You can buy up and running and or start your own and if you can buy more than one business if there is money left over! Just a random thought i was thinking, i will get back when i have decided on what i would spend it on lol

I would probably end up starting and running at least 10 successful business from scratch which would result in a lot more than that over a relatively short time...

I would buy look for a good franchise and set it up. I would push all my product ideas into existence + buy a BMW and a yacht.

If I had one million dollars to spend on a business, I would....

....use $20,000 of this amount (I always do better boot-strapping), and bank the rest in my high-yield money-market account.

All would go into flipping and renting out commercial properties.

I would buy a local night club thats for sale,

I would buy look for a good franchise and set it up. I would push all my product ideas into existence + buy a BMW and a yacht.

That yacht might be a dingy for under a million.

If I had a million i'd be 100% equities. I'd add some to other investment vehicles exposed through ETF's (bond index, REIT index, etc.) to diversify my risk but the majority would be single stocks both North American and International.

yacht is over 1 million prob lol

[allysa]

I would start another business, something related to IT. The others are for savings and some are for investments.
