How does a Real Estate Photography Business work? Does anyone have any experience doing something like this?
Nov 18th
I want to take pictures of homes for the real estate companies and make it into a business. Build a huge list of Realtor/Clients and charge a fair fee per home. Also, build a website so that it will help aid the realtors and potential buyers. Surely, this idea has already been thought of. Do you think this type of business would be profitable for a young person like myself? It wouldn’t cost that much to start?

When a business asks you at the checkout counter if you would like to give money to charity?
Nov 18th
When a business asks you at the checkout counter if you would like to give money to charity, can they then take the money you give and claim it as tax deductible for themselves?
I’ve always wondered this, they only ask for a dollar or two to go towards a certain charity, not enough to be tax deductible, but when it adds up, they have plenty money collected to make a tax deduction themselves. Can Canadian businesses make tax deductible charitable donations? If they can, I question their motives for holding such campaigns.
What are the first steps in starting a business?
Oct 15th
I want to start a re-sale shop. I already have the inventory and vague idea of the business from my previous research. But I need step by step help, like proposing a business plan, applying for a loan (I do have a substantial amount already saved), and steps to get permits. I don’t even know where to start. I have tried to google, but what I find is confusing. Any suggestions on where I can find a realistic, understandable, organized, or entrepreneur group support and direction?
