Hi Guys,

So I have been activly researching how to get my own collections business running when something really came to me out of the blue.

I realized that I may or may not have a knack for something along the lines of consulting. Every job I have had over the past 7 years, without realizing, I have worked towards reducing costs, increasing efficiency and also simplifying user interface.

Couples examples: I worked as an auditor at a casino, and I actually did a number of things there. I re-created alot of their accounting recs to simplify user interface and reduce the likelyhood of manual error. I also worked on a large project where we tried to have the casino switch their jackpot tickets to a bar-coded system. Again this would reduce manual error and also increase system accessability to winning ticket information. I also added new features to some of their methods of tracking money in their AJMs (Automatic Jackpot machines) so they could keep track of machine outages by denomination and have totals for the month to research easier. This actually led to a large increase in customer dispute efficiency as they could track the money easier.

At my current job at a bank where I work in accounting, this far I have reduced paper consumption by $6,000.00 a year and increased communications between our office here in Buffalo, NY and Millsboro Ohio, by revamping thier payment status update procedures.

I know these are all relatively small things, but I think at times when the economy isnt that great, any money saved cant be bad.

So after thinking it through, I am contemplating possible setting up a collections & small business consultation business. Really they go hand in hand, collecting money and also reducing costs.

Does this sound like it makes sense or am I going crazy lol. I come here to ask because talking to relatives on this kind of stuff only gets skewed opinions.

Thanks all.
