I think it sounds like a lot of work.. most new businesses fail also.
I recommend just relaxing, and trying to do as little of work as possible.

Geriatric care
A really needed service is geriatric care. However, this is very demanding to provide and almost no one would do it for any length of time if the money were not very good. I don't see how you could get enough people to do this on a non-profit basis.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

Re: Re: Re: Geriatric care
Really? That's surprising. Two years in Manila hasn't left me with a lot of respect fro Filipinos, but they do seem to have a capacity to put up with just about anything. Oh well.Originally posted by pchang

Actually, I wasn't thinking of doing geriatric care. My service would be to promote, sell, install, and retrofit homes to put off the need for assisted living. Pretty much provide and impliment Independent Living Solutions.Comment

Re: Re: Re: Re: Geriatric care
That's not really the problem. The problem is they also have the capacity to figure out what the minimum they can get away with. Conditions in the elderly care facilities I have seen have been pretty grim. I used to volunteer to provide entertainment/company at elderly care facilities. I haven't done it for a while now.Originally posted by Rufus T. Firefly

If you want to run a for-profit business and give to charity. The charity has to be registered if you want to deduct it. You can't just give away your product to those who are too poor.
The other way you can go is to become a non-profit organization and get for-profit organizations to make donations to you.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?
