I just found about the most perfect space possible for the bicycle shop I've been trying to open, and now am desperately trying to figure out how people pay rent when they don't have any customers yet?

I just found about the most perfect space possible for the bicycle shop I've been trying to open, and now am desperately trying to figure out how people pay rent when they don't have any customers yet? I guess I need a rich business partner? Is that a thing? Anyone in the #Atlanta area want to open a bike shop in Smyrna?

@sam jump into the open maw of risk and take preorders for unknowable creations? isnt that how patreon works
-
@SarraceniaWilds hah, yah, I can see it now "Buy a custom bicycle frame from an unknown builder who's only done this once with no current delivery timeline! No guarantees!" they'll be queuing up to give me money!
-
@sam I imagine a business loan of some sort usually? Whole load of risk there though.
Hope you manage to do it though, I’d love to do it myself one day (except I’m not a good enough mechanic & have never built a frame)
-
@lewis I don't have any actual money, or anything worth any money for collateral, or credit, so no bank will give me a loan unfortunately; you have to be rich already to get more money.
-
@sam Ah yeah of course. Wouldn’t want actual people to get ahead now, would we?
-
@lewis right?!
