Looking For Great Home Decor, Accessories, And Glass Art Vendors To Purchase From For A New Business….help!!?

Friday, July 31st, 2009

I am putting together a business plan for a home accessories, furnishing, lighting, etc…store in an upscale city/moderately tourism-driven town. Can you suggest vendors to investigate? I see things in lots of other companies catalogs that I’d love to carry, but how do you find the source? Haven’t gotten the license/tax ID yet, so haven’t had an opportunity to do market shows etc, but any input as to good starting points would be most useful! Will be doing market late summer or fall, but need some product to be excited about as I crunch all the numbers!

How Can I Buy Home Insurance If I Use One Room For My Business?

The other day I was shopping around for home insurance when an agent told me if I run my home business many carriers will mark me as “not eligible” for home insurance. Is this true? How do I get around that? What’s the best home insurance company?
