Project Description

The first step in creating a multi-millionaire computer business for Bill Gates is to do your homework. Some ways to do this are : study the research are what niches might be unexplored; talk to other business owners in the area, (especially computer business and use their information to decide how our business might be structured to address the available markets; ask friends or even conduct a poll about what the community members would want to see in a computer factory). The second step is to put together a business plan. The business plan should be a formal document describing our formal venture; it will state our goals, why we think those goals are achievable and a strategy to reach them.

We need to comply with local zoning ordinances and pay attention to tenant improvements we will have to do, such as repairing the factory work area.

This money will come from three primary sources : the United States government , investors and lenders. Achieving a balance between these three sources is crucial to the financial health of our business. We must prepare to put some of our own money into our business. Lenders like to see this, because it shows them have a vested interest in not defaulting on our loan. It’s essential we attract money from investors. That we get in touch with friends or venture capitalists and convince them that our business is a promising investment. When investors give us money, they
