Depending on the country or state in which they start, they are faced with government rules and regulations that are set for their existence. For instance, looking at a company called Young & Reckless started by a young entrepreneur named Chris Pfaff, which specializes mostly in design of street wears, and started in the state of Los Angeles and now grown to be a national designing company. Young and reckless company distributes to vast majority of sellers and has a series of stores including Macy’s Dillard’s and PacSun stores where numerous sales of its products are sold.
