Starting a Retail Business
hello,
I am intent on starting a non profit 2nd store, something like the Discovery Center.
After talking with a commercial real estate agent, he has informed me I need to come up with a well detailed business plan to pitch to the prospective land lord.
Honestly, I have years of retail experience and have worked closely with managers at donation centers, but putting together a business plan seems overwhelming.
Any suggestions for online training or where how I might go about understanding what is really being asked?
thanks.
Any guidance would be much appreciated.
