in response to: LUCKIEST

im a from Santa Ana Ca on the border of orange... i would most likely have the shop 4 blocks away from where i live just because it is a key area and has the potential of bringing in alot of customers revenue.
ALthough i am young i have the knowledge and understanding of how a businness works .

What bout you? whats your background?

Find a small business development center (SBDC) in your area - might start with the chamber of commerce - they can point you in the right direction. As the SBDCs are part of the SBA - there is no cost to use them. They can help you develop and research a business plan. This will get you started on the right path.

They should also be able to provide insight into financing options.
