"Hi my name is John Niemira and I wanted to talk to you about opening a computer business. Opening a computer business would take you a lot of research. There are different types of computer businesses out there. You want to start and do some research, whether you are looking to deal with the hardware or the software, very very different businesses. Are you going to buy an existing business or are you going to start fresh from the ground up? Who are your potential customers? What are you going to use for financing? How are you going to get it started? In my business when I opened my last company I bought an existing business. It seems to be a better way to go with some different kinds of companies. You want to see whether you have existing customers, whether you have competition, who are you going to sell to? Are you going to develop your own marketing plan or are you going to use an existing marketing plan? Are you going to get financing from yourself or are you going to go to a bank to get financing? So develop a good marketing plan, a business plan and a budget. Know what you are getting into, do lots of research and be very careful with the process. If you need any more information on this subject or any other subject in the business field my e-mail address is jniemira@gmail.com."
