In fact, they are often very willing to share startup advice with you. Our estimate is that you may have to contact many business owners to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.

Three Arguments for Buying a Child Safety Products & Services Business
At Gaebler, we think it makes a lot of sense to explore a child safety products and services business purchase before committing to a startup.
Although buyers should always perform thorough due diligence, there at least three reasons you should consider a child safety products and services business purchase as your entryway to business ownership.
- Initial Revenue. With a business purchase, you'll have the ability to buy a company that is already operating in the black.
- Operational Efficiency. Existing businesses are established operations, with the necessary processes, people and other resources already in place.
- Capital Acquisition. Lenders, investors and other funding sources almost always prefer business purchases to startups.
Don't Forget About Franchising As an Option
A new business startup presents a number of challenges, not the least of which is the creation of policies, procedures and workplace routines. By tapping into a franchise, startup entrepreneurs eliminate the guesswork and gain the advantage of established business processes.
