If there's too much competition, it may be wise to consider starting the business in a less competitive marketplace.

Finding a Non-Competitive Business Mentor

If you want to open a scrap metal buyers business you really ought to learn as much as you can from somebody who is already in the business. If you think owners of nearby scrap metal buyers 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 scrap metal buyers business in a different city may be more than happy to give you a few tips, 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. 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.
