Turning Competitors Into Collaborators
As part of your due diligence on opening a factoring service, you really ought to learn as much as you can from somebody who is already in the business. If you think owners of nearby factoring services will give you advice, think again. Why would they want to educate a future competitor?
However, a fellow entrepreneur who has started a factoring service in a location that is not competitive to you will be much more likely to talk with you, after they realize you reside far away from them and won't be stealing their local customers. In fact, they are often very willing to share startup advice with you. Our estimate is that you may have to contact many business owners to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.
