How tough is the competition in the market you are considering? If the competition is too tough, you may need to think about starting the business in a different area or even start a completely different business instead.

Studying the Market

Once you've finished assessing the competion, be sure to learn from folks who are already in business. If you think owners of nearby commercial or industrial bag businesses will give you advice, think again. The last thing they want to do is help you to be a better competitor.

However, a fellow entrepreneur who has started a commercial or industrial bag business in a location that is not competitive to you 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. In fact, they are often very willing to share startup advice with you. If you are persistent, you can find a business mentor who is willing to help you out.
