Thinking about opening a curios business? We tell you what you need to know to get started.
Core Characteristics of Curios Company Business Plans
Your curios company's business plan needs to be tailored to your personal and professional goals while at the same time maintaining a consistency with other business plans, particularly in the critical business plan components that most business experts consider to be essential.
If your plan lacks required elements like an executive summary or marketing plan, it could jeopardize its potential to deliver real benefits to your startup.
To discuss the external factors that will influence your startup, consider dedicating a section of your business to a PEST (Political, Economic, Social & Technological) analysis.

Turning Competitors Into Collaborators
If you want to open a curios business it's a wise move to learn from folks who are already in business. If you think owners of nearby curios businesses will give you advice, think again. It'd be crazy for them to teach you the business.
But, a person who owns a curios business in a location that is not competitive to you may be willing to share their entrepreneurial wisdom with you, as long as they don't view you as a competitive threat. In fact, they are often very willing to share startup advice with you. It can take a while to find an entrepreneur who is willing to talk, but it's well worth the effort.
