Associations may be a good avenue to explore. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links.
Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:
* Starting A Flower And Gift Shop by Millicent Gray Lownes-Jackson
* Start and Run a Profitable Retail Business by Jim Dion, Ted Topping
* Retail Business Kit for Dummies by Rick Segel
* Specialty Shop Retailing: How to Run Your Own Store Revised by Carol L. Schroeder
* So You Want To Own The Store: Secrets to Running a Successful Retail Operation by Mort Brown
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

.THE best way is to go talk to a shop owner near by. BECAUSE they buy their flowers from a broker or green house. AND you need a business license.YOU also need a tax number so you can pay your state + federal taxes. GO to your bank and see about a merchant account so yo can take credit cards.THEN you need a talent or schooling and knowledge of how to arrange flowers. YOU need a wholesaler where you can buy gifts. Look in to sources where you can advertise.
