you might want to think of putting them next door to each other as in the money ex/pawn shop having one door and the chicken ice cream place having another. You want to Consider the hours in which the different places would have business. why pay some one to work for you during hours you don't need them just because the other part is open. by renting a large space with separate enters and placing a connecting door inside. you eliminate the problem of having to pay employees during hrs you don't need them. I speak from experience i owned a shop that one part was a early morning business and the other was late night . pay role killed me because i had to pay someone to be there from 8am to 1 am where with different doors i wouldn't of had to pay anyone to baby sit the other half.good idea though one roof good 2 doors better.

You can start a business now. But keep it as a corporation with a friend. When your paper work comes through, transfer ownership as a gift

Setup up a network where all your electronic equipments are connected to one central hub. It is kind of tough, but it sure will be one hell of a project.

choose online retailer... if this is a true start up company you'll go through so many problem solving episodes.  Once u handle the online business and get it going, branching out in retail locations seems a good next step to expand.

Do a "Apprentice" like tasks where that you could split girls & boys. Have them come up with fake or actually small businesses. See who makes the most money by the end of a time period.  You can incorporated assistance with local banks & business to help. I think it would be fun & a learning experience

I've been there, I decided after many failed attempts to start my own business, which is what I am in the process of doing right now. a Great website I have found is www.businessownersideacafe.com, there is a link called "cybershmooze" and you can post questions there about legitimate, low cost oppotunities. They have a business plan section, a section to help name your business, and a lot more. and since everyone one is a small business owner or is looking to be, you will be in good company. Good Luck

A wedding dress shop and wedding planning services are perfectly complementary businesses -- but it would be a lot of work. Both will put a huge demand on your time, so make sure that you have other people to help you.\n\nI suggest you first prepare a business plan to help you think through of this business. I have not seen a business plan that combines both, but you can look at business plans for these two separate businesses:\n\nWedding Consultant Business Plan (free) http://www.bplan.com/spv/3274/index.cfm\nBridal Salon Business Plan (free) http://www.referenceforbusiness.com/business-plans/Business-Plans-Volume-06/Bridal-Salon-Business-Plan.html\n\nExpect your start up costs to be anywhere from $75K-$150K depending on where you are located. Getting your space ready and your startup inventory will be the bulk of your startup expenses. Key components of your startup expenses will include\n\n- Rent/Lease\n- Leasehold improvements\n- Utilities (electricity, water)\n- Furniture including clothes racks and displays and fitting room furniture)\n- Legal (from legal structure to permits and licenses)\n- Insurance\n- Equipment including credit card terminals to alarms systems\n- Startup inventory\n- Supplies\n- Cash on hand\n\nAs for the marketing, I suggest you prepare a promotional calendar for the whole year, tying up the two businesses together. These may include:\n\n- Very interesting window and store front displays\n- Local newspaper ads \n- If you have a big event (such as opening), get radio ad spots\n- Local wedding publications -- get your press release announcing the opening of your store in there or get a writer talk about your new shop\n- Advertise online such as TheKnot.com, which has a state-by-state listings of vendors in the bridal industry\n- Be listed in local search engine directories \n- Yellow page advertising\n\nSo You Want to Own the Store : Secrets to Running a Successful Retail Operation by Mort Brown, Thomas Tilling http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0809232367/ref=nosim/powerhomebizguid \nStart and Run a Profitable Retail Business (Self-Counsel Business Series) by Jim Dion, Ted Topping (Contributor) http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1551801000/ref=nosim/powerhomebizguid\nStart Your Own Clothing Store (Entrepreneur Magazine's Start Up) (Paperback) by Entrepreneur Press http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1891984314/ref=nosim/powerhomebizguid\n\nYou also need to start scouting for a location. If you are going to find a location at the mall, here are some tips to consider http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol41/mall.htm \n\nWrite a business plan to help you plan out your business. Here are some resources that can help you write your business plan:\n\n- SBA Business Plan Basics http://www.sba.gov/starting_business/planning/basic.html\n- PowerHomeBiz.com Creating a Business Plan section http://www.powerhomebiz.com/startup/businessplan.htm\n- Entrepreneur.com Writing a Business Plan section http://www.entrepreneur.com/bizplan/0,7253,,00.html\n- Bplans.com http://www.bplans.com/sp/businessplans.cfm\n- MOOT Corp Business Plan competition winners\nhttp://www.businessplans.org/businessplans.html\n\nIf you need help in terms of guidance, you can find free advice and mentors from the following organizations:\n\nGovernment Mentoring Programs such as SBDCs, which works with community colleges and local business development councils to offer mentoring programs http://www.sba.gov/sbdc/sbdcnear.html ; or the Women's Network for Entrepreneurial Training http://www.sba.gov/womeninbusiness/wnet_roundtables.html \nVolunteer programs such as SCORE http://www.score.org  which is composed of mostly retired executives and entrepreneurs \nFormal mentoring programs such as Athena Foundation http://www.athenafoundation.org/programs/globallinks.html  , Helzberg Entrepreneurial Mentoring Program http://www.helzbergmentoring.org/HEMP/  , or The Aspen Institute MicroMentor Program http://www.micromentor.org \nProfessional

Wow! tough question! I am a businessman since 12 years and I am still looking for the answer. There are thousands of book about that subject which would describe it better than me.\nFirst be sure that your idea is genuily OK. BE SURE YOU HAVE THE KNOW HOW. I STARTED 3 businesses in retail with my partners. We lost LOTS of money of the chain of pahramcies, now it is profitable. then 2 years ago, we started with optics and children stuff things and we are still loosing money. Why? we subestimated the real costs, not adpated products, too expensive, supplliers with delays (so we get winter baby clothes on 15th december) etc etc etc. you've got the know how, do it! otherwise, RUN!\nSecond, I would say organisation \nThird: be sure you have a minimum of financial backup and and be original by providing services! people love to be treated nicely.\nAll I said also depends on the country and the business size
