If your friend is cash poor, then maybe owning a shop is not the way to go. Not only will he(she) have to purchase stock, but he will also need cash for the lease, renovation, insurance, utilities, advertising, etc.

Maybe he try swapmeets, an on-line biz or working out a deal with a store which is already established?
