Hello, looking to expand into framing

Hello from Finland. I am an english guy that moved over here 10yrs ago. I run a sign/graphics company by myself and the wife helps with the paperwork side of things.
I mainly do signs, tshirts, vehicle graphics and printing but now the wife has more free time (kids out the house) i'm looking to venture into framing and hand it over to her, i would just print the artwork if needed.
Reasoning for this idea is because since beginning of last year i have been producing prints on kapa board with mounting brackets for the local photography shop, he then adds his mark-up and passes onto customer.
There is only one framing shop in town so i think there is room for both of us.

I dont expect this to be a big money spinner and will be a slow grower but thats fine with me.

Having done some research and learnt about the process and machines needed i will be asking plenty more questions which i thank you in advance.
