All my life (I'm 25), I've dreamed of opening my own animal shelter. This is not a profitable idea, but it will take a lot of business know-how, which is why I'm here.
Starting a shelter would involve purchasing land, building or renovating a building that would be state of the art, registering as a non-profit (and whatever else is involved with starting up a non-profit business), hiring employees, volunteers, and Veterinarians, getting them employee benefits, protecting ourselves legally, and so much more.
Problem is, I have zero business experience. Did you guys know everything you needed to know/researched independently, or did you have advisers? If advisers, where/who did you go to?
Where do I start!?
