Introduction

If you came through our introduction page, you’ll already know that opening your own nursery can be both profitable and deeply rewarding. Despite the early demands, it can bring the freedom that so many of us crave.

Now that you understand it’s worthwhile, the next step is to research whether opening a nursery will truly be rewarding and profitable for you.

This is one of the most important steps in the entire process. Getting this wrong can lead to setbacks or even failure, but getting it right can lay the foundation for a long-term, successful nursery business.

I personally spent over a year researching before deciding to move from my career in law. I attribute much of my success (despite many early challenges) to that initial research. Still, if I’d had access to all the information in this course, it would have saved me a great deal of time and trial-and-error.
