I answered a similar question just yesterday. If you want to open a store then that's a different issue, but try an online business first. Selling t-shirts can be tough and very competitive. Do you have any unique ideas or artwork?
Here's the best suggestion I can give you and it's a low cost way to get your feet wet. Go to cafepress.com and look into setting up an online store. They have a free and low cost version of a store. The quality of the shirt design is acceptable but does not match the higher quality and durability of traditional screen printed shirts, but start out small to see if there is a market and then you can upgrade your business to other types of t-shirt printing and suppliers.
You have to have some experience with graphic design creation (or know someone who knows how) to make your designs to upload to their site. There are file size, file type and physical size requirements for all the different types of things you can offer (yes, you can have more than just t's with your designs) .
No need to worry about huge upfront investments to start. Try this low cost way to see if you really have something people want to purchase and get the business experience without having to worry about vendors, order taking, inventory, shipping, returns, etc... You will, however, have to market and promote the heck out of your online store as there is a TON of competition in t's.I want to open up a embroid./shirt printing business. Any advice or suggestions? (How much, type of equipment
