Your new cheerleading and instruction business needs a business plan. But if you've never drafted a business plan before, the process can be intimidating.

After clicking on the link, type in your city, state and zip code to get a list of cheerleading and instruction businesses near you.
Is the established competition doing a good job? It's important to understand their strengths and weaknesses and think through how you'll stake up against those established businesses.
Learn from Others Who Are Already In This Space
After you've evaluated your local competitors, be sure to learn as much as you can from somebody who is already in the business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. It'd be crazy for them to teach you the business.
But, a person who owns a cheerleading and instruction business outside of your community can be a great learning resource for you, as long as they don't view you as a competitive threat.
