Florist News

Hello Everyone!

Im actually new to this site.
I would like some advice. I went to college to study floristry last year. Sadly I did not complete the course due to personal home problems. (Even worse... I was so close to the end!)

I would like to start my own business at home as I do feel I learnt enough to start. Im just getting a lil lost about where to start. Any advice that people have will be much appreciatted.

Thankyou

Starting a business is so hard. Just do lots of research into Tax returns etc etc. Make sure you are aloud to run a business from home. It can be rewarding so good luck, but.......................................
In my opinion,,,,,, and it is just an opinion. I did 5 years floristry training altogether and still had lots to learn when I started my business. You may feel you know enough, as did I, But you really will be suprised. Good luck

Hi Katie you can apply to join the freelance section in your user cp.. under group memberships, that is strictly for homeworkers.

Thankyou for your reply. As someone who has a business, would you advise I go back into studying and do more work experience before I go it alone?

hi katie im in my 3rd year of study and defo dont know enough, tbh i am not getting enough hands on at college so have asked someone to bench train me in the shop and i recon i did more aquas in 4 hours than i have done in all the time ive been studying so if its hands on practice your after i would ask a local florist for work experience
hope all goes well for you xx

I'd seriously consider getting some work experience first. And ditto to all those who said they didn't know enough, even now!

Hi Katie!!

I started my shop after a year and a half training plus working right the way through that as well as another year and a half full time working....

Even then i didnt know enough!

Id get some work experience and refresh your skills GL x

Thankyou so much for all your advice

I hope I didnt sound like I thought I knew it all though. Its hard to put into words what you mean in text form.

Im going to take everything you have all advised on board
