IS THIS YOUR FIRST BUSINESS? Yes.

WHY DID YOU START THIS BUSINESS? While working for the City (of Los Angeles Los Angeles (lôs ăn`jələs, lŏs, ăn`jəlēz'), city (1990 pop. 3,485,398), seat of Los Angeles co., S Calif.; inc. 1850. ) doing TV production, I found I could do special events on the weekends. After retiring eight years ago, we expanded the business, becoming a full-production studio.

WHERE DID YOU GET THE IDEA? While producing video programs for the City of Los Angeles
For the city, see Los Angeles, California.
The City of Los Angeles was a streamlined passenger train jointly operated by the Chicago and North Western Railway and the Union Pacific Railroad.
, I realized video was growing in interest in the personal sector, and I found a new avenue for my skills on weekends.

HOW LONG WAS IT FROM CONCEPT TO OPENING? One year.

WHAT DID YOU DO DURING THAT TIME? Made productions for free for friends until I decided to make it into a business.

WHAT WERE YOUR STARTUP (STARTing UP) "At startup" means when the computer is first turned on or when a program is first loaded. See Startup folder.  COSTS AND HOW DID YOU FINANCE THE BUSINESS? $20,000 for camera and editing equipment, made in monthly payments from savings.

WHO DID YOU RELY ON FOR ADVICE? My own background in video production and friends who owned their own businesses. I also attended lectures on how to start businesses and and how to get all the legal licensing.

WHAT HADN'T YOU CONSIDERED BEFORE OPENING? How many hours of my life it would take and that I would have to give up any social life.

WHAT IS YOUR EXPECTED REVENUE THIS YEAR? $350,000

WHAT GOALS DO YOU HAVE FOR THE COMPANY? We're now moving into the high-definition age - another new technology to conquer. We're also growing our corporate video productions and have even produced for major companies such as General Motors, Nestle Foods, Kmart and others.
