A Good Source of Advice

If you are interested in starting a plumbers business, be sure to speak with somebody who is already in the business. If you think your local competitors will give you advice, you're being overoptimistic. It'd be crazy for them to teach you the business.

But, a person who owns a plumbers business outside of your community may be more than happy to give you a few tips, after they realize you reside far away from them and won't be stealing their local customers. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you. If you are persistent, you can find a business mentor who is willing to help you out.

The key question new becomes: how to find an owner of a plumbers business outside of your area who is willing to talk?
