I'm getting ready to open a furniture & home accessory consignment shop. I have approx. $7000 of which I need to use to purchase some items for a variety and the rest will be working capital such as lease, utilities deposits, etc. At the moment I've located two buildings 1) approx. 1600sq.ft @ $675/mo. 2)the second is 6,000sq.ft @$2000/mo. They both have the traffic pattern that I like. The first (because of the lower rent) seems appealing because it's in the heart of a town that is being revitalized and there are
several shops I feel are good drawing cards. They would also be ideal to do co-op advertising with.

The second location is appealing due to the space. I could grow first of all, without moving. Secondly, I have an idea that I may offer 90 day lay-a-way and I'd have space to block off for such. My question I guess, Is it feasible to plunk out $2000. plus the extras for the larger space?

Thanks so much for your time.
