please help me open up my own Gift Basket Boutique.

Northland

Hi, my name is Ruby and I am a single stay at home mother to two children. My kids are starting to grow up and it makes me want to get out into the world and do my own thing. I tried to find work but all I could find is low income and long hours. This got me thinking that maybe I should start my own business. I had to come up with a business that would take off in this Covid-19 world.

A few weeks ago a friend was in hospital and I wanted something to cheer her up, a gift basket. I looked for three hours before I finally found one and when I did it wasn't exactly what I wanted so I decided to make my own.

BOOM! I just knew that I had found my calling.

I want to open up my own Gift Basket Boutique.

Gift Baskets customized to Your Desires and Wants at an affordable price.

Please help me with some start up funds.

First $1000.00 will go toward a the rent of a Shipping Container to work out of.

(I live in a tiny two bedroom house with no garage to start out in)

or if we receive more than hoped for the purchase of a Shipping Container for $3700.00.

Second $2500.00 will go towards office equipment laptop(cheap one) and Printer along with ink and paper, desk, tables, draws, cupbords, ect, for the inside of the shipping container(every thing has it's place and everything in it place)

third $2500.00 will go towards stock and advertising.

Stock: Baskets, Cellophane, Ribbons, Fillings ect

Advertizing: Main Daily Paper, Flyers in letterboxes, ect

I reliaes that most buisnesses fail in the first 6months, but I am hopeful that I can succeed in this endever there is next to no local competition and with Christmas not too far away I am hoping that I can be set up in time to take advantage of it.

Please help me make a future for my kids and I.
