I’m so glad to see you, Emma. I heard you’re planning to start a pharmacy. Is that true?
|
Indeed, Ron. I’ve noticed that there’s no pharmacy around my area. We have to go down town for the nearest one. I figured that a pharmacy would be a profitable small business in the suburb—there are many school children and elderly. |
Cool! I wish I could start a business on my own someday. Anyway, if you need any help in accounting, I’d be glad to offer my services.
|
Thanks, Ron. I will be securing business permits, licenses, contracts, and other documents soon. I will definitely need your help. If you want, we can start this business together. |
Sure, thanks for the offer. When do you want the business to be fully operational?
|
Hopefully, within the first quarter of next year. There are many things to do and I would never bring a knife to a gunfight. Things like this needs time and preparation. |
I agree. Let’s think about the business plan soon.
|
How about we meet tomorrow after work at my place? I have drafted a business plan already. You may want to check it. |
