Been on both sides in earlier times. It’s has always been difficult to start a business and should remain that way. The issues I see are if your business plan requires you to hire employees in the lakes region it’s a bad business plan. Unemployment is this area is zero! Also, business lease costs are on the rise. Payroll and rent have always been the top two costs associated with operating a business. In this climate you need to be the head chef and dishwasher. Also, own the building you are working out of. Then you may have a chance
