You will sign a Confidentiality Agreement to protect the privacy of each business owner and allow me to share confidential information with you.
When you visit the shop (to take a peak), you may pretend to be a customer; you will NOT ask staff or owner any questions. All correspondence is handled by FloraLynx. You agree to contact FloraLynx until a formal meeting with the owner(s) can be arranged at an appropriate time and place.
If you have no "formal" training in floral design, consider seriously registering with the Academy of Floral Design, New Westminster, BC, for their 3-week basic program in professional floristry. This will give you the tools you need to take the first steps towards fulfilling your dream. Visit www.learn-flower-design.com by clicking here for details.
FloraLynx participates as a Coaching Service to assist both seller and buyer to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement. FloraLynx is paid a Coaching Facilitation fee by the seller. There is no charge to the Buyer(s). However, their Coaching Services may be a wise consideration once you have purchased your new flower shop.
