Looking to make the right contacts

Hello, I am a college senior about to graduate in 6 months with a dream of launching a clothing line. I am not looking to launch some t-shirt line just like any other college kid. I am actually looking to launch a full line for men and women. I am looking to make the right contacts in terms of manufacturers having already contacted some in Peru, China and Cambodia. At this point I am really just seeking advice from anyone who is willing to help. The name of the brand is going to be Elizabeth Mienza, after my grandmother and we are hoping to donate 10% of our profits to the Alzheimer's Foundation to help fight a disease that took her life. Thank you all for your help.

Thank you for the help. I have been in contact with someone from score and a few other local agencies with the hope of getting some help in advancing my ideas.

Kofi,

This is determination and just the fact you are now networking is a great ladder to climb as a business developer. Most MM are very driven at a young age! You may want to help others get their business concepts off the ground first so you can learn from the inside out. A business plan is good but it is better to learn from multiple plans before writing one or directing one to be authored. Good Luck, I am a phone call away. 614-454-5901 office number.

Hi Kofi

Love your determination and focus ... GBIntel has devised innovative entrepreneurship technology that sustains the life, growth, and development of startups across the trajectory of the entrepreneurship life cycle. This proprietary knowledge, expertise and experience was gleaned from a 20-year study.

We provide a free, 15-minute consultation to prove our trustworthiness and competence. After which, you are free to arrange negotiable fees on a contingent basis -- if your wish.

Here are a few suggestions:

(1) SBA gives generalized information ... more reliable, specific, detailed information can be retrieved from entrepreneur.com and from bplans

(2) SBA creditworthiness depends upon the owner much more than the strength of the business plan better sources are small business banks, angel investors, and venture capitaliss

(3) MONEY ... CASH IS KING ... never forget

Elaine, Founder-CEO, GBIntel
