Nancy,

Just a heads-up to warn you: I did some work for a florist chain in Mississauga that was formerly using the Flowers-R-Us name. They were sued successfully by Toys-R-Us for trademark violations.

You may want to consider a name change before fully launching your business.

Nancy, Thanks for your interest in our community. Have you worked in a nshop other than taking your courses? What have you done preior to deciding to open a florist? Also, since you are working from home, I need to ask, is your business licensed and do you pay/charge sales tax (if those are applicable questions in Canada)?

Thanks in advance for your answers!!

Ryan gives some great advice!

Thanks!!!! Still playing with the names of the company. A few friends and I are still trying to figure out what direction we want to "form" the small company into.
Most of the time we work from home making small arrangements for non-profit organizations to raise money.
Thanks again!!!1

Nancy, thank you for answering the questions posed. And Ryan's advice is best taken.

As this site is for professionals in the industry I'm going to suggest you find another forum to suit your needs until you are up and running as a viable business.

Thanks and best wishes to you and your venture.

Amy, those are indeed applicable in Canada.
