Is there anyone on the forum who set up and runs their own business?
I'm looking for advice on starting up my own business.

I'm looking at an internet based store initially but I ultimately want a little shop within the next couple of years I want to open a natural pet supplies store which supplies the most natural of foods and treats, raw and complete. Toys, beds etc which are all environmentally friendly. Chemical free shampoos, herbal pet medicines... you get the jist. Just trying to figure out initial cost, how to get hold of stock, which website host to go with, etc. I'm at the absolute beginnings with it all.

Hello you. Hubby has his own company. Under that company he has 6 brands, 4 of which are to do with scientific products involving advertising and videos (he films, produces edits etc all himself). The other 2 are mine/his One is a silver jewellery and the other is memory foam pet beds, heat pads and we are just starting to get a range together of dog fleeces. So we may be able to help you with some ideas.

Have you thought of having a chat to the business advisor at your bank?

Sorry no, I've got no advice but I thought I'd just say that if you do go for it and you have good prices + deliver to Ireland, I'll buy from you!!!!!

PF - only just noticed this thread, how's your research into this going? I've thought about doing the same thing but not sure if I'd be brave enough to do it or not. Hey if you're looking for a shop assistant you know where I am!
