Embroidery shops are very popular businesses in most local and regional markets. There are always going to be small companies as well as organizations that want to have clothes customized with designs, logos, and names imprinted on specific items. These businesses typically have low startup costs, and an apparel company can be started for as little as $50,000 or as much as $100,000 depending on the type of retail facility that will be maintained in order to carry out business operations.
