HELPFUL HINTS: HOW TO START A BUSINESS FOR $100 If you're the typical “would-be en trepreneur,” you often dream of launching your own business but never get beyond your “dream ” be cause you assume you need a lot of startup capital. Maybe you don’t know that: • The founder of Fritos bought his recipe for $100, made corn chips at night in his mother’s kitchen and sold them by day from the back of his car: • H&R Block was launched with no money because the fees custom ers paid were the source of capital to expand; • Frank W Woolworth worked in retail jobs free just to gain ex perience and opened his first F.W. Woolworth with $21 of his own and $300 worth of borrowed 5-cent goods from his last employer The founders of Fritos, H&R Block and F.W. Woolworth Co., as well as ADP, Ford Motor Co., and Eastman Kodak, each started with $100 or less. What they and hun dreds of other entrepreneurs lacked in startup capital, they made up for in determination—to risk their talents and time to achieve their dreams of financial independence.
