Learning More About the Industry

Once you've finished assessing the competion, 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. What's in it for them?

However, a fellow entrepreneur who has started a signs wholesale and manufacturers business in a different city 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 that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you. If you are persistent, you can find a business mentor who is willing to help you out.
