It's great to finally find something like this. I have always been interested in business ownership but didn't know a forum such as this one existed. I am based in Houston, Texas. I am interested in starting an online furniture business that does not carry inventory but has a close link with a manufacturer or designer for production as soon as orders are received. That's my goal in a nutshell. I am very excited to have found this forum and hope to learn as much as possible from you all. Thanks.
