Since its slow, I thought I would ask, I have been out of work since 3-07 and have applied at over 190 places, (and the electric company and others are ruthless-wanting to shut me off) I used to work at car dealers mainly doing warranty claims, I am desperately trying to get out of this,(kind of cut throat) and was wondering if anyone had any tips about starting your own business? I kind of have a side line but its mostly friends who want stuff done for cheap. I want to do restoration work (which I am familiar) but would also like to do street rods, fabrication, suspension, engine installs. And was thinking of hiring someone for this-- my main worries are how to get that first customer? advertise? where?? (a friend of mine has his own business and his advertising rarely brings in new customers, its mostly word of mouth) and I am in need of some equipment-do I take out a loan?? any opinions would be appreciated.
