13 year old planning on starting a small home business...? I'm planning on starting a small business were I put peoples old pictures (With a scanner) on my computer, repair them if needed , put them on a cd, and make a nice slide show dvd with panning and music, I live in a very small town. I'm doing some of my moms pictures right now and they look very good. How much should I charge per picture for this? And should I just start with people I know till I get a little bit more practice? The dvds are the easy part. Its scanning all those pictures that takes a long time. (Nearly about a minute per picture) If I really can make money doing this I can buy a better scanner that will go a lot faster. Actually one of the reasons I'm doing this is becouse I'm home schooled so I have lots of free time.
Advice Starting a small home repair (handyman) business.? I would like to start my own home repair business. I live in K.c. Mo. and want to do work in the metro area. Right now I'm just wanting to run this business part time. I have a full time job that I want to keep working. I'm a maintenance tech at an apartment complex. My first question: Is it even possible to keep this job or would it be a conflict of interest? I want to do work like bathroom refurbishment, basment refinishing, maybe deck building, painting, light plumbing and electrical. Yard work. Simple home maintenance. What kind of Licenses would I need? Would I need to register to pay taxes? If I brought someone in to help, would it be better for me to have them as a partner or an employee? I want to be able to advertise my services in the phone book and online. As well as with business cards. Do I need to do anything extra for this privilege? I read something that said you must register for any business operated under any name other than your own. Does this mean that if I use my own name as the business name I don't have to register? Do I need to have to have an accountant? I'm thinking that an L.L.c. would be my best bet. I know of someone who just "went down and payed a hundred dollars and got a business permit". Is it really that simple or should I just get an attorney to set up the business? How much should I expect an attorney to charge to set up a small business? I don't know anything about starting a small business, but I do know the field I have choosen. Ten yrs of experience. I apprieciate your advice on this matter, Ty.

Question about Starting a Small Business from Home? I work full-time and had an idea for starting a small business from my home. I work in a tech-related field and have most of the materials that I need already. It would probably be me and maybe my brother who works in the same field. I'm more of a tech guy and don't have too much business sense, so I had a couple of questions. - What is the difference between being self-employed and starting an LLC or corporation? Which would be best for me? - How do 'declare' my business for tax purposes? - How do I go about paying these taxes? Can I declare them with my personal income tax or do I have to file separately? - Has anyone worked with the Yahoo! Small Business stuff? Is it any good? Thanks for any advice.
