Thinking about opening a resistors business? We tell you what you need to know to get started.

Characteristics of a Good Resistors Company Business Plan

Every business plan is unique. However, the most effective business plans do address specific sound business plan elements:

  • Mission Statement � Your description of your resistors business's reason for existing.
  • Goals & Objectives � Goals are broad targets; objectives are the tactics you'll use to reach your goals.
  • Financial, Marketing & Action Plans � More detailed descriptions of how you will carry out your mission and achieve your resistors business's goals.

Don't Ignore Competitors

Prior to opening a resistors business in your area, it's a good idea to see how many competitors you have. We've provided the link below to help you get a list of local competitors near you. After following the link, enter your city, state and zip code to get a list of resistors businesses in your area.

Before you open up shop, make sure you know what you will offer to your customers that provides a significant advantage over your competition's offering.

Learning More About the Industry

As part of your due diligence on opening a resistors business, it's a smart move to talk to somebody who is already in the business. If you think owners of nearby resistors businesses will give you advice, think again. The last thing they want to do is help you to be a better competitor.

However, an entrepreneur who owns a resistors business in another town will be much more likely to talk with you, once they realize that you are not going to directly compete with them in their community. 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.

How do you find an owner of a resistors business that lives outside of your area?

Three Arguments for Buying a Resistors Business

For years, street-smart entrepreneurs have known that whenever possible, it's more advantageous to buy an existing resistors business than it is to start one from scratch.

You'll want to conduct a comprehensive due diligence process, but here are three arguments why you should think about buying instead of a startup.

  • Initial Revenue. If you're careful in your research, the resistors business you buy will have a track record of profitability � a big plus since it may take months or even years for a startup to turn a profit.
  • Operational Efficiency. Existing businesses are established operations, with the necessary processes, people and other resources already in place.
  • Funding. Lenders, investors and other funding sources almost always prefer business purchases to startups.

Explore Franchising Options

The odds of achieving your primary goal of growing your business are higher if you go the franchising route rather than going it alone.

If you are thinking about opening a resistors business, it's worthwhile to determine whether franchising might help you avoid common entrepreneurial mistakes.
