Before you begin business, it’s a good idea to take inventory of what you have on hand, and what you will need to purchase. Starting a new business can be an expensive proposition. Sometimes there are materials you absolutely have to have, and then there are the “nice to have” items. When you are thinking about investing your money (or a banks), evaluate how much you’ll use all these items, how many you already have, and what items you can beg, borrow and steal (not literally).
