Find Good Remote Business Advice
As part of your due diligence on opening a basement repair and restoration business, it's essential that you have a conversation with someone who is in the business. Local competitors are not going to give you the time of day, mind you. The last thing they want to do is help you to be a better competitor.
On the other hand, an individual who has a basement repair and restoration business on the other side of the country will be much more likely to talk with you, provided that you won't be directly competing with them. In fact, they are often very willing to share startup advice with you. Our estimate is that you may have to contact many business owners to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.

It's easy. Here's a link you can use to find a mentor outside of your area.
Don't Rule Out Franchising
You should know that your odds of avoiding failure in business are substantially improved if you decide to franchise in lieu of doing everything yourself.
Prior to starting a basement repair and restoration business, it's worthwhile to assess whether there are good franchise opportunities available that might make your life much easier.
The link below gives you access to our franchise directory so you can see if there's a franchise opportunity for you. You might even find something that points you in a completely different direction.
