Leveraging the Branding Benefits of a Building Maintenance Business Acquisition
Startup building maintenance businesses typically suffer when it comes to brand recognition because unlike entrenched competitors, new brands lack visibility and history with their customers.
To compensate, one of the techniques entrepreneurs use is to buy a business to get an established brand. As a startup, the best you can hope for is to gradually develop brand awareness over a period of months and years.
Acquiring an established building maintenance business brand, on the other hand, has the potential to deliver the kind of brand recognition most startup can only dream about.
Don't Rule Out Franchising
