My friend, May, who has been running a successful home-based business selling custom-made costume jewelry, told me that she has plans to set up a small physical store to try to bring her product to a larger crowd of shoppers. In fact, she has already identified a local shopping mall that would not only be able to give her the kind of human traffic that she is looking for, especially on weekends, but only doesn't charge their tenants too high a rental.
According to May, she would be renting space, not too large but sufficient, and the best thing is that tenants like her will be provided with retail displays, a table and a chair. This means that she doesn't have to invest in any of these so her start-up capital is not too high.
May has asked if I would like to Joint Venture with her and I am seriously contemplating this opportunity to be in a REAL business. In fact, I have always fancied setting up a store like that, small it may be, but we surely have to start somewhere.
While I would have no hand in the creative aspect of the business, I could still pull my weight if I were her partner, since there are many things that I could do even though I may not know how to design or create costume jewelries. Thinking......
