I am a senior with a minor in advertising, and am looking to possibly set up my own small freelancing advertising business just to make some extra cash and experience. Any suggestions…costs, how much to charge, where to start, etc.?

Thanks

A small business plan is very important to a growing business.  It helps you to focus your business.  A business plan also says to potential investors, “I’ve thought this through.”  You don’t have to wait until your business plan is completely perfect to go on and start your business.

Sometimes you really can’t even get your financial projections right until you have at least one year of operation.  A business plan can help you see where your slow months will be and help you prepare for your down periods. Here are some more reasons why you should write a plan for your small business.

I am trying to borrow some money up to $110k to from a relative in China to help me buy a property and start small business in the USA. Do you know how can my relative transfer the money to my bank?
