Is the local market large enough to support another construction staking 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 interested in starting a construction staking business, it's a wise move to learn from folks who are already in business. If you think owners of nearby construction staking businesses will give you advice, think again. The last thing they want to do is help you to be a better competitor.
However, a fellow entrepreneur who has started a construction staking business outside of your community 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. Many business owners are happy to give advice to new entrepreneurs 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 an owner of a construction staking business who is willing to talk to you but doesn't live nearby?
