Don't Ignore the Competition

Before you open up shop, make sure you know what you will offer to your customers that provides a significant advantage over your competition's offering.
Learning More About the Industry
If you are seriously contemplating launching a tennis courts business, it's a smart move to have a conversation with someone who is in the business. If you think owners of nearby tennis courts businesses will give you advice, think again. The last thing they want to do is help you to be a better competitor.
On the other hand, an individual who has a tennis courts business in a location that is not competitive to you may be willing to share their entrepreneurial wisdom with you, given that you don't compete with them in their area. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you. 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.
Where would you find a tennis courts business manager who is willing to advise you because you live in different cities?
We can help. Follow the link below, try a few city/state combos or zipcodes, and then start calling!
Don't Forget About Franchising As an Option
Recognize that your chances of doing well in business are higher if you become a franchisee in lieu of doing everything yourself.
Before opening a tennis courts business, you should investigate whether there are good franchise opportunities available that might simplify your entering the business.
