as they say, take something already in use and make BETTER -or that's what I say ;)

The product I am improving on, which I have done due diligence and cannot find this modification to a tried and true product/technique anywhere on the web......

As is true in most places, is true emergency services/healthcare as well. My concept (I have a home made prototype only) will keep to the accepted and well-known principals of treatment for sprains/strains-can be sold by medical supply companies AND over the counter to the public. Depending on manufacturing costs, which is one of my questions to follow, it would be less or equivalent cost to the common product on the market now. Also, it's all in one, so NO additional materials required. It not only saves significant costs because of the adjunct material needed BUT EMS/1st-aider's cost of labor! In my research, this product protocol is even more consistent with the standards of care for these types of injuries.....

Questions:1 ) How and to whom can I sell the 'concept' (vs. producing same on my own, then marketing, then distributing etc.) and how do I make the connection(s) to the appropriate industry leaders?
2. IF above not the best way to go- how do I find manufactures', I need one who can make 'instant' ice pack (that are already on the market) BUT need them to be 4"x4"? for example
3. I am willing to license the concept/idea but don't know how to proceed

You input, help and insights ARE greatly appreciated!!!!!
Also, I am willing to give more detailed info as long as there is a 'company confidential', handshake : )

Most sincerely,

I've been trying to start up a nitch Off Road accessory e-commerce store with my partner. Both of us are driven and leaning as we go along. Comm and Engineer Majors. It would be great to bring in a third guy to help with getting things going, but without investment I do not want to give him partnership rights.

My thoughts were to bring him in as a contractor/consultant instead of an employee. (We don't have enough revenue to support a employee). I was thinking of a contract that will give him equity in the company that's been converted from quarterly profits. If company makes money he gets #% of that, but is automatically converted to equity.

After some time, we might be able to hire him as a full employee or if all goes good, he could potentially become a key role in the company.

What have you guys found would be the beat way to bring him in? ]]> Trep Help Cnsellon http://www.youngentrepreneur.com/forum/f39-trep-help/hiring-our-first-employee-257328.html http://www.youngentrepreneur.com/forum/f39-trep-help/travel-and-tourism-start-up-need-help-257313.html Fri, 24 May 2013 15:15:19 GMT Hi, I am currently involved in local tours in my state.

I am currently involved in local tours in my state. I want to take my business to next level by arranging tours and vacations. I really do not have much idea about how should I take the next steps.

Are there any good books which I should go through, so that I will get some ideas.

My name is James and have my own clothing line in Australia. I have gained quiet a large amount of loyal followers due to being proactive in the skateboarding community and have made do with the suppliers that I have found through all my research.

One thing that has always plagued by mind is the supplier of many types of hats (mostly concerned with 5 panels and trucker style hats) that display the same tag on the inside of the hat (American flag with writing 'Made in the USA').

Worldwide brands such as HUF and Supreme who use these hats obviously are top secret about where they have their hats made, but I have noticed that local brands in Australia (Butter Goods and Pass~Port) are using this same supplier.

There is obviously the chance it isn't the same supplier, but a supplier whom is copying these inside labels baring the American flag. But these brands are beginning to become huge in the international market which makes me think that it would be the same supplier.

Does anyone on here know of any American made hat suppliers? If so, I would love to hear of some companies/ websites I could have a look at myself.

Furthermore, a local Melbourne designer who also owned his own label told me that 'For an item to be labelled as USA made it only needed to be 30-40% made in the USA, so lots of American brands have them made within China then do the labelling themselves in the USA (which makes it enough to label the hat as American made). This comment didn't seem right to me, but I just thought I would ask other people's thoughts on the comment.

Looking forward to your replies and thanks in advance!
