    Well, you are going to need a business plan. Fortunately, Bplans.com has a free business plan for starting a health food store. Check it out at:

    This should give you a good idea of the things you need to consider and the start up costs.

    Go to , or for sample business plans and instructions on how to write a business plan.

    Then, go to and in the upper left hand corner, enter your zip code. On the next screen, you will get information on the nearest SCORE chapter. Call them and arrange for a free meeting with a SCORE counselor to review your business plan and discuss various loan options available to you.

    SCORE is a nonprofit association dedicated to entrepreneur education and the formation, growth and success of small business nationwide. SCORE is a resource partner with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).

    SCORE has 389 chapters in locations throughout the United States and its territories, with 10,500 volunteers nationwide. Both working and retired executives and business owners donate time and expertise as business counselors.
