Is the local market large enough to support another exploration drilling contractors 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 smart move to speak with somebody who is already in the business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. The last thing they want to do is help you to be a better competitor.

On the other hand, an individual who has an exploration drilling contractors business outside of your community will be much more likely to talk with you, once they realize that you are not going to directly compete with them in their community. 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.
