Getting Advice from Experienced Entrepreneurs

Once you've finished assessing the competion, the next step is to learn from folks who are already in business. If you think your local competitors will give you advice, you're being overoptimistic. The last thing they want to do is help you to be a better competitor.

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.

Why You Should Buy (Instead of Start) a Dermatology Podiatry Physicians & Surgeons Business

We know . . . From the time you were a kid you dreamed about starting a business from scratch and growing it to a position of market dominance.

But from a business and financial perspective, it may make more sense to leverage an existing dermatology podiatry physicians and surgeons business as your vehicle for world domination.

When you buy an existing company, you get a functional (and presumably profitable) company from day one. As an added bonus, you'll also gain the ability to headaches and hassles of startup trial-and-error.

Don't Forget About Franchising As an Option

If you want to tap into an existing brand name and a proven system, you may want to consider the pros and cons of franchising.
