A. There are too many variables for anyone to answer this one. If you are taking over an established business than anything from 50,000 - 5000.000 If you are starting one and you already have premises then it would depend on what you are going to stock, how much there would be etc etc Again - anything from 50-500k

Has anyone seen this great new virtual newsagent shop window?
Q. There's a great new website in London called www.cardsinthewindow.com. Its basically a virtual newsagents shop window where you can place virtual advertisements in the windows. There's a 'for sale' window and also a 'local services' window. Only covers SW London and is quite new, but I think they're planning to franchise out in the future, so could be the next Gumtree. What do you think?

A. I think it is a good idea, but because other big websites already do something close to it, getting a market share will be extremely difficult, but I'm not saying it's not worth trying it. It looks good.

Just pick up old Bic lighters from the street in your travels. Haven't bought a flint in years. Zippo has an incredible lifetime warranty and they even return it free with spare flints - I wish more businesses would learn from them
