I want to open up a small business retail boutique selling
designer streetwear, artwork, music, and the like early next year.

What should my first steps be?
What do I do if I want to carry a clothing line in my store?
Profits are not a main concern, but how do I stay in business for awhile and work towards opening other stores?

Please help a young entrepreneur out.

Thanks.

important is you need to have some money, make a business plan, go to the small business administration in your town, get some in formations.
Look where you want to open your store, where is located, is there more stores like that, this will be not so good, find a some name for your store, and make the registrations for taxes, if you are making money over the years and your business working very good and you can open another store and more and more….
Good luck for your business…
