I've been thinking about starting an online only fabric shop. Any ideas on how to get started, finding financing if I have a poor credit history, finding Angel Investors or other Investors? I have no idea of how to do a business plan and estimate what sales and expenses would be since it would be a start up business. I've managed to find A LOT of scams while searching the internet. I don't fit into foundation guidelines and haven't found any grants I'd qualify for. I'd like to focus on reproduction and holiday fabrics and maybe others later on. HELP!!! Any advice or ideas? Anyone ever done this? I'm in MS so anyone who knows the laws,etc and could give any ideas or advice would be very much appreciated. Why is it that we never know anyone with means to help when something like this comes about? If we only knew someone who could do w/out x amount for 5-10 years! Etc, etc, etc!!! Thanks for reading and responding. Mary B MS
