"Dad giving me $100k to start a business" follow up...

[MaximusPlatypus]

Well, turns out it's $250k... The only catch is that I need to present a feasible business plan that is likely to succeed.

Never have I needed misc's help more than now. What is a possie business to start in the 100 - 250k region? Ideas I'm bouncing include a Tim Horton's franchise on Highway 1 (popular trucker stop location with no food/coffee outlet).. Or a tanning salon (good location, dude I know had a highly successful tanning salon in this area before he handed the business to his father who ran it into the ground).

Anyone got ideas? May track down and paypal cash to person giving a suggestion the works out (lol, srs, but prob wouldn't be for a year or so).

Thx misc g'nite cya tomorrow

[hangman_27]

wouldn't do tanning salon with the new taxes on it.

i'm not going to lie, i'm jelly.

[qPaperTigerp]

don't do anything niche (eg tan salon) unless you've had experience doing it or you are cooperating with someone in said field

not sure if tim hortons tiny portions appeal to truck drivers

[hardgainer91]

Can't really go wrong with a tim horton's franchise in canada. Even though the coffee and baked goods are **** now, canadians eat up their marketing because it's kinda part of the culture lol.

yeah the misc is definitely the best place to come if you want business advice

[Dom1992]

tbh, i bet you cud get the best ROI on either classical stocks/bonds/commodities or start some online import/export business.

I'd give you a valid idea that i'm working on as my final year project for my Mchem in chemistry, but then again i'm not an idiot.

My business plan would be taking the money to an experienced, well respected financial advisor/stock broker and telling him you want a 6% return.

[Freek314]

LOL, are you fukkin srs, OP? Your dad is giving you TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS and you can't even come up with a good business plan for it?!?

Dude, you're not cut out for fukking business, then. No matter what we suggest you will fail, because you lack the fukkin nuts to come up with your own ideas. If I had fukkin $2500 I'd have a recording studio and indie label going RIGHT FUKKIN NOW! And guess what? I know how to write my OWN business plan and come up with my OWN innovative ideas without having to come on the fukking misc and ask people I don't even KNOW for advice on how to run MY business!

You are a complete fukking failure, and I hope your father can look you in the eye after you fuk up all of his money.

[scyyy]

I think going with a franchise of some sort is a really good idea, especially since it's your first business.

[kebab69]

supplement store?

To be fair if you can't get together $2500 then you're a loser as well bro.

I'm mad that this little ******* gets an opportunity I would kill for and he's gonna piss it all away.

I second this.

How much capital is needed for a McDonalds franchise? Thinking about it, it might well be a lot more than 250k :/

take away 2% for inflation
another 1% for his fee

cool you're left with 3%

Well I'm sorry I don't have my family handing me money. If that makes me a loser then so be it. Come to Alabama and see how well you do.
