Starting A Small Business From Scratch Is Wild!
How do you go from being a retired cop and her kid still in high school to business owners? Well I can't speak for others but here is how we did it!
How it Started
It all started with a typical conversation with our high schooler about what she wanted to do with her life. Unsurprisingly the answer was art. That turned into a brainstorming session about how to pay the bills with art. Which evolved into owning a paint your own pottery store.
Preparation
After months of research, phone calls, calculations and several revisions we were able to put together a solid business plan and secure a SBA loan!
The search begins...
There are many retail storefront options in Pembroke Pines. Finding the right fit was very important to us. We looked at many shops and negotiated with several different landlords.
And it continues until.....
The search for a studio continued for what felt like forever but was really only a few months.
