Weekly Competition #10
16 November 2018WINNERS ANNOUNCED:
busy_song and honorable_penguin
We were blown away by your creative entries this week and the range of suggestions. Well done! We chose an exceptional winner from Michael Faraday School who had thought through what we thought was a viable business plan. We loved the emphasis on community cohesion. Our secondary school winner was from Portobello High; they considered the market, making a profit, celebrity endorsements and job opportunities, which we thought showed great business acumen!
A big thank you to honorable_conclusion too, who used their scepticism skill to remind us that, ‘As much as it is a nice and moral idea to give to charity, the business would need to earn money otherwise it would have to shut down.’
You can read the winning entries in the orange boxes below.
WEEKLY COMPETITION #10:
If you had £100,000 to invest in a business, what kind of business would you chose and why?
You can choose something that already exists, or you might like to create something totally new. We’d like to read good reasons for answer, so make sure you explain why you think your money would be well spent on that cause!
Good luck! Winners will be announced on Friday.

If I could choose a business to invest 100,000 pounds on I would invest it on a new healthy restaurant.
This would be so if someone was on a diet, they wouldn't feel left out on meals
Here is an example - Janny is on a diet. She wants to go to a restaurant with her friend Bobby. He took her to Mcdonalds. She wanted to carry on with her diet so she ordered nothing accept water. She felt left out as she was watching Bobby scoffing his food.
In this example it says how Janny feels left out because she is trying to eat healthy but if we had a healthy reasturant Janny could eat there with Bobby!
There are many restaurants like this. There is an organic restaurant called Daylesford, which is amazing. And McDonalds is one of the fast food restaurants.
I would build a charity because I want to help people and make people happy I think a charity is the best way to help people and make them feel happy
How does charity make people happy? It definitely helps people, but how does it make them happy?
I can understand where you are coming from ; however, psychological tests prove that if someone has physical welfare they have mental welfare as well.
I really like your idea however, you would be losing money so why not invest in a business so you could make more profit from that business of your choice.
I believe while this would be a good and just thing to do it would not put any money back into the economy and could cause more problems.
If I had 100 thousand pounds to invest into a business I would invest into saving the planet because even though I may not get an income of money or even get the money back I would play a crucial part in helping to save our planet. The particular foundation that I would choose to invest in is called Plastic Oceans. I am sure everybody is aware that plastic is everywhere, especially in the sea. I would like to hope that everybody is concerned about this problem and Plastic oceans is a dedicated charity which helps in may aspects to this problem.
On their website it says : The Plastic Ocean Foundation UK is the founding organisation and a United Kingdom Registered Charity, registration number 1139843.What sets us apart as an organisation is that we have a global view of the issue and have worked with scientists for 8 years, out on the ocean and in the laboratories. They also help to educate children and adults on this ongoing problem.
They seem like they are a very reliable charity and would spend my money wisely and on helping to save the planet. I would just like to point out that there is no point investing in other businesses if the world is going to be ruined by plastic in 30 years.
I would invest my money on what I would call the Sickle Cell campaign. I am a victim of sickle cell disease. In my body I have red blood cells like anybody else but mine are kind of crescent-shaped. This makes it harder for the blood cells to move blood around my body because my blood cells don't have enough space to carry the blood. If some blood doesn't get round to some of my body I start to get crisis's. I mostly get a chest crisis, but it can happen anywhere in your body. I have to be taken to hospital and this leads to missing a lot of days off school. I am missing my education and things that will benefit me in the future. Also, I want to be an actress when I'm older and my sickle cell disease kind of limits me to do what I want to do. My disease means that I cannot overwork and I can not get dehydrated. I'm in a lot of plays and things so that makes it really hard not to overwork. Sometimes I am so busy that I forget about drinking my water. Sometimes I even forget to take my pills that try to keep the crisis's at bay.
I understand what the people with sickle cell disease are going through, that is why I want to support them.
With the 100,000 I would go to different hospitals and pay for a station that will take place in a big room/area. It will be a place where children and adults can reach their full potentials. In this room they can be who they want to be. They can sing, dance, act and educate themselves in whatever they want. It will also be a place where they can all go and chill and support and comfort each other. We will be a community, we will be a family.
I would use £100,000 on books because I would like to find out more specially in non fiction books but also I would like to read fiction books because then I can get ideas and write my own story to publish when I grow up.
Or perhaps you could build a library for this type of books?
If i have 100000 i will give quater to charity and another quater to my whole family and the third quater i will spend it for a mansion or estate , if its over a quater and if i still got like under a quater the leftover money i put it in my wallet or inside my secret chamber , i don't want to store it at the bank because when you store it at the bank you lend them 270pounds , now that very expensive and i don't want the bank to make more money because the more they make , the less vaulable money is because there lots of them.
Personally, I’d like to invest £100,000 pounds into Something that has already been invented but with extra funding could expand further and widen the possibility’s for many young minds even the same age as me! And all of us!
I would invest in childline which is know world wide and helps to strength both mental and future of young children suffering and in need of help. With the extra money it could expand further and help even more children going through a hard time in there lives and searching for: a friend, somone to talk to, advice and even just a confidence booster to listen during struggles.
It states that you’d have to invest in something but to invest in something you: put (money) into financial schemes, shares, property, or a commercial venture with the expectation of achieving a profit. The profit doesn’t state it *only* being money so by investing in childline you’d be investing in the children’s future sparking their imagination and igniting their hope and creativity to make a difference in the world they live in even after struggling or having difficulties.
Overall, investing in childline would bennifit the children, the adults/elders and the world we live in making it a happier place and shorting the sadness and bringing back the hope lost during a bad time. Although we may not get back the money, we get the pride of knowing we can make more children want to make a difference and all following generations to come. I hope this idea is different and thank you for your time.
I would lend my money to a company ( I'm making one up) that uses recycled plastics and materials to create renewable or alternative to plastics. Companies are under pressure to reduce the amount of plastics they are using and they would by off the company I had invested in. Some of the traditional plastic products like...
LEGO bricks,
plastic bags,
plastic rappers and packaging.
If I did this I would receive a lot of money for my company's (hopefully) succession and save one of the world's most terrible environment problems.
I got my information and inspiration from these sights.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-43390938
https://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/green-tech/sustainable/5-plastic-substitutes6.htm
These are both really good sites to look at and gave me lots of ideas for how we can reduce plastic but also get a lot of money in return. I haven't used much reasoning yet so these are my reasons...
One: companies are under pressure to reduce the amount of plastic they use,
Two: My company would earn a lot of money and I would get lots back,
Three: This would help the environment too.
Thank you for reading!!!!
If I had 100,000 pounds I would spend it in a football club , because if I win matches I can earn my money back.Whereas if I spent it in a game or something similar it might bring my money back , but it will take quite a long while .What made me think about this is that some people don't have the opportunities to spend it in a business probably they need medical equipment that costs a certain amount of money to keep them healthy or some people need shelter and they need even more than 100,000 pounds.People are not all the same some people can afford different things than others, thats why there are charities that help those kinds of people .Other people have different prospectives than others.When you see a homeless person on the street or a person in need that can't afford a special treatment ,some people just walk by and some stop and help.This can also be a cause of racism !
I think I would invest £100,00 for a homeless leisure centre so the homeless can come together or I would make a phone company.
I would start a buisness for children who want to play a sport but can't because of an injury or illness. I would do this because lots of kids are being held back from doing everyday things and sports because of being ill or injured. They start to have to dream about doing sports because they're stuck in a hospital bed for who knows how long, and might not be able to do sports ever again. And this SHOULDN'T happen. Just becuse somthing went wrong in everyday life and got you stuck in a hospital, dosn't mean you can't do somthing you love and get active, fit and happy.
Personally, I would spend it on medical cause. Investigating curable medican for something that the world is suffering.
LIKE:
.all kind of cancer(especially for young victims)
.any other which is effecting youngsters
.And others which are not curable (that can cause death) in countries around the world.
With that 100,000 pounds It would be either just right or not enough because we need :
.medical experts who we can rely on to create such things
.Objects, machines and others wich would help the investigation to be quicker and safer
.a human body to investigate
.And all the items that the experts would need in order for this be successful.
Of course, this will result in many lives on this Earth which can be useful for this Earth. Also, that proudness and the name of saving the world will belong to me and the people behind this success.
I can not find any defeating point to say no to this bussiness because according to me and many others, a human heart is important and valuable than other bussinessess ( especially the ones that will only result with money only to one person)
I strongly agree with you because if there was no medical treatment people would be suffering and loved ones dying everyday
Well i would like to choose a scientist because i want to diacover new things like different bacteria , how atoms connect together i guess ; find a new cure for cancer , fixs gems body ; make new materials , that why i want to be a scientist !
If i had 100,ooopounds i would have a business that donates to charity because i want to help people around the world and if i did the people who are unfortunet would have
water food and money
I would also use this money on my family because they gave me so much so I think I should give them something back.
After reasoning my options, i've decided that i would invest this money on a charity for people who need treatments, or suffer a disease and need help.
I think investing it on that would be smart, because there are a lot of people who need treatment and help, but can't afford it, and end up getting worse or maybe dying. I think I should do that because these people who are sick have done nothing wrong, they just can't afford living, and i can't think of a better thing to invest the money on.
In the beggining i thought maybe, i should invest it on homeless as they are also at risk of dying, and no one seems to be doing much about it. But that money could be spent wrongly for example for alcohol or drugs. I think if i were to help homeless I'd give them food or supplies but not money.
I also thought on investing it on a company like Amazon, as that would privilege me in the future. But then I thought that the company might not be as great in a few years, and if so it would benefit more to spend it on a good cause. I also discarded this option because there have been rumours of Amazon employees being treated badly.
In conclusion, I think spending the money on sick people would be the best option, as they need our help to survive, and are going through a very bad time. I think they deserve as much help as possible.
- neat_kiwifruit :D
I would spend my £100,000 on a business that would help all charities. It would have a website where you could make an account and it would give you activities to fundraise for different charities. After you have done it (and maybe sent in some pictures of your fundraising) the business will take the money you raised and give three quarters of it to the charity you were fundraising for. The rest would be a profit for the business. In return for your work, you would get a small reward which would get bigger as you completed bigger and harder tasks. For example, for your first task, you might just have to sell people passing glasses of drink to keep them hydrated or have an odd socks day and get people to donate. As a reward, you might get something like a t-shirt. For bigger tasks such as a 5k fun-run you might get a box of chocolates.
I would do this because it would help out charities which are in need of some money to do what they do. If they get the proceeds of the fundraising, that would give them money to spend on their help of cancer research or refugees. It would give the business a profit (even if not by much) but still help out people in need (like people who need a cure for illnesses and diseases.)
If I had 100,000 pounds i probably use for medical causes for people around the world,
E.G
-Cancer
-Disability's
-Heart Disease
-Asthma
I think this would be smart because people who are ill need more love from people and they need more treatment from the doctors and i think they need a lot more of them in the world.
Company's like Children In Need(which is happening on Friday) they help and sort out people in need.
-ME :D
I think I might choose to be a bankers boss because when the financial crisis happened there was not that much money left in the bank and because I have spent part of my money on my new business I would like to give bankers strict rules of how the money is saved and how it is given to the public. In addition why I would like to be an bankers boss is because when I spend part of my money on my new business I will keep some of the money in case there is another financial crisis that takes place.
i would choose a company that gives hostels to the homeless and cleans up the city to make it pristine and tidy.
I would create a new VR system so if you wanted to play football or other outside activities on a rainy day you would not have to go outside. It could help video game lovers be more active and want to go outside more.
I would invest in a second-hand-selling business because I could ask for 20% of the business and would get 1/5 of all the money they make. Even though I might be acting as the savvy businesswoman, it allows me to achieve the ultimate goal in finance; to make money.
I think a multi million business because of you would get more and more money using your own money by being smart about what you do with it and you could make the company an billion air company by beingsmart with your money to make you a success 😁
How would you get more money though?
i like IT
£100000 is too much money but if I was that rich I would become a doctor and help people all around the world
Or make a company which is just like Olivia 's and her friends company , and it should be called schools clubs ; it should be every school thats what i use all of my money for this perfect club for school
I would invest in the NHS because then they could look more deeply in cancer
I would spend £50,000 for the cancer department in a hospital,to cure all types of cancer.The other £50,000 I would make a office or a business centre and that way I can earn more money and the extra money I get I would gift it to homeless men and women in need for help.
I would make a home for the homeless and the poor because I can't wait to see our streets not full of homeless and poor.
Can you explain more why you want to make more homes please.
what do you mean
good i like it keep it up
That is a great idea
If I had the priveage to have 100.000 in a business I would spend 30.000 in a business of a hairdresser and I would spend 20.000 on charertes of differed cause and the rest I would give 10.000 to homless and 40.000 to the hairdresser.
Always be possertive and give respect to overs
In my opinion, making a hairdresser will be a waste of money. I agree with you helping the homeless, but you can help more people by using the money on the hairdresser for other thing.
I like when you said you would give money to charity
I would choose a soap factory, because it would mean that more people could have soap to make sure that their are keeping healthy and make sure they’re clean in case they are feeling too well. It would be quite helpful, but it would course more pollution to the air for children and adults.
If I had a 100,000 I would make a “Vegan” restaurant so everybody can eat it it will healthy choices and unhealthy choices.The restaurant will serve breakfast,lunch and tea/dinner it will be free and upstairs there will be a free hotel for homeless people or people that have gone out for a drink at the pub.I don’t think it is fair for the homeless because they must have gone through something terrible.Remember if you ever see someone on the street don’t hurt them!
In my opinion, there is a lot of possibilities to use this large sum of money, 100,000 pounds. But I think starting to make electric cars would be a good thing that can stop global warming. As well as making the world a better place, we can get more money and the role will become wealthier!!!!!
I would use my 100,000 pounds on cancer research uk so they can have a brighter future and they won’t be stuck in a special hospital 🏥
Whith my 100,000 pounds I would donate to the nhs because thay take time out of there lives to save other people’s life’s and to give people a chance of living to stop illness and for more people to be born and join the world.
I love that idea!
yeah that good to help people and get docter to stop there illness and give them food
Will you want to give all your money
I would use the money to help refugees- such as Syrians- to become safer.
I would do this by starting a campaign to make large homes around the world for homeless/refugees to be safe.
I would use some of the money to by food for them and some to buy the homes.
I will also use some of the money to make poster, bill boards and adverts to advertise our company so people can donate to help the homeless.
If I had £100,000 to invest in a business, I would build more houses to help people that have experience in the financial crisis. This way less people will be homeless and this way you could make a good profit.
Also, I think that the less people homeless the better.
Instead of spending it for useless things, you could not only help the people but the world.
To make a profit, you could rent the houses to people instead of selling them.
The homeless people could be offered a job within the interior! This would earn back even more of the spent money. So many people would be happy, which I also care about while spending the money.
I think this is a sensible way to spend the £100,000.
In my opinion, I would use £10,000 to make a food bank business to support people who are homeless and have no money. Then I would build flats to help homeless people and encourage them to get a job so then they can pay back the business while they are earning money for themselves. This would then mean my business would get the money back they spent on flats and food. With the £40,000 left I would give to a charity where they would give to the countries in the world who are encountering war to bring children and adults so the children can get to school and are provided with food and housing. Then the adults would be able to go to work and have a house.
This sounds like a great idea:-)
If I had £100,000 I would choose my own chocolate factory but instead of the flavours that everyone else knows . I would make mine up and it will be worldwide.
I would also buy clothes for the homeless people and the people from the countries encountering war.
I would then make sure they all had enough food.
I would spend 60,000 on blueprints the rest for tons of pencils and a meter stick so I can start my architect job because you can earn lots of money and quickly get back to 100,000 so you can start saving money to buy more blueprints and also mabey clay so you can shape it into how you want it to look like then give it to the builders to build the house...It takes time to finish one build but it is really worth it and you can earn millions beacause of hard work and trying.This job,I hope I get this job,is a work of art and maths also knowledge and it can save us.
I’d invest my money in creating a hospital because I would really like to be a surgeon when I grow older so making a hospital would not only help me, but it would save other people’s lives. If I have any spare money i’d give it to charity to help people in other countries as well as England.
I would create a campaign to help children in need and i would give charity to schools so every one can have a good education and I would make peoples lives so easy that they would cry with joy.I would give charity to every one so they can accomplish their dream and reach their full potential in every field of their life
I would create a new charity to help innocent lives globally. I want to create more accommodations for unfortunate people who live in war zones, such as Syria, Iraq. I also want to make some cupcakes, flapjacks in schools and sell them and once the event is over count up the money and send it to the charity.
If i had £100000 I would give it to homeless and people that need help.
If i had £100,000 i would have spent on temples, mosques and churches because then homeless people when they enter the church they know that they are save and have food and someone to sleep since churches and mosques and temples make food for everyone and people are welcome to come in even if it is not their religion and it would show someone who has gone in there that the people in there are nice and peace is what they want so they would make peace with them! I think that is what i would so!
Also i would spend it on blankets and wells and boxes and boxes and boxes of food and give i would give all that to charities so poor people have something and in poor countries and i would give them money to make them 10 or more wells so they could have some water!
If I had 100,000 pounds to invest a business I would have to have more library because if people are poor and their children can't go to school there might be a library they could go there and borrow books so they can learn from books.
If I had that much money then I would create a company that allows people to apply for jobs, ensure that people , who have lost their job they get it back.
I would invest my money in Mcdonald's because it is the most popular fast food restaurant and lots of people eat there. I think you could earn lots more money by investing here and by making more healthy food options for people to make the business even better.
This is a good idea but why McDonald's
I would split it in half so that one half can go to a building contractor so they could build houses for homeless people otherwise if they are living on the streets in the cold they could become ill and possibly die.The other half would go to the NHS because every day they are saving lives and treating people for illnesses and if they were not here, half of the people that are on the planet would not be here today so i believe they are worthy of a reward just like the building contracts that are working to provide shelter to those most in need.
i would give the chocolate business 50,000 and 50,000 to the tea business because if we didn't have tea i wouldn't know what to drink and a world with out chocolate is like the milky way with out a sun.
I would spend it on children who are homeless because with the money they would change their life and their future which is very important because if they have no money they could not save there future. I would help them to spend the money on useful things like education and housing which will improve their lives and make a big difference in their future rather than spending it on junk.
I would spend this substantial amount of money on a wealthy company such as Gucci because they would already have a proven track record of making a profit and therefore I would have more chance of gaining a return on my investment. From these profits, I could give 25% to my family, invest another 25%to the NHS, keep 25% for myself and finally donate the remaining 25% to charity.
If I had £100,000 I would invest money in sport because it helps people to keep fit and healthy but also players get paid lots of money. People also pay lots of money to watch successful sportsman and women play against each other around the world. Businesses can also invest money in sponsorship which means we can earn more money. Also it will benifet the players as they will get paid more for playing so they will want to play more making more profit
If I had $100,000 I would invest it in a business that makes littering stop and creates Pease . I would do this in order of all the fighting in this world would be put to a stop, also if littering stopped then we'll we would have a lot less animals dying without natural causes. This might all sound like a silly idea but I don't like the fights that can go on and if animals die they should die of natural causes.
Personally, I would halve this great amount of money, and invest £50,000 each to the NHS and education. I would spend this because currently the NHS is a little bit of a crisis with the finacial problems, and the NHS can put that money towards big issues, such as employing more nurses or buying specialist equipment. I would spend the other half on education because schools do not have the money at the moment for the appropriate equipment and teaching staff that is crucial to supports pupils' careers. Both the NHS and education are losing money so careful investment would be needed to ensure that the organisations make a profit and not a loss. Then the money from the profit could be reinvested and this would continue so they would continue to improve.
I would choose to invest in an online business like Amazon or a shop that could eventually become famous and rich. This is a good company to invest in because it is easy for people as the items get delivered to you. Then if it was a successful business I would deposit some money towards buying more supplies that could help support the world because with the rest of the money would go towards research that could eventually end cancer and could possibly help cure children in need and families on the street .
I would invest in the NHS because they need money to invest in cures for cancer and health for everyone and they save peoples lives every single day. My money would go into peoples health.
My opinion is I would spend £10,000 on school education as it is so crucial to students and takes a controversial part in society. Then I would take the rest of the £90,000 and put it towards something the world is hugely suffering from such as cancer no matter the age.
£90,000 or even £100,000 will not be enough to cure these people but it will an effective change to those who need that change .
i would give the burnet news £15,000 so they can keep going and not stop the burnet news club shutting down and i will give £85,000 to the primary school's around the world because kids could want to have more equipment so you
can help them with there learning so that they are more focused on their work
If I received £100,000 I would invest it in the NHS because I believe that society would benefit drastically as the country is in desperate need for medical supplies.
There are a lot of citizens that cannot afford medical bills,this would then result in them getting a lot worse or even dying,so the donation would be a great impact on England. The NHS needs more medical supplies, which would cost a great amount of money, so the £100,000 would hugely effect the situation and create a solution to the problem.
The NHS would need more medical equipment and medicines that can cure incurable diseases and save many lives, which will be useful for the society.
I understand that this isn't profitable, yet it would benefit the country extremely well.
If there was any money left over then I would spend it on people that have dislexia or have mental health issues. I know this sounds like to much but roughly 20% of the world is dyslexic this might not sound like much but it is quite a lot really, there are 450 million people in the world that have mental health issues.
I would invest £100,000 in a company that stops fly tipping because on my bus I go past a fridge or something every day in the middle of the countryside. It looks ugly and is lazy from the people doing it.
That would be eco - friendly and that is what we need on this earth because at the moment we are ruining a wonderful environment and a beautiful planet. I love the countryside (I have spent my entire life in the middle of nowhere) and it needs to be protected!!
If you spent £70,000 on a business that would get you loads of profit and spend the rest on a charity or other good cause then you could keep getting more money and donating it to charity and making profit yourself. Everybody would be happy!
I would spen my money on a charity called HOMELESS HOTEL where in different places around the globe buildings or camps would be ran , where homeless people could live comfortably , ( a roof over there head , three meals. A day ) and if the charity became more successful , start creating local buildings where they can grab a meal or a haircut or even a shower! And maybe even buy an enormous chunk of land and create it into a homeless hideaway sort of thing! Where people could place things they don’t want but can’t sell there and just generally give them things that they can’t have without the idea with no money .
If i have £100,000 i would spend it to make the world a better place.for example i would give some money to charities some to the homeless some to give to hospitals to pay for medical treatments money for schools aswell .
If I had £100,000 I would make a charity to save people with no food, dirty water and no schools and things that we have but they don’t. Also people are having wars for example Syria. People in poor countries could have illnesses or they could die because of how people are in bad conditions. If you made a charity, some lives could be saved, people would be in healthier conditions and some people could be saved from war and healed. The charity could provide food, clean water, shelter, medicine, education and give people a better life. That is why I believe I should make a charity. (I wanted to do a hospital as well except you’ll need more money.)
If I had a £100,000 I’d choose my job as a care center for old people and poor people because it’s helping people who don’t have any home which has an effect on all of us if they are because if they are homeless they can’t live anywhere so they just sit on the floor which spreads bacteria around them. When you try to help them you touch them which spreads their germ to you. This is why I want to help people from dieing from these little things.
After that, once I got enough money to go to the moon and be an astronaut, I want to explore the wonderful and interesting world of space.
If I had £100,000 to invest in a business I would donate it to a charity (Oxfam is one of the many examples) that helps the poor. My reason for doing this is because they do not have enough money to spend and they are often going hungry, they have no/limited ways of getting water and they are often going cold at night- especially if they can not afford a house.
Helping the poor can mean that you are also helping children and families in poorer countries and parts of the world. You can give families enough money to buy food, medicine and clothes over a long period of time. You can buy water filters to help them get to clean water, which reduces the chances of them getting ill, and you can supply them with enough medicine to help them get better when they are ill. As well as that with the raising amount of money the children will be able to go to school, instead of having to work long and dangerous hours to help their families.
Oxfam is an international confederation of 19 organizations working together with partners and local communities in more than 90 countries. One person in three in the world lives in poverty. Oxfam is determined to change that by reducing the power that people have against poverty.
Therefore I would donate it to Oxfam.
i would buy a airplane and make a buissnes of flying
I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY OWN BUSINESS OF BOATS BECAUSE I LIKE A LOT BOATS AND LIKE TO EAT BRANCH
jelou, if i had 100,000$ i would buy a present for my family, like a new fridge, or washing machine; i would also invite everyone to have brunch! The rest, i would donate it to a charity, thank you.
I would like to create my own business that consist in a voluntary attention to take care from the persons of the old aged pensioners. I would make money by ask for medicines and thing that could help them.
with 100,000 I would probably spend it in human health. I think cancer research would be a really good idea as with the new technologies, medicine is developing in very few time.
With this, would also gain lots of money as many companies would like to promot their products by selling them to my company, and by this way, it would also be profitable.
I would like to make a big church and I would make them pay me 5 $ to visit it
Hi! A building is an interesting choice for an investment. What might be difficult about charging people to visit a church?
But what if the have no money and are homeless
I would chose Mcdonalds because not only rich people can go because it's cheap. They win a lot of money because lots of people go during their work as it's a fast food.There are Mcdonalds in all the world and all the people what is it. So I think is a very good investment.
That’s a really good idea if I did that I would also give some money to the homeless
with 100,000 I would probably spend it in human health. I think cancer research would be a really good idea as with the new technologies, medicine is developing in very few time.
With this, would also gain lots of money as many companies would like to promot their products by selling them to my company, and by this way, it would also be profitable.
if i had that enormous amount of money to do whatever i prefer, i would keep 1/3 in a save place and the rest would go to the research of finding a better fuel than petrol. This could be something like water because there is water all around the world and we wouldn't need to be buying in petrol stations, we would just go to fountains or to the sea and get some fuel for some hours. The problem with this would be that the petrol companies would crash and they would lose money, so we would have to adopt a clean way of life
Well done for being curious and thinking about a new venture. Water is a resource that is highly valued already. lots of countries around the world don't have enough water. If you started using sea water and managed to turn it into fuel, what risk might there be?
I would chose Dominos pizza because I think the food in there is wonderful and for example one night that your mother doesn't want to cook you could easily call this place and buy a pizza and in 30 mins it would arrive at your house
I will choose to put it in a charity business because I already have all the money that I need so, what not?
I think is a good choice because there are lots of people all around the world that need that money more than me.
This will make the world a much more better place.
I would spend it in medicines for hospitals,that would help people and also I would win money by selling them
If i had £100,000 I would be a lawyer because they earn a lot of money so I can give even more money back and still earn more.
I would like to have a restaurant because you can serve food from different countries.
I would use £100,000 to create my own housing business because I helping people and I am inspired by my mum and how she helps other people if they are struggling with life. my second business would be a hairdresser because i like doing other peoples hair.
I would use £100,000 to be a hair dresser for free because I am a really nice person and I like to help them and I can fix them and make them nice and beautiful and just because I have nice clothes and hair it does not mean I should not care about them.
I would use the 100,000 to mack a pet sitting because there are a the few people how dont have time to look after there pet or are at work i woulde do pet training .
My business that would 100,000 would be MONEY SAVERS because then I could do investigation so we could see further why this financial crisis happened . Also then we could show people how to invest it would be good because then it would help a ton to stop the financial crisis happening again. It would be successful because it will reduce the amount of borrowing which means no more problems . It would show people around the world how to be wise with their money. That equals more money for the ...BANKS which is a good sign if it happened in all countries . Imagine no more financial struggling or problems.
bye please consider this
I would use the £100,000 for charity because over 2,000 people are on the dirty,old floor begging for money their also have not education.What do you think?
I agree with you, the money should be spent on the homeless.
I would invest £25,000 on a house and put the rest in a NHS medical fund to help the sick
If I had £100,000 then I would put it towards an animal charity (such as: World Horse Welfare or the RSPCA). This is because I think that the way some people treat animals is horrendous. Horses are one of the main animals to get abused. They are left in large herds, starved and ridden with illnesses. Many are left to die because of this. I think that all animals deserve a second chance. That is why I would put £100,00 towards their well-being!
I would invest it in either money for schools in refugee camps or other places as they often do not have enough equipment to learn. I would also think about investing it in research for illnesses such as cancer to make treatments kinder for young people.
I would invest in boring company now don't mistake this for a boring company that pushes pencils around I mean hole digging. Run by Elon Musk the boring company has a mission to create a tunnel that has a Hyperloop inbuilt to improve the infrastructure of local loss Angeles and later Chicago. This is a fabulous idea and here's why.
Have you ever had those days were you thought boy I wish that this traffic was moving and then did you think what if there wasn't any traffic. This is the boring company idea and it is a fabulous. The tunnel will be dug underground buy a 'boring' machine and that one area will be incorporated with a Hyperloop. A super-fast and super-efficient 'train' that use clean energy to travel and shockingly fast speeds. The over area is a small chunk that is an electric car system were you drive in and go. Such a fabulous idea for such a difficult problem.
I would invest my £100,000 on inventions that help clear up the ocean and remove greenhouse gasses from the atmosphere.
I would do this because our earth needs to be saved from climate change and global warming.
Also, ocean animals get hurt and killed by the pollution in the sea, and the £100,000 would really boost the development of machines to remove the change in the world.
I really care about the world and it would take years to get to another world if the earth was destroyed, so it would be easier and simpler if we just try to save the planet at the current moment.
If i had 100,000 pounds, i would invest it in a plastic recycling company. they would use unwanted plastic materials that can't be recycled for example, plastic coated coffee cups or sandwich wrappers. the company would make them into everyday useful things such as water bottles.
if i had £100,000 i would invest in a building company as the population is growing and more homes are needed. the company would make flats as well as houses. they would use eco friendly and good quality resources to make them better for the planet and your wallet. For an example :
Betty has just been made redundant, she is not used to living with not much to spend but has been told she has to stop renting her luxurious flat. she had to think fast, and went to a housing agency they told her she barley had enough money to buy a flat in a dodgy village . so she went to the internet and looked at my house company, we build and sell the houses, she found out about the eco friendly homes and that she had the right amount of money to pay for it! Betty happily moved into her new home! look at her now -----> :)
If I had that much money I would find a small business that i believe has potential and invest the money in that business. It could be a small restaurant, a bakery or even a sports club. But as i would be giving to a business which will make a profit i would take 5% of all the the profit made. My thinking behind this is that if the business does well then i would get a portion of the money back over time.
If I had that much money I would spend 50,000 on a restraunt to earn money but with the rest I would build a homeless shelter which is free to come in because it is not fair if I earn lots of money but others earn nothing.
I would spent it on a charity business for people in poor country such as Liberia, Zimbabwe ectr
If I had £100,000 I would give half to a charity that helps to fight diseases so that less people have to suffer or lose they lives. The charities buy the lab equipment so that the scientists can use them. As well as, paying them for the research they do, so they can find what is causing the diseases; and to help doctors to receive specified leaflets that help the health services to identify what kind of disease the patients really have. The £25,000 will go to the people who make shelter homes for refugees or emergency reasons. I would give the people who run the services the money so they can provide food and water for the people in need.The remaining £25,000 will go to the a well- known charity
called Centrepoint that provide shelter and help the homeless people rebuild their lives so that they can gain confidence to live their own lives without any help. Those are the reasons why I would share the £100,000 to different place but the same reasons why they all started
I would use £100,000 to invest in a cancer research online charity. The charity would employ scientists to investigate different methods of stopping cancer as chemotherapy is painful and extremely hard to perform. There would also be therapists employed to help people who have cancer or the family of people who have cancer that may or may not have died. This is because I have lost many people in my life to cancer. Also, using the internet means there would not be a cost for a building. Although there would be no cost for the services many people donate to charities. In addition, I would probably set up a television advert to raise awareness for the cause and have a link to get involved.
If, which I doubt, I had any money remaining, I would give it to education because this would help the future of England as it would provide children with a better chance to pass there GCSE's and A levels so they could become highly qualified in their chosen field of work and would know how to stop disasters happening in that profession.
For my business I would either use the money to build a charity for people that are not as lucky as we are. For example there are people in the world who don't have money, food or water so I'd set up a charity for them.
If I don't do that then I will use it to save the planet because waters are getting polluted and we all need to do our share of helping it get cleaned up. I would use some of that money to start a business that helps clean the waters of our world by getting better equipment to collect all the plastic in the parts of the world were their water is dirty with plastic such as some places near India and the Philippines.
Otherwise I would use the money to make a homeless charity because in some parts of the world like San Francisco in California they have homeless people on the streets all the time so I'd either make a charity or I would use that money to build a shelter of the homeless so that they could stay in the warm and you won't be seeing them in the middle of the streets shivering in the winter and looking for shade in the summer when hot.
If i had 100,000 pounds to spend on anything to invest on a business i would .....
I would start up a plastic free shop Linking back to two weeks ago when i won the weekly competition i said that plastic pollution was horrible but it is . So here it goes .
*Emailing* "oh hi how are you ?" please could i place an order for
Rice, pasta, laundry liquids , seeds, nuts flour and everything else you have got in your shop. If possible?
Collection day :
"hi please could i collect my items " "sure just have a look at your list and the amount and take that amount out of the containers and pay and the checkout" "sure it will be fine" *gets things that needs*" That's everything ...i think?"
"In total that will be £87.45"
*gets money out wallet**pays*
" thanks bye " " no worries "
At home:
"There we go only need 10 things from the shop and only seven things in packaging and the plastic free shop lasts for 2 WHOLE MONTHS "
There we go that what i would do with 100,00 pounds if i had to invest in a buisness
Thank you for reading :-)
If I had £100,000 to spend on something, I would use £50,000 to build houses. Those houses would be used by the homeless people that may have experienced the Financial Crisis. to earn back the money, I would employ the people to jobs around the interior, as they would need the money to actually survive, because only having a house doesn't mean you will have the rest. With the other half, I would make a food business so that not only the people from my houses could get food, but everyone. As the money would pay back to me quickly, I would build more houses because the population is rising. I think this way you could help many amazing people :)
I have given this comment a star as you have shown good reasoning by explaining that just because homeless people have a place to live, they will still need to earn money to pay for other expenses. It's also great how you've thought of creative ways to make sure that your business will continue to make more money and how you could use that extra to grow your business and help even more people.
If I had 100 thousand pounds I would invest the money into making a business on saving our planet as some of you may know there are loads of critical pollutions and I would like to stop that although I may not get the money back still it will have an impact on our future, my future and our planet.
If I had 1000000pounds I would use it to make a football club for kids and teenagers and 70% of the money every year would go to mental and disabled people and the rest would be shared out with the coaches. This will be a business not just one club there will be many centres around England,it will be linked to lots of big football clubs so fit strong and good youth football players can become proper professional football players and disabled and mental people get more care
Playful_pineapple says:
With my 100,000 I would use it on a Dance and Gymnastics place for children. It wouldn't cost too much to go and it would keep the kids athletic and happy. Each week would be a different kind of dance.
I would invest in the NHS because they are underpaid as it is and they deserve more money for saving peoples lives every day.
sensitive_economics and easygoing-mulberry said:
With out £100,000 we would invest it in a refugee children's camp providing schools, sports and charity payments to help families to find a home. There would be a mini-hospital for their use. We would also provide shelter and food for the whole family. We would keep the charity running by fund raising and asking businesses to sponsor us.
congenial_theory, chatty expression and protective_maths said:
With our £100,000 we thought about buying a refugee camp, with tents that are cheap enough but strong. The money would gather around to buy medical aid resources, that would help us take care of the refugees. Also, with this idea we linked physical exercises and mental health. This idea will help thses families to enjoy their life more. We thought about including health experts from the NHS to support the refugees recovery.
We want this camp to be open to anyone who is homeless or an orphan.
To keep the camp going we would put charity pots where people can donate. We would also link with other charities to donate medical supplies to us.
For the physical health side of things we felt the government could lend us the money for these people. We would also gather volunteers to help us.
These ideas would help us make a better world. We thought about some Catholic charities supporting the foundation e.g. CAFOD because they do a job like this already.

With our money we would like to open a business where people can donate anything that they don't use. This will help people in need around the world. To keep our money up we would have charity pots and ask companies to sponsor us. The money would go towards providing the basics: food and water to families in need.
I have done some research and couldn't find anything about this but if I had £100,000 to invest into a business I would give it to a company which every month or every so often give money or do something to help a charity or the homeless which would hopefully over time make peoples lives more comfortable, easier and happier.
I am skeptical of this idea. If you had £100,000 to invest then surely you could set up a business that did this. This would be easier as you would know the money giving to others was genuine and you would also be sure that you were not the only person helping as you could get other people involved.
Personally I think that it is incredibly important to feel passionate about where you would invest.I feel like I would need to invest all the money into a charity called Practical Action.
Practical Action is a dedicated charity to helping people who are vulnerable. This means they could help people in poverty and living in unsafe areas. Last year they helped 2.8 million people living in poverty.
If you think about it logically you are practically showered in money while some people are living in slums and are living of less than £3 a day. I think that this is unacceptable we are all humans and it angers me that some people are rich and do not even consider those poor people some of who do not even have a roof over their head. I would like to hope that everybody thinks like this but I understand that you might have other interests that you are more passionate. I hope that they have the same amount of importance though.
Personally,m I believe that we should invest in the palm oil issue that's ruthlessly murdering 25 orangutans a day so that we can have moisturizers and other find other solutions.
Ask yourself this: is it fair to murder innocent animals just to make us benefit our skin or looks or appearance? Is it fair to allow this?Also, ask yourself: Is it fair to sit back and o nothing?Do you want to make a difference?
If you are intrigued about this issue then you can go to: Greenpeace and sign a petition to help support this tragic issue that's striking the world.
I'd also like to say that if this issue has shocked you then please help the Indonesian orangutans and save a vulnerable,helpless animal today. Before it's to late.
If I had £100,000 to invest into a company I would create my own company. I would create a company only because I think not a lot of company now a days wouldn't have anything to help big problems. With my company I would specialize on helping the issue with palm oil. We would find another alternative for it. This would also help save the animals who live there.
I would buy a piece of land and grow that section of land filled with palm oil trees. This way I could cell it make more money for the company and stop people cutting down the trees. All of the animal who will go homeless because of this act is disgusting so this would help save there homes and let them live a better life.
What makes things a bit worse is how the Iceland video got taken down. Does this not make things look worse? Are they trying to hide something? Or is it the fact that Iceland may still use palm oil is some of the products they cell. I think if people knew where the oil came from they would refuse to use oil, of which is harming animals.
So in conclusion I would buy a piece of land to grow palm oil tree and cell it to get more money to regrow the land where the animals use to live. This way the oil will be made from trees which were not the home of many animals.
If I was given £100,000 I would invest in organizations or companies whose aims or ideas are to support and help others with financial issues and problems. One of the reasons I would do this is that if another financial crisis, or an equivalent, affected the world again then people would have someone to turn to for support and advice.
I do, however, understand that this company would also be affected by a crisis like this so instead of loaning and giving money then they would instead give advice and support which would not cost large amounts of money so they could continue to help others even whilst banks and other like business’ are struggling to keep even their own investments alive.
Another way in which this business will thrive and survive is that it will, wherever possible, stay free from banks are other external organisations to stay debt free therefore in isolation to the country's financial issues, therefore, being able to provide vital financial support and backing to those who are struggling to sustain their only source of income.
I believe the best investment would be in national security. Its no secret that terrorism is a wide spread thing. With higher security and less access to weaponry and and other hurmful objets should be restricted and highly monitored.
A positive of this would of course be lower crime rate, however it would also help solve more problems. My business would be and organisation of MP's working with citizens to create a more stable connection between the lower class and the people with more power.
THe aim of this business would be to create meeting places that had regular discussions in rooms to bring up issues with powerful people which leads into my next aim. To closely monitor crimes and criminal activity. keeping houses safe and statistics showing what is most dangerous threat to an area. This enterprise would be called CCA. Citizen Controlled Area
Environmental catastrophe, a huge problem that has been hidden from the spotlight by other problems around the world, at this stage of development in the human race: sea pollution, animal extinction and deforestation are all facing enormous problems that can be prevented with funding to charities like the WWF, RSPA and Sea Life Trust. The issue has been helped by programs and adverts such as Blue planet, Iceland's O Rang-Tang advert and Monkey Life but it is not enough we have to shed some light on this issue and make a change. That's why in my opinion I believe the £100,000 should be spent on sorting out the environmental problems the world tries to ignore or even worse hide, I hope you agree.
I would use the money for a sustainable alternative to Palm Oil. If the companies used a sustainable version , they wouldn't need to cut down the homes of orangutans for foods and shampoo.
Palm oil is literally everywhere – in our foods, cosmetics, cleaning products and fuels. Did you know that it is used in chocolate purely to make it shiny and so that it doesn’t melt as quickly? To me, this is a pointless use of a substance that is incredibly damaging to our environment. At 66 million tons annually, palm oil is the most commonly produced vegetable oil. Lots of people don’t realise this because it is disguised by a different title. People need to realise the sheer number of products it is used in.
Not only this, but it is also a source of huge profits for multinational corporations, while at the same time destroying the livelihoods of smallholders. Displacement of indigenous peoples, deforestation and loss of biodiversity are all consequences of our palm oil consumption.
It is used because of its low world market price and properties that lend themselves to processed foods have led the food industry to use it in half of all supermarket products. Palm oil can be found in frozen pizzas and biscuits , as well as body creams, soaps, makeup, candles and detergents. Despite its low market price, the cost of it on our environment far outweighs this.
Few people realize that almost half of the palm oil imported into the EU is used as biofuel. Since 2009, the blending of biofuels into motor vehicle fuels has been a major cause of deforestation, destroying the homes of many defenceless animals.
This is why I would spend the £100,000 to either find an alternative to palm oil or I would do what the company that produces Nutella have done: funded their own sustainable source.
I really like this idea because it is great for the environment but also good financially, good idea.
If I had £100,000 to invest in opening a business it would definitely be in the Tertiary sector (selling a good or providing a service). My reasoning for this is that opening a Primary (extracting raw materials) or Secondary (manufacturing) business would simply be to expensive and not achievable to maintain within the price limit. I also believe that it would be much easier to get traffic into my business especially if I locate it in a town or city centre.
As to what kind of Tertiary business I choose; it is of my most supported belief that a chicken shop or fast food restaurant would the most profitable. The goods in which I would sell ought to be cheap, tasty as well as reliable to customers. Due to its cheap cost and bountiful amount - it will be suitable for even homeless people to afford a meal - some of whom may have experienced a great loss during the financial crisis. I wouldn't worry to much about the quality of the chicken or other hygienic matters since (as previously mentioned) my business would be more dependent on reliability and quantity rather than quality.
From the excessive amounts of money I receive; I would invest in opening more restaurants and gradually increasing the quality and variety of food. After a while I would donate 20% of my yearly earnings to charity preferably helping those without a home. Due to my charitable efforts, I predict that my company would gain publicity and hence help to expand my chicken empire.
My chain of restaurants would help the homeless and the economy (since after the homeless find shelter they shall begin to work) as well as helping myself - it is a win-win situation.
I would invest my £100,000 on trying to minimize deforestation. Did you know that we cut down a football field of the Amazonian rain forest every two minutes. According to Rainforest Action Network "Tree density in primary forests varies from 50,000-100,000 trees per square km, so the maths would put this number at 3.5 billion to 7 billion trees cut down each year.". Also, according to hraikesamazon "In every square kilometer there are 247.105 acres (8) this means there are about 200 trees per acre in the Amazon rainforest. So per acre in the Amazon rainforest 52,000 pounds of oxygen is produced every year.". This is devastating for people who live in the Amazon Rainforest , as we are cutting down their homes for our luxury and pleasure. For example, we use the land for farming and livestock. Do we have to pollute the environment because we want meat, furniture and many other luxuries. This is really unfair. Save people's homes and save the environment.
If I had £100,000 I would use it for funding Tesco on the condition that they hold a homeless food and drink time so people don’t die.
That way it is double win as Tesco gets money and homeless people have food and drink as well. You may say it would be better to just fund a business that already does the homeless food and drink thing but it is better if there is as many businesses doing it as possible.According to a source I found at https://www.insider.co.uk/special-reports/high-street-shops-economy-struggling-11974317 tesco is economically struggling.
If I had £100,000 I would spend £50k on a BMW M2 and then I would spend another £2K on a surface pro 6, and like another £4k on a super computer for my bedroom. Then I would spend like another £1K on a few more monitors and I would spend another £20k on having my bedroom extended and then the rest on a hot tub to put in my bedroom.
I f I had £100000 pounds to invest, I would invest in a company that develops vaccine transport in deprived areas. Because of many vaccines' reliance on stable temperature, they are very difficult to transport and are often rendered useless if not kept correctly. Therefore, vaccine parcels often can't last more than 5 miles on the road in refrigerated containers.
With new drone technology, however, these containers can be moved much more efficiently. Any company that could create specialised transport drones for this purpose could make a large profit from selling them to NGOs and pharmaceutical companies.
This specialised invention could improve millions of lives with really simple technology.
If i had £100,000 to invest in a business i would choose funeral services. I chose this because it is a trade that somebody, at one point in their life, will need. As well as this, my money will not only go towards manufacturing coffins and embalming bodies but it will also go to helping families cope with bereavement and counselling to help cope with the loss of a loved one.
If I had a second choice, I would use the money to help research with cancer treatments and prevention. Did you know that 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer this month and 1 in 3 people are developing the disease right now. Also, 12.7 million people are diagnosed with cancer and 7.6 million of them die. i believe that putting the money towards cancer can prevent it from killing in the future. Any remaining money would go to the NHS staffing so that medical care can progress.
If i had 100,000 pounds to invest in a business, i would start a new charity to help refugees who are having a bad time.
I would like to help them because i have learned about how the refugees suffer and the hard things that they need to cope with, which makes their lives miserable. An example of this is the Rohingya refugee crisis which happened in Myanmar. I believe this is a good idea because they are having a hard time in life while others can relax at home without any worries. It will make a great impact on their lives and let them have an opportunity to enjoy their life. It is time that someone should stand up for their rights and help them to get through their harsh life.
I think that it will also make an impact on everyone else too. It can make people think about how lucky they are to live a life where they are not discriminated against. It can motivate people to help out to change the lives of the ill-treated refugees.
If I had £100,000 I would I would build a shop where anyone can donate anything they don't want anymore. By this, it would make more room in their house. Also homeless people who don't get charismas present (even though I don't) will have some and feel loved. If they don't celebrate charismas they can have it has a normal present. For example, Jeff has be homeless for about 1 year. When it's charismas he see's everyone with a smile on their face and he feels left out. Meanwhile Jinan want's to make someone happy for charismas so she comes to the donation shop and donates a blanket, pillow and a tidy bear. Then the shop keeper brings it to Jeff and he feels something he has not felt in a long time happiness .So even little things like that can put a smile on someone's face.
I would use that £100,000 to actually HELP the world, rather than wasting it on things that won't help anyone.
There are companies out there helping those who aren't as fortunate as others, and they are having financial problems.
I would use that money to help them so that the money doesn't go to waste.
Also, I would use the money to support plastic ocean companies that try to help the aquatic life in the sea.
What I'm trying to say is that we should use the money for helpful things, rather than using it selfishly forourselves.
If I had 100,000 pounds I would give it to a charity because they are helping those who need money instead of keeping that money for myself. That's what I would do. what do you think?
If I had this amount of money I would choose to help education. This is because the government does not have enough money to give schools everything they need, so if we did this then schools could get good equipment and education could be improved.
If I had £100,000 to invest in a business, I would setup a community development business, which involves a combination of community workshops, a community coffee shop, community restaurant, community garden and community grocery with a community-selling place and a community advice centre.
In order to do this task, firstly, I have to look for a potential location, where all the local community can access which has a large garden with a building that can then be converted into four different departments named below:
1. Community workshop
2. Community Coffee shop and Restaurant
3. Grocery and goods selling shop
4. Community advice centre
I will spend 75% of the money to setup this business and keep 25% of the money in a savings account in order to use it to develop this business further and use it if any unknown emergency happened or use it for rainy days.
How to make money through this business:
1. I can use the community grocery and goods shop to sell day-to-day important items to the people using skilful community sales people. The 75% of the profit will be given to those people as their wages and I will keep 25% of the profit. I can also use this shop to sell any unwanted items that belongs to the local people (such as old toys and used clothes). The 50% of the profit of these items will be given back to the person who brought these items and the other 50% will be given to a charity nominated by the person who brought these items.
2. The community coffee shop and restaurant can be used as a normal day-to-day coffee shop and restaurant. I can use local chefs and people who have interests about catering business. The workers of this food place get 75% of the profit as their wages and I will keep 25% of the profit. This food shop I can use as a community entertainment and mingling place. The food in this shop can be sell to elderly/disable people and children much cheaper price than the normal people. Everyday, I can sell one special dish using different ethnic groups of my community chefs in order for the local community to taste his/her country’s food.
3. In the community garden, I will divide the area into small plots and give these plots to the local community to grow fruit and vegetables and these fruit and vegetables can be sold in the community shop. I will keep 25% of the profit of these fruit and vegetables and the 75% of that profit will be given back to the person who grew these fruit and vegetables. I will involve local community (especially elderly people and children) to have an enjoyable experience of gardening and give them advice on how to do better gardening with a community adviser.
4. I can use the community workshop to invite local talented people to create hand made goods such as jewellery, handmade ceramic items, paintings etc. The 75% of the profit of selling these items will be given to the person who created it and I will keep 25% of it. In addition, I can use this workshop to teach the local community how to create these handmade items through local experts.
5. I can use the community advice centre to advice day-to-day problems community people are having, inviting professional advisory people in the community (Such as legal advice, advice about children, advice how to build business, advice to stop anti-social behaviour and, some medical advice through local doctors / nurses etc.)
The 25% of the profit I am having is used to pay the rent of the premises, council tax, electricity, phone / internet charges, water charges, all the other expenses, my wages and small amount of my profit which I can use to expand my business.
In my opinion, this business will be beneficial to my local community in so many different ways such as creating new jobs, joining other local businesses and organisations to help each other and also giving an enjoyable place which all the local people can share their ideas, organize fun games and trips. In addition, through this project, we can help ambitious local people to arrange small loans to help them to start their new business joining local rich entrepreneurs. Through this, we can develop my community. In addition, I can introduce this project to other communities to develop themselves, which overall; the country can develop itself through this idea. This idea can be introduced to all the countries in the world, so people can help each other and grow together to have a better future.
I think you might have some people that would like to be join investors with you!
On your number one idea, I am skeptical . As much as it is a nice and moral idea to give to charity, the business would need to earn money otherwise it would have to shut down. Also, some people refuse to buy used items which means you will have a smaller market and therefore not earn as much money.
Great example of scepticism - well done!
This was a great point and I have quoted you in the winners announcement above. Well done!
If I had 100,000, I would first keep 5000 for myself then the rest(95,000) I would make a super market, which can only be used by the poor. I think that it should only be used by the poor as everything in the shop would be £1 or less . This will help their family members and them self. If I had a lot of income, I would go round the streets every day and give a little to every homeless person. Also, this may mean that they will have enough money to buy a house.
With 100,000 pounds I would start a charity for the homeless and cancer.
I would make my own invtion to keep people healthy and people with cancer can get better easy and quicker then they could because is a lovely thing to help people is a lovely thing to do and is nicest when people get better from a horrible causes. Xx👩💻⛄️
finally at the bottom of this page
If I had £100,000 I would invest in Cancer research. I would do this because in the UK 359,734 people were diagnosed with cancer in 2015.Out of this 163,930 people passed away due to cancer.This could increase but also decrease with research. However research costs money.So if we donate £100,000 we could research more an prevent this deadly disease before it gets worst.
If I had that amount of money, I would invest my money in a cure in HIV. I would do this because I have had relatives with this problem and it broke my hard knowing that they have to take pills every. single. day. It broke my heart how I soon learnt that their life expectancy dropped my 20 percent. It broke my heart knowing how a disease that dangerously powerful could be transmitted. You might be thinking, why not cancer? I simply say, we are close to curing it. That is why I would spend my 100 000 pounds in curing HIV.
If I had $100,ooo I would save 1/4 of it in case another crisis happened and I would spend 1/4 on hospitals so that people could keep healthy. I would spend another quarter on a big company like Amazon so that I could make money to invest it on other things. But, I wouldn´t spend all in a company because if it closed there wouldn´t be any money left. I would spend the 1/4 left on a charity to help people who need our help, for example homeless people would decrease and it would be better for them.😊
That sounds like a great idea
I think that is a really good idea, mainly your point about if the business closed down you would not have wasted £100,000.
If I have 100,000 pounds I could sent it to a charity and help homeless people, give then essencial things like, food, clothes, water.. I would no give then money, I would buy that things with that money .
Give then a warm bed, electricity...
If I even ever had that much money(as a bank) I would defintely spend it on a good cause. I personally think Global warming is a serious issue, animals dying, climate changes,etc. Anyway, I would invest some of the money in a charity that helps this issue. Maybe helping with the great Pacific Garbage Patch which is a serious issue for sea creatures. Seriously, what did they do to deserve it?
Anyhow, another part of my money I would invest in Cancer, because millions of people die each year because of this terrifying disease. Especially for kids as they are too young to go through the disease, even though I would still give some money to help other people.
The rest of my money I would save (in my bank) incase anything else happened like a crisis or just anything in general.
If I had £100,000 to invest in a business, I would invest it in something which would positively impact the environment, but also possibly make me money. Something such as this would be new filters which filter plastic from the ocean. A company has started to make huge filters which filter plastic out of our oceans, and I would probably invest in something like that. If I did, I make make money if the company does, and if the company does not, I would still have helped the environment in some way. As well as this, it would lift some of the pressure off the government to help the environment more, so that they could spend more money on te health service and education, benefitting everyone, including me. However, would this be my money or would I be given it. If I was given it then I would definitely spend it on what I have mentioned, but if I already had te money and it was coming out of my living, then I might be more hesitant to invest it in anything, just in case something bad happens. If I had more money to spend than just £100,000, which is not very much considering, then I would be able to make a bigger impact.
I would too. Great minds think alike as they say. Well done for winning last week's competition. keep it up
Thanks, I also really like your idea for splitting the money and helping homeless people, even though you might not get any money from it. It is very thoughtful.
If I had 100,000 pounds I would set up a shelter for the homeless people for 50,000 and with the other 50,000 pounds I would give it to the NHS because they help lots of people's lives.
I would also set up a van which I would cook food on then go to as many homeless people as I could and give them the food for free and give them a blanket and pillow to sleep with. I would also give the money to charity so they can help the homeless to.
I wold invest half of the money in a charity like Children In Need because their work is very special to children who have disabilities and have conditions which others don`t have and the other half would be for people who don`t have a home and are homeless form the Financial Crisis.
I would choose to invest in a worthwhile charity such as the SVP or cancer research as they are funded by the public and without the funding they are given they would have no money to help people in need and support them in what they do.
I would probably spend around £60'000 buying a food chariity or help the poor or would also create a sanctuary so the homless have somewhere to live. the rest of the money (£40,000) i would probably spend the moeny with my friends or give even more moey to the homless because
1. I think i deserve the money and giive half of it to the poor
2. The poor do need money and clothes
3. who wouuldn't want £20'000 to spend on themselves.
Althogh if i don't have enough money to buy the business then ill have to borrow money from the bank, and what if i can't pay the mortgae than the business will have to shut down and i could potentially loose my house aswell. This is like the man who bought a magazine business but it wasn't doing well and not making money so he couldn't pay back the mortgage. So the bank had to force him to ove out of his house and he had to lve in a hostel. I don't evn know what a hostel is but i don't think i would want to live in there for one bit. If this was real life and i really did have a business and it shut down then i would be in a very sticky situation.
Please reply and what would you choose??????????
If I had £100,000, I’d buy Toys ‘R’ Us as they seem to have closed down. The main reason it closed down was because everyone nowadays doesn’t walk to the shop and buy stuff from the internet. So, I’d also create an online website for people to buy toys. For the people who didn’t have their money payed back I’d make a deal: For every £1 they’d lost, I’d pay the 2p. If they’d lost £20,000, I’d only have to pay £400, 1/125 of what money I had in the beginning (£100,000). The rest of the money I’d just pay for people to deliver all of the toys. Slowly, increasing all the time, the money would start rolling in, I could be a millionaire by the time I’m an adult! By that time, I could start donating to charities though my main idea is to then give money to NHS so they can save the lives of more people!
If I had £100,000 to invest in a business, I would invest it in a recycling company. I would want to buy the technology to recycle materials that are usually difficult to recycle like paper coffee cups. At the moment these can only be sent to two recycling plants in the country, which means that most of the coffee cups people use end up in landfill sites. I would like to do this to help the environment and the animals that live on this planet. Lots of our rubbish end up harming animals on the land or in the sea. I love animals and want to protect our beautiful world, so I think this would be a great investment.
I would invest in a charity like cancer research as that money can really help and possibly change someones life, i would be thrilled to know that i have done something so great like that.
We would invest the money in a technology company. The world's technology is always improving, so this is a growth area. People always want the latest technology, and most people have it or want it in their homes or with them. This means we could make a lot of money, and meet a demand. It would mean that everyone was happy - customers with the technology would be happy, and the business would be happy because they would make a good profit. It would open up jobs as well. It could expand to do things like provide data services and work with different companies. With new jobs, people would have opportunities to do work they enjoyed. Some famous people might use our products, and that would mean other people would want them. Most people use technology so there is a huge market. If the company makes lots of money, it could then use some of the profits to support important causes, like environmental causes.
