What is the best way to get working capital that you don’t have to pay back????? I would like to do a vintage clothing shop. I live in San Francisco now and I think I see a real gap in the market. I think I perceive a niche in it for me.

I understand online had low starting cost. Brick and mortar requires a little more. Market research, location, cash flow and forecast statements, business plan, fixed cost are something you don’t want to overlook. How much would you need to cover your monthly expenses. your Small business grants, kick starter, family and friends cash, bootstrapping, consignment. look up lean startup model, connect with other small business entrepreneur groups.

I know, you can sell your stuff on Etsy. But, I would love to do that wholesome thing. I would like to experience the work of a store owner, and experience a brick and mortar shop where you are interacting with customers and buyers and things. Where you are super-busy and doing something for your whole community.

I had a previous experience with starting a company. I was the sole proprietor of “Smith’s Cozy Home HK”
I decided to end it after 7 years but could always pick it up again. I am working as a professional caregiver and I’m loving it. They say: “don’t quit your day job.” But if I could find what I wanted, that’s would be neat. If my business goals and dreams come true, snm.

Look into small business loans.

I was married for 3 years & she left 1 day bc she realized that she was no longer “happy”. A week later, I caught her in a parking lot w/ her coworker & finalized the divorce. In my mind she was perfect in every way except for the infidelity. After 8 months of therapy and on and off dating, I got into a new relationship but I became commitment phobic & see flaws when I compare my ex to my new gf. 1yr has passed now and I still feel like I’m settling and not mad in love. Wwyd? 2y since divorce.

Investors should be skeptical of history-based models. Constructed by a nerdy-sounding priesthood using esoteric terms such as beta, gamma, sigma and the like, these models tend to look impressive. Too often, though, investors forget to examine the assumptions behind the models. Beware of geeks bearing formulas.
