I am trying to start a wedding dress rental store in Las Vegas any ideas on how to start it.?
Answer:
go to http://www.sba.gov and do your five-year plan. It takes about 3 months to do but it makes you do plans and budgets and determine your expenses and projected income, etc. so you will know where you stand when you open a business.and you will know where you're going. You can also take a Small Business Administration small business course. Check your phone book for their address, give them a call.
Go 2 other wedding dress rental stores and ask them how they got started. This may seem weird, but people r actually very happy 2 tell u how they got their business started. Whether u tell them that u want 2 open ur own shop or not is ur decision.
Well one good way to start is to go to your local score office, www.score.org, for a free consultation. Score offers free advice to people looking to start a businesss. Also, I would review a busines plan for a wedding dress rental to see how it is structured and what goes into starting one. http://www.bplans.com/sp/businessplans.c. and search for wedding dress rental.s
Best of luck!
start by buying 50 or so used, or fairly cheap dresses of all sizes, and then put advertisements in hotels and at the registry office( I assume that's where you'd go for your licence). Make sure you include the sizes of dresses you carry and the cost of 1 day's rental. And get insurance for theft. Some dishonest people will take the dress home with them. Then see if you can get a deal with a local dry cleaner for bulk orders. Good Luck!

Get the very best website you can afford. Many brides have already pre-chosen such services long before they reach Las Vegas by web-surfing. I did.
Good luck to you in your new venture.
You need to obtain your business license and tax id number.
Find the best location at the best price but please keep in mind that some of the wedding chapels already offer costumes and wedding attire already.
You can find great sales during certain times of the year but that takes research on your end since every part of the States is different.
Best of luck to you!
