Getting Advice from Experienced Entrepreneurs
If you are seriously contemplating launching a silver products business, it's a wise move to learn as much as you can from somebody who is already in the business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. The last thing they want to do is help you to be a better competitor.
However, a fellow entrepreneur who has started a silver products business in a different city may be willing to share their entrepreneurial wisdom with you, provided that you won't be directly competing with them. In fact, they are often very willing to share startup advice 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.

Simply, try our helpful link below, type in a random city/state or zipcode, and start calling.
Consider Franchising
If you want to increase your chances of business success, it's a good idea to look into purchasing a franchise.
Before starting a silver products business, it's worthwhile to determine whether there are good franchise opportunities available that might be the right move for you.
