I pay no liability, no workers comp and the permits I paid were: Washington State business license: $30, Employee Identification Number Application: $150.

None , your liability insurance , workers compensation and permits will be over 10K$
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1382898



thats bs


i run a business for much less than that:

$150 in corporate activity tax (CAT Tax) for license to operate and under $700 in insurance per year

the biggest cost would be the tax return, but i do my own since i have an accounting degree

and btw workers comp is not required for sole proprietors

I have 2 grand, what small business can I start? Im good in sales/retail etc.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1294231

Check this out. You can purchase food products from here [link to www.5298.freefood2go.com] and sell it at your local flea market or farmers market. Just bring some already prepared in a crock pot and give away free samples. I sell 2 serving pouches for between $3.00 and $4.00 and my cost about $1.25. Wal-Mart sells a similar product for $6.00 for a two serving pouch. If you are interested in marketing to others you can get others to join the co-op and your food will cost you nothing!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1383306


This concept here works and you can make a couple hundred bucks working a few hours on the weekend. Nearly everyone who tries the product either buys some or joins the co-op. Be sure to have a lap top so you can sign people up on the spot or order larger quantities of the product for them..
 Quoting: SafetyGuy

What the hell, I'll give it a shot. Thx for the link.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1383355

No, thank you and welcome to the team! I guess I should point out that this is only available to people in the US at this time as I see a couple of you from elsewhere have attempted to join as associates. However; There are plans to go international very soon.

Summer is almost here, buy an Ice cream cart on ebay and stock it with ice cream. If you can secure the right location you may make enough to take off during the colder months and do it again next year.

yea, bad place to ask how to make money. i am sure most of these guys are sitting at in their parents basement.

also, forget about forex. its something like 95% of people lose money. and the 5% that do arent on this board.

think out of the box.

try ebay, and alibaba.com. find a niche you know, and start from there.

i once met a guy who traveled throughout eastern europe buying old used books, and re-selling them in london.

i met another guy who bought lighters from china, and sold them to gas stations.

There are actually some pretty good ideas in this thread. Even the ones that are meant to be humorous show that it only takes a creative mind to make it in this world.

Because I think you are serious I am going to answer you seriously.

This is a small business I thought about when my daughters were small.

Kids love stickers!

So, start a web site that has a bazillion different stickers that kids would like and will badger their parents into buying for them.

Stickers have multiple advantages, you can store huge quantities in a small space, and they can ship in an envelope.

Let me know how it works out and I will send my address so you can send me ten percent of gross

I would hold on to the 2K and work for somebody else. This is not the right economic climate for starting a business, plus 2k isn't really enough anyway.

buy and sell stuff on ebay. You can start up an online store called "In My Day" and go around to thrift shops, donation centers and estate sales and buy well made, non China made, non toxic items that aren't crap. Like for example, nothing beats cotton pillow cases from the 50's and earlier. Even better if they are embroidered. Or actual real Lenox bone china that has sold on Ebay for hundreds or thousands of dollars and Ive seen at estate sales and craig's list for 40 bucks. And old school Schwinn mens bicycles. Find one for cheap, take the rust off the chrome with aluminum foil and water and viola, someone will fork over $100-$200+

I read an article once of a gal who washed windows. Her equipment was a step ladder, bucket, big sponge, squeegee and a bottle of vinegar (leaves no streaks). She made a 6 figure income most years she wanted to as she had almost zero competition working the better neighborhoods.
