How can I save time acquiring merchandise for my new thrift store startup?

QUESTION:

I’m starting thrift store. Should I just rely on searching for used clothing from garage sales, auctions, and other thrift stores? Or are there any types of businesses that specifically sell used clothing for startup thrift stores? I understand that searching for the used clothing is part of the businesses, but I’d rather have a better system in place than going out constantly to such places. Any advice or creative ideas would be helpful.

Can I post aricles I find on the web on my website without breaking copyright laws?

QUESTION:

I’m starting a website business on pet care.  I need to be able to use articles on my site as customer/visitor information on pet health, etc.  My only source for these articles would be the web, but I’m not sure how copyright or plagiarism applies if I use articles that I search for and put them on my site.  Any information on this would be very helpful.  Thanks!

Do I need to register as a foreign business operating in Florida?

QUESTION:

I am forming a business wherein I will do freelance software development. All I need is myself and a computer, so I can be location independent. My hometown (in Florida) is expensive when it comes to starting a business so I was going to form a LLC in Delaware instead.  Do I need to register as a foreign business operating in Florida?

Florida statute 608.501 §1 states that a foreign LLC cannot conduct business within Florida until it files all the necessary paperwork, but 608.501 §2i states that conducting interstate business is not considered conducting business within Florida. Furthermore, 608.501 §2c states that foreign LLCs maintaining bank accounts in Florida does not constitute conducting business either. Read More...

You don’t have to be a top chef to see that our current economy has turned many restaurants into hell’s kitchens. In an industry where 60-80 percent of sales are attributed to repeat customers, it’s no wonder. Even their best customers are dining out less often and spending less when they do, forcing restaurants to trim operating costs to the bone. Read More...
