Starting a new business isn’t hard—thousands upon thousands of people do it every year. Every one of these new companies expects success. Their owners certainly wouldn’t start with the intention of failing. However, the Small Business Administration says that two years after startup, one-third of all new businesses are out of business. At the five-year mark 56% of them are gone. So, starting isn’t hard—succeeding is what is hard. Before you start a business you need to decide that you are going to be part of that 44%, learn why and how they succeed, and take the necessary steps to be sure that your success happens. A major reason many new businesses fail is unrealistic expectations about what the business will produce. Their owners dream that they will “make a ton of money,” work fewer hours per week, and have to answer to no one (besides their customers).

The important point is that thousands of people have started their own successful small businesses, enjoyed a comfortable lifestyle, supported their families, and given good jobs to the people who worked for them. But, as the anvil salesman in The Music Man said, “You gotta know the territory.” Do you know your territory and market? You must know how to make and install quality seamless gutters. You must know how to estimate and price your product in a competitive market. You must be able to hire and supervise other people who will work for you. You must be able to market your company and sell contractors or homeowners on buying your services. You must be able to manage a business. These are all things you can learn, if you are willing to work at it. Often regional junior Colleges offer courses specifically aimed at people who want to learn how to start and run their own business. The seamless gutter industry is not a new technology just being introduced into the housing market. It is a mature product with a mature market. In virtually every region there are already people doing this kind of work. How are you going to find a place for your company in the market? How are you going to differentiate your company? Lower prices (and lower profits), better quality, some specialized market niche? What? And how?

A common route is to acquire the necessary equipment and tools and set yourself up in business on a small scale. A good way to start is to sit down, think about what you want to do, and develop a business plan. This will force you to think about various business issues and make some very specific decisions instead of just having vague ideas in your head.These include: • What is your business concept? What is the market you are going to try to serve? How will you structure your business? What is your strategy for success? Who will do the marketing and the scheduling? Who will do the work? Will you work alone, or hire employees to assist with the work? Who will pay the bills, keep the books, write the checks, and file the tax reports? Who will handle these chores if you get sick or injured? • What is the current marketplace, how big is it? Who are the customers and your competition? How much of the market do you think you can win? How will you do it? • How much money will it take? What equipment do you have to buy (trucks, trailers, gutter machine, other machines, hand tools, handling equipment, office equipment, supplies, gutter coil, other inventory, etc.)? How rapidly can you capture jobs and start earning income? How rapidly can you grow your customer base and income? How will you pay yourself—and your employees—during the startup period? Are your assumptions realistic? Who do you see as your customers? General contractors? Roofing contractors? Homeowners? How are you going to make them aware of your company and get their business? How will you publicize your company? Advertising, flyers, signs, radio, TV, direct contact selling?

Realistically, it will take a while to capture business for your new company. You must have the capital available to cover expenses (including your payroll and your own living expenses) during this ramp-up period. If the housing industry is currently on the rise, and existing gutter production capacity in your area is unable to meet the growing demand, you may rapidly capture business and achieve a good cash flow. What happens if the housing market slows down? How will it affect you? You might want to ask your financial adviser to perform a sensitivity analysis to forecast how a downturn in the building market might affect your business income and your ability to pay the monthly bills. You will need the help of a lawyer to determine the business structure (sole proprietorship, partnership, or corporation) and handle the legal issues of setting up the business. An accountant or tax adviser will be needed to help you make decisions regarding accounting procedures and the federal, state, and local tax issues. What about Workmen’s Compensation and general business insurance? What about licenses? And then there is a finance company to obtain the loans required to support your purchase of equipment and your business operations during the startup period and beyond. And, if you are married, you will undoubtedly need the strong support of your spouse. Starting a business is a complex process, but thousands of other entrepreneurs have done it and are part of the 44% living a comfortable life running their own businesses and making their contribution to the economy of these United States. Before you jump in, do your homework—but come on in, the water’s fine.

A ViewSonic PJ506D SVGA (800×600) 4:3/16:9 2000 lumens business projector is going for 500 with a mail free screen and mount offer.

An InFocus In72 WVGA (852×480) 900 lumens home theater projector is going for about the same refurbished with no extras.

I have read that I really should get a home theater projector rather than a business projector like the 506D, but the lumens scares me.

I am projecting on an 80"screen with blinds and curtains closed. no lights. still some ambient light.

Which will be better. I am going to use it the a really nice DVD player, Wii and Home theater PC. No interest in HD DVDs for atleast 3-4 years when I will prob upgrade this anyway.

I am confuse with your question. Are you saying you can afford a $2000 projector or can’t afford?

Try using a home theater projector if you can. The bussiness projectors are not meant for movies. They are meant for slide shows and a small movie clip.

Now you can get a decent Epson projector that is around $3500 Canadian dollars with a $300 rebate right now. I believe the model is the Epson 1080. Epson makes a decent projector.

Ofcourse you can opt to get the cheaper projector. I have personally seen the Epson 1080 and it does a great job on the big screen.

There are also some decent screen around. I think you should provision more for your screen though. Try to think $1000 for a screen. They a decent Draper screen would serve you well.

On the other hand you can also paint the wall matte white and it should work as well. You can try looking for the "goo"-this stuff is supposedly able to serve as a screen.

There are numerous translators who set up shop as self- employed full fledged freelancers but few who have the guts to turn their business to an all round translation agency. This should not be surprising because establishing a full- scale agency is taking a giant step compared to launching a profitable freelance practice. Nevertheless the intellectual and financial rewards in starting one can be quite solid. Before starting your own professional and an all-round translation business, there are some factors you should take into account. These are:

ü Internal organization of your agency

If your dream is to establish a language translation agency, then it would be advisable to find yourself a competent partner. This is unless you are prepared to start hiring staff right away. This in most cases is not a recommendable procedure. The partner you are looking for should be an individual whose qualities should be ideally similar to yours. Separation of tasks should be laid down to remove any potential conflict of interest.

ü All –round Translation business

When we talk about an all round translation business we basically means the scope of your product which is language translation. As a single freelancer, the output will be confined to one language which you are competent in but as an agency you will be required to offer your customers with a whole range of different languages and discipline. These disciplines includes commercial, technical, medical and legal documentations. This means your range of products will only be limited by the available staff.

ü You should have by your sides a good Business Plan

The first step you take is to gather as much information as you can concerning all aspects of translation business. Afterwards, come up with a good business plan. You can find good business samples at your local branch Chambers of Commerce or download them over the internet. Structure your plan as you find on the samples. The main advantage of having a viable business plan is that it will aid you to come up with real estimates of the capital needed to start up your agency. If you find your estimate exceed your private available fund you will be able to go to the bank and present your plan for further funding.

ü Another area of consideration is marketing

Yes your agency may have come off the ground, but where do you get your clients? Your first priority should be systematically recruiting your clients. One very helpful tool in achieving this, is through direct marketing. There are two direct marketing strategies available. They are;

i. Internet direct marketing

This is normally through such cheap and reliable methods such as search engine optimization or what is generally known as SEO. This is a term used to refer to various techniques through which your presence over the net is felt in order for your prospective clients to find you and your agency.

ii. Database direct marketing

This is a more expensive method of client’s acquisition. You are supposed to create a database for all prospective clients in different governmental and private organizations or companies. An effective database should contain at least a 1,000 companies you can source clients from and should contain details of the person to contact. Your database should be kept up-to-date for it to be effective.

ü You should have a reliable network of suppliers

Suppliers to your agencies are normally your freelance translators. Others includes the bank, the accountant, the printer and the graphic designer to name but a few.

ü High quality team of translators

Translators are obvious the most important asset in an translation agency. Freelancers will usually present themselves to assist in your agency as soon as they get to know you have a translation agency .One can also recruit them though the normal recruitment channels. Some of the best places to recruit your translators is the internet. Another important source is through your own network of buddies and colleagues as mostly, they are highly educated speakers of the native languages
