can 5000 dollars open a store?

Well that would be possible but this question is to vague to answer in reality. There is rent, employee wages, goods, insurance, etc that need to be considered. Good Luck

Franchises are very expensive. Most require minimum assets of $350,000. McDonalds won't consider you unless you have a million dollars. You can open your own sandwich or pizza shop for as little as $10,000. Whatever you decide, keep in mind the unexpected and unforseen. Be prepared to spend as much as 4 times the amount you think you are going to need!

You can either \n\na. start your own retail store with your brand\nb. sell them to retailers\nc. participate in trade shows\n\nThe article "Starting a Shoe Retail Store" can give you some pointers on how to go about starting this business http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol136/shoe.htm\n\nA shoe store business is not something you can start without capital and without access to credit. Loving shoes is one thing; but owning a shoe store is another. You need to have capital in order to provide for the following cost expenditures: leasing a store (the cost of which will depend on the size, design and location), displays and racks, backoffice furniture and shelving, inventory selection, business licenses and permits, insurance, marketing, and many more.\n\nTo get ideas of the latest footwear styles and to develop contacts and find suppliers in the shoe retail industry, it is important that you attend any or all of the important trade shows in this industry (participation of which also depends on the availability of resources for your travel, accomodation and trade show fees):\n\n- World Shoe Association http://www.wsashow.com/ the largest and most comprehensive footwear and related accessories event \n- Magic Marketplace http://www.magiconline.com - mainly apparel and accessories, though includes footwear as well\n- Fashion Footwear Association of New York http://www.ffany.org - largest shoe show in the East Coast\n- Shoe Market of the Americas http://www.smota.com - held 3 times a year in Miami\n- North American Shoe and Accessories Market http://www.northamericanshoe.com  - the 10th largest shoe show in the world\n- Los Angeles Shoe Show http://www.californiamarketcenter.com... \n- Southwest Shoe Expo http://www.southwestshoeexpo.com... - held 5 times a year at Dallas World Trade Center \n- Chicago Shoe Expo http://www.chicagoshoeexpo.com - a small regional trade show held 4 times a year in Chicago\n- Micam Shoevent http://www.micamonline - international trade show for medium to high end footwear held twice a year in Milan\n- GDS http://www.mdna.com - the premier shoe event held twice a year in Dusseldolf, Germany\n\nWhile you are getting your plans together, you may also want to check out the following Trade Associations for more information on this business: \n\n- National Retail Federation http://www.nrf.com \n- America Apparel and Footwear Association http://www.americanapparel.org/... \n- Electronic Retailing Association http://www.retailing.org \n- National Shoe Retailers Association http://www.nsra.org/

I don't know how feasible that is -- you're going to have to spend some money. But by researching the prospect of starting your own business -- what it entails, what you need to know, helpful hints, etc -- you'll feel better prepared to take that plunge.\n\nI found some book titles that are relevant to your specific question:\n\n* Financing Your Business Dreams With Other People's Money: How and Where to Find Money for Start-Up and Growing Businesses by Harold R. Lacy\n* The Small Business Start-Up Kit by Peri Pakroo, Peg Healy (Editor)\n* Finding Money: The Small Business Guide to Financing by Kate Lister\n* Free Money for Small Businesses and Entrepreneurs by Laurie Blum\n\nI also posted some article links in the source box.\n\nHope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

If that's the case, then you need to be creative in your definitions of space. It would depend somewhat on what kind of a store you are talking about.  Storefronts don't always need to be large or on the first floor. Sometimes an apartment or a finished basement in a commercially zoned area can be used. \n    Can the product be sold from a pushcart? Is there an alcove or alley that could be used? Open markets and bizarres have been part of our culture for centuries. Be creative. You may find that other businesses will join you as your business and reputation grows. Location is important, but if it's not available, then you must create your own.  Make sure to check local permit requirements and local regulations before starting any business.

depends on the area that the retail store is located. this is not an easily answered question and takes alot of evaluation based on area, kind of retail store, as well as number of other similar establishments in the same area....

That would be illegal, so unless you're willing to break the law and risk arrest, I'd suggest buying it. It's only $50 at most stores.

You cant start a business with $2000.\nIf youre a minority you can get better loans from the government than if youre white.\nId recommend you look up the local SBA and schedule an appointment to speak to them, they will help you understand more what you need.

None.  Use a debit card, save money, invest.

You will have to check the local ordinances but not typically. Only if you start making massive numbers of sales or are making a huge amount of money.

You need a business plan.  Investors and lenders will want to know how you intend to make money.  They will want to see all the details, from where you will be located, how much rent you will pay, how many employees you will have, how much will you pay them, how much will employee benefits and insurance cost, where will you get the raw materials for your widgets, how much will the raw materials cost, what are your projected sales, projected cost of goods sold, tax liabilities, interest expense, return on investement, marketing plan, etc.\n\nIf you can prepare a 5-year plan, working out all the details and showing that you know how you will make money and how much money based on projected sales, then people may have the confidence in you to invest.

It depends on location & what type of merchandise you have I guess. There have been 3 $ stores in this one "store" one after the other. The 1st 2 prob had no success & so that must be why there's a 3rd. \n\nI think you need to ask yourself some Qs... like:\n\n1) Does this town need a $ store ? \n2) Where will it be located ? (mall, busy area, main st? These areas would cost the most to rent a spot.)\n3) What type of murchandise are you going to sell ? \n\nI live in a big town/small city of a pop of 10 000. There's this one $ store on Main St. & it's for sale. I rarely ever see peeps in it. There's also another one & they even sold furniture. They made clothes too I believe. They later moved to the next block & got rid of what they weren't making $ on. (furniture & clothes) The $ store in the mall is doing ok I think. Be prepared to spend the $ on renting a spot in a mall tho. It's quite pricey.
