    My husband is a jeweler with over 20 years experience. We are
    considering starting our own business. He has all the equipment....
    bench,  tools, casting, polishing, engraving, etc.. I've found a 500
    sq ft space to lease. I'm currently getting quotes for insurance and
    the security system. I am purchasing the display cases used. I have
    made a list of every start up cost I can think of. 

    I have the information for sales tax lic, EIN and vendor lic. 

    What is a good figure to look at for stocking retail to start out
    (silver & gold)? I would like to carry enough inventory but not so
    much that we over extend before we build a customer base. 

    Is there anything commonly forgotten when opening a store that we
    might be missing?
