After you have written you plan, you'll also need to develop a strategy for your next steps.

A Good Source of Advice
After you've evaluated your local competitors, it's a smart move to have a conversation with someone who is in the 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.

Leveraging the Branding Benefits of a Radio Station Equipment Dealers Business Acquisition
Branding a new business takes time, resources and a lot of hard work. Given the choice, most new radio station equipment dealers business owners would prefer to buy an existing brand rather than invest the time and energy it takes to build a new brand.
Unless you are 100% married to the idea of a startup, you can bypass the time it takes to establish a brand identity by buying a business to get an established brand. In the hands of marketing professionals, the process for creating brand awareness is still long and gruelling.
But by buying a radio station equipment dealers business that already has a strong brand identity, you can shorten the time requirements and reap brand benefits from the beginning of your ownership career.
Don't Rule Out Franchising
You should know that your odds of becoming a successful entrepreneur go up significantly if you become a franchisee and benefit from the prior work of others and their lessons learned.
