Is the local market large enough to support another electrical engineers 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

Once you've finished assessing the competion, it's a wise move to learn from folks who are already in 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.

However, a fellow entrepreneur who has started an electrical engineers business on the other side of the country can be a great learning resource for you, provided that you won't be directly competing with them. 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.
