While I cannot discuss sales on the forum, I do intend to become a vendor here. Something new/different to offer is the point of the business, I wish I can get into more detail about it, but I can't. At least not in public forum.voodoo said:so... Glock forum deals? lol
Just want to budget my next couple of years.
What part of "out of my home" did you not read? Loljtk07 said:it would be wise to also have a range - hard to teach shooters much of anything more then the basics without a range.
Sent you a pm but here ya goSo anything on managing an FFL? Book keeping, reporting, etc etc...
Go to FFL123.com. I think it's $20 or $30, but it gives you all the information you need to get your FFL, including deciding what type, and tells you everything you need to know to pass the interview, discusses zoning, storage, relocation...everything you could possibly need to know or need to consider. As far as gunsmithing, I'm a fan of AGI, the American Gunsmithing Institute. They and a couple of other "schools" offer training and certification at home. It's not cheap, but I think it's worth it. I would then look into the various gun maker's armorer's courses. From what I've found so far, Glock is the only one that limits their armorer's course to law enforcement and GSSF members. I know Sig, for instance, you just have to sign up and travel to.
You might also want to go to the SCORE website and find someone who can help you with the all the details of getting the business going. They can also help with writing the business plan, getting financing, etc., and it's free! They also have a business related courses/seminars that are free. They're a great resource.
FFL type 2 is a pawnbroker man . You need a type 1 01 Dealer in Firearms Other Than Destructive Devices (Includes Gunsmiths)Got a friend with a MBA helping me out, plus another friend in the same line of business as well.
Got a business plan typed up already, just need the tax licenses and I'm set. Going sole proprietorship route for now, depending on how successful it is I'll transfer to an llc.
Looking at a #2 FFL dealer, gunsmith... Already have the app. I may just give the ATF a call and ask them the questions...
