Good luck but whatever figure you arrive at double it at least.

Try and take it easy to begin with - dont be like a kid in a sweetie shop when visiting wholsalers/sundry suppliers

I used to have a lot of wastage when I started last year cos what I liked/thought would sell didnt always suit the market here.

Get a good book - buying and running a florist shop by Alan Peck - I found helpful. I sure there are many others but this was written in clear easy to understand lingo
