Hi everyone! I’ve just filed my first LLC & am planning to open a vintage boutique in my city- I’m completely new to owning a legitimate business of my own. I thought this would be a great question to ask as I know I’ll be making many mistakes in my first year of business.

Please feel free to comment your favorite mistake!

    You will have fixed costs, inventory acquisition cost, and variable sales. I hope your sales will exceed your costs. List your items online and offer them for local sale to increase your sales.

    I wouldn’t open such a high cost store as a first business. Consider multiple uses for your storefront.

    Whatever customers you get, figure out how to create recurring sales. Don’t give them a reason to write negative reviews. The cost of mitigating those is higher than smoothing a transaction even it it results in no profit.
