Talk to People Who Are Already in the Business

In fact, they are often very willing to share startup advice 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.

Financial Benefits of Buying a Print & Lithograph Inks Business
You've invested a lot of time and effort in planning your startup. But here's something you probably don't know: Startup print and lithograph inks businesses consistently fail to achieve the financial performance of acquired print and lithograph inks businesses.
One of the ways to mitigate the financial risk of a startup is to modify your approach to tap into the financial benefits of buying an existing print and lithograph inks business. Many entrepreneurs buy an existing business for the sole purpose of tapping into the financial benefits of an established customer base.
An acquired business also has documented assets and earnings - a big advantage with lenders and investors.
Consider Buying a Franchise
The probabilities on your thriving in your new business are greatly increased when you opt to franchise rather than going it alone.
Before opening a print and lithograph inks business, a smart move is to assess whether purchasing a franchise might simplify your entering the business.
