What do I need to start my flower/gift shop, besides supplies. I am starting in my home, do I need a license. Also, can u get a cooler by renting or what is the best way to get one? They are really exspensive. Please help

Hi pshycocat. I was reviewing the unanswered questions file and notice that no one responded to your posting. I am sorry for the delay.

The best place to help you find the answers to your questions, see if you are eligible for a minority loan and, find a mentor that can guide you, is through the following link:

SBA

I hope this helps. I have found it to be an excellent resource and it would be wise to check out their mentoring information. The people are usually retired business men and women who donate their time to help guide and give emotional support to young entrepreneurs such as yourself.

Good Luck in your new venture! :)
