Starting a Small Business

All right folks.

At this point, there are six of you in the class and you'll be working in pairs. I may allow one more pair to join the class.

First week assignment is to pair up and decide what kind of mock business you want to start.

I know that [livejournal.com profile] kinneybrian and [livejournal.com profile] taylorjustin said they want to work together.

[livejournal.com profile] the4thsister mentioned possibly working with [livejournal.com profile] cookinggeek because they live together - are you two going to do that?

That would leave [livejournal.com profile] aka_vala and [livejournal.com profile] veronicamars1 as partners.

I'll work on the assumption that this is going to be the case and you let me know if anything changes. You can have this class time to decide what type of business you want to run (restaurant, inn, PR firm, factory, whatever) and figure out a name. Remember that your name says a lot about you and sometimes a name can make or break you.

Names can also have brand recognition - My inn, for example, is called The Dragonfly Inn - and, consequently, we use a dragonfly logo on as much as possible. Keep these things in mind when deciding on a name.

Next week, we'll talk about getting start up capital for your business.

Yeah me and [livejournal.com profile] cookinggeek will be working together> I'd guess she'll want to do something to do with cooking, she seems pretty keen on that and I'm easy!

Oh yeah well... erm I'm easy going. No one in here looks like they'd take it the wrong way. Although *Paige trails off releasing going in how she actually is kind of is easy is not so appropraite*
