Music store resource?

[thehurlatron]

I'm looking into opening a music store in my area. Does anyone know of a good online resource for opening/starting a music shop?

Thanks.

Also, any distributors company names/links??

I can't find any info online with a yahoo or google search.

For starters, you might want to subcribe to The Music Trades and make sure to get a hold of their Purchasers Guide.

Also, look up your local SCORE office. They offer teriffic services and advice (for free) to small businesses.
