2 Comment(s)With such a tough economy, I am surprised so many people are asking for such high start up funds. It makes me question how many people are legit on here, and not here to just rip off private investors. I'm an at home mom with something to work hard for -- my family! I will do whatever it takes to succeed for them. I am looking to start a home-based and on-location children's photography business. As a social mom, I already have tons of customers waiting! My business has a very low start up cost of only $5,000. I want to do everything digitally so that moms can have edited pictures of their kids the same day! Also, a unique feature of my business is shared rights to the photos so that they can have the photos printed themselves wherever they choose. If you are interested in talking, please email me at sugarsnapphoto@gmail.com Thank you for your time and interest.
