RE: New extreme sports shop

If you are looking for free advice then your local business link can help normally free of charge for a couple of hours. We used a consultancy when we set up as we wanted advice quickly and also wanted someone who had experience of our type of business.

Go for it!! In our Town a shop set up just before Christmas last year and is doing very well. The kids are always in there for something or other. Are you or have you got a Skate park? If not go to your local council and ask to speak to the Tourist Information Officer and see if you cant get one going. This is what is happening in our Town and when we do get it the kids will be off the streets at last and businesses in the area should see an uplift in sales due to more people coming into the town.

Hi, I would just like to say I think your idea is good and definately a constant growing industry. Which is definately shown in the recent music trend, just look at Avril Lavigne as an example. The second post is sound advice, contact you local business link who will be able to help you with your plan and give free advice for most of your questions. They can also give you a basis and foundation on where to start. Best of luck !! Regards, Dean C2 Web Design http://www.c2webdesign.co.uk
