re: My wife to branch off and open a business.

He owns a strip mall where she will be opening, so the rent will be cheap. It will be a dress/clothes shop. He rents tuxedos and sells suits, and a lot of them are homecoming/prom. There are no dress shops where we live (boutique style). The only homecoming/prom dress store is Dillard's. He also sells Polo, Southern Tide (just a few of the "big name" clothing he sells.) We were also thinking she could sell women's Polo because the closest place to buy women's is in Gulf Port at the outlet mall. Are there any good business books anyone would suggest on how to properly run a private business? There is money to be made, but I'm just thinking of the reprocussions if it weren't to work.
