What services?

Start a brokerage company.

Sell loans/mortgages/insurance. Prehaps a lettings/travel agency/franchise etc etc... a middle man company.

With services, 'all' you need is a reasonably good looking office with a nice sounding address/mail box. Probably couldn't start a products company with £10,000 as you'd need to buy in the products, do extensive research and marketing, equip your store and pay rent and rates... Unless you stick to the web and mail order and dropship your goods. Services all you have to do is pay rent and plan your marketing... thats after doing a course in what ever industry you're looking at, starting small and then recruiting people to work for you, even then you could have them on commission only so they're ''self employed'' so as long as you bring them business you don't need to pay them directly, without making some money first that is.

More money and less hassle in services.

Yeah Yeah... a 'service' could be classed as a 'product', we're not in the philosophy room and theres nothing tangible in services.

Theres plenty of things you could do with £10,000 but it'd be a tough haul. Could fund an invention or two and hope for the best. Whaddya say Shemsi? .lol.

*Mumbles something about pyramid marketing schemes and how £10,000 would go a long way advertising for recruits in mainstream newspapers*


 

Oh thanks. That sounds good. I did a Import and Export course with intention of starting my own Import and Export business but I have no idea what I want to import or export! I'm left with a qualification I've never used because I don't want to work as a clerk for a shippers which is boring as hell.

How on Gods green earth can you not know what to Import and Export!?  As ''Filter Dip.Int.Trd'' the world is your oyster!

Why not trade Pan-African wise?

Can't tell you whats going on cause my thumb is off the pulse but theres plenty you can do there. Thats what I intend to get into when I've finished doing what I'm doing now. Probably best if you start out in something you enjoy doing, something you know about... if you like clothes then trade clothes for a while, if you like phones then trade those.

Theres plenty of places on the net you can check out for contacts that goes without saying. 

http://www.alibaba.com/ -  http://www.totaltrader.com/ ... as said I've been busy so I'm not on the ball but there are loads of trade portals you can check out.

Haven't started my course yet but I intend to as soon as I've gotten my first business off the ground (yawn). Been into In/Ex for quite a while but not properly as of yet.

Where did you take the course and how was it? 

Sounds like you're lost for choice. .lol.

Thanks for making me feel worse than I already feel I just have no idea what I want to deal with. I thought about pharmaceuticals but have no experience in that area. Then I thought about trading in raw materials in Africa because I would like to live there,  but I don't know what! I'm just at a lost. So I have a qualification that I'm not using.

I studied for the ACIT with the Institute of Export and expecting to do the diploma after some years of experience.

Thats ok

I just have no idea what I want to deal with. I thought about pharmaceuticals but have no experience in that area. Then I thought about trading in raw materials in Africa because I would like to live there,  but I don't know what! I'm just at a lost. So I have a qualification that I'm not using.

I'm sorry, you sound like a nice person and all but I'm a bit weary of people at times.

What made you think of Pharmacuticles?

I don't trust that industry at all or the raw materials industry personally. Guess they're alright if its legit... maybe its my revolutionary mindset but there are nicer industries to get into and you really need to know your stuff to be trading those. Their drugs don't help anyone. Watch, ''Constant Gardener'' for a low down on the Pharmacuticles industry and a few documentories on Soweto for the raw materials industry. Things aint right there, some unscruplious peoples working in those arenas all too happy to rip people (mainly us) off.

Theres going to be a problem with 'those' dyam w.south africans soon. That totaltrader is one of their portals, only posted it up as a referance, should've checked the details. Bstards are like vampires. People need to wake up and see what they see in Africa before its too late... if you want to trade in drugs and what ever they're drilling from the continent its them you'll be dealing with. Just checked out the site, shouldn't have posted it.

Anyway, you're the one with the qualification. My course is sitting in my room getting cold. You should start off with something you know about and move on from there. Electrical goods prehaps.

Just keep away from w.south africans.

What made me think of pharmaceuticals was I heard about the generic market where you can get cheaper drugs but the big boys make it dificult for poorer countries to buy. But I too am weary about this whole industry. I know its very fishy.

Don't want to put you off it was just an opinion.
