Description: We have been operating as a mobile tea party service--initially in Mount Dora, FL area, then in the Tampa, FL area. I am currently in the Ponte Vedra Beach area and would like to open a permanent site--preferably in St. Augustine or Ponte Vedra Beach, FL, as I have a debilitating back injury that makes it unprofitable to operate as a mobile service. We had reached the point of stabilization when I had to go on sabbatical. We are still legally open as a corp, but I am not doing any business currently. I need additional funding to be able to set up a shop/tea bar concept that has staying power and is a unique offering to the area.
