Turning Competitors Into Collaborators

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.

Guidelines for a Library Networks Business Acquisition

Many startup library networks business owners ultimately set aside their startup plans and instead, purchase a library networks business in the business-for-sale marketplace.

An acquisition isn't necessarily a bed of roses. You'll need to thoroughly evaluate the factors involved with buying a business. The first criteria to consider is whether the existing business can be adequately adapted to your business philosophy.

Once you have determined that the library networks business is an appropriate match for your goals, you will need to skillfully negotiate on price and perform a thorough due diligence process before you finalize the deal.

Franchising May Be a Better Way to Go
