Learning More About the Industry
If you are interested in starting a blinds installation, cleaning, and repair business, it's essential that you have a conversation with someone who is in the business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. Why would they want to educate a future competitor?
However, a fellow entrepreneur who has started a blinds installation, cleaning, and repair business outside of your community will be much more likely to talk with you, as long as they don't view you as a competitive threat. Indeed, many experienced entrepreneurs enjoy offering advice to startup entrepreneurs. Our estimate is that you may have to contact many business owners to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.
Where do you find an owner of a blinds installation, cleaning, and repair business in a different locale who can assist you?

Consider Franchising
Your odds of achieving your top business goals are substantially improved when you choose to franchise and benefit from the prior work of others and their lessons learned.
