Even if you open up a franchised store, you will still not know all the little ins and outs of the trade.
2. Right now, loans might be tough to get. You need to be able to answer my questions before I will roll out money. If you have no experience in the field, I will be skeptical of your success and my repayment chance.

X2... I had a friend that worked at an independent coffee shop for 8 YEARS before she broke away and started her own gig... She's making a killing now... Do you know how much a good espresso machine costs? 10-35 THOUSAND dollars.... Those fancy ones you see at starbucks are 46 THOUSAND dollars EACH. Id get in the business as an employee for a while to see if its the right move for you..
I got in to the furniture business 9 years ago... The hardest part is dealing with the public.. (especially the dumb ones.)
