Answer 1

I don't have specific answers for you only two things.

1) Always expect it to take 2 years to turn a profit no matter what business you choose. You should expect loss the first year and maybe break even the 2nd.

2) I'm sure this organization is the best place to get answers to your questions, you can contact their members for even more details.  If I remember correctly they even have a booklet for first time business owners http://www.narts.org/  National Association of Resale & Thrift Shops
