It would take at lease 6-8 weeks to get it sorted, and a couple of weeks to decorate it (assuming I don't put a new frontage on which I want to), so most likely wouldn't be open until Jan/Feb.

You're seriously thinking of getting involved with a bricks and mortar shop?
Short cut it by dropshipping, and if you must have a presence on 'the high street' go and dress up like one of those 'golf sale this way' people but with an iPad they can order your tat from instead of directing them to a shop.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

There's no way my bricks & mortar shop will last in it's own way without being multichannel. I already had Ebay, but I also now have an Amazon Seller account where I have recently started using Amazon FBA for some products to try it out. Domains are registered, Facebook & Instragram set up & I'm just getting a Shopmium site up. I've just agreed a courier deal with a firm that uses Parcelforce & Yodel.
A supplier I have previously used has offered me exclusivity in the area, but also has offered me products at 2 X FOB as opposed to their normal wholesale rate which is 3 x FOB as I had done some IT Work for them previously. Two of the suppliers do dropshop, so the plan is to integrate seamlessly marketplaces, shop & ecommerce into one, where the bricks and mortar can be used as a pick up location & packing, distribution point.
The offer I have made is a cash offer for the property. It's below market rates as he want's a quick sale for something else, so the plan is (If he accepts as my offer is much lower) to get the property, spend some money doing it up and then spinning it into a SIPP where I'll make a little cash from my pension fund as it will sell at market rates. Any rent is then tax deductible as the shop is set up as a sole trader and it goes directly into my Pension.
So I'm all setup, just need the guy to accept my low offer and I'm ready to roll.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment

Anyway, as for doing something: play Fortnite. It'll suck up the hours from your remaining days like you never would have thought.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment
