    Starting a clothing brand & getting it into shops.

    Hey Forum, I currently sell clothes and underwear on ebay, making just enough money for an eighteen year old lad to live on. After having a bit of pressure piled on me to 'get a job' I've turned my attention to creating a clothing label. I've come up with what I feel is a good name for the...

    Recorded & Signed for delivery or not?

    Thanks for the excellent advice and input everyone. Sales increased today, so hopefully it's a sign to show that the Recorded Delivery hasn't put too many people of. The Next Day delivery is too expensive, so I doubt many people would go for it. I may just offer additional postage options in...

    Recorded & Signed for delivery or not?

    Hey Forum, I've just turned eighteen and run a little ebay shop at the moment. Pretty inexperienced in the whole business side of things; I'm awful at keeping track of my stock and not sure if I've made all the right decisions along the way. Lately I feel like I've been getting scammed by a...

    Poker Player

    Leave it to the poker community. I've played a lot of poker in my past and it's very common for people to get staked. But it's usually done in the poker community where people understand the swings and correct plays. In tournaments variance is high, so you might end up staking this guy and he...

    What inspired you to start your business

    Is age a big issue?

    I think it can a problem if you're doing face to face transactions. But for building websites I wouldn't say it's a factor. I would be more interested in seeing what kind of websites you've built in the past, what the quality of work is like etc. I'm 17 and have a small online shop which is...

    10K and need help please.

    I disagree with those saying 'in this climate its a bad time to start up, la la la'! Surely it's a great time to start up - with bigger businesses finding it hard and having to lay numerous workers off, it's a chance for you to step in and offer a greater service. Especially if you find some...
