Who doesn’t dream of owning an ice cream parlor? Well that dream may be a little closer than you think, and all you need to get there is some helpful advice.  Let’s start with some of the basic things you will need.   The first thing you need to do when starting an ice cream shop is to write a business plan that includes a fairly details budget.  But don’t get frustrated yet – the fun things like buying ice cream tasting spoons and watching people enjoy your wares are only days away.

 Your business plan budget should account for things like set up and installation charges, as well as any initial costs of the business before you turn a profit.  If you are unsure of what exactly you need to put into a budget, don’t be afraid to ask other people already involved in the industry for their advice.  The advice of someone who has been doing what you want to begin to do can be invaluable.  

 Next you will need to think about things like location, and types of ice cream you would like to sell.  Are you interested in selling ice cream for a larger franchise or do you prefer to sell home-made recipes?  Once you make a decision, you must then acquire all necessary permits that your state requires and launch a marketing plan.  This is the fun part – you get to watch people come in to sample your products, using ice cream cups and ice cream spoons with your logo on them.  Congratulations on your successful business!
