I want to start a micro business because I want to have rescue center for pit bulls. But just how do I to start a micro business?

Zykia,

A rescue center for pit bulls sounds more like a nonprofit organization than a for-profit business, but you could run it as a for-profit business, if your goal is to make a profit.
BTW, starting a for-profit business is a lot easier than starting a nonprofit! You need a board, bylaws, tax exempt status from the IRS, funding, etc. Read the articles on this page to learn how to start a nonprofit.

The way to get started with a  (for-profit) micro business is to

  • visit my blog posts on starting a micro business
  • watch the Starting a Micro Business video,
  • and then read the first book Starting a Micro Business.

That book will be helpful whether you try to start a nonprofit or a for-profit business.

There’s a lot to learn, but you can do it!

From a parent

Thank you for your e-book on teen micro businesses. Your valuable experience and wealth of knowledge is vast.

Your presentations at Cincinnati homeschool conferences and sharing with us over the years have benefited us well.

I can hardly believe we are at this point in our life-and here he is a young man ready to try his fortune with the world.
