With paperwork organized, the business thrives. The bills get paid and specific papers can be pulled for the task. Things like tracking money become manageable.
You can start a bike shop too. All you need is lots of people around you with bikes, access to cheap parts and paperwork. Many distributors will not give you access to their goods without a storefront in a commercial district. But that’s okay because: things like 50 feet of cable housing can be found online for cheap. Amazon.com has a program where you pay one nominal fee for a whole year of shipping. The Internet makes it harder and easier for bike shops to survive. Business in the modern age demands that adaptation to survive.
Running a bike shop is not just about how cool it is and playing with bikes all day.
Thankfully, I have business background at places like H&R Block as a tax preparer, US Bank, Cal Poly, multiple small kitchens and two previous attempts at self employment in the arenas of painting and gardening.
