so my mom has an idea for me to start a business, something like the build a bear workshop but nothing really like it.. how much do you think it cost to start a business like that??.--Answer1:obv depends whether your gonna operate from home etc, ebay, or have a shop things like that, impossible to say, but anywhere from say a thousand upwards to probably ten thousand.. depends what equipment, materials, stock, marketing etc you need,.--Answer2:A business like that will require a store front with lots of foot traffic. The rent alone on a place like that will run $2500 at the low end to $10,000 a month.
