there's a configuration switch you can set for these kind of scenarios:
i can't remember their names off the top of my head, but generally you'd flip the switches/info thus:
customers-only:
a config value exists that means that the entire shop is off-limits unless you first login as a customer if you set this config switch.
you don't need to process credit-cards, or enable a payment gateway; you can do it all manually and just have something like standard emails that get sent saying "thanks for your order, it's being processed" or "you can send a check for $100 and we'll then send you your order" etc etc.
my initial thoughts are that all this kind of stuff can be done by flipping a few switches and changing a couple of the email templates and/or language settings.
it's quite a common need (it might seem strange to some people, but it makes sense to me; lots of companies want people to be able to view their products on the web but don't want to do web-payments etc; ie just use the site as a kind of online mail-order thing).
If you want this done, price would depend on exactly what's involved (ie look+feel implementation, product/category-creation etc), but feel free to contact me if you want my quote/thoughts on it.
