Need some input from fellow Red Deer & Area reefer's

pmed

on a side note if you can make money at it and you enjoy it go for it start small get stocking list ideas from ppl in your area. carry one brand of salt you yourself use to start a few additives. and maybe for the first while order fish by request untill your set up completely this way you dont have livestock sitting for too long. it will be a tough road to start but being a home base buisness you canstill do some welding here and there untill takes off.

if you ship i may order from you as well

I'm not local but food for thought:

-add up your total monthly household expensives/bills
-determine how many $$'s it takes to run your household/month
-add to it a profit you need to see in order to make it worthwhile
-divide it down by roughly 30 days a month
-figure out what you'd need to sell per day


If the numbers seem do-able I say go for it!!!
If the numbers aren't looking good, do it as a "second job" open evenings and weekends!!


Cheers and g-luck!!

Go point's and have thought of all that as well, this would be a second job. After 19 years in the welding trade I am not ready to just throw in the towel on that. I will be more than likely start another welding company WITHOUT A PARTNER I might add.

I personally believe it is a very hard business...maybe as a side thing it would be ok...but for a sole income/business it would be a hard go. I'm not saying it's impossible, (but as a business major from back in the day) I know it's a rough go.

[The Grizz]

It would have to a second business / job because without a full store front I know it would not be enough to take care of all my monthly expenses.

On a more serious note, sorry to hear of partnership troubles. Good luck whatever you end up pursuing.

Kevin and I have had a conversation about this at one point but I don't have the cash for the start up cost's at this point or I would jump on it.
