I want to start a business I don't have a few thousand dollars to start it. What do you recommend?

Check the phone book or Google for Market Research companies. They run Focus Groups and Shopping Mall Intercept projects all year long. You might be asked to sample a food, watch a advertising comparison, talk about a specific type of business , maybe get your political opinion. They pay good $$$. Many of these companies maintain contact lists and group contacts, groups that use this method to raise money for charitable purposes. During my early school years I worked for a company where we paid people to do a blind taste test - Pepsi vs Coke! Those were fun days!
Do you live in a major city with prominent medical centers? You might have heard of companies testing new virus vaccines, paying for your time and covering all health issues.
As a kid, I found out the easiest way to quick cash was visit a neighbor and offer my gardening services!

He wants a few thousand DOLLARS now!

There is one option that often helped me out is a loan. It is quite difficult to find a credit service where you can get a loan as a poor permanent. I know a good option that I have used many times myself. See here .
