What product lines would you carry? What would make you different than the 'guys' down the street? Would you open up in a retail zone (strip mall) or more like a tech center (single story building with cheaper rent and less traffic)? What services would you offer? What policies have you seen from dealers that you have enjoyed doing business with?
As you might have guessed I am contemplating a career change from a Sr level IT position to owner of a home theater dealer/designer. I currently have a good job that pays well with multi-national conglomerate. I am at a point in my life were I want to 'build something' and quite frankly I don't trust corporate America anymore.
I hope you don't mind the questions... they will be seriously listened to and hopefully sometime in the near future you can walk into the store and see and feel something special.
