Guide to finding your niche in interior design and starting your own business
Description
Do you ever wonder whether you should start your own interior design company?
It's easy to see why it's such an attractive career—you could trade in your everyday routine and/or unsatisfying office job for days spent looking at beautiful furniture and fabrics, meeting with fascinating clients ready to engage in great design, or interacting at prestigious interior design shows.
Of course, the challenge of establishing your own interior design company requires a variety of additional layers, such as deciding what to charge, selling your expertise, creating a marketing plan, finding reputable subcontractors, dealing with indecisive customers, traveling to showrooms, and keeping on top of your accounts payable.
The reality is that starting your own interior design company necessitates a great deal of hard work and hustle (not to mention plenty of talent). Do you really believe it's your professional calling? If you made your decision or you're still planning to start a business, this guide will make your decision easier, clearer and will sum up all requirements and needs to finalize your choice.
