My husband has a machine shop and only uses about 1/2 his building. I would like to start a business in the other half.

I wanted to partition off a room for an office and do bookkeeping and then I was thinking about maybe a document shredding business or a document storage business would be good – any other ideas?

Thanks!
The zoning would not be a problem. This building is located in the center of town off a main street through town.

I currently work for an accounting firm and you would not believe the paper we go through – we use a shredding service and have a storage building. Doctors offices and lawyers also have a lot of documents that cannot be thrown in the garbage because of the information they contain.

Thanks for the input – any more?

If you are in the unfortunate situation where your business is failing, then this blog post will give you some fast, fast action recommendations on how to stop a business from failing.

1 ) Raise Your Prices

For a lot of entrepreneurs, this advice is counterintuitive. They see a lot of their competition reducing prices so they do the same. thing. All this does is help you go out of business quicker. The actuality for lots of business owners is that there are less folk out their buying whatever service your business sells. If you lower your costs, you will find that you’re making less cash on the people you do get in the door. Lowering prices and going for more volume is seldom a smart method, and it’s particularly perilous for a small enterprize owner. So try this instead.

Raise your prices.

That’s right, charge more. I recommend adding more price to whatever it is you offer as well. Give a bolder guarantee. Improve your shopper service. Since you have less people purchasing for you, the smart way to make up for it is simply to make the transaction value of each buyer higher.

2 ) Contact Previous Customers

Here’s an easy technique that may bring in a bunch of cash to your business quickly (as a specialist, this is my favourite one to use when a business keeps my services). If you have built up any sort of past customer/client list at all, then this is a no brainer. Send them an offer in the mail (mail works better than email) giving them an offer they won’t refuse.

If you are in a business that does business with a person then hit up that past purchaser list for referrals. But in this sort of economic environment it would behoove you to get all you are able to out of all you got.

3 ) Get out and sell something

So many business owners are frightened to sell something. They want to kick back and take the drip of people who somehow manage to find their business and give them money. Well, which will work okay in a commercial upward swing, but when there are less consumers in the marketplace, not so much.

So get out and sell something.

Do something. Be somewhere.

Usually when I search for a type of business google has many names and addresses of the businesses immediately and it’s included on google maps. But if my business consists of services primarily provided in a customer’s home (and I don’t have an office yet) can it still be listed? Without an address?

I am doing a research paper in which I am going to discuss E-commerce and internet businesses versus anti-internet businesses only that is not a real word. So please DON’T give me an obvious and idiotic answer like “business.” I am looking for businesses that do/can not use the internet to greatly benefit themselves. THANK YOU!!
THANK YOU, AFTER DOING SOME WORK I REMEMBERED BRICK-AND-MORTAR BUSINESSES.
