Learning More About the Industry
If you are interested in starting a coils and windings 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. It'd be crazy for them to teach you the business.
Thankfully, an owner of a a coils and windings business in a location that is not competitive to you 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. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you.

As an aspiring business owner, the decisions you make now will have huge implications later, including the decision to either start a business from scratch or buy an existing coils and windings business.
In general, purchased coils and windings businesses fare better than startups, at least during the initial few years. Existing companies have an established customer base, brand recognition and functional business models. More importantly, buying an existing coils and windings business makes it easier for you to begin collecting a salary sooner rather than later.
Entrepreneurs who are committed to a highly unique value proposition may need to pursue a startup approach. However, in today's business-for-sale marketplace, there is an abundance of coils and windings businesses worth considering.
Don't Rule Out Franchising

Before opening a coils and windings business, you would be wise to investigate whether there are good franchise opportunities available that might be the right move for you.
