How much money would I initially need to open a small fashion retail store? -

??

depends on where you live, the cost of licenses, and the cost of place your going to sell out of, not to mention the initial cost of your merchandise. for example if you rent space in a mall or a street front store will you be required to pay rent, utilities and whatever decorating or fixtures your going to need.if your on the main drag the cost would be higher than if your on a hard to find dead end street.are you making any of the clothes yourself or buying wholesale?use this calculatorhttp://retail.about.com/library/bl_start��

Your first stop should be visiting The Small Business Administration (http://www.sba.gov/). This site will be your go-to site for understanding what is needed to start your own business. They provide instructions, guidelines and resources to get your business up and running.I know the thought of opening up a fashion retail store may be in its very early stages, but you may want to check out or bookmark this site, http://www.l-trondirect.com/ once you get it up and running. My friend recently opened up a small retail store in town and he was looking for barcode scanners to track his inventory and purchasing point-of-purchase equipment, like those electronic signature pads you find at many stores near the checkout. This site was a huge help when it came to equipping the store to manage the product sold, capturing payment methods of his customers and whatnot. You may find this site useful in time.Best of luck to you!

Check out Entrepreneurs Small Business Magazine. They have start up business manuals and may have one for fashion retail. The books tell you everything you need to know. Before you buy one, visit the local library because they may have one you can sample.

Tips for starting a neighbourhood snow shovelling service? -

Any tips would be fine.Finance/prices, setting up, advertisement, etc. Any advice is appreciated :)

Start a survey now... Just write up a questionaire that asks the following: We are doing a marketing survey, and would appreciate your opinion in this matter. No name is required, and there is nothing to buy. * approximately how big is your yard?* do you shovel your own snow (or have snow blower and such?)* if so, how much of it do you do? (just door to curb, etc.)* how much would you pay for such a service when it snows?* if such a service is retained, power tools or manual shoveling?* any other opinions you have on this, please write in below. Then knock on each door and see if you can get a live person, or if not, leave the survey taped to the door, with a note that you ll come back for it in 2 days, just leave it taped on the door as well. Once you *have* the market data, you can then calculate costs, like cost of shovels, hiring help, renting / buying power equipment, and so on, and determine if the price people are willing to pay will make you a profit. Advertising can be done almost the same way: door to door tie a brochure to someone s door knob or mailbox. However, keep in mind that it s better to start a real corp to do this, for liability issues, as you do want to buy insurance and stuff like that, in case something happens, you know. :)

How long is one business day and what does it mean? -

i was wondering because when i order shipments, they always say, 1 or 2 business day

You ll get it between 1 and 2 days, not counting any weekends. So if you order on a Friday, you won t get it until Monday or Tuesday.

a business day is monday to friday usually 9 to 5 .. this is the time when the ups/fed ex. etc etc are at work collecting and distributing mail .. they do not work on weekends and therefore if you order something on a friday you will not get it until monday or tuesday !hope this helps !

9 am to 5 pm is standard but sometimes 8 am to 4 pm

A business day just means a week day, Monday thru Friday, it does not include weekends.

Mesmerizing Experiences for Aromatherapy Reflexology, I may be wrong or right, I normally go to a place which says very clearly, that it has Aromatherapy Reflexology, Once a person is in your outlet or spa or whatever, then only they will see your other products which you want to sell, 1 more thing always never push a client to buy this or that too hard, many don t like it and they may stop coming to you cause you are trying to hard to sell, Good Luck God Bless
