- Financial, Marketing & Action Plans � Specific plans that describe your business environment, demographic targets and quantitative estimates.

Prior to opening your doors for business, be sure you fully understand the competitive landscape and where your new business will fit in.
Turning Competitors Into Collaborators
If you want to open an industrial x-ray laboratory it's a wise move to speak with somebody who is already in the business. If you think your local competitors will give you advice, you're being overoptimistic. It'd be crazy for them to teach you the business.
Fortunately, somebody who runs an industrial x-ray laboratory in a location that is not competitive to you will be much more likely to talk with you, given that you don't compete with them in their area. Many business owners are happy to give advice to new entrepreneurs. 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 an Industrial X-Ray Laboratory
For years, street-smart entrepreneurs have known that whenever possible, it's more advantageous to buy an existing industrial x-ray laboratory than it is to start one from scratch.
Although buyers should always perform thorough due diligence, there at least three reasons you should consider an industrial x-ray laboratory purchase as your entryway to business ownership.
- Proven Profitability. If you're careful in your research, the industrial x-ray laboratory you buy will have a track record of profitability � a big plus since it may take months or even years for a startup to turn a profit.
- Operational Efficiency. A good industrial x-ray laboratory should already function like a well-oiled machine.
- Capital Acquisition. In general, it's easier to finance an existing business than it is to fund a startup. While a startup only exists on paper (initially), established businesses have the benefit of historical earnings statements and tangible assets.
Don't Forget About Franchising As an Option
Tapping into a franchise opportunity makes it a certainty that you tap into best-practice tactics that have been tested and proven over time.
Before you get too far along in your plan to open an industrial x-ray laboratory, a smart move is to assess whether franchise opportunities in your space might make sense for you.
