Learning More About the Industry
As part of your due diligence on opening a dry cleaners equipment and supplies business, it's a wise move to talk to somebody who is already in the business. Local competitors are not going to give you the time of day, mind you. Why would they want to educate a future competitor?
But, a person who owns a dry cleaners equipment and supplies business in another town may be more than happy to give you a few tips, as long as they don't view you as a competitive threat. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you. In my experience, you may have to call ten business owners in order to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.

Consider Franchising
As an entrepreneur, your chances doing well with your venture are much better if you purchase a franchise and benefit from the prior work of others and their lessons learned.
If your goal is to start a dry cleaners equipment and supplies business, you would be wise to determine whether buying a franchise could make it easy to get started.
