start up company help

[bhavz007]

I am currently doing market research for my start up business, as I am still 17 years of age I am finding it hard to get on contact with big brands who I need to talk to, to carry on further.

I need to get on contact with marketing/promoters of companies such as mcdonalds, subway, topman and so fourth to ask how much they are willing to pay for advertising on my product.

are there any people who are able to help me with this problem?

That's great that you're starting a business at such a young age, I hope it goes really well!!

If you want to contact the people in charge of marketing at McDonald's, etc., you could try looking for them on something like LinkedIn or other networking websites - they may have profiles there.

This web page is the McDonald's student projects information page - http://www.mcdonalds.co.uk/about-us/schools-and-students/schools-and-students.shtml. You could contact them and get some research/contacts first then propose your business to them soon after. Not sure if it will work, just an idea...

Hope this helps.

James.
