On behalf of expertvillage.com my name is Paul Louis from Puppets and Stuff Puppets and I like to welcome you on how to start you very own puppet company. Lets talk about different types of corporations. Now there is corporation that enables you to make money. There is also something called a not for profit right now profit organization. You could also file this through the department of state. The difference is that you know you really can't make millions and millions of dollars if you are a non-profit; you can not make millions and millions of dollars if you are profit either with puppetry quiet frankly but, what you can do is you can get funding when you are not a profit organization. There is a lot of money out there there is a lot of grants that companies give to non profits. The only thing is that you have to fill out your own grant proposals, grant applications. If you are not really experience in writing grants I suggest you find a grant writer to help you do this. You know you give them a little percentage of the grant if they do it on spic. But, I would also suggest that you try writing a grant yourself. The first time that I apply for a grant I was very nervous because there is a lot of budgeting involve and mathematics and I terrible with numbers. The thing is I tried it and believe it or not I got the funding so you have to overcome that girdle of writing the grants and overcome that fear. But, once you get on a roll you could fund yourself for the you know the entire year.
