On the other hand, an individual who has a power plant equipment and services business in a location that is not competitive to you may be more than happy to give you a few tips, once they realize that you are not going to directly compete with them in their community. 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.

Despite the appeal of a new business launch, the scales consistently tip in favor of buying a proven business enterprise. When you buy an established power plant equipment and services business, you gain access to a functional business operation with a customer base and a steady revenue stream.
Depending on your business goals, you may have no choice but to start a power plant equipment and services business from scratch. But for the sake of minimizing risk and maintaining your sanity, a business purchase is often the right move for emerging power plant equipment and services business entrepreneurs.
