As part of your due diligence on opening a textile machinery and parts business, be sure to speak with somebody who is already in the business. Local competitors are not going to give you the time of day, mind you. It'd be crazy for them to teach you the business.

Fortunately, somebody who runs a textile machinery and parts business in another town will be much more likely to talk with you, after they realize you reside far away from them and won't be stealing their local customers.
