Alright. So, first of all, I was contacted by an accountant (in response to my CL post) whose office offers business start-up and incorporation assistance as well as basic accounting services. They’re equally, if not more, difficult to get to… but they have the added bonus of being close to my aunts and being women, which just feels more comfortable to me. So, we’ll see what can be done with this.
I also found out today that the kitchen I planned to use is no longer available to me. The combination of increased business during the holiday season and the prospect of additional inspection effectively ruined the deal. I’m actually fine with it because… Well, I’m not entirely sure why, but part of it may be that on some level I felt like I had to stick with them – because they were offering it basically for free – despite the fact that there was really, if I were honest with myself, insufficient space. So, now I’m on the search for a kitchen that meets my needs financially, geographically and… cubically? Wish me luck!
