Thinking about opening a parachutes business? We tell you what you need to know to get started.
Creating a Business Plan for a Parachutes Business
A common mistake for a small business owner is to not create a business plan.
A good business plan defines the game plan. If you don't have a business plan, your leadership will be handicapped, choosing short-term opportunities at the expense of long-term benefits.
Before you make another business decision and before you start writing a business plan, you need to create a mission statement. From there, it's time to initiate the hard work involved with writing the rest of your parachutes company's business plan.

Find Good Remote Business Advice
If you are interested in starting a parachutes business, be sure to learn from folks who are already in business. If you think your local competitors will give you advice, you're being overoptimistic. The last thing they want to do is help you to be a better competitor.
However, a fellow entrepreneur who has started a parachutes business on the other side of the country can be a great learning resource for you, as long as they don't view you as a competitive threat. In fact, they are often very willing to share startup advice with you. If you are persistent, you can find a business mentor who is willing to help you out.
Where does one find an entrepreneur who is running a parachutes business that lives outside of your area?
It's not that hard. Just use the handy link below and enter in a random city/state or zipcode.
Advantages of a Parachutes Business Purchase
On a percentage basis, more entrepreneurs intend to enter parachutes business ownership through a startup than through a business purchase. Yet parachutes business startups aren't easy - many fail within the first year.
The decision of buying vs. starting a business shouldn't be taken lightly. By buying a profitable parachutes business, you'll shorten the amount of time it takes to achieve a return on your investment because you'll have the advantage of a proven operation and an existing customer base.
Explore Franchising Options
The chances of becoming a successful entrepreneur greatly improve if you opt for franchising rather than going it alone.
Prior to starting a parachutes business, it's worthwhile to assess whether purchasing a franchise might help you on your entrepreneurial journey.
