Garden Antiques For Sale

How do I start a shop making sure it's successful?

How do I start a successful shop? What sort of stuff is likely to be quite successful? I am interested in german military stuff, architectural antiques, nice clothes, travel, old pianos, 40's & 50's cars, trekking. Is there any theme here I am not seeing? Can any of this be turned into a business that is very successful or has been very successful in another place? Does anyone have any examples of success with this stuff?
Thanks.

Starting any business requires much research. You can get ideas from sba.gov and score.org. Also, contact your local SCORE office for reliable advice. Finally, your local community college may have an organization set up to work with folks like you who want to start a business -- contact them.

Good luck.
