Question–: Can someone give me advise on how to open a women’s clothing boutique?
I am interested in opening a small clothing boutique in the triangle area (Raleigh, NC) and I am looking for some pointers on how to get started. The boutique will consist of business casual wear such as dresses, dress pants, skirts, blouses, handbags, sunglasses, etc. You get the idea. Very upscale and chic, absolutely no jeans or t-shirts and each employee will dress business casual on a daily basis to reflect the character of the boutique. As you can see I have some pretty good ideas in mind for how things should be run and what I will sell, but I need an experts advise from the business perspective. HELP!!!

Go to http://www.score.org/mentors and enter your zip code. On the next screen, you will get information on the nearest SCORE chapter. Call them and arrange for a free meeting with a volunteer SCORE counselor. They will guide you through the process.

SCORE has 350 chapters in locations throughout the United States and its territories, with 13,000 volunteers nationwide. Both working and retired executives and business owners donate time and expertise as business mentors.

I do not want to alarm you but this is a large undertaking I would advise you to start online and see if you taste can translate into cash. This will cost a whole lot less and it will help you see all of the channels you will have to know.

forever 21, go to the beverly center to the top floor or the grove or santa monica both have one (www.forever21.com). also wet seal has some cheap clothing thats pretty cute (www.wetseal.com). You can try Ross. You can also try Goodwill, they have trendy clothes some even still have the tags on it-the best goodwill i’ve seen so far is the one on santa monica and stoner ave. Also, Westwood has some clothing stores that are cheap-on westwood blvd across from Bank of America (i forget the names of the store), theres also an excellent bag store right there too and from my experience the price on the tags can be lowered if you act like its too expensive but you really like it, the lady is nice about that. For shoes, i go to Off Broadway on sunset and orange across from In&out-they have a huge selection for discounted prices.

So much…. depends on what area you are. I am currently around the West Covina Area. There’s a store in Puente Hills Mall called “Papaya”. Really cheap. They have trendy stuff, but also the younger vibe’s definitely in. All XXI stores are cheap and hip too. Charlotte Russe may also work for you. These are in the malls.
Have fun shopping!

Forever 21 is a standard for cheap, and the Beverly Center is opening an H&M this fall. Target is also stocking some cute clothes these days.
