Scared of share your specific idea?

I think about if it is rational to be scared about telling anyone the ideas we have. In most of the cases someone out there already had the idea. If nobody had it, people will know the idea as soon as we offer the service or product. So there would only be the first mover advantage, but even if we are the first mover, a richer person can still copy our idea. So why should we be so scared? Do I miss something? What do u think?

How does a LLC work with two people?

My friend and I are opening an Etsy store and wondering how we can open this business under both our social security numbers so one person doesn’t take the tax hit. How do we apply? Any advice?

In three decades, more than 100 million Americans will live in an “extreme heat belt,” according to researchers at First Street Foundation, a nonprofit that studies climate risk. That means at least one day a year, the heat index will exceed 125° Fahrenheit (52° Celsius) — the top level of the National Weather Service’s heat index, or the extreme danger level. (The index combines temperature and humidity to arrive at how it feels when you go outside.) The future heat belt is a huge swath that includes the Southeast and the area just west of the Appalachian Mountains, stretching from Texas and Louisiana all the way up through Missouri and Iowa to the Wisconsin border — not a part of the US most associate with heat.

Paper bag supplier

Hi Wondering where other businesses are buying cheap kraft paper bags ? As our government is telling us we can’t use plastic in 2023. Probably have to pass costs onto consumer which sucks and don’t want to.

Marketing/Advertising Agency vs. DIY

I’d love to hear peoples thoughts and opinions on this. Currently my wife helps a woman run a cleaning business, however we are moving cities and she would like to start something like this in the new city for herself. The woman she helps usually uses Yelp/and I’m sure some other platform. Maybe google ads/Facebook ads. How beneficial would it be to learn these things vs the cost of hiring someone for this if we just want to focus on the service.

No projects, no revenue recently

I have a team of 5 MERN Stack developers and we usually develop MVPs and Web apps. We have developed many SaaS MVP projects and helped many startups but recently my partner who was taking care of sales left the office and now my team is mostly free apart from our product they have no work and this is where I need help from this community. I am struggling generating leads and sales. I am looking for feedback and help.

to take the leap?

I'm in a small town in Australia, and we get a lot of traffic flow coming through. Job opportunities a few and far between here, but I have the opportunity to lease a coffee room on the main road for $200 per week, $500 est quarterly for all bills. It comes with all equipment, and is ready to walk in and start, I just have to sign the lease, buy some supplies etc. I most likely won't get this opportunity again, and i really want to take it. So on to the question: I'm a single Mum to 5. because i'm not working a normal job and will be working for myself, will i lose all my payments/medical benefits I currently receive and have to live solely on the shop income straight away? Or is there a limit to what you can earn before they start deducting like a regular job? I don't want to screw my kids over but also want a better life for us. Thanks in advance

Cash balance dashboard

I'm curious if anyone has found a dashboard tool that can pull bank balances from multiple banks and sources in one place. Our business has grown more complex due to the regulatory environments we are in, and we have a dozen different entities by this point, with dozens of bank accounts with three different banks and 6 different QuickBooks files (this is necessary for audited entities). Figuring out how much cash we have at any given point in time is more difficult that it would seem. Sometimes it takes me 15 minutes. For consumers - its easy. [C](https://Mint.com)onnect Mint or Personal Capital, for instance, you can connect bank accounts from multiple sources and see your total cash. I have yet to find a business tool to do the same.

Question on emergency succession planning for Family Business?

Hi all, ​ My father started a manufacturing company around 15 years ago and I joined in about 4 years ago. Over the weekend we found out a friend died unexpectedly which prompted my dad to tell me to look into succession planning if suddenly something were to happen to him. I am doing research elsewhere and believe I will have to talk to a lawyer about business ownership as well but thought this community might be able to offer some advise as well. ​ Things I think will need to be done: \-Become a curator on his will \-Making sure he rights down a list of passwords/codes and have it in a safe, known location. \-Create business ownership plan with lawyer. ​ If there is something specific I should look into or anything big that I missed please help me out. Thank you!

HARD LANDING: 'It's basically just history. It's really hard to achieve a soft landing', Michael Gapen told FOX Business. Link in bio.

Is it ethical to seek employment at a small business solely to figure them out then compete directly against them?

There's a very niche service business operating in my city that I'm really interested in starting on my own. They are constantly posting that they're hiring, and I'd love to work there for two or three months to gather all the information on their processes, equipment, marketing strategies, etc. Basically soaking up everything I can while working there so I don't make the same mistakes they might have already made. Very doubtful they have people signing NDAs, it definitely isn't something in the tech field. Thinking about getting an interview any way I can, play dumb, accept the absolute lowest pay they'll offer me so I can get the most hours, then in two or three months, bail on them and go ahead to head. Ethical? Or is this just capitalism?

Peloton is planning to redesign its bikes so that customers can self-assemble them at home and will explore letting users beam its content to rival workout machines, part of a wide-ranging turnaround bid under CEO Barry McCarthy. When a customer currently orders a bike from Peloton, the equipment is delivered and set up by a professional in the user’s home. The idea going forward will be to design the bike so customers can unbox and assemble it themselves, McCarthy said in an interview. “We’ve been working on it for a while, and it’s a real thing,” he said. “We’ll continue to cost-reduce the hardware and we will engineer it so that you can assemble it, so that we can ship it via FedEx.” Read more at the link in our bio.
