I have seen that social media can help you connect with people and find out about businesses, but it can also help scams to spread.” I’ve seen false stories and shady offers directed to people who are looking for new business opportunities.

I am preparing a daycare business plan and I am very cautious about where I seek advice and who I share info with. I think it is important to check the person or company well before paying for any service, or before believing in any online offer.

Does anyone else find scams or misleading offers when looking into how to start a business? What signs of warning are you looking for?
