On my other discussion before, a friend of mine open an ice cream shop, but too bad, the earning and the patrons come in visit wasn't that great, and he just make a big loss from these couple of months. Now, he announced that it is officially closed the business to prevent a further loss. He would rather look for a job somewhere else rather than waste money from month to month. At the end, he won't be able to support that business operation out of his own pocket anymore. Well, the good news is that I got some free stuff, like a nice chair, and a brand new blender. That is what business all about. You can't make money, you simply out of business.

hi, ice cream business is a seasonal type of business, because people love to eat this when summer or hot weather, so if in your place still cold, it means the customer who buy of that could reduce.

Well, it does sound like he at least gave it a Go and tried. That is really what counts, and maybe for him it was just the wrong time and location. I know for me I tried having my own Business or store somewhere, and due to the Economy, etc. the store was not able to really get off the ground. Since moving out I have actually started making even a little bit more than when I was in there, to the point I am now getting it all set up from my house, and will be doing most of my Business from there. So maybe for him or her, this was not a Good time but if their heart is still wanting to be there, then maybe they just need to continue to save up and keep looking until the right time presents itself again.

That's bad news (for him/her). Isn't there any way to save it? Your friend should have planned it carefully before setting up the business. Find the right place, price, customers, products, etc..
