Default Would anyone be-interested in co-opening a shop?

Just trying to get a feeler out on things

I'm currently doing a National Diploma in Animal Management, when I finish the course in july 2009 I'll be qualified to own and run a pet shop.

An exotics pet shop is something I really would like to consider but it's a big thing to take on alone, I was wondering if anyone on here would be interesting in co-founding an exotics pet-shop?

I have a good knowlege of leos, aquatics and small mammmals but need some people who can contribute to the start of the buisness and have knowlege in Amphibians, Larger Reps, Tortoises/Turtles etc.

Would anyone been interested?

I was always told that although an ND would help you would be better off getting the pet store management certificate as although you do it as a module most councils prefer a standalone "look at me, dedication, booyah" sort of thing. Could've just been my lecturer being over the top with getting qualified for everything though.

By larger reps would that be the monitors, large snakes, etc? Selling equipment and accessories or livestock? It's something i've always been interested in, hope you find someone compatible to do business with

fantastic, ive already got a mating pair of checkered garters im hopefully going to send the hubby over to germany sometime this year to pick up some different variations of garters that are not currently available in this country, he is wanting to breed some geckos (for fun) so he is going to understand that we cant keep any offspring.
