All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box. These 4 sites should get you on your way in terms of what needs to be done (e.g. licenses, permits, taxes, etc.) Associations may be a good avenue to explore as well. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links. Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant: * Too Good to be Threw: The Complete Operations Manual for Resale & Consignment Shops by Kate Holmes * A Common Sense Entrepreneurial Guide: How to Open & Run a Successful Consignment Shop [DOWNLOAD: PDF] by Nancy L. Nolan * How to Start and Run an eBay Consignment Business by Skip McGrath * Specialty Shop Retailing: How to Run Your Own Store Revised by Carol L. Schroeder There are plenty of free informational resources out there. Check the source box for links to articles. Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!<br><b>References : </b><br>http://www.sba.gov http://www.entrepreneur.com http://www.startupjournal.com http://www.nolo.com/resource.cfm/catID/9FA25870-14F1-4657-9778F19FB41FB93D/111/228/ -- Nolo’s Starting a Business – Resource Center Association: http://www.narts.org/ -- National Association of Resale & Thrift Shops Articles: http://ezinearticles.com/?How-You-Can-Set-Up-An-eBay-Consignment-Business&id=118596 – How You Can Set Up an eBay Consignment Business by Jason Cooper http://ezinearticles.com/?How-to-Set-Up-An-eBay-Drop-Ship-or-Consigment-Business-Without-Franchise-Fees&id=104147 – How to Set Up an eBay Drop Ship or Consignment Business without Franchise Fees by Tim Gilberg http://ezinearticles.com/?A-People-Observers-Look-at-the-Consignment-Thrift-Shop-Audience&id=186532 – A People Observers Look at the Consignment Thrift Shop Audience by Kari Eriksson I recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo.
