Imagine that you are opening your own clothing store or some other business. What kinds of office equipment and supplies do you think you will need to run your business? How much will this equipment cost? Will you rent the equipment or buy it? Do you create a Website for your business? Discuss your ideas.

I think I'll do need an office, one laptop, a telephone, some pencils , one or two books and another office's material. To begins don't need a lot of money, just the minimun. And is really important have a web site or enny social network to find the customers.
