PostHeaderIcon Finding investors for small sum of money?


Hi. I’m only 16 and at college in the UK but i’m able to set up my own online store as a sole trader (and yes this is legal as i’ve consulted my business teacher and many others), but i’m wondering where would i start or who would i go to to get an investment between £500-£1000. Business angels tend to offer £10,000 and above and that’s the cheapest i’ve found on the internet. I don’t really want any answers on filling out surveys or bank loans or claiming on tax etc. I also find it hard to get a job at my age. Any help on where to find an investor is appreciated. Thanks, Luke.

Nobody throws money at a teenager and their inexperience, unless you know them personally, like your Dad or other family member. Nobody.

You can work your tail off trying to "get" the money, and come up with the same answer I’ve already given you, or you can put that same effort into earning the money and actually save some.

You don’t necessarily have to "get a job." Check in your community and family for odd jobs. Shovel snow, wash windows, run errands. Do stuff nobody likes to do, like clean bathtubs and toilets. It just depends on how bad you want to earn the money, all you have to do is be resourceful, honest and trustworthy, and work hard.

Look at the bottom of almost any web page that sells products or services, and you will see an "Affiliate" tab. Look into Affiliate Marketing. If you want to send me your email address, I can send you a bunch of ebooks and How-To stuff.

Otherwise, if you want to work your butt off for nothing trying to get money for nothing, here is where most people start peddling their business plan. You have to have a written plan though.

Institutional venture capital comes from professionally managed funds that have $25 million to $1 billion to invest in emerging growth companies.

PostHeaderIcon is this a scam or for real???


Hi,

The car is still for sale. My 2008 Honda Odyssey is in great shape,no engine problems,damages or hidden defects.It is $9000.00 Hasn’t been involved in any accident. It was always garaged and never kept outside. I`m a single mother with 2 children because I divorced with my husband and after the divorce I owned this car, I don`t need it and that`s why I`m selling it so cheap. The car has a clear title, no liens. Transmission is Automatic and has 26,600 miles. The total price is $4,650 including shipping and handling.
I was recently promoted and had to move to the UK. I’m located in London and the car is in Bangor, ME. The car is still registred in USA. I have made all the arrangements and the car is already in a shipping container (sealed with all the papers inside). You can’t inspect it now and the shipping and insurance charges are included in this price. The shipping takes 5-7 days and the car is delivered at your home.
It is very important for me to know if you have all the money to buy it or you need to get a loan for it. We will use eBay protection program for our safety and for payment I prefer to use an eBay safety payment.
You have 7 days to inspect the car and I get the money after you make sure everything is ok and decide to keep it. If you don’t like the car and want to return it, I will arrange to ship it back (on my costs) and you will be 100% refunded by ebay. I’m sure you will love the car and don’t want to return it but it’s good to know that you have this option available.
I just need your full name and address so I can open a case. You must know that eBay will contact you without any obligatiaon to buy it or fees. The car is $9000.00

Have a nice day!
Mary

PostHeaderIcon do u think its possible to live off the land and from a tent in the uk.?


as we are in the midsts of this deppression/rescescion would it be cheaper to live out of a tent. it has been mentioned to me . however do they do social loans for tents and cooking equipment?

It’s do-able and you don’t have to be Ray Mears or anywhere near that level of TV survival and outdoor living programs to do it.
My friend lived on our local headland for two years in a tent.
He even had a garden up there, growing veg.

BTW you don’t scrump turnips or spuds from farmers’ fields..you fix a bit of fence, cut some hedge, scrape some machinery down to clean it, whatever…and ask for veg and eggs as payment.
He or she will be very happy with that.
And you can even do it in Spanish in Chile or Colombia….well, universally- understood miming language anyway.
Me..you…rub belly…working motions with arms , sweeping, clipping, hammering, etc…big smile…try the speaking the lingo…happy attitude..get work…eat.
Scrumping is stealing…not a happy farmer then….
Joe (not real name ) came back to normal, healthy and fit, went to Uni, and found a full time job on a three-year contract in a posh private college in Istambul teaching English.
I met him there a while back.
Nearly all my holidays are on the hills, usually for a month at a time, camping and living off the land as far as possible but I always have dry foods with me…..oats, barley, dried peas, lentils, etc. Fish,fowl, and rabbits add to that, plus numerous plants you can eat, either raw or cooked.
A fresh trout cooked over a pit of red -hot heather cinders is a joy.
If you make a fire you have to know what you are doing, and never ever leave a fire unattended, or left to burn out after you’ve gone. It must be properly dowsed and covered to avoid spoiling or even wrecking the countryside.
Most places they are illegal.
See mine here…
I don’t suppose you’ll have a washing machine tub with you,haha

On some northern beaches you can get armfuls of sea spinach or go wading anywhere round Britain on rocky shorelines to collect sea lettuce. crabs, and shellfish. Some sandy and muddy/sandy shores are good for cockles and winkles, and mussels.
For plants, Richard Maybey’s book "Food For Free" is a very good guide to what you can eat from the fields and hedgerows. Look for one in the charity shops and second-hand bookshops, or get one cheap from Amazon.

You won’t get assisstance to live rough, apart from any normal benefits you may be claiming, like Jobseeker’s Allowance, for which you’ll need an address anyway, but you can buy a Coleman Viper for £30 now which will withstand heavy weather for a long time, and get a good petrol or paraffin stove for £15 if you’re lucky. Full price decent quality ones cost £40 upwards.
A four-season sleeping bag and cover will cost at least £60 for decent quality….Vango are the amongst best bargains at the moment, and you can sometimes find Vango mountain tents for £50….top stuff for the price.
Stainless steel pans can be bought in charity shops for £1, and really good ones for less than £3.
I used a Viper for years as my main tent and it’s still as good as new.

My answer below has links for loads of outdoor living stuff…links to links etc. Ignore the fire advice on the best answer..that’s just stupid, but not all voters know anything about being outdoors. Five good answers here and two from (presumably) armchair-wallahs.

…..EDIT: …..
Yes, and survive the winter. You can be warmer and drier in a decent tent and sleeping bag on the moors in mid-winter than some folks are in damp housing with no money to pay for heating.
I’ve had to get rid of layers before at -15C ‘cos I was getting too warm.
Doing it and armchair -thinking -it are not the same thing……ask thousands who have lived in harsh conditions for months at a time….they know.
You could even have a drink in a pub in Keswick or Ambleside and ask Chris Bonnington if he’s around….he’s quite amenable to a good chat…..and you might even believe it if it comes from him.
Or go and do it if you’re fit enough…the ultimate test of truth.
Modern kit is brilliant!
