How to Write a Simple Pipeline Contractors Company Business Plan
Haven't created a business plan for your pipeline contractors business yet? You could be in big trouble.
At Gaebler, we advise new business owners to keep your business plan simple. Length and polish aren't as important as consistency, accuracy and thoroughness.
If your time is limiting, outline the essentials of your pipeline contractors company's business plan now and make a commitment to come back to it later.
Don't Overlook the Competition
Prior to opening a pipeline contractors business within your community, it's essential to see what the competition looks like. Try our link below to generate a list of competitors near you. Complete the form by entering your city, state and zip code to get a list of pipeline contractors businesses that are close by.
If there's too much competition, it may be wise to consider starting the business in a less competitive marketplace.
Finding a Non-Competitive Business Mentor
If you are seriously contemplating launching a pipeline contractors business, be sure to learn from folks who are already in business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. Why would they want to educate a future competitor?
However, a fellow entrepreneur who has started a pipeline contractors business in another town may be willing to share their entrepreneurial wisdom with you, provided that you won't be directly competing with them. 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.

Advantages of Buying an Established Pipeline Contractors Business
It's no secret that entrepreneurs have a strong impulse to build companies from the ground up.
Yet a healthier and safer strategy may be to purchase an existing pipeline contractors business.
When you buy an existing company, you get a functional (and presumably profitable) company from day one. 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.
Don't Rule Out Franchising
Being part of a network of franchisees makes it a certainty that you can leverage ideas and systems from other franchisees and get strong support from the home office.
As part of your process in starting a pipeline contractors business, you would be wise to check out whether there are good franchise opportunities available that might make sense for you.
The link below gives you access to our franchise directory so you can see if there's a franchise opportunity for you. You might even find something that points you in a completely different direction.
