Hi Raul,
Kudos to you for looking into this! Just for a little background, what details can you share that are leaning you toward a non-profit vs a for-profit venture?

Here are some questions you might want to answer before going too far.

- Do you have anyone willing to be on your non-profit board?
- Have you looked into your competition? Even if there are other non-profits out there doing a similar thing, it could be competition for your business.
- How will you get money for your non-profit?
- Do you have grant writing experience?
- What techniques or abilities do you have to help vets in that arena?

These are just questions to get the ball rolling. It's encouraging to see start-ups like yours. Feel free to reach out to me thru my site below.
