Find Good Remote Business Advice
As part of your due diligence on opening a new business consulting business, it's a smart move to learn from folks who are already in business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. What's in it for them?
On the other hand, an individual who has a new business consulting business outside of your community 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. 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.
Do you know how to find somebody who runs a new business consulting business who is willing to talk to you but doesn't live nearby?
It's easy. Here's a link you can use to find a mentor outside of your area.
Consider Franchising
Choosing to partner with a franchisor ensures that you benefit from feedback and ideas that were developed by experienced entrepreneurs who know your industry inside and out.
Before you get too far along in your plan to open a new business consulting business, you should investigate whether franchise opportunities in your space might be the right move for you.
