I run a small clothing shop, and one of my customers suggested that we should install an aquarium. I was a little surprised, but she runs a locksmith, and said that having an aquarium is good for business because it keeps kids (and the occasional disinterested spouse) busy while the main customer shops. Has anyone had experience with this, and does it really work? If so, how big do you need? My shop is small (700 sq feet) and most of my customers are women in their 30's and 40's (yes, often with kids in tow -- that's why we have a play area with Legos).

My husband and I have lived several places since we got married 6 years ago. Ocean City, Maryland area was the personal favorite of ours, but we both decided, that with two kids that maybe it was better for us to live around family, so we moved back to our native upstate NY a few years ago. Now that the kids are older I have opened a business (lingerie, but not porn) which is successful online, but would like to open a retail shop. My husband is thrilled with the idea of having my own shop. But, we can't decide if Ocean City which we grew to love is better or if Binghamton area is. Ocean City would cost a fortune to live, as there is nothing that we can own in our price range, unless it's a mobile home on rented ground. But, the projected business profits would be a lot bigger and it's an area that we love. Binghamton business is questionable and don't know if a shop of my kind would even work out. Does anyone have any ideas or own a business in either area to give us advice?

My husband is very young 24 years old. When he was in high school and became of age to have credit, his dad took advantage of him and had my husband borrow loans for him. My husband was very young and naive and he didn't really know anything about credit. Well his father never payed back the debts and left my husband with bad credit. Then about the time my husband was 19, his father convinced him to open a small construction business with employees. Well, everything ended up under my husband's name soley and there were never any attempts to contact an accountant to handle the tax situation. In addition to construction, my husband's father had my husband buy and sell real estate under my husband's name. This went on for about 2 years and my husband being young and naive trusted his dad was doing the right thing and he thought his dad was taking care of everything, because my husband didn't really know anything about a business or taxes.
