What is the purpose for capital required in a business plan?
For one to start a business, first you need a plan and then you need the money to start it up. See, if for instance you want to open a school: you select a complex from the real estate agents or rather buy a land; to officially acquire this you need to buy and you can't do that without money. Capital isn't just any money set aside or in an account or safe box, it is money that has been well budgeted for considering things needed to be purchased, employees to be paid if any and for miscellaneous purposes; it is used to generate income by investing in something. In other words capital must itself be produced by human labor before it can be a factor of production, without this then a business does no exist.
What is the purpose of a marketing plan included in a business plan?
In any business plan there should be a marketing plan since these two are inseparable factors that will determine the profits of any business. See, if you start up a business, you need to know who your target market is. For instance, if its a baby shop, your target would mostly be the pregnant women and mothers so here you need to know how to get their attention even in the worst time of the month.
-The way you advertise your product(s) determines how fast or the frequency of your profits
- Understand the market of that particular business so that you know what to improve, avoid and how to make it better so that you can be ahead of the game
- Have good knowledge of your product before you put it on the shelf
Put out there what you know will grasp their attention (either in brochures, billboards, TV/radio commercials, fliers)
- Accessibility; where you need to set up the business should be someplace favourable for these women in-terms of reach and space
- Prices and availability of products (when you put a product on a good price, make sure it never runs out) test this with one product and see how it goes
- Never put all the goods on the shelf, otherwise you will run out of surprises for them, keep them wanting and asking for more
This are just amongst the few factors you need to consider when creating a marketing plan for your business

What kind of business license do you need for a concierge?
You may not need a business license to be a concierge. However, I suggest you check with your city, county and state codes to determine whether or not this service is defined as 'a business' and if so, is a business license required.
Optionally, you may save time by consulting with an attorney whose practice is focused upon business.
What are the dangers of poor positioning in a grocery store?
Retail positioning is a key component of product marketing.
Poor positioning in a grocery store could include:
- A product that is not where a consumer expects it to be. For example, a fat-free hummus being placed in the yoghurt isle may be difficult to find.
- A product that is physically out of reach or out of sight for the consumer. Products that are on the highest shelfs or on the very bottom ones are not ideal unless they're targeted at children (for the low shelfs).
- Products with insufficient shelf space. If a new product only garners 1 or 2 feet of visible shelf space it runs the risk of never being discovered. New product lunches should aim for at least 5 feet of shelf space for maximum visibility.
- Products that are typically spontaneous purchases that are not on a consumer's typical walking path through the store. For example, candy bars placed in the ethnic foods section would be unlikely to do as well as if they were placed up near the registers or in an aisle that a consumer must walk through to get to the milk.
How do you start your own GPS tracking business?
Starting a private business is always considered to be a very long and complicated process. While for some businesses that might be true, there are exceptions to any rule and GPS tracking business is an exception, because starting this business is as simple as it can be and it gets more and more profitable as well. There are 5 major steps:
1) Make a small marketing research in order to decide what your target audience is and what customers you would like to work for. You may want to sell equipment for people tracking or work for big companies that need to track their fleets. After you make a decision you may also use the data you got to create your marketing and advertising campaigns and make them more successful.
2) Choose software and GPS trackers you are going to use. Make sure that you are going to use the best software solutions and buy the products that are well-known and respected in the sphere of GPS tracking, such as Wilalon Pro or Wialon Hosting. As these products would influence the quality of work you can offer to your customers, you should make a very careful and thoughtful decision.
3) Write a business plan. It should include all the detailed information on your future business. Try to be realistic with timing and expenses. And make sure you fully realize the target audience and the purpose of your business. You need a business plan in case you are taking a loan or looking for investors, but it would also be very useful for organizing the business process especially during the first several months.
4) Get a business license. You will need to set up your physical location and be ready to hire a lawyer for this step of creating your business. Laws vary from location to location, so you have to make sure that you are carefully following all the rules. Buy all the software, trackers and equipment you need. Work only with companies with model reputation
5) Start looking for customers using different marketing, advertising and PR techniques to explain them the way GPS tracking can make their lives better and safer or profit their businesses in decreasing the expenses on fleet maintaining. Remember that you will be able to make a profit from selling and installing tracking systems as well as from charging companies or users every month for fleet tracking. It only takes around 100 vehicles to connect in order to consider your GPS tracking business profitable and successful.

What are the negative of entrepreneurship?
I assume you are asking for its negative effects.
It is risky because you have to come up with a capital to invest. And if your business does well, you would be able to cover your capital, and whatever that is extra after all payments due is your profit. When you start a certain kind of business, you may have to pay wages to your workers, pay utility bills, for advertising, samples, catalogues, brochures (depending on what business it is). If, however, your business fails (lack of demand for product marketed, economic recession whereby people have little purchasing power, oversupply of product making them cheap everywhere - so you are to sell for cheap - you don't make a profit), you lose your money. If your capital was something you saved, you just lost that. If it was from a loan you took, now you have to pay for it for a certain duration, having gained nothing from it.
