How tough is the competition in the market you are considering? If the competition is too tough, you may need to think about starting the business in a different area or even start a completely different business instead.
Studying the Market
After you've evaluated your local competitors, be sure to have a conversation with someone who is 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 medical services organizations business in a location that is not competitive to you can be a great learning resource for you, provided that you won't be directly competing with them. Indeed, many experienced entrepreneurs enjoy offering advice to startup entrepreneurs. 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.
Where can you find an entrepreneur who is running a medical services organizations business in a different locale who can assist you?

Benefits & Drawbacks of a Medical Services Organizations Business Acquisition
An acquisition can be a great way to enter medical services organizations business ownership. But it's important to evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of buying a business before you decide on either an acquisition or startup approach.
BENEFITS: Acquired medical services organizations businesses should be profitable right out of the gate; they should also be capable of demonstrating a loyal customer base, brand identity and operational efficiencies.
CONs: On the downside, medical services organizations business acquisitions can be difficult to adapt to your unique business philosophy so it's important to make sure the business is capable of achieving your ownership goals before you initiate the buying process.
Consider Buying a Franchise
As an entrepreneur, your chances being a successful business owner are greatly increased when you join the ranks of franchisees in lieu of doing everything yourself.
Before you get too far along in your plan to open a medical services organizations business, a smart move is to determine whether there are good franchise opportunities available that might increase your chances of success.
