Hope this is the right place to post.
I've been a sahm for over two years and I really want to start doing something but I need to fit it around my DD.
I am ok financially, dp works full time, so I am not concerned with making a lot of money to start with, although obviously making a profit would be my goal.
I have about £500 in savings I could use to buy some initial stock. I have been thinking about this for nearly a year and really want to make a go of it. So my question is, how do I begin? I literally don't have a clue.
I have thought of ordering some products from a wholesaler and setting up an eBay account and putting the stock up for sale on there. Is there anything else I need to do? As it would be just an eBay selling account, do I need to officially register as a company or can that wait? And how much stock should I buy to start with? Do I spend all my money or do I just start smaller and see how it goes?
Sorry for all the questions and I don't expect to them all to be answered. I'm just sort of thinking out loud. I would appreciate any advice/guiding points in the right direction. I realise £500 isn't a huge sum, I could possibly scrape together some more if necessary but I want to know if I'm missing anything obvious before I do.
