So you think you want to start up a Longarm Business


Do you know what that entails?
Do you have the stock, inventory of thread, machine and standby machine, patience and a supportive partner?
Are you an on line junkie who can create your own website?
How will you advertise?
Are there grants available to you to start your own business?
Do you know how to write up a business plan and how to follow it?
Are you curious enough to do your research, contact gov't bodies for funding, try out free diy website creation
What type of business will you conduct? Will you sell your wares of top stitch other's creations
DO you know how to charge and what to charge?

These are a few questions that you should be asking yourself and hopefully you will find the answers
There is a lot of information on line for small businesses and how to set up
