Any tips on setting up business?
I have an Idea to set up an outlet in my home city, from a permanant market stall (more like 'real' premises than a stall). I would like to sell aquatic 'hardware' and foodstuffs etc. but not fish. This is because the Hall is not heated and I think that in the evenings the heaterstats would struggle!
I feel there is a real market for such a stall because there is no longer anything like it in the city, they are all on the outskirts. The footfall is good, I would be surrounded by Butcher, Fruit and veg stalls etc (You name it), and also a cafe on the top floor...
The only problem I have is backing. To get a business loan I have to front 30% of capitol, bank make up rest in a loan. Have written to Hagen to see if they do backing in return for advertising and equipment stocking agreements.
Any advice would be welcome
