business opportunities

A business opportunity , or bizopp , involves the sale or lease of any product, service, equipment, etc. that will enable the purchaser-licensee to begin a business. The licensor or seller of a business opportunity usually declares that it will secure or assist the buyer in finding a suitable location or provide the product to the purchaser-licensee. This is different from the sale of an independent business, in which there is no continued relationship required by the seller.

Examples of biz-opps classified advertisements are:

$3500 Weekly! Work From Home!
Real Results Now! $360k 1st Year! No Gimmicks!
$$ Make $1000+ per week... EVERY WEEK! $$
Hottest Opportunity Ever (Numbers don't lie)!!
Get 96 sites for $7,795. Then Retire! Call 1-800-XXX-XXXX.
Many People Earn $36,000/year in Income, But . . . Very Few Earn $30,000/year working only five-six hours per week.
Access products at below wholesale pricing you can sell for HUGE profits!!

The use of a toll-free telephone number makes it difficult for customers to immediately identify the company's geographical location. Moreover, a company can own many 1-800 numbers, using a different one for each area in which it advertises. In the event of consumer complaints, this thwarts investigators from recognizing the connection between biz-ops listings in various newspapers.

A common type of business opportunity involves a company that sells bulk vending machines and promises to secure suitable locations for the machines. The purchaser is counting on the company to find locations where sales will be high enough to enable him to recoup his expenses and make a profit. Because of the many cases of fraudulent biz-ops in which companies have not followed through on their promises, or in which profits were much less than what the company led the investor to believe, governments closely regulate these operations.

Multi-level marketing is often presented as a business opportunity, such as the phrase, "Let me tell you about an incredible ground-level business opportunity."

In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission receives complaints and helps coordinate enforcement action against fraudulent business opportunities.

A business opportunity consists of four integrated elements all of which are to be present within the same timeframe (window of opportunity) and most often within the same domain or geographical location, before it can be claimed as a business opportunity. These four elements are:

A need
The means to fulfill the need
A method to apply the means to fulfill the need and;
A method to benefit

With anyone of the elements missing, a business opportunity may be developed, by finding the missing element. The more unique the combination of the elements, the more unique the business opportunity. The more control an insititution (or individual) has over the elements, the better they are positioned to exploit the opportunity and become a niche market leader.

Sudip D replied: "HelloThere is a real income system through which you can earn life long. They do not promise to make you a millionaire over night but the income is steady and slowly builds up to substantial amount. If you just register with them, you pay a small one time fee and that's it. Even if you never go back to their site their system keeps on paying you automatically. You do not even have to claim your money; it comes automatically to your account every month.But if you are a serious man and you are in a position to refer people to the system then you can really make real money through this system. But bear in mind that even if you do not refer anyone you still get paid every month. So either way you get paid. I would say it's the best of both worlds you can get in a single systemVisit them at to get to know their system is details and register for a secure future.Regards,Sudip"

HumbleAdvisor replied: "One of the characteristics of a true entrepreneur is the ability to improvise and find ways to make things happen. If you dont have money, see if you can get a loan or connect a deal with suppliers so you can sell something. You can also arrange for something to paid in 30 days, so you have time to sell it and make your money on the margin. Many entrepreneurs use their credit card to cover expenses and costs in the short term."

Joe T replied: "Basically find what you enjoy and find a way to make it into a business. And trust me it doesn't take alot of money to make money. I started out with only $200 for my first business and now make that in a day or two. The key is to market yourself with the service you are offering and do your best to please the customer."

G B replied: "Business is like a courtship; you either love it or hate it. An Entrepreneur is creative and resourceful. Yes there are some free opportunities out there but if you want a great opportunity think about this:Company- How long has it been establishedRipoff Report- investigate it to see if it’s the Associate or companyBetter Business Bureau- see if there are any complaintsCredibility- is it a public company Marketability- what is the market share/ and how many companies are doing itSupport- regional, telephone, internetRisk- low capitalDoes it match up with your goals- How many products or services do you have the opportunity to sellCommission- How are you going to get paid? How often? Bonuses?Incentives If you like some additional information just to see if my business might benefit you email me at"

ashok replied: "Read this quickly! There's a lunatic on the internet called Jon Davies and he's giving away an e-book that explains how to turn your computer in to a virtual ATM.He's giving it away for absolutely nothing.What's even more incredible is the fact that his system converts up to 90% of visitors in to sales. It's being described as the "perfect" system. And it's free.I think he's actually made a mistake, and when he realises, he'll start charging at least $197 for it. But for now, you can download your own copy of it for nothing at all.He's genuinely doing something that no one else has ever been brave enough to do before.I'm not going to waste any more time in this email...........I'm off to use his system for myself.I strongly suggest you take a look. If you don't like it, at least you haven't lost anything, but only a fool would walk away from this.If you don't believe me; take a look.All the bestAshok Kumar"

Sweetie replied: "shoestring biz: maid service, childcare, petcare, poop scoop, garden care, courier service, any service biz that you're talented at and ebay."

Sufi replied: "restaurant franchises.there are many legitimate franchises.if you see it on the street (sonic or mcdonald's) then it's probably legit.if it sounds too good to be true then it is.why don't you start your own business...landscaping, cleaning houses, medical transcription, whatever you know how to do.there are legitimate business opportunities, but they are usually a LOT OF WORK and many of them require a lot of selling. Most of them are scams. The info that really works is: start your own enterprise which is really really hard orget a regular job so you can finance starting a business on the side - doing taxes or making websites or....there's no free lunch or easy jobs that make a lot of money.even real estate and flipping houses is a lot of work and requires capital."

Keer T replied: "Hi.If you are a regular user of the internet, you would have heard about the concept of home working. This is an exiting one as you can earn money while at home and it is indeed true! Even if you do not know much about the computers and know only the basics you can still do a lot of jobs."

Beauty_Queen replied: "When you ask this kind of questions, people will tell you something like that "sure ... check this website ... I make $2000/month with this system" ... and they give you their affiliate link. Actually, you will never know for sure what's work or not. Everybody seems to know the secret to make you rich ... but the secret is that you have to do some soul searching to know what you really want and then take action. You may fail several times ... with your patience, perseverance, persistence, you will find your niche. It will not happen overnight but it will happen if you have faith and you invest a fair amount of time in it. You will make it if you believe that you will!"

stannas replied: "Have a look at this.or email me and i will guide you to it and answer all your questions about the business."

HunterPence replied: "Try this site: it can make you good money and it is easy to do. There are no fees and it pays out every Friday. It is one of the few work at home websites that has made me good money consistently. It makes me $1200-$1500 a month. Or try one of these other good work from home websites on this site:"

Greg R replied: "I do affiliate marketing online. I've been doing it for a year and I'm getting ready to quit my regular job, as I am now making over $10k per month. However, it takes dedicated, persistent work, at least a few thousand of initial working capital, decent organizational skills, and a healthy dose of motivation, but you can make a living at it if you stick with it.But that is a business.Starting a business requires a lot of work and dedication. You cannot start a business this week and expect to be earning a good profit next week.Employees tend to have a "job" mindset whereby they worked this week, so they expect to see results this week (i.e. a paycheck this week).In business, you don't see results like that. Take, for instance, starting a new restaurant. You'll first have to choose a location. The most successful restaurants have their own location, with their own parking lots.If you wanted to open a restaurant like that, you'd spend a couple of months looking for the right location. Then you'd spend thousands of dollars for an architect to help design the plans with you. Then you'd spend thousands of dollars getting your plans approved by the local authorities.And then, after all that, you'd be approved to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on hiring a firm to actually build your building. And after that, you'd spend tens of thousands of dollars to install the interior decorations.And then you'd spend thousands of dollars hiring employees and training them, as well as having them prepare for the grand opening.And then, after over a year and spending over a half million dollars, you'd be ready to open the doors and start earning your first dollar.I say this to illustrate my point: businesses take time and money up front to develop. In the longer period of time, this time and money invested up front will pay off. But businesses take time to develop!It is not like being an employee where you get instant results, meaning work this week, get paid this week.Business is not like that. Know beforehand what to expect so that you don't face disappointment and quit later on.I wish you much business success, if you choose to go that route."

Tessie replied: "I suggest an internet business is a way to create another income stream because:1. Require small to zero capital2. Get started right away3. Work from home or anywhere in the world as long as there is an internet connection4. Has unlimited potential to earn money5. No age requirementsWhat you need to do is to learn about the internet business as much as possible to discover whether it is for you and what your strategy is. There is free information around.Good luck."

Richard H asked: "I have been told that if there are people who earn money by internet bussines opportunities, it is because they are good at fooling people.So, are all those internet business opportunities a scam? What's your opinion?"

Vladimir B replied: "DO YOU HAVE A GOAL Lion in Sahara has a goal, what that my be is not always that obvious , well one day he my want to have nice fresh meal, next day perhaps a drink of some clean water, the day after maybe a little sleep his next goal my be find a mate. Can you see the point in lion’s life he has a set of goals first to catch a prey, secondly kill the unfortunate catch and the last goal be happy with full belly. The lion has no choice in the matter the goal setting is in its genes without the goal in his make up there would be no success or even life for lion. Humans have progressed beyond hunting for food in bush, or Sahara. But in food hutting there is a goal would you agree. So the in periods gone by the goals were somewhat simplistic, but never the less it has it massage for modern counterparts. Human progress from simply hunting and food gathering was accomplished not without a desire to survive and of course have easier and more prosperous life. The human progress in education, technology, medical discoveries, engineering or travel to space has it’s seeds planted, to be firstly having vision and a goal without it anything would never happen. What is a goal? Goal is an objective, a purpose, aim, point or endeavor. The goal has to be set in understandable and achievable time. Action taken to bring the dream into being is part of system in thinking and process. The goal has first be established and acted upon. Without goals millions of people wonder through life without even realizing that they don’t have any goals to aspire to and still wonder why an earth they are poor. Food is one of many essential mineral or a fuel of life’s goal setting is important on equal terms. Individual need to focus on where they want to be in five years time that in it self will stimulate goal setting as it is possible their situation will improve in five years time. A psychological barrier needs to be overcome with possible gain in future. There isn’t any point looking back to our past pains, because that is something we all want to escape especially if that past has not brought us any success. Like any large corporation needs to have a plan and plan ahead, by setting up objectives or a goal. Those large corporations plan well ahead with their objectives, fro 5, 10, 15 years. They visualize the future in clear precise manner. You are as individual need to think plan like large corporations, visualize your future where would you like to be in next five or ten years. Set clear answer in all your departments work or business, home department, social department.1)Work & business Department 5 years from nowWhat income do you desire in ten years? What level of responsibility do you look for?What prestige does seek from your work or business?2)Home Department 5 years from now What level of standard do you aspire to?What kind of residence do you want to provide for yourself and your family? What kind and where will be your next vacation?What level of income will you give away to charity?3)Social department 5 years from nowWhat kind of friends do you desire to have?What social groups do want to join with? What community position do you look to hold?What worthwhile cause do you want to be champion of?Al of us has a dream some are bigger then others, of what we really want to do. But few of us actually capitulate to a dream or desire instead to surrender to dreams we instead murder it here are the reason whey the dream is put into waste been. 1)Self deprecation many people say I want to represent my country in football but say I don’t like to train or like the coach. 2)Security – I am secured where I am which jus about trashes your goal. 3)Competition – the field is already so overcrowded.4)Parental Dictation – You have heard hundreds of people say to young people I want to become a plumber but the parents say they would like their children to do this. 5)Family responsibility – The attitude well I have the family now and I can’t change now. It is quite amazing the more successful a person is the easier it is for them to work on regular basis for more then 40 hours per week. The successful person has the energy fueled by the goal. The bigger the goal in the eyes, the more they see, and more energy one has. The point is this; the energy increase, multiplies when goal is set and work toward the goal. It is quite amazing the goal entrenched deep in your mind you will receive to energy to drive toward your accomplishment.What not to do in 30 days improvements guide. What not to do?1)Putting things off till tomorrow 2)Negative language 3)Watching television for more then 60 minutes per day. 4)Gossip Obtain those habits. 1)Examine your appearance each and every morning.2)Plan your day’s work a day before. 3)Complement people on every opportunity.
