I have two possible business opportunities and I'm not sure how to go about them because they're both very different. 1. Doing some temp accounting work for companies I know. I wouldn't be on their payroll but would just help them out and bill them as needed 2. Selling gift baskets. I always give them as gifts and this year I've had companies ask me if I can do some for them. How do I go about doing both of those legally, tax and GST wise? (In AB so no PST). Do I need to incorporate two businesses or can I work under one or even trade names? How do I set up a business/GST number? Any help is greatly appreciated.
--------------------
You will need to register with the IRS for tax purposes as well as your state for excise taxes and B&O taxes. If you can afford it, I would file for a limited liability company and then register 2 trade names, one for each business. Contact the IRS to obtain a EIN ( Employer Identification Number ), I believe you can apply for one online now - I did it via postal mail. The best recommendation is to visit your state's licensing department's website to obtain all the information necessary for doing business in your state. If you work out of your home, there are 'some' restrictions sometimes so you'll have to work with the licensing department to figure that out. Good luck!

Im trying to start a business....?
Im now a stay at home dad of my newborn for a few months 'cause my wife makes more than I did. Im trying to start this while I do nothing at home. It's a gift/sales kind of business but I have no idea what I'm doing. I wanna make gift baskets, jewelry, toys, perfumes, flowers, etc. I want to buy things wholesale and put them together, make a catalog to distribute, things like that. What I need is a business plan which I don't know how to make or where to get it; a sales license that I believe I can get at my local city hall; the supplies, which I cannot seem to find good prices online for; and a grant, which I have no idea as to how I am going to attain. I graduated high school, did 'some' college, and have a trade that I can always fall back on. Can you guide me as to where I can find the information I need? Or, if possible, give me some tips yourself? Thanks everyone.
--------------------
Okay, let me take a shot at your list. 1) Business plan - go to the web site of the Business Development Bank of Canada http://www.bdc.ca/en/my_project/Projects… and click on step 2. This will give you more than enough information to do a Business Plan. 2) Licenses and permits - You will need some kind of business license from the local government, so you are right about going to City Hall. You will also need to get a state sales tax certificate (assuming the state you reside in charges sales tax) and if you plan on doing business using anything other than your name you will have to register DBA (Doing Business As) -- try City Hall to get this done. If they can't do it they will be able to tell you who does. 3) Supplies - You will have to do a search for wholesalers and manufacturers of each type of supply you are seeking. You will find that prices are going to depend on the quantities you buy and when starting out quantities should be small and as a result the cost to you will be high. 4) Grant money - Forget it! Unless you are going to hire a number of unemployed workers and set up shop in a depressed neighborhood getting grant money to start a business isn't about to happen. Since you will be starting off small this shouldn't be a problem. To keep your costs down you should look into using a web site instead of a catalog to promote your gift baskets. You can set up a web site complete with a shopping cart, paypal and credit card sales for less money than even a simple low volume catalog. Hope this helps Jerry-the-bookkeeper

If I create a local website for my city, do you think it will work?
There are over 700 businesses that have a website listed in our local phone book. I decided to build a website directory for these businesses. Once I complete the directory, I will create category listings for certain businesses that will help promote the site. Area businesses will be able to link their website or create a profile for free as long as they help promote the website to the public. For a minimal charge, I can create and manage their websites for them and maybe throw in email advertising as a bonus by building a list from participating businesses. Other revenue will be earned from florist shops, gift baskets, gift certificates, etc. To ensure speedy service, I will deliver the goods too. Do you think my website will work or is it a waste of time? You can visit my site at SeeMeOn.com. How does the name sound? Thank you for your input
--------------------
It's a waste of time. There are so many online directories providing this service you will not be able to get visitors to a local website to find information you are providing. Most people just go to Google. If you have the skills, you could go to your local businesses and offer to get them online by creating their websites for a fee. If I was you, I would create web pages with automatic cash generating pages with affiliate links and adsense pages. Hope this helps

What should I get my Fiancee's Mother For Christmas?
What should I get my Fiancee's Mother For Christmas? We have been together for almost 3 years. I was thinking of framing a nice photo of her son since she can never get a nice picture of him. Camera shy. But im not sure if I should give her a nice photo of the both of us together. I would obviously put the picture in a nice frame. What do you think? The pictures are black and white and taken outside in a forest so they look very elegant as if a professional took them. I am just not sure if she would want a picture of me...she hated me for the 1st half of our relationship. I stil dont know if she realllly likes me. Would this be a bad idea? We have given her gift baskets and candles in the past so those are not options. It's just a little something..since he doesnt live at home anymore.....Would giving her a picture of her son, portray a covert message saying...i have ur son now, he lives with me....here u just get a picture of him.??????Also, they already have many many plants in their house already. So i dont want to get her flowers or a pointcetta...or chocolates... Any other suggestions? a gift card is not an option. That is the easy way out.

Christmas gift for boyfriend?
okay, so this is mine and my boyfriend's second christmas together. last christmas we made personalized converse for each other and also exchanged a few gifts. this year, we're doing the same shoe thing but are making a budget of $20 dollars. i might go over and spend about $30 though, cuz that's just how i am. so, i was wondering, what is a good gift idea for a guy? i wanna get him more than one thing. like a basket with goodies or whatever. i'm the kinda person who likes to personalize everything with a special picture and stuff, but this year i'm just blank. and i have to have the gift by this sunday because he will be leaving out of town with his family. =( any ideas. by the way. he's into video games (idk which ones) funny stuff football and me.... i'm joking. ok. help please and thank you!

what to put in these baskets?
since im making alot of xmass gifts ive already started gathering items and sorting through stuff so when it comes time to sit down and make them i will be all organized. if u had to make these baskets what sort of stuff would u put in them? (no ebay suggestions or negative comments thanks) -black basket which has a nightmare beefore xmass theme (friend is obsessed with it) *for 22 yr old female -red sox theme basket (has a home made blanket in it) *for 23 yr old male -a cozy winter basket *for 20 yr old female any other ideas for baskets are alllll welcome those are just what ive decided on so far..thanks for any help
--------------------
Some thoughts would be obvious, like little stuffed characters, stickers, or other movie-related items for the Nightmare Before Christmas basket. Another thing would be to RUN to Target or other stores while they're clearing out the Halloween stuff - it's cheap right now and will be gone soon. Target has a great line of scary themed stuff under the brand name Edgar & Ellen. Black nail polish or lipstick would be pretty cool, or even some fishnet stockings! If your friend likes the Nightmare Before Christmas DVD, consider getting other DVDs by Tim Burton to put in it. He did Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride, Edward Scissorhands, Beetle Juice, and that blast from the past, Frankenweenie. He also did Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Pee Wee's Big Adventure, but those aren't quite as scary. Also, believe it or not Nightmare Before Christmas is a Disney movie, so you'll be able to find ornaments and other movie items at Disney stores or at their online websites. For the Red Sox basket, I'd just go to a sports memorabilia or sports collectible store. They have autographed baseballs and baseball cards, licensed Red Sox merchandise, and Red Sox apparel. They should soon have ads on TV for the Boston 2007 season in review, since they just won the World Series, so you may want to consider getting something like that. A Red Sox baseball cap, Red Sox baseball, and an autographed baseball card of Josh Beckett would do the trick. A cozy winter basket could include a fleece blanket, slipper socks or other fuzzy footwear, hot cocoa, a CD like Sarah McLachlan's Wintersong, and a classic or girl-friendly DVD like Breakfast at Tiffany's, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Bridget Jones Diary, or Sense and Sensibility. There are many basket ideas. Baskets with spa products go over well with many women. If you give a guy a basket that has something to eat, something to drink, and something to watch on TV, he'll probably like it! If you list gender and ages, as well as some interests, you'll get lots of ideas!

6 month anniversary gift for boyfriend?
Hi friends! My lovely b/f and I will be celebrating our 6th month anniversary in less than two weeks. I wasn't planning on giving him anything until he implied that he would be taking me out to dinner and buying me jewelry. I'm a poor college student and running on a limited budget, but I love him and I really want to give him something special, unfortunately, I've run out of gift ideas! I was thinking maybe since we're both going to Ocean City, MD at the end of the summer, I could make him a basket full of super-cool beach stuff like movie passes to the local theater and little $5 gift certificates to Candy Kitchen and so on. I was going to put it all in a beach sand-castle pail and give it to him at dinner, but I'm not sure what all to put in the basket. Any ideas would be appreciated. Also if you can think of anything better than my OC basket idea, I'd appreciate those thoughts too. Thanks so much, lovelies!

Boyfriends parents a gift for christmas?
1st of all i know its early but i'm horrible at getting gifts. 2nd of all, ive been dating my boyfriend for 9 months now. So, do i get the parents something for christmas? If so, would this be ok? I was thinking a basket of homemade bath gel (made by me of course) because it sounds fun to make and his mom is into bath gel and making 2 "jars" of cookies where you put the flour in then choc. chip peices...because his dad loves sweets and his mom is a great cook. Would this be ok? If not, what should I get?
--------------------
So far your doing great..I would make that one chocolate chip and 1 muffin ( I have recipes for that if you want) I would get a DVD or CD. If you get a DVD, get some microwave kettle corn. 2 mugs with a good hot chocolate mix. Pay attention to the dad. what he does, what he likes so you can get something small in the basket just for him...You have time to figure that one out. I love to make gift baskets too...

Wine that goes well w/ Chocolate and Cheese..?
I want to make a gift basket for our work party and we are doing a white santa style gift pass out. (this is new to me) Well I was thinking of making a basket of wine and chocolates and cheese. Can anyone help me w/ a type of wine that goes well w/ chocolate and a good cheese that would match well w/ the wine? I would GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!! Thank you in advance for your suggestions! :)
--------------------
A heavy red goes well with chocolate. Something like a Cabernet Sauvignon, a Zinfandel, or even a Shirah (or Shiraz, if it's Australian). These reds tend to have almost chocolatey undertones in their aftertaste. And, they should go well with stronger cheeses. Something like brie or camembert (soft, spreadable cheeses), sharp cheddar, or even a Swiss.

What do you give your children for Easter?
I was thinking a basket filled with a little bit of candy and a small toy or two for my toddler. Don't lecture me about the candy, I think it's fine once in a great while. Do you give your kids large gifts or just small things like me?
--------------------
I give them large gifts, but I think small are fine. Also, I think candy is fine as long as it is monitored. That's what we do with our toddlers.

If you are giving home made gifts for Christmas, what are you giving, and to whom?
I'll bet there are quilt makers out there, as well as those who like to put up jelly or jam, or like to make food baskets for those on their list. Practical and useful things you don't have to exchange. I think this will be the most practical of Christmases for many of us, due to the economy.
--------------------
Every year, I make and give my brothers and sisters something homemade. I aways make brandy balls and cookies and something else. I've made Christmas tree ornaments, jewelry boxes, and huntring vests. This year it's going to be oven mitts and potholders with Christmas pattern. I want to send them early so they can use them before Chritmas day. Dan

Which One Would You Choose?
With the Christmas Holidays right around the corner I was thinking about either one of two things.....1. Buying Gift Certificates/cards or 2. Ordering from this place I found at http://www.blackriverbaskets.com I am handicapped so it's hard to go to the stores, so PLEASE tell me which you would prefer and why......I like the Gift Baskets, for right now, they appear to be more personal, what do you think? I don't seem to have much luck with places like Overstock, Ebay so please don't recommend them....I am only interested in the Two Ideas I mentioned...Thank You
--------------------
Go with the Black River Baskets! I say that because the website looks good and so does the selection of items. There's nothing wrong with getting gift certificates, although nothing says it better coming from the heart when YOU actually go out and get your own choice of a gift just for them instead of giving them the freedom to do it. They'll thank you in the long run for it. It's the thought that counts, right?

Recommendations for good, youthful maternity wear, body lotions, accessories, etc?
A friend of mine who is a diligent birth control user just found out she is pregnant (I guess that's why they say it is only 99% effective). Although it came as a shock, she is handling the news well and excitedly getting ready for her new arrival. Since this was so unexpected and I am sure she is terrified, I would like to do a little something extra to show my support for her (obviously she already knows she has it), by putting together a series of gift baskets with stuff to help her get through her pregnancy comfortably and in style. Of course I will be getting stuff for the baby too, but I want these baskets to be treats just for her. Does anyone have any recommendations for clothing boutiques (online or otherwise), lotions, specialty foods, etc. or anything else that they really enjoyed/helped them during their pregnancy? If it helps at all, my friend is smaller and in her early 20s. I would like to find clothing that is age appropriate and that she would be comfortable wearing. She is also very body conscious, so stretch mark lotions and pregnancy workout tape recommendations would be great as well.
--------------------
That is so sweet of you! Don't jump into clothing stuff just yet, your not sure how big she'll get. I am 35 weeks pregnant, and someday you can't even tell. As far as lotions, get her some stretch mark lotion. It is sold at Walmart and Motherhood Maternity. Foods, "preggie-pops" they sell those online or at babiesrus. The help with the nausea the first 3 months or so. My fiance bought me a pregnancy work out DVD and I love it. There are a lot of choices. Since you friend just found out, I recommend get her this set of DVDs that has four disks, one for each of the trimesters and one for post-pregnancy. I hope everything goes well!!

Diaper raffle at baby shower?
I keep going back and forth about this one. Showers that I have went to before had guest bring in a pack of diapers if they wanted to be entered in a raffle. Some of the winnings have been $50 gift cards, gift baskets with $40 value. Anyhow I'm not sure if this sounds greedy? I'm not going to insist the bring diapers. I was going to word on invites "To add a little extra glee and help the parents to be bring a package of diapers (any size) and be entered in a raffle" or I can simply put "Diaper Raffle" just plain and simple? Any suggestions? anyone else doing this? I'm not having just a diaper shower it's a baby shower with a diaper raffle.
--------------------
If all the invite said was "Diaper Raffle", I would have absolutely no clue what that meant. In my opinion, anything implying "raffle" on an invitation seems a little tacky, though I think your intentions are in the right place. :-) A baby shower I went to a few months ago had a Onesie contest where everyone brought in a cute / clever onesie. They hung all the onesies on a make-believe clothes line, and everyone at the shower voted on their favorite onesie. The winner got a $10 Starbucks card or something like that. I thought it was a cute thing to do at a shower.

Give her a grandchild. (i'm just kidding) A picture would be nice, seeing as she can't get a good picture of her son. You should get her a spa treatment for two. Then, if your lucky, she might invite you! Also, I'm sure she would like you, after all, a mothers happy when her child is happy.

I'm trying to promote a website platform in my area. Please help me brainstorm some ideas for a sales letter?
There are over 700 businesses that have a website in my area. A local website platform will benefit area businesses by offering their services to the public. The i-net offers a detailed first look about a business that phone books don't offer. I am offering free profiles & website listings to new & exisiting businesses in exchange for word of mouth advertising. An agreement has also been reached w/3 local papers & a radio station to advertise my site in exchange for services instead of paying advertising expenses. Income will be generated from participating businesses that can offer services in their area such as: delivering flowers & gift baskets, ordering gift certificates from local vendors (day spas, golf shops, restaurants), & looking at a menu before ordering your food online. Offering these services over the phone have proven to be successful in the past, & w/good marketing, the i-net will benefit these services through visualization. Please help me w/brainstorming

how long will banana bread keep unrefrigerated?
I'm doing baked goods for donation for gift baskets for soldiers coming home. They have to be turned in ahead of time for the baskets to be assembled and then they are going to be put in the soldiers' barracks rooms prior to their return. We don't know their exact arrival date, so it could be 7-10 days from it being baked before the soldiers would be home to consume them. I know the soldiers would love something that is something different from the ordinary from-a-mix-cookie, but I'm concerned that the banana bread being moist and sweet would mold before they got home to enjoy it. Any thoughts or ideas would be great.
--------------------
it would start drying out and attracting bugs after just a day, so i'd suggest packaging in plastic foil or airtight containers, and keep in a fridge.

They live on a small farm. There is a mother who is 38, and we are considering bringing her an apron from Anthropologie, which are about 38 dollars, and very nice. The husband is a driver, and he is 45, I don't know what to bring him. There is an 18 year old boy, and again, I don't know what to bring him. There is a 12 year old girl, should i bring her something like nail polish, or slippers( cute girly ones)? And last, there is an 8 year old girl, and I am thinking to get her something similar to what I get the 12 year old. And last, I am thinking to get them a family gift of linens or towels. My mom lived in a foreign country, and was poor when she was young, so she thinks towels would be nice. It is most likely that the family is very poor, so I will NOT be bringing candy or coffee, or gift baskets, I would like to bring something nice and useful. Also, I'm a girl and 14, if it makes a difference. thank you

8 year old = barbie doll; 12 year old = make up & girly things; 18year old = find out which sports he likes, in example, soccer, buy him a soccer jersey or a Lakers jersey if he likes basketball; husband = polo shirt; mother = summer dress. the kids would also appreciate name brand shirts and such. the 18 year old boy will also like Nike branded shoes.

I want to give my husband a just "because" gift. Any suggestions?
Something different from the usual wine baskets,cologne etc. Something unique but still says I love you.

That's very sweet of you. I think you should get him a gift certificate to his favorite store or if there's anything he's been hinting at wanting then you should get it for him. It's not easy to give specific suggestions because I don't know what types of things your husband likes but whatever you give from your heart I'm sure he will love it.
