does anybody have any recommendations on where to find the following business information?

I would look for a business broker to see if anyone is selling their futon business in your area. Otherwise I would get conseling advice from score and other local non profits that gives free advice to starting companies.

Here is a link to small business resources: http://www.nomorecubes.com/the-big-startup-kit/

Here are futon specfic resources:

I would look online for a supplier. some offer resellers discounts.

find an attorney or an accountant to help you setup your books and filing your biz name, vendors license, state department of taxation stuff for sales tax etc.

its a lot of work to start a business but it can be very rewarding. takes some start up funding to.

In any case good luck!

Ask anyone that is running one. They can also tell you if it is a good business to get into.

what?
