Description: My husband and I hand craft natural and Medieval themed products. We will primarily sell on the internet once I have a web page up. For now we plan to travel to theme fairs (including Medieval, craft and country) around the country. We need $5,000 minimum - $10,000 maximum for start-up costs. We have very low overhead costs and high mark-ups. For exampe: we can purchase 35 pounds of chain mail for roughly $500 and sell a compleated shirt for $2,000. There are no employees; just me and my husband. My goal is to one day be able to give people jobs.
