(Charles Curley) >First thing is contact your local Chamber of Commerce and ask them >what you need to do.
>You need a marketing analysis of the product, some evidence you can >get the thing to work, and a business plan. And you need to put up >something of your own in the financial category. for the sake of squashing good intended misinformation: everything charles recommends to do is incorrect in the context of venture startups. -the chamber of commerce will be worse than useless, and more than likely misdirect you. -marketing analysis of the product is the last thing you need - though analysis of the market is critical. -a business plan is not only unnecessary, it is often a time/money wasting red herring. -you will not need to put up any of your own money. just trying to help out. ;-) Josh Coates www.jcoates.org .===================================. | This has been a P.L.U.G. mailing. | | Don't Fear the Penguin. | | IRC: #utah at irc.freenode.net | `==================================='
