Now what I'm about to say, don't take it as me discouraging you. But this business, the timing is off. If you spent money so far into this, I'd put whatever it is you spent it on into storage and hold off it for now. Your business is certainly more capital-dependent than others (requires brick & mortar, feeding fish, utilities to keep it all going, etc). I'm not saying no, I'm saying maybe not right now. Work on something less capital-intensive with a larger audience. Do something Gary Vaynerchuk-esque and be that guru/expert on all things plants and fish or what not. Make it hip and transcend (a likely older) customer-base as Gary did (look up his Wine Library TV videos). Low cost, high margin. My first fastlane business is started on less than $300 that I'd be claiming back completely on my taxes.Really really would, but the plant system is much more complex that it seems. I have fish in the system. Constant moving, environmental changes will stress them all out and they get sick. No fish --> no nutrients --> plants quality decreases --> customer satisfaction drops --> sales drop --> business dies. It is a 100% must to have a place to live with heat, electicity, water for this business.
