    Hello, I remember seeing a post in the charity and small biz section earlier in the year which might be a help :) What charity are you doing it for? :)

    Yes, this has been discussed before and the issue is how are you going to fund this venture? How can you be sure that you are going to sell enough goods to pay the rent, rates, utilities, etc to have something over to pay yourself and donate to the charity?

    The older threads are here and here. I'm not going to do a merge (yet) because they were slightly different enquiries, and I am not sure which of them you're closest to, if that makes sense.
