    lets get some details...
    And if your thinking about a fish business I would strongly recommend against it, however Inwall75 (Curt) will be able to help you out more than you can believe since he has rescued quite a few lfs throughout his career

    Started a pet store from scratch in a very small town in August 2008. I'm still in business and growing pretty much every month since start up. I'd be glad to help if I can.

    I have owned a few businesses over the years. We started our current business nearly three years ago, and it's doing great despite the "economy". We make and install granite countertops, laser measuring, cnc fabrication etc.

    I left public accounting 15 years back - I use to help people get incorporated when they decided to go out on their own. What info are you looking for?

    I currently own a small aquarium design, installation, and maintenance company and sell livestock to customers.

    I've been doing it for 5 years and I'm getting tired of it. I really want to open an online business of some sort, not necessarily aquarium related.

    Thinking about a website design/lead marketing firm and just out-sourcing all of it.
