Creating a First-Rate Tuckpointing & Cleaning Company Business Plan

We've provided the link below to help you get a list of local competitors near you. After following the link, enter your city, state and zip code to get a list of tuckpointing and cleaning businesses in your area.
It's important to be aware of what the competition is doing. Take the time to visit the competition to properly assess their strengths and weaknesses.
A Good Source of Advice
After you've evaluated your local competitors, be sure 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. Why would they want to educate a future competitor?
However, a fellow entrepreneur who has started a tuckpointing and cleaning business on the other side of the country may be more than happy to give you a few tips, as long as they don't view you as a competitive threat. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you. It can take a while to find an entrepreneur who is willing to talk, but it's well worth the effort.

Tips for Buying a Tuckpointing & Cleaning Business
Many startup tuckpointing and cleaning business owners ultimately set aside their startup plans and instead, purchase a tuckpointing and cleaning business in the business-for-sale marketplace.
An acquisition isn't necessarily a bed of roses. You'll need to thoroughly evaluate the factors involved with buying a business. First and foremost, it's important to make sure the business is the right fit for your personal and professional goals.
If the business appears to meet your requirements, you'll need to verify your impressions through broker-assisted due diligence and legal research.
Franchising May Be a Better Way to Go
