Default My opinion is to....

Keep It Simple....

Joan, my personal approach is to get out there and do it as simply as possible to start with.... In reality, no business is a "guaranteed" success.

In reality, you may not make a profit. Every person who has tried several businesses have probably had some business ventures which didn't work out (me included).... So, I'd keep it simple until you know for sure it'll work, and until you're definitely making a profit from it (however small it may be)....

Also, your profit is essentially your gross sales minus your expenses.... So, try to keep your expenses as low as possible, especially in the early days! That way you give yourself the best chance of showing a profit early on.... :)

Keep everything legal, but in my opinion, don't make it any more complicated than necessary, especially when you're just starting a new business idea....

Others may disagree, but that's my own personal approach....
