Finding a Non-Competitive Business Mentor

If you are seriously contemplating launching a jewelers' equipment and supplies business, it's essential that you speak with somebody who is already in the business. If you think your local competitors will give you advice, you're being overoptimistic. Why would they want to educate a future competitor?

Fortunately, somebody who runs a jewelers' equipment and supplies business outside of your community will be much more likely to talk with you, given that you don't compete with them in their area. 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.

How does one quickly and easily locate an entrepreneur who is running a jewelers' equipment and supplies business that lives outside of your area?

No problem! Just use the link below and try a random city/state or zipcode. Then start dialing for advice until you are successful.

Advantages of Buying an Established Jewelers' Equipment & Supplies Business

Spurred on by dreams of a future big money buyout and an undeniable entrepreneurial impulse, many would-be jewelers' equipment and supplies business owners are driven to pursue startup strategies.

Yet a healthier and safer strategy may be to purchase an existing jewelers' equipment and supplies business.

Existing jewelers' equipment and supplies businesses are proven operations with dependable revenue streams. And that's not to mention the fact that a purchase let's you avoid the trial-and-error mistakes that are common in startups.

Is Franchising the Right Option?

As an entrepreneur, your chances doing well with your venture immediately improve if you decide to franchise and benefit from the prior work of others and their lessons learned.
