Now the co-working space helps him achieve a better balance. In the new office, which Landry shares with his creative services coordinator and a computer programmer, everyone has access to wi-fi, dedicated phone service, a conference room, a printer/fax/copier and a kitchenette. The rent is $300 per month for a desk in this office without cubes.
“I’m looking to get collaboration out of this,” Landry says. “A space where people can come together and share ideas that make everyone better.”
To that end, Landry and his group intend to rent only to other digital creatives, which they define as web designers, graphic designers and programmers.

Starting a small business in Maine. Incense, oil, candles, arromatic things. we need a name.?
Aug 20, 2007 by vinny6301 | Posted in Small Business
Incense are homade, and we do custom dipping. all items in the store will be very fragrant and arromatic. Nothing we sell is eddible.
I'd try this different approach. Invite over about ten of your best friends for a wine tasting party at your house early in the evening and make sure you have a designated driver or two. After everyone has had a glass or two, and start to giggle tell them you are looking for a name for your incense, oil, candles and aromatic things company.
You'd be surprised at how creative they become. The more they giggle the more chance there is of something very good coming out of it.
Get several names you like because the challenge will be to find a name that is also available as a web site name. The moment you settle on something, do a search at http://www.godaddy.com to see if the name is available. If you are very lucky and it is, available, buy it immediately. The price is usually less than $10 and you’ll own it for at least a year.

How can I find grants for first-time small businesses in Maine?
Aug 04, 2007 by poo1ec | Posted in Small Business
The grant would be used for start up costs for a pizza delivery service.
There are essentially only 4 sources for grants. A little known fact it that you do NOT have to be a non-profit to get a grant, regardless of what others tell you ... I've helped for-profits apply for grants.
Federal grants are called Small Business Innovation Research grants. These are given primarily for some new innovation. You can find out what's available at:
http://www.sbirworld.com
There is also info on this site about how to apply.
Some cities offer grants to small businesses if they will locate in the downtown area, for the purposes of building up downtown traffic. Check with City Hall.
There are some governemnt grants for minority businesses. You can find info at:
http://www.mbda.gov
Finally, private foundations offer grants. You can get a list of most US Foundations and private grant sources at http://www.foundations.org/grantmakers.html.
