Rather than avoiding your business plan, keep your business plan simple. Ultimately, your business plan is intended to be a resource for you, the business owner.

If your time is limiting, outline the essentials of your pediatric dermatology practice's business plan now and make a commitment to come back to it later.

Evaluate the Competition

Before you open a pediatric dermatology practice in your area, it's worthwhile to see how many competitors you have. We've provided the link below to help you generate a list of competitors nearby. Just enter your city, state and zip code to get a list of pediatric dermatology practices in your community.

If there's too much competition, it may be wise to consider starting the business in a less competitive marketplace.

Finding a Non-Competitive Business Mentor

If you want to open a pediatric dermatology practice 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. What's in it for them?

Fortunately, somebody who runs a pediatric dermatology practice outside of your community will be much more likely to talk with you, provided that you won't be directly competing with them. 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.

So, what can you do to find a pediatric dermatology practice owner that lives outside of your area?

Here's one way to do it. Just use our link below, find somebody and call them.

Most notably, a pediatric dermatology practice includes more than just assets - a brand identity and customer base come with the keys to the front door. And that's not to mention the fact that a purchase let's you avoid the trial-and-error mistakes that are common in startups.

Consider Buying a Franchise

You should know that your odds of making a success of your new business greatly improve when you join the ranks of franchisees and leverage their successful brand and track record.
