Plato's Closet is a really established name within the consignment industry. The problem is finding a business partner you can trust. If the problem is cash flow on your part you should try to see if you qualify for any small business owner grants that your state might be offering. A good resource is the Small Business Administration.

clothing consignment shops means selling clean, used clothes.

Most fail. Do your research

if it were your own business then you wouldn't have a partner.

I know this is a long shot, but I am interested in opening a clothing consignment shop. I am in Connecticut. There are two parts to the question.

I would be interested in buying a Plato's Closet franchise. Although, I would need a financial business partner. How would I go about finding a partner?

If I were to open my own business, how would I find a financial partner for that?
