Bicycle sales and repair business start up

Aim

I would like to open a little bicycle shop to buy and sell second hand bikes, accessories and do repairs and servicing on bikes

My name is brett and this is my story for this year at the beginning of 2020 I was at rock bottom I had lost everything I was sleeping on the streets I couldn't see any light at the end of the tunnel but I managed to seek some help through a homeless charity who got me into night shelters and from there I got some self worth back and started to build myself back up I managed to get a job in a hospital at the beginning of the covid 19 lockdown and managed to get a studio flat through the council, finally I was feeling whole again then me and my stepdad started refurbishing old rusty bicycles and getting them back road worthy and selling them on the facebook and we started doing really well with the bikes we also started doing repairs and servicing on bikes for people too and I realised this is what I am good at and enjoy doing as well which gave me the idea that I would love to start up my own business with a little shop to buy and sell second hand bikes at prices for the less fortunate who may not be able to afford new bikes and offer repairs and servicing at much more affordable prices than these big bike shops, I would also like to be able to work with the homeless charity that helped me in helping teach some of their service users that are doing well how to work on bikes to be able to show them that they can put the skills to good use for the positive. I am looking for help to fund my start up and any little bit of help would really mean the world to me so please I am asking from the bottom of my heart can you help at all please
