Gain a knowledge of how existing firms have positioned themselves in the marketplace, and then design your business in a way that sets you apart from the others.

Getting Advice from Experienced Entrepreneurs

If you are seriously contemplating launching a photography studio rental business, it's a wise move to have a conversation with someone who is in the business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. Why would they want to educate a future competitor?

But, a person who owns a photography studio rental business in a different city will be much more likely to talk with you, given that you don't compete with them in their area. 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.

Benefits & Drawbacks of a Photography Studio Rental Business Acquisition

An acquisition can be a great way to enter photography studio rental business ownership. But it's important to evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of buying a business before you decide on either an acquisition or startup approach.

BENEFITS: A good photography studio rental business will deliver revenue and ROI from day one. Even more, the right photography studio rental business acquisition can place you in a market leadership position from your first days as a business owner.

DRAWBACKS: Acquired photography studio rental businesses sometimes have entrenched processes and systems that run counter to your business objectives. If an acquisition target appears unmalleable, move on to another prospect.

Is Franchising the Right Option?

Too many new business owners fail simply because they didn't take the time to explore the possibility of a franchise. As a franchisee, you'll have access to a broad knowledge base, established supply chains, proven operational processes and other resources. Today's franchises offer a range of opportunities for ambitious startups.
