    I gotta say though, they just kinda let HTR run down to shit over the years. The cabinets were made with cheap-ass boards that were painted white and the paint had been cracking and peeling, the carpet that was originally neon orange turned brownish yellow over the years, and french doors in the back eventually couldn't even be opened. New books, toys, art supplies, and things like that would be bought in every year, but aside from that they hardly ever replaced or fixed anything.

    Nevertheless, I did have a lot of fun at HTR when I was a kid, and I was sad to see the place disappear. Now what sits there is an sad empty yard with nothing but tall grass and weeds. If someone wanted to one day reopen HTR, what would need to be done in order to keep from going under?

    TL;DR: a preschool/after-school center for kids in my neighborhood shut down a long time ago due to being unable to afford their mortgage. If I wanted to reopen it one day, what should I do to make sure I don't end up shutting down?

    A 17 year old who started a startup needs help

    Posted: 23 Sep 2020 10:22 AM PDT

    Hey guys,

    This can be long but I am sure it will be interesting. I am writing all of this from the core of my heart and I am sure somewhere out there, someone knowledgeable enough will read it and guide me accordingly. So a quick brief about myself, my name's Tanush, a 17 year old "Indian" (This is important) who just turned 18 a few days ago.

    So I am a graphic designer, I have worked with 100s of brands since last 3 years and I am sure they all were unaware of my age and hired me out of my portfolio. I don't want to judge my own designs, but I get great response from the community when they see my designs.

    Now India's a country where while being a high school student, generally they don't dream to start a business or work for businesses, and even if a student tries so, the community isn't much supportive, parents want their sons and daughters to study from a broken education system and live the rest of their lives working under a MNC after securing a degree. I won't blame the parents here, they just want their little ones to have a great and secured future rather than having a risky business but what this does is kills our creativity. Hence India generates one of the smartest minds and gets imported by abroad and foreign companies which is considered to be one of the greatest achievements here in India. ( India produces more engineers than US and China combined ) but they fail to generate creativity.

    Now, my parents unlike the majority are very very special, they understand me and my perspective, they agree to my stupid thoughts and needs, they never force me to do anything which I don't want, in short they are very very supportive. Now obviously, in return I always want to fulfill any wish they have, I feel like, "Wow! They are so amazing, I have to fulfill any wish they have", now obviously nothing's perfect, their only wish in exchange for their supportive nature was for me to be good academically. And unfortunately, I wasn't ( though I am above average ), I just didn't wanted to study things which won't be valuable to me in the future ( Our curriculum is very very outdated ).
    Still I have always felt very bad that they have always fulfilled all of my wishes and are extraordinary parents but I couldn't fulfill just one wish of theirs. So I thought, if I earn good enough, if I will earn extraordinarily enough in my age, they will be happy that their son is talented enough to earn at a age when students spend the time of their day playing games.

    So as I loved computers, designing and solving problems with businesses, I used to read books which could increase my entrepreneurial and marketing knowledge (One of my favorite being the "Influence | The Psychology of Persuasion", I have completed over 25-30 courses in Udemy and I currently know to operate more than 6 Adobe Software. So everyday and night, I was wondering about problems which the world had, and ways to solve them (to me this is what business is). Opened several of them, and closed without seeing much profit and then one day I sat to re-evaluate myself and my mistakes and that is when I realized that I was not giving enough time for each of those businesses to flourish. I wasn't giving enough of my dedication to any of them. But often, I used to doubt myself, that really will a 17 year old be able to earn enough or start businesses, if this would be so easy, why people so experienced and aged would struggle to do so. But somewhere down my heart, I wanted to prove the age factor wrong.

    Though at that time I also used to carry out part time and freelance jobs. So fortunately, I was little successful at earning, Getting $200 per month through freelance jobs which is a big deal here at the age of 16 was something which I was able to do, so they were satisfied that I am skillful enough to earn without being good academically. But I wanted to make them 'very proud' so I had bigger dreams, I wanted to buy my mom the dream house she ever wanted as soon as possible ( because I have this strange and weird fear of the death of my parents, and I want to achieve things as soon as possible at least so that they can see that they were successful at making their son a great and successful person and go very very happily and peacefully ), I wanted to be one of the most youngest entrepreneur the country has seen and don't worry, I am very very against of 'get rich quick schemes'. I believe in the hard work that goes into earning.

    So, now you know the little background of mine, and back to current situation. So now, after evaluating all of my mistakes and understanding what I am excellent at, I opened a company which served Social Media Management services by making beautiful content 5-7 days a week with mesmerizing caption copy ( I did hire a talented copywriter for this and 2-3 more people for better management) and I posted our portfolio in one of the Facebook groups, and instantly few people approached from all around the world and I successfully closed two of them from Portland and Australia respectively, It's been 4 months, and we produced beautiful and engaging posts for them and even successfully carried some marketing campaigns as well. Through my experience of last 2 years, I had little knowledge about the Instagram algorithm as well, so I was able to successfully bump up their engagement rates as well. So now this so called company of mine is generating more than 600$ monthly, (though not much profit is left, but I don't want to secure profit right now). But something inside me was telling me, if I secured just 2 clients without any much effort and helped them with their problem of social presence then over the world, there must be so so so many companies who are in need of the same services, I searched through Fiverr and all, and people are charging hundreds of dollars for designs which are no where close to ours so I am pretty sure, I can scale this to immense figures.

    Now the facebook group where I posted the portfolio have closed the option of promotions, and I can't seem to approach clients or get any leads. I am exploring LinkedIn, Fiverr and other sites. but still I feel like there is something which I am missing or doing wrong. Now I know there are a lot of people with immense knowledge here, if you did read all of the above. Thankyou so so much, I feel proud that I was able to make even a single person read this. but if there is anything, any advice which you feel should be given to me, please do so. Where should I look at, where should I get the clients, should I start with Paid ads? What should I do right now, even if you have anything to say apart from this, please do so. Any critique or comment will be valuable to me more than you know. Again Thankyou so so much for reading this through. Hope you have a wonderful day ahead.

    If I and someone else forms an LLC and do not wish to take a share of the money. Are we required to follow some kind of employment law or can we keep it there?

    Posted: 23 Sep 2020 02:09 PM PDT

    We want to start an LLC. But we don't want to take money out of the business but rather reinvest it inside the company.
    Can we keep the money in the business and not take it out or do we have to do this as some kind of employment?
    Sorry if this isn't very clear
