      For example.... You want companies to hire you to make software on their behalf that they direct you to make.

      NTG makes and sells software but it is a product that we own and sell. Customers but the product that we make, they don't tell us what to make.

        Bundy & Associates is both, though mostly development. We have our own software that we wrote and will be marketing. We also develop software for client as directed.

          Now it's clearer to me. Well, I want both ways, making a software and sell it to the market while creating software based on request or client's instructions. Would that be called a Software Solutions?

            You should say either...

            "Development Company" because you sell development.

            or...

            "Software Company" because you sell software.

                Treat it as two companies. Don't mix the two.

                  I think I'd go for Development Compay because I'll be starting with my Uncles company. i'll be creating a workflow system for them. It'll be a great start for my team. Thanks!

                          @Reid-Cooper As of now, I want to start from 5 to 8 people. I would like to build a solid team before expanding.

                            @StrongBad We'll be using .Net (VBt/C#,ASP.Net), Java Script,PHP and we'll try to advance in using Objective-C if ever.

                                Very Windows focused and some Mac. Nothing more neutral like Java, Groovy, Scala, Clojure, Ruby or Python?

                                  Yeah, we're in the Philippines that's why. Most of the companies here uses windows.

                                    I do like .NET. One reason is because the libraries are nearly identical between the web side (ASP.NET) and the desktop side. If going down the .NET route, I definitely recommend C# as it uses more common syntax (very similar to PHP, Java, Javascript, etc...). .NET has TONS of libraries for doing tasks. On the flip side, there are many libraries for PHP as well to do things like this. This being said, Javascript is also a must if doing any web app. There will almost always be the need for some client-side functionality and JavaScript is what you'll usually need to do it.

                                        Or F# instead of C#. Lots of high end development prefers F#.

                                          That gained traction huh? I've been out of that game for a few years.

                                            F# gets all the serious attention these days. C# still gets the bulk of development.
