Turning Competitors Into Collaborators
If you are seriously contemplating launching a boat restoration business, it's a wise move to learn from folks who are already in business. Local competitors are not going to give you the time of day, mind you. What's in it for them?
But, a person who owns a boat restoration business on the other side of the country can be a great learning resource for you, after they realize you reside far away from them and won't be stealing their local customers. 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.

Consider Franchising
The odds of achieving your primary goal of making a success of your new business are greatly increased when you opt to franchise and benefit from the prior work of others and their lessons learned.
Before you get too far along in your plan to open a boat restoration business, a smart move is to assess whether franchising might be worth investigating.
