We know - writing a business plan can be a daunting task for a new entrepreneur.
But here's the good news: With a few tips, any entrepreneur can create a successful plan for their business. If you can get past the mystique, you'll see that a business plan just describes where your CDs, tapes, and records wholesaler or manufacturer is headed and how you intend to get there.
Although there are many uses for a business plan, it's most important function is to guide your decision making and strategic planning.
Before you begin, we recommend reviewing a few sample business plans.

Prior to opening your doors for business, be sure you fully understand the competitive landscape and where your new business will fit in.
Turning Competitors Into Collaborators
After you've evaluated your local competitors, it's a wise move to talk to somebody who is already in the business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. The last thing they want to do is help you to be a better competitor.
However, an entrepreneur who owns a CDs, tapes, and records wholesaler or manufacturer in another town may be willing to share their entrepreneurial wisdom with you, once they realize that you are not going to directly compete with them in their community. Indeed, many experienced entrepreneurs enjoy offering advice to startup entrepreneurs. If you are persistent, you can find a business mentor who is willing to help you out.

Purchasing a CDs, Tapes, & Records Wholesaler or Manufacturing Business
At Gaebler, we're big advocates of buying a CDs, tapes, and records wholesaler or manufacturer instead of a startup. But as a CDs, tapes, and records wholesaler or manufacturer buyer, you'll quickly discover that a business purchase isn't completely hassle-free.
Buying a business can be just as complex as starting one. For most prospective business buyers, the first step is to contact a business broker.
A good business broker serves a number of useful purposes. From locating available companies to helping seal the deal, your broker will have the experience and skills to help you successfully navigate the purchase process.
Don't Rule Out Franchising
As an entrepreneur, your chances thriving in your new business go up significantly if you decide to franchise instead of doing it all on your own.
