Would anyone know on here is it hard getting loan to start up a shop...Cheers

Polish food, there's plenty of them over here !!

LOL yeah there is allready a Polish food shop up the road

Why don't you ask the villagers what they want, after all there the ones who are going to benefit from your shop.

If a fish shop is the way you want to go then you can check out ebay for some bargains, theres always businesses selling off there stock/equipment as they have gone into liquidation on there.

With Food you will have to get a few regulations passed on your standards, which i know little about, maybe someone on here will know some more.

In my point of view, it's not a big issue.. But everything has its own limit.. With their hectic schedule in work, you must allow them to relax by concentrating on surfing like activities.. That will refresh their mind and helps well in concentrating with their works.. If you try to restrict your employees, they may find out alternate shortcut for surfing...

Yep I agree with admin, be open to possibilities. Listen to the general crowd & think about what they could benefit from, that you would mutually enjoy providing.

Agree with admin.

Additionally see what there already is in the village. Maybe there are enough food businesses, and along the way you see that something significant is missing in the market.

If you have a business plan which you actually conducted field work then it is more probable that you will raise some cash. Instead if you just sat on the computer and typed away with what you think then it will be tougher to raise cash and it will most probably fail.
