Jennifer has an idea for starting a new business. Although she is only a high school graduate, she is certain the business will succeed because she can target high school and college graduates and then the general public. Her idea is for an employment agency that focuses on individuals with excellent computer and writing skills that will work for companies writing blog and web-page materials from home. She knows several individuals she can approach for employment and has several classmates in mind for their employees. She puts together a business plan, researches office locations, existing employment agency procedures and hiring practices, and forms of business. She meets with a banker and asks about financing for the start-up and is turned down. The banker suggests she seek crowdfunding.
