Studying the Market
If you are seriously contemplating launching a resins business, the next step is to learn as much as you can from somebody who is already in the business. If you think owners of nearby resins businesses will give you advice, think again. The last thing they want to do is help you to be a better competitor.
But, a person who owns a resins business in another town may be more than happy to give you a few tips, after they realize you reside far away from them and won't be stealing their local customers. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you. It can take a while to find an entrepreneur who is willing to talk, but it's well worth the effort.
