hey does any one here own a import shop...i want to open one up and want to know all the things i need to make this happen....thanks

 

Be aware you are asking for anyone to assist you in creating competition for themselves , kinda counter productive for their niche in the market. I can commend you for wanting your own business, I own mine(not a shop). Here's the challenge. If you want a great shop with customers, where are the customers going to come from? See where we're going here? So become Sherlock Holmes and gather info, without stepping on the toes of the competition.

 

I disagree zeck77 ... I will be more then glad to help you. It is not nececerily creating competion for yourself...epescially if they aren't even in your same city....let alone sate. There is 4 import shops in my town (including mine) and the 2 citys next to my city has import shops in them too...this doesn't mean I should feel threatened...As long as I got good customer service, good products and reasonable prices I will stay with prices. If you are in cali and don't want to help a guy try and build a store in jersey because you are afraid he will steal your customers...lol...then your store must really suck for you customers to be willing to travel from ca to nj just to buy some parts!! Competion is a healty thing...thats why monopoly is illegal...he just wants help starting out...legal sh*t..anyway b16acrx I will try and help you with what paperwork you need.,...send me a PM..

 

thanks redlinerz I will send you a pm now...

 

Your right on helping others outside your geographical area, it's no biggie. It's not my intension to discourage anyone from steppin up to the plate and do something great. I'm just sharing a realistic perspective...you know it's like the contractor that trains a carpenter who eventually quits to become a contractor and under bid his old boss. I know that's not exactly the same thing, and at the same time you see what I meant. No hard feelings, shoot for the stars!
