Business Plan Basics for Dry Cleaners Equipment & Supplies Businesses
You've been working on your dry cleaners equipment and supplies company's business plan for a while now and you think you're really starting to make progress. You've covered your mission, your strategy and the financial chapter is top notch. But your business plan won't be finished until you've included material about your industry.
Industry analyses are standard chapters in dry cleaners equipment and supplies company business plans and are often required by lenders or investors. Industry analyses are critical for contextualizing your startup within an industry setting.

Learning More About the Industry
As part of your due diligence on opening a dry cleaners equipment and supplies business, it's a wise move to talk to somebody who is already in the business. Local competitors are not going to give you the time of day, mind you. Why would they want to educate a future competitor?
But, a person who owns a dry cleaners equipment and supplies business in another town may be more than happy to give you a few tips, as long as they don't view you as a competitive threat. 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.

Gaining Access to Dry Cleaners Equipment & Supplies Business Ownership
Some entrepreneurs buy existing dry cleaners equipment and supplies businesses, while others plunge headfirst into a dry cleaners equipment and supplies business startup. Although startup dry cleaners equipment and supplies businesses are common, many new entrepreneurs overlook the benefits of buying a dry cleaners equipment and supplies business on the business-for-sale marketplace.
If you're on the fence consider this: There has never been a better time to acquire a dry cleaners equipment and supplies business. The down economy has resulted in a glut of available businesses, many of which can be acquired for bargain prices.
Consider Franchising
As an entrepreneur, your chances doing well with your venture are much better if you purchase a franchise and benefit from the prior work of others and their lessons learned.
If your goal is to start a dry cleaners equipment and supplies business, you would be wise to determine whether buying a franchise could make it easy to get started.
