could u start a buisness with 5k and set yourself up for life

depends how greedy you are bill

amazon started in founders garage

i have £5k to invest in the right idea

STACK EM HIGH AND SELL THEM CHEAP

sell dictionaries door to door, loads of bad spellers out there

Sell before you buy

Yes, but I wouldn't do it again.

Can certainly be done, bill.

What sort of thing are you actually looking for?

ive got 50k to start a business and after months of searching for ideas, i came up with nuttin. good ideas arent easy to come up with.

ssb - you must be joking ?

no im not joking. i could have 2m and i still wouldnt have a good idea.

i have no interest in any kind of shop/restaurant. id hate doing anything like that. they nearly all go bust in a few years anyway.

Ever thought of buying items and selling at a profit?

Loads of opportunities out there at the moment. Many wholesalers are practically giving away

stuff (in bulk) right now.

buying and selling items

now theres a thought

well if i had 2m id just buy a load of flats and rent em out. so probably a silly thing to say.

but apart from that, i have no business ideas whatsoever. right now i think i may end up writing a book and publishing it myself. tbh theres not much im any good at. im ggod at maths and writing, yes id use proper punctuation before anyone starts lol, other than im crap at everything else.

have you accrued that 50k from betting ?

You can laugh (Ayers) - but its surprising how easy it is and its astonishing

what people will buy - even in this awful economic climate.

raspberry im only messing, this is actually a very good talking point, ideas for businesses, i am thinking myself and it is difficult

ok matey.

Buying stuff in bulk is easy (and cheap) at the moment and

so is flogging it ! I don't mean selling online btw.

farts in a bottle. 5k up front and ill start building up inventory.

I have an idea

How about starting your own tour guide business?

It would be cheap, all you need to focus on is marketing rather than purchasing assets, you could strike a deal with travelodge about having your flyers left in their rooms, thats where alot of tourist stay centrally and the people that would be interested

Now, in london there are tour guides aplenty, but they all do the same thing, show people the same old landmarks, plaques, statues etc

Yours to be different, could be more niche, design a tour inc sites and points of interest that the main tours dont show, that would be your USP

of course if you dont live in london this will be useless

trotters ethnic tours?

mais oui, mais oui!
