help needed - 05-12-2006, 03:40 PM

Hello Everybody

I am a young guy with a head full of ideas, I want to start up my own company and make it big like many others have, but I would be interested if anyone out there can help me with idea’s or share their knowledge on how I can break in to a European/ international market…
Points I would like to be helped with are
Venture capital
Financial aid for research and development
Help with copy right applications
Investments
EU finance?

I think to get everything going I will need around 300,000 dollars.

Any help or tips would be very much appreciated.
JK

Hey Jonny74,

If you dont mind me asking, how old are you? If you are as young as i think, then you would be surprised how many people are doing what you are.

If you have studied business studies, you will be aware of 2 sites called businesslink.gov.uk and direct.gov.uk. They are jam packed full of information, however, by the sound of things, you live in Sweden?

.... it still gives some very useful information.

The other thing which i can advise you on, from experience, is that you will need to have an absolutely SOLID pitch, business plan and business research.

Have you carried out any research? When contacting companiues and individuals, you CANNOT use the term "I think". Everything you state has to be backed up by evidence.

Having all of this information, you will still find it extremely difficult to get funding (if you are in education, and under the age of 18 with no experience working in a business field).

I have a business which i have started up, about 3 years ago, and need only £20,000 to start up and run the business for a whole year (excluding marketing). With an absolute solid plan, research (3 years it has taken me), people still do not want to invest becasue of my background and age. Despite this, my service has still not been introduced onto the market...

If you want to talk to me, please PM me, and i will be happy to give you some pointers if you are young, from experience...

Miro

I´d like to think im stil young but looking at ur age i see i am almost double your age

I will take a look at those sites and see if there is any information that can help me, even though i am in Sweden..maybe it is worth my while to move,...

i have a plan, i have the work i have carried out, i know there is a market for the software i have produced, and maybe sooner or later you yourself will be using it

Im curious as to what company you started up, i saw the home page---some thing with hair dressing ?


The sum of cash i mentioned is probally too much, but i am aiming for a lot higher then just the swedish market...

Thank you for your help ..
