Is the local market large enough to support another ornamental shrub and tree transplanting services business? If not, you had better be sure that you are doing things much better than the competition.

Talk to People Who Are Already in the Business

If you are seriously contemplating launching an ornamental shrub and tree transplanting services business, be sure to learn from folks who are already in business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. It'd be crazy for them to teach you the business.

However, an entrepreneur who owns an ornamental shrub and tree transplanting services business in another town can be a great learning resource for you, as long as they don't view you as a competitive threat. In fact, they are often very willing to share startup advice 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.
