List down a couple of items you believe will be essentials for pet owners. If you are not knowledgeable with regards to the needs of animals then try to consult someone who is.

If you feel that you do not have a large enough budget on hand then you may always consider filing for a loan from a financial firm or bank. Either way always remember that you will need to pay back your debt, so therefore only loan as much money as you can afford to pay back.

There are several ways to market your business once you have set it up. Initially the internet is the quickest and easiest choice. Otherwise you may always resort to billboards, posters, local gazettes or newspapers or radio stations to get the word out.
