Hi i understand the purpose of a business plan and how important it is, but i was just wondering if there is anything im forgetting such as hidden/unexpected costs.
inventory, rent, untilities, internet/phone, renos (if needed), advertisement.
I am trying to start up a business in about 1-2 years and am gathering info now. ie. asking Px's how they found us and what they like etc. looking at different lab prices (i will be outsourcing in the beginning) and frame designers. i have looked at many posts about prodesign and would like to build my product around brands like this. most in my area carry lux and safil, but i like colous and giving the customer a good selection.
I would like to know any tips or good info to follow from those that have succeeded in planning and running their optical business. I realize that a business plan will roughly give me the amount i will need for expenses, and sheets such as cash flow, but i would like to (if any idea) of a mid range-high end store (frames 200-500), not too big, seding jobs out for now (hopefully if all goes well purchase lab equipment)
ahhh, i know im all over the place, but any posts are greatly appreciated!
Thank you again!
