Why You Should Buy (Instead of Start) an Auto Wrecking Information & Referral Services Business
Spurred on by dreams of a future big money buyout and an undeniable entrepreneurial impulse, many would-be auto wrecking information and referral services business owners are driven to pursue startup strategies.
However, a business purchase is nearly always the smarter ownership option.

Franchising May Be a Better Way to Go
Time and time again, we see inexperienced entrepreneurs stumble during the first few months of auto wrecking information and referral services business ownership. Why? Primarily because the dream of small business ownership doesn't always factor in the challenges involved with getting a new company off the ground.
That makes franchising an attractive alternative to traditional business startups.
