Acquisitions vs. Startups
Unfortunately, many inexperienced recycling equipment manufacturers business entrepreneurs approach ownership with the mistaken idea that a startup is their only option when they could also pursue a business acquisition.

If you're diligent about finding the right acquisition prospect, you may be able to leverage a business buying strategy to rapidly propel yourself into a position of industry leadership.
Explore Franchising Options
Your chances of achieving the entrepreneurial goal of making a success of your new business immediately improve when you join the ranks of franchisees instead of doing it all on your own.
