B&J Beauty Supply

Description of business
My business I am striving to achieve will be called B&J Beauty Supply. My Business will be located in the small town Of DeKalb, TX where I reside. B&J Beauty Supply will offer the most up to date hair care products and appliances for all ethnicities and hair types. We will also carry a variety of other supplies from jewelry, shoes, hats, weave, and even my all natural homemade sugar scrubs.
Form of Business Ownership
I would like my business to be a Sole proprietorship ownership. Although I will have family working with me in this journey to owning my own business; I am going to be the only owner and be responsible for all the business’s debts, losses, and liabilities.
Ideal Customer
I would say the ideal customer for my shop would be women, due to the vast variety of hair products and appliances I will be selling in my store.

I will bring a larger variety of personal hair care products and more right to their front door verses 35-45 minutes away. With cutting down the travel time, I will be helping build more personal time and family time; even if just adding a free extra 30 minutes to their day.
Ethical Issues
I want to hold the highest standards in my store. I want the products sold to my customers to be good products and not the cheaper ones. I want to be one jump ahead of other beauty stores and sell different; better products that really work; at fair prices. Other ethical issues I see arising would be dealing with the supply companies; hoping that they will have what I’m looking for or need in stock. I want to always have what my customers are looking for and if I don’t have it; I want to know I can get it from my supplier when asked. I want to be ready to have something for everyone.
Social Responsibility
I would definitely give back to my community because without your
