Welcome!

Hi There! 

Welcome to Business Busting - or Busting into Business. I'm Rebekah and this is my blog for all things related to starting and building a new business. I'm in the basement stage of a new business and I wanted to document my process here. Hopefully, it's interesting, and maybe you'll learn something, I'll try not to crash it all into the ground!

A little background on me: I'm a 40 something who has been living in India for the past 15 years. I've been helping my ex-husband to build a software company that is still thriving and growing.  I've been heading the non-technical side of the company. HR, Admin, Finance, Marketing, everything non-technical.

I reached a point where I wanted to do something on my own. I have LOVED my experiences and the opportunities in that company, but it's not mine. Being a foreigner in India itself has been challenging - doing business as one, well, it's an uphill battle. I'm saving India for later.

Watching how the US has been going, there have been a few themes running in my head. One is how predatory the housing market is for renters and how few places there are. I'm not looking to run a charity, but I do feel that there's plenty of room to be a beneficial business rather than just something that leeches from the community. Thus Noor Holdings was born. Indiana is a business friendly state close to where my mom grew up, so that's where I'm focusing on. To start with, it is a Property Management company with plans to move into land purchases and building houses and apartments. I'll get into the growth plans at a later state. I have it all planned out, but I'm sure it won't go exactly that way, so let's take it a step at a time. 

The company is formed from an LLC point of view, and I'm hiring - or trying to  - at present. That's been an interesting exercise in and of itself and I'll get into international business difficulties in a later post. 

Until next time!
