So you are Moriquen Sil, a Dunmer, and you dabble in both
Enchanting and
Alchemy. You are also passable at
Speechcraft, and you think you can run a successful business with these skills.
To practice Alchemy or Enchanting from your shop, you will need to acquire the necessary equipment and devote a room to the craft. You can probably put them both in the same room so long as you don't attempt anything too dangerous, but it will hamper your productivity slightly. You'll have to make some inquiries amongst the local merchants to acquire an Alchemy Table or Enchanting Table. There may be common-use tables which you can utilize elsewhere, but you got your training far away, in the college at Winterhold. You know most Nords take a dim view on magic, but many holds retain a court wizard for advice and protection anyway.
So here you stand in a dirty storefront. You have several items in the store room, but none out on display and the front door is currently locked. How would you like to proceed?
Accounting:
As mentioned, you have 300 septims.
You currently enjoy a modest lifestyle. This costs you 40 septims a month, and covers your general expenses such as food and clothing upkeep. It has already been paid for this month.
The taxes on the land, 180 Septims, will be due on the first of Frost Fall. For this game we will be using the Daggerfall calendar, so each month has 30 days and starts on a Sundas. The current date is the 12th of Sun's Height so you have a bit under 3 months.
300 septims isn't a lot, but spent judiciously it should be adequate.

Lod's House is the home of Falkreath's Blacksmith, Lod.
Uncle Sil's Storage and Rare Merchandise is, of course, your shop. At least that’s what you’re thinking of naming it. You haven’t put a sign up yet, so you could still change the name to fit Falkreath’s macabre theme if you wish.
The Graveyard is the most distinguishing feature of the city. It houses generations of dead from all over Skyrim, and being buried in the legendary cemetery is a great honor.
The Falkreath Watchtower sits off to the north, watching the trade roads to the rest of Skyrim.
