Need help starting a business

[Galilee77]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to be posting this thread as I am a new member. I apologize if it's not but I need some serious help. I'm trying to start up a computer software and multimedia company and I need (among other things) start-up capital and hardware. If anyone can give me some ideas I would greatly appreciate it. Just respond to this post or email me. Thanks again.

This post should go to Off Topic. Welcome to Anandtech.

Try a websearch for the federal government sites . They have great no-hassle info , and don't try to sell you crap that all the other so called "Help" sites do . Better yet , THE link

<<Just respond to this post or email me>> One thing is that even if this was in the right topic, how would we know his email address...?

depending on where you are planning to start this company up, you may want to check out your local governement's business bureau or chamber of commerce.

Usually, they can provide you with information about funding, business plans, basic help for free!!!

good luck

First, I'd like to thank everyone for your suggestions. I'm going to try to give a little more information about what I'm looking for but I just wrote a very long description and it was lost because I forgot to login. So my hands are hurting but here it goes. I have been to various banks in the past for the owners of the company (I'm just a representative) and was unable to give them all the information they required. Hopefully that has been remedied because I now have a very good business proposal and all the information that the banks required about the owners credit history and collateral. I have been having trouble finding the right organizations that offer grants to the multimedia and entertainment industry(ies). I am really touched by all the ideas that have been given so far and cannot express the greatfulness that I am feeling right now. You guys are great. Hopefully I'll soon have a business up and running that I can post promotions on here for (I hope that made sense). I just hope that the "anandtech effect" doesn't hit too hard (I've been reading some of the posts). Thanks again.
