How to start a business, reatail store..? -

My best friend is thinking of starting his own retail store in Sydney.He is going to sell hip hop clothing, sneakers etc.Is there a course he can take to learn all the basics of starting a business?Is there any advice you can give?Its only going to be a small store he will have one full time worker, plus himself and someone who works weekends. Obviously some one will have to do the accounts once a week or so..

Look for the book In Business For Yourself by Bruce Williams. It is a good introductory guide to starting your own company. There are several books on the subject, but for beginners, this is one of the best.Talk to your local Small Business Administration, or Ministry of Economic Development, or your local Chamber of Commerce for advice on getting started.Good luck.

It s a lot of work, you say one full time worker and someone to work weekends....expect to put in twice as much time as you have planned out already. Hard work and determination.
