Showkee: Help out: starting up a new fashion and tailoring outfit as a medium scale business. What are the requirement

Hummmmmmm! Good question,
But i can help out.

I get this question alot from my students when they are about ending their programme in my fashion school www.valisimofashions.com
I specially save this topic for the last class, so as to prepare them for setting up a fashion business.

1) Learn the trade
2) Raise capital from family ,friends or loans if you can get
3) Sellect you name for brand identification/
4) Choose your location wisely as this will affect the kind of people that will come to you.
5) Get equpiments,depending on how much you have, you need sewing machines,cutting tables, tape rules, scissors,iron,mannequins to metion a few
6) Brand your fashion business eg call cards ,website address printed on paper bags etc
7) Tell people about your business ,eg use social sites facebook twitter nairaland.make flyers or make adds on fashion magzines
Let your work speck for you.
