First off, hey everyone! I'm a frequenter of all types of forums and I know there's a culture here I'm not aware of and I look forward to getting to know all the regulars. I'll begin by giving some basic information. I'm 21 years old, just turned actually and I've been working on my business since the 11th grade in high school. I do not have a college degree, but have attended college for courses, and all of my experience is from hands on, meeting with real estate agents, scouting competitors, hours upon hours of research and many people who have made it themselves. I do not own my own home, but I have purchased my own car, which, of course, I am still paying on.
I've been working on a business plan, as I've said, for a little over 4-5 years now, and it has evolved. I plan on starting a retail business and already have 85% of all my distributors prepared, 80% of my business plan done, rough drafts of store layouts, my Fedtax ID#, Business license, how supplies will arrive to my store and am familiar with south carolina real estate law and tax law. I have worked in a call center two years and have recently become employeed by Verizon Wireless.
I have equipment lined up for the store, a logo, a mascot, color scheme and have already developed a culture that I wish to expand the business into. I have contacted retail store designers, custom countertop designers and many others. My plan is not for one business, but for a franchise.
I am 21 years old and I want a legacy, something that I can be proud of and work on diligently into the wee hours of the morning. I have been establishing credit for around 3 years now, using credit cards and car payments.
I am looking for someone, anyone, not only to be interested in my business idea/plan, but to be a mentor. I understand that investing and taking a risk on someone is very tough and particular, but I have put everything I have into researching and learning the retail business, how business works and even down to how to negotiate, dress, etc. I don't know if this the right outlet or format and I apologize if it isn't.
Without showing my business plan, I would like to make a quick one liner of my business.
Cirque Du Solei, Hasbro and Houdini meet Starbucks.
This will be a very hands-on and personal business, utilizing all the creativity of CDS, the fun of Hasbro/toys meeting a high class retail location that is pleasant to the eyes and is intended to be, "Hey honey, where do you want to go after dinner?" answer. If you're interested, please email me at chazhall1987@gmail.com and please respond.
I thank you all very much for taking the time to read this and I look forward to seeing the replies!
Sincerely,
Chaz Hall
