Seeking £10,000 investment.
Forget the idea that only small businesses use dropshipping. All the big-name stores in the US do dropshipping and openly talk about it. It's now a well-recognised way to sell products.
After 25 years in web development (I know!), I am well-qualified to pursue what is laid out in this plan.
Thanks to local lad Luke Littler for the 180 inspiration.
HUGE
SUGGESTION
Whilst this Business Plan works great on laptop, why not keep that for the office, or when you're very committed to it (hmmm).
If you want to watch how I annihilate competitor websites, or learn more about how mature the dropshipping industry is, or take a closer look at the funny notes in the Financials spreadsheet, easily the best way to view it is...
...on your smartphone
And to simply dip in whenever you have a minute, add it to a prominent place amongst your many other icons by clicking Add to Home Screen via your browser options and be sure to save it as 'dance'.
When you're on the bus, or bored with Coronation Street, tap 'dance' on your phone...(ouch)
Then step in, tap, tap, tap away. You'll like.
WARNING:
The content of the plan can be
extremely soporific!
So much so, I'm seriously considering putting it on Ebay under 'Sleep remedies' for $9.
Please read on
Each page of the business plan will carry a short summary at the top, courtesy of Google Gemini, to give a quick idea of what's to come. They'll look like the one below which is, of course, a summary of this page:
Business Plan: The page outlines a business plan for “Just Shops,” including mention of its length, how it is to be treated as a working document and brief intros in the form of videos.
Confidentiality: Mention is made of an NDA being signed.
Suggested Reading Order: The author suggests a specific order for reading the business plan, starting with the “Mission Statement” and ending with the “CV.”
Contact Information: The page provides contact details for Dave Burton Ltd and Just Shops Ltd, including email and a WhatsApp group link for updates.
The page is designed as a working document for the author and includes an invitation to join the DBL WhatsApp group for further engagement.

The above video doesn't have the numbers counter at the top of this page in it - a recent addition. If you would like to see it again, refresh this page.

Just this kinda stuff...

Everything you might want to know.
But before starting...
It's really long, esp The Plan page but that's ok with me...this has become my working doc. Something I'll refer to daily, esp the videos re advertising etc. I'm adding to them...
I went into real depth putting this together, and it was a really good idea to do so.
I mean, yeah it's long but not to worry... I don't mind if no-one reads it, it's for me really, as time goes on.
I learnt so much putting it together. A very worthwhile exercise.
Shouldn't take more than about a week to read...🤪
Suggested reading order is to just go through the menu in order, so...
