I emailed this bookstore asking if they were hiring. I noticed they lacked presence on social media and their website wasn’t well made and offered my graphic design services as I’m a recent graphic design graduate. The owner said she didn’t have the budget to hire but was retiring soon and asked if i’d be interested in taking over. I know nothing about owning a business but this seems like a good opportunity so I’m trying to figure out what to do.
Agreed. If the business can’t afford and marketing services its not making any money likely and is in no condition to be bought/sold. Likely be buying a job and not a well paying one.
