I want to start a candy store in my area for the children. What do I need to do first? Does anyone have any ideas or websites for me to visit that would help?
Answers:
First you need a business plan. You may want to get a lawyer to help you with this. If you can't afford it, contact law schools near you. Many law school offer free services and work on projects such as creating business plans.
Go to this link for info on creating a business plan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/business_pl...
When you are creating a business plan it will help you focus on exactly what kind of store you are going to have, the demographic, ect.
You should survey places around your area and see what businesses are successful and are not. See how much it costs to rent or buy places and see what you can afford.
Then you must either have enough money or get a bank loan. You must also copy write your business name and file with the IRS.
Finally, you must have a product that is in demand and a demographic to sell to. Your best bet is talking to local business owners and asking them for their advice. Opening your own business can be very costly and time consuming, but very profitable if you do it the write way. Just do all your homework and work hard and you should do fine!
Check into the price of insurance before doing anything!!!!
