This no-nonsense guide to opening a shop offers a fresh approach to a popular subject.

This book covers every aspect of setting up a retail business and usefully breaks the process down step-by-step.

Topics covered include how to test your idea, surviving the crucial first six months and how to make your shop work in the internet age.

There are also ready-to-use sample documents, including lease contracts and cashflow forecasts.

Not only does the book give thorough information, it is also crammed with profiles, tips and real-life advice from the figures behind extremely successful retail businesses such as Dreams, Monsoon, Liberty's, and the children's shoe store, One Small Step One Giant Leap.
