What a Short-Term Bank Loan Could do for your Florist Business

Let’s face it, most people don’t go into floristry to become rich. It’s more likely to be due to your love of flowers, plants and creative ability rather than an insatiable thirst for cash.

Being a florist means early starts, long hours and usually cold and damp conditions, but they are all challenges which those with a love for all that blooms are willing to contend with.

Flower Shop

Although there has been a surge in appreciation for flowers over the past few years, the world of flowers is still a pretty tough one. The majority of the notable costs which are incurred in a floristry business are every day expenses that cannot be skipped.

Every Day Costs include:

  • Premises – rent or buying outright
  • Necessary machinery including cash registers and vans to deliver product
  • Keeping your stock full
  • Staff (including delivery drivers)
  • Documentation and legal costs

There is no doubt that running a florist business requires a lot of working capital.
