QUESTION:
I’m starting thrift store. Should I just rely on searching for used clothing from garage sales, auctions, and other thrift stores? Or are there any types of businesses that specifically sell used clothing for startup thrift stores? I understand that searching for the used clothing is part of the businesses, but I’d rather have a better system in place than going out constantly to such places. Any advice or creative ideas would be helpful.

You don’t have to be a top chef to see that our current economy has turned many restaurants into hell’s kitchens. In an industry where 60-80 percent of sales are attributed to repeat customers, it’s no wonder. Even their best customers are dining out less often and spending less when they do, forcing restaurants to trim operating costs to the bone.

QUESTION:
I’m starting to put together an outline for building my business plan, and I am looking for advice on market research.

I understand there are many research companies creating industry reports that are a great resource, but those are very expensive at $500-$2000 a report. I’d appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.

QUESTION:
I run a small FB app that is getting a bit of attention, and I’m constantly being emailed asking if I’d like to sell. I don’t want to at present. I am really loving building it up,
and I know it will grow fast and be worth a lot (well, I hope). Either way, how does it work? A couple of people have asked about investment, and I honestly don’t know how it works. What does one do in this situation? How do you know what your app is worth? What are the ups and downs of investment versus outright selling, and what if they want
you to stay on?
