    I would start a business of Theater. I actually have the business plan set. I'm just looking for investors.

    Those who invest they WILL undoubtedly receives what they have put back in, and then more....they might even end up receiving a 200% return for their investments! Honestly I've done the math!

    I'm just looking for investors who would actually invest 50,000! Their return would be $100,000! It's a gold mined, but I the idea is still on paper in a business plan, but I haven't actually met someone they would invest that much money....

    The question is.....would you invest, 100K into this business......

    IF SO....let's have lunch!

    I'M SO SERIOUS IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY!

    I would go to the bookkeeping business for individuals and small businesses. There is a major market for this type since small business owners initially hire an outside source or do their books themselves. Moreover, it is more cost-effective to outsource when you have a small working capital to work with. Moreover, it's less than 100K and you will have a steady stream of income. You can even work from home.

    Furniture store: because I already know how to do it profitably so I wouldn't feel like I was wasting $100K. I'd probably start it with $50K and sell the store in a few years.

    Also, $100K would be a nice nest egg for anybody with artistic pursuits in mind. I wouldn't mind doing photography full-time. $100K would provide a cushion until I could find outlets for my work.

    thats not enough money to start a business. Think of all your expences. Property alone would put you over the $100,000. Sorry bud

    Doesn't really matter what the business is but I would highly lean towards a service based business. That's where the money is....manufacturing also but 100k won't get it.

    I'd fulfill my dream of opening my own Salon and Spa. I've always wanted to, and I'm great at what I do. I believe my passion for my work would enable me to be extremely successful at running my own business.

    I would say....based on a question asked on here last night....'Can anyone tell me how to build a portable wheelchair ramp?'.... I would put the money into designing, creating and producing that idea.
