My only advice is look into Laws, small business info, and insurance. (cover your butt first)



Other then that, good luck....

Anyone here doing this presently. Anyone who is selling products online intersted in giving advice I could use it.



I am sick of the Land Surveying business. I have been wanting to do this for a couple of years now. I wanted to wait another year. But might start real small and work my way up running both places at once. Then transitioning over fully to the speed shop once it starts to make money.



Did I mention I hate Fuggin Lawyers? Leaches of todays society.
Most small businesses (mine included) enable you to live well but generally you won't get rich.......but you'd have hell fun doing something you really love!

I presently own a small business so I am already somewhat familar with the local laws etc.. I am currently talking to some friends about insurance.



I found a pretty good location.



Name:



I liked "Speed Racer" but I am afraid I will get sued for copyright infringement.



Otherwise I am not sure.



I thought about a one word name - "Faster" but it now remonds me of F&F. While I hate that movie I might have to swallow my pride and go with what is smart from a marketing stand point. I have already relized I am going to have to like Hondas now.

You don't have to like Hondas, just sell bits to their owners.

I thought 'The Racers Edge' was a good name.....crap movie!



Speedworks?



Velocity?



Shop here called C-Red (with tach needle@8K logo)

I think opening a speed shop here is a good idea. There isn't one around thats really devoted to imports and the amount of ricers in PSL is un-*******-believable.



Are you planning on running a speed "shop", or just sell parts?

i.didnt.do.it - I know!! There is a gaping hole in the import scene for shops.



I will do this place up right too. You'll want to go here just because its the coolest place to hang out at. I feel if you like the place and hang out there it will help with business. Look at the Sushi bar speed shop idea its genious. I would enver attempt to dive into the restruant business I have no knowledge of it.



Robbomaz - I like your ideas. C-red is pretty good. I love the GoFast logos you see around but again copyrights. I really like simply the word FASTER.
