    Hello Fellow Scrappers

    Hello all,

    I am new to the forums and new to the idea of being a small business, but am not new to the scrappers life. I plan on taking the money that I make at my normal job and investing it into my small business, and then anything the business makes stays in the business, minus gas expenses. *complains about prices*

    Any ways, I am looking for ideas to be successful as a small business and a Scrapper. My business plan is simple, Get steady customers for pick-ups. (e.g. Local Businesses and the such) And also get referrals. Any suggestions on threads that would be helpful would be much appreciated.



    P.S. Also still thinking of a name... So hard to find one I like...

    James

    Welcome from the NW subs of Chicago. Your best advise, read these forums. There is a wealth of information here already. This place has been the best "real world" experience I have found to brush up my knowledge.

    Business names for sole prop could work out best with your last name in them, but if Incorporating, think of some wording that resembles the work "you" do or offer.

    Welcome and good luck to you. May we all prosper.
