How do I start my own Printing Business/Graphics Company?
-
I really want to start my own printing company. More like an advertising center. Where we cater services like printing tarpaulin, t-shirt, mugs, pen, card, and other give away items or souvenirs. And I also would like to include digital graphics and logo design. Can anyone help me or guide me on this? I don't even know where to start. :(

Answer:
The best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you're interested in. I recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box. Associations may be a good avenue to explore. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links. Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant: * How to Start and Manage a Printing Business: A Practical Way to Start Your Own Business by Jerre G. Lewis, Leslie D. Renn * The Complete Book of Silk Screen Printing Production by J. I. Biegeleisen * How to Print T-Shirts for Fun and Profit! by Scott O. Fresener * Screenprinting: The Complete Water-Based System by Robert Adam, Carol Robertson, Thames, Hudson * The Creative Business Guide to Running a Graphic Design Business by Cameron S. Foote * The Business Side of Creativity: The Complete Guide for Running a Graphic Design or Communications Business by Cameron S. Foote * Inside the Business of Graphic Design: 60 Leaders Share Their Secrets of Success by Catharine M. Fishel There are plenty of free informational resources out there.

Ok for real. This area is sold out, though, and this is my opinion, 2008 looks up. The area you are you must consider. First of all you approached one good area, events of caterers. The really wide area is hiring. Sports centers can add more people, though it is hot like say live television. There has to be a smooth transition for your employees, safety is top priorities. Also nice facilities, so shop the high tech area such as these, music rehearsals clubs, parade investment advertisers, clubs brand new dance, and travel new production. These are now in the sponsored upgrading management, your client. Your client must follow within agreements, and you need to have steady long range educational standards. Any advertiser worth the investment will be safe, fresh, clear, fair, and trustworthy to the public or their audience. Read some of their work. http://www.concerttickets.com
