    Tips for starting a business
    I am interested in opening a specialty shoe store catering to very trendy modern women who need extended sizes and widths. How difficult is this to do? How does anyone recommend I start this process?

    I am also interested in possibly starting with an online business since I don't really have the financing to open up a store. Any suggestions would help. Thanks!

    I think the online thing is the way to go. You should be able to find suppliers that fulfill orders as you make them. Leaving the investment for stock at a minimum. Check out your Metropolitan Statistical Area info about shoe retailers. You should be able to find indexes at the local library in the reference area. Good luck!

    If you don't already have experience in this business, learn all you can about fashion and trends for larger size women.

    Also, try to take free courses, if available in your community or online about running a small business or online business.
