Would-be plastic injection molding business business owners can either launch a new business or acquire an existing operation.

Startup plastic injection molding businesses can be attractive because they allow the entrepreneur to have more control and greater influence. Yet startups are also more difficult to finance because their nature is inherently risky.

On the other hand, a plastic injection molding business purchase is more attractive to lenders and investors. Buying a business means that you'll have access to a documented financial history, an established business model and other factors that are unknowns in a startup � and that makes the ownership opportunity less of a risk to both you and your plastic injection molding business's key stakeholders.

Franchising May Be a Better Way to Go

Buying a franchise makes it a certainty that you are exposed to proven ideas that have been tested and proven over time.

Before starting a plastic injection molding business, you should assess whether buying a franchise could increase your chances of success.
