Question

Auva and Chad knew that they wanted more out of life. Auva works as an inspector for the city health department, which involves inspecting restaurants and food service establishments to see whether they are operating according to local laws. Chad worked as an insurance agent for the first 10 years of their marriage and stays at home even though their kids are old enough to take car of themselves. Their home is paid for and their oldest daughter has received a scholarship to attend their local state university. Their son, Chester, is a senior in high school. Neither Auva nor Chad has much experience in owning or operating a small business, yet this is what they want to do when their son graduates from high school. They have been frugal and have saved over $200,000 for this venture. Auva will not be quitting her job for a while. This will leave Chad with the responsibility of running the business.  What type of business to start and why?
