Hello,
I'm gonna graduate next year and want to establish my own business in Metropolitan area.
Could you please give me some advice and information on what kind of business should I start ? (small restaurant, kiosk, carwash, grilli, coffee shop...else ? ) I'm business student and can raise my starting capital up to 100000€.

Anyone interested please send me PM, we can discuss and possibly form partnership.

Thanks.

What skills, experience, background, networks or special talents do you have?

A business degree is not a prequisite to starting a successful and profitable business, although it can help.

I am currently doing this entrepreneurship course at helsinkiyritys and I can tell you that right now the best and easiest fields of investments are; real estate management and home-care service for elderly.

Of course, IT-inventions and developments as well as forestry or forestry related machineries are the hot ones.

This, or anything related to the needs of Finland's every growing ageing population. Very tough market to stay competitive and profitable, lots of legislation, high start up costs. Half of all job postings last year were within the field of social care, so it is certainly a hot place to be.

I can't help thinking of Tom Cruise in "Risky Business" where he grossed $40,000.00 in one night. Now, THAT's a business!
