Finding a Non-Competitive Business Mentor
If you want to open a store fixtures used business it's a wise move to learn as much as you can from somebody who is already in the business. Local competitors are not going to give you the time of day, mind you. The last thing they want to do is help you to be a better competitor.
Fortunately, somebody who runs a store fixtures used business outside of your community can be a great learning resource for you, given that you don't compete with them in their area. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you. In my experience, you may have to call ten business owners in order to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.
How do you find somebody who runs a store fixtures used business who is willing to talk to you but doesn't live nearby?

Store Fixtures Used Business Acquisitions: Financial Considerations
Startup store fixtures used businesses carry a host of financial risks and concerns. Without an operational history, it's hard to predict how your startup will actually perform in the marketplace.
Although there are many benefits to buying an existing store fixtures used business, the financial advantages rank near the top of the list. Many entrepreneurs buy an existing business for the sole purpose of tapping into the financial benefits of an established customer base.
But most importantly, existing store fixtures used businesses have documented financial histories. Although you can create pro forma earnings and financial statements for a startup, a business-for-sale should have a well-documented, multi-year history of financial performance.
Don't Rule Out Franchising
If you prefer to partner with others to launch your new business, it's smart to think through buying a franchise rather than starting a business from scratch.
Before opening a store fixtures used business, you ought to investigate whether purchasing a franchise might make it easy to get started.
