I want to start a liquor store business but I do not have the funds to do so. I am meeting liquor store owners to get information and advice from and how to maintain the business. I know liquor sells itself and especially on holidays and its something that is guaranteed to sell good. I am a young 24 year old male with a business degree and I'm ready to put it to use.

It has worked out well for me, starting small and working as I go along.. No one is willing to give any new business a loan at least from my experience.

Business Plans come ... only after ... establishing
product utility, product benefits, and product features

Yes, that's what I want to do is start at a small location and if the business grows I can move in a bigger spot. I can take care other things as they come along as you stated.

Ok I have a few ideas on what I want and where I want it and where to buy from at a cheaper price. I was doing research to see rules and regulations and other things to learn about it. I know I want to start off small then work my way up. Its worth giving it a shot.
