jagblazer01 Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Make sure you do quality work...small shops really get advertising by word of mouth.

Eclipsebooom Posted April 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 thats one thing that we are gonna do and charge a little less than normal starting out especially since the local shop here Dreamworks Motorsports was gonna charge one of our current customers a basic custom ported box-$600 they knock so many people over the head with prices we figure if we do it for alot cheaper that will help with word of mouth advertising Quote Alpine CDA-9886 2x DC lvl4 15s SoundStream PCA2000D 6 cubic feet tuned 32hz Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Gutta Trash Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Get a tax I.d. from the IRS it is free and you can use it to become a distributor and lower your prices. Also once you get the tax i.d. you can open an LLC. for about $1,000 with legal zoom., which means a limited liability company, if your garage burns down and a customer gets severely hurt or if their car catches fire etc.. you personally can not be sued , only the estate of the LLC. I would do this ASAP and get insurance, if you or your buddy are former military or either of your parents are, you can possibly become a USSA customer (they are a bank) and you can get 1 mill. annual business insurance from them for $69 a month (that is cheaper than anywhere.)

Reallunacy Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Find a few good brands and call them up and see if you can get a small discount to get you going. When people go to shops, they prefer to not have to have all their product ordered in afterward. Please do quality work. Also make a myspace and facebook account for your company. Keep some online and physical albums of your work, and make sure you get the customers permission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all of this is correct. If you own a business of any kind you can still lose everything you have due to negligence. The insurance company is USAA. You really need to do a business plan and if you are needing funding this will give you and the financial institutions ALL of the information they need.Here is a great place to start: http://www.sba.gov/smallbusinessplanner/index.html To do something like this you may want to contact local Small business assistance services that should be able to be found quote easily. You will also most likely need a lawyer to draw up paperwork that has to do with compensation and who is doing what in your business. Everything needs to be talked about so there will be no mis-communications. And remember 8 out of 10 new businesses fail the first year the other 2 rarely make a profit in the first 8 years and it is a lot of stress. Good Luck!!
