Is the local market large enough to support another wax 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

If you are interested in starting a wax business, it's a smart move to speak with somebody who is already in the business. If you think your local competitors will give you advice, you're being overoptimistic. Why would they want to educate a future competitor?

On the other hand, an individual who has a wax business in a different city 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. It can take a while to find an entrepreneur who is willing to talk, but it's well worth the effort.
