Business Start-ups

From: Vivian T.

Mr. Dunn,

I found you on the minority Business Page. I am going to tell you a little bit about my business and hope that you can give me some advices.

I am a manufacturer of plastic surgery garments-post liposuctions, face lift, ect.. I have top quality fabric from a well known manufacture. However, i am not sure on where to start. It seems like the big fish has gotten this place monopolized. Please advise.

Thank you,

Vivian T.

There are several things, I can recommend, however, I think the best approach is for someone with a great deal of experience in this area working with you each step of the way as you build the business. You need the help of an organization called SCORE – Service Corps Of Retired Executives, a nonprofit association providing business counseling to small business owners. The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) also sponsors SCORE.

The SCORE Association is also a national, nonprofit association with 11,500 volunteer members and 389 chapters throughout the United States and its territories. The organization is composed of retired business executives with broad business experience, often in your specific business area. The SCORE business leaders have faced the same situations you do and are dedicated to helping all business owners or potential business owners-women and men- realize their entrepreneurial dream. The effective part of their program matches volunteers with small businesses that need expert advice. SCORE also offers free counseling services and workshops designed for those who want to go into business for themselves.

Their website address is http://www.score.org
