I need an entrepreneur to answer some questions for me please?

This is for a class I am taking and I need some answers. Please include the name of the business too. Thank you so much.

How did you get your business started?

Was it hard to get started?

Did you have any trouble getting the resources to start the business?

How much capital did you need to first start?

Was the loan process hard? /If you had to take out a loan?



Made a small stuffed dragon as a costume accessory for a science fiction show. Met someone who sews, we got a dealers table at a later convention and sold stuffed dragons

Nope, applied for a mobile sellers permit from the Dept. of Revenue, paid $15, and were in business. Needed to file a once a year sales tax form in January, and used a Schedule C on our taxes.

Got on a mailing list for discount coupons to the JoAnn Fabrics store. Searched out local sellers of stuffing (buy in bulk!) and got our bead/eye supplies in bulk at the local independent owned craft store (cut the price by 50% that way).

I think our biggest purchase was a bolt of fabric for $50. I don't bat an eye at that now.

No loan. We used the income to purchase more supplies.

We were Dragons Grotto, she went her own way after 5 years, the business was disbanded. I reapplied for a sellers permit under Falcons Mew and expanded to other stuffed toys, put up a website, did SCA events and hooked up with another business person to sell wholesale to them.

Anyone know about those "Small Biz Books" for business plans?

I'm thinking about buying one of the Small Biz Books I saw in Entrepreneur magazine. Are they a great resource in guiding me to a certain business start up?
