Is the local market large enough to support another laminating products and services business? If not, you had better be sure that you are doing things much better than the competition.

Talk to People Who Are Already in the Business

After you've evaluated your local competitors, it's essential that you learn from folks who are already in business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. It'd be crazy for them to teach you the business.

On the other hand, an individual who has a laminating products and services business in a location that is not competitive to you will be much more likely to talk with you, provided that you won't be directly competing with them. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you. It can take a while to find an entrepreneur who is willing to talk, but it's well worth the effort.

Where does one find somebody who runs a laminating products and services business who is willing to talk to you but doesn't live nearby?
