Getting Advice from Experienced Entrepreneurs

As part of your due diligence on opening a screws business, it's a wise move to learn from folks who are already in business. If you think your local competitors will give you advice, you're being overoptimistic. What's in it for them?

However, a fellow entrepreneur who has started a screws business on the other side of the country can be a great learning resource for you, after they realize you reside far away from them and won't be stealing their local customers. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you. 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.

Acquired Screws Businesses: Competitive Advantages

Pursuing a screws business acquisition can be an effective route to profitability for emerging entrepreneurs.

Since your screws business's ability to compete is largely indexed to your brand reputation, an acquisition strategy significantly condenses the amount of time it will take for your business to become a competitive threat.

Don't Rule Out Franchising
