Smile New Business

Hi Guys

I'm thinking very seriously about starting my own business in the Cornwall area. Initially I'd be looking at selling Vivs, substrate, accessories, Livefood etc (not animals at this stage), I'm just wondering if anyone is a sales rep for any reptile accessory manufactors, or would help by pointing me in the right direction of trade suppliers.

Thank you in advance for any help and/or advice your able to give.

Simon

hi, if i was you i would wait and get your licence to sell animals unless you are doing it by internet/ website but i wouldnt open a shop just selling accessories. I think when most people got to a shop to buy suplies i think they like to look at the reptiles they have in the shop, i know i would rather go to a shop that sold reps aswell.

Fully understand what you're saying, however the location I'm looking at has a somewhat 'captive customer' - hard to expain without giving too much away, but i don't believe that the property will allow reps to be sold, hence why i would need to stick to vivs etc.

Thank you for your advice tho.
