I want to try to open up my own business

I want my own business. So I write my business proposal to try and receive a grant. I want to try to open up my own business. I need to try and apply for a grant. I realize I need to write up a business proposal. Once I do this, what is my next step? Do I send it to the grant people? Where do I go from there? How do I get started? Please help me with your great experience.

There is no necessity to have a person called Grant involved in your business. See how you go working on your own first

What sort of business are you looking at starting?

Why do you need a Grant?

From my understanding, in Brisbane anyway, you make the bulk of your money on Fri and Sat nights (and just hope you don't have too much down time for the vomit clean or someone belt your driver over the head for his takings). They run the cars into the ground - up to round 1,000,000 kilometres on a Falcon or Commodore, with a regular oil change, a gearbox or 2 over that time. Fuel would be a big cost but I don't think the vehicles soak up much other maintenance - they just run rough There's a huge problem getting good drivers and those prepared to work the drunks run due to the abuse they receive.

I can think of better ways to make a living

Oops ! Too many windows open Teach me to post on InvestEd when I haven't had a red wine

Sorry. Maybe Karlahaze could consider a taxi business and make it look like I meant it
