Opening My Own Shop

I’ve recently opened my own shop which sells TV, comic and film memorabilia. It’s a little bit like an existing store in my city, which is great but charges simply too much. I think if I lower my costs I would get a lot of their custom, as the only other place to buy many of their items is online. I took a loan from the bank, and made sure we discussed everything with a small business adviser there to make sure we were aware of the basics. Then, we decided on a layout of the shop and hired some local shopfitters to create a bespoke floor layout. It’s almost ready to go, just in time for Christmas, and I can’t wait!
