Check Out the Competition
Well in advance of opening an art goods moving and storage business within your community, it's a smart move to determine how strong the competition is. We've provided the link below to help you get a list of local competitors near you. After following the link, enter your city, state and zip code to get a list of art goods moving and storage businesses in your area.
If there's too much competition, it may be wise to consider starting the business in a less competitive marketplace.
Finding a Non-Competitive Business Mentor
Once you've finished assessing the competion, be sure to speak with somebody who is already in the business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. What's in it for them?
But, a person who owns an art goods moving and storage business in another town can be a great learning resource for you, as long as they don't view you as a competitive threat. Indeed, many experienced entrepreneurs enjoy offering advice to startup 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.

Consider Buying a Franchise
The odds of achieving your primary goal of doing well with your venture increase when you opt to franchise and leverage their successful brand and track record.
Before you get too far along in your plan to open an art goods moving and storage business, you should assess whether franchise opportunities in your space might simplify your entering the business.
