Getting Started in Picture Rental Business Ownership
Would-be picture rental business business owners can either launch a new business or acquire an existing operation.
Startup picture rental businesses can be attractive because they allow the entrepreneur to have more control and greater influence. Yet startups are also more difficult to finance because their nature is inherently risky.
Armed with several years of actual financials and a current asset appraisal, it is much easier to convince lenders to take a chance on a picture rental business acquisition. Although buying a business doesn't guarantee success, it substantially increases your odds of obtaining financing and achieving profitability.
Don't Rule Out Franchising
