If you could run any business, what would it be?

Porn - not sure that would really last beyond the novelty of seeing loads of artificially enhanced bums and boobs walking around. It would probably see me hooked on drugs and unable to get excited by my wife, as well as intellectually empty and morally void. Maybe.

My Mrs wants to own a Garden Centre. I think i'd just have to leave her to it... For me, I'd like to be able to run a own a football team.

A Snooker club or a tea and cake shop on a river bank.

Microsoft.

I'd let everyone use windows for free. :cool:

Waterpark or a cinema or a bar/club in a cool location with a selective admission policy and cool drinks, or better combine all three, profit!

Always wanted to run a hotel for some reason.

Oooh I love Mad Goose

Bar and club.
Resturant
Hotel.

Weirdly I have no experience of ever working in any of the above, and in Edinburgh there's a few that are all three under one parent group already.
I'd just end up having to hiring a damn good and experienced general manager to help with the running and advising of what I should be doing.

I have also noticed a gap in the nightclub market in Edinburgh, but I don't have any funds to even think about starting it.
And for those suggesting a club-night that won't work as it's more a venue thing.

I could see myself running a B&B down on the Cornish coast one day.

I would like to have a shop (with added craft room) where I could just sit and craft til my hearts content and sell whatever I produce. I mostly craft with polyester resin but I would love there to be no limits to what I could make.

Probably pretty boring compared to others ideas but :/

Would love to run/own a Nightclub. Would be a great place to spend my weekends in too

Coca-cola. It's black gold.

I was out cycling with a group the other day and got chatting to someone who's friend owns a local brewery (Purity Brewing Co. in Warwickshire). Almost my first thought was, 'what a cool way to make a living'. Brewing a very successful beer in beautiful countryside, sampling my own product all day and making a killing from a demanding but rewarding line of work; yes please.

So maybe that's my answer to this question: what business would you run if you could choose any? Can be fictional if it hasn't been invented yet .

I worked in a brewery for a while (a proper one, no machinery or computers involved! Lots of lifting) and it was horrible work. Though, the owners seem to have it pretty good.

I'd love to run a specialist alcohol shop.

Record Label/Club. A proper club, like Fabric.

R-evans · 10 Feb 2013 at 23:11

Ice cream man.

But I don't drive and have a phobia of scoops.

A (successful, at least as far as indie things go) games company would be pretty neat. I mean software is where most of my skills and interests lie, so it makes sense.
