Learning More About the Industry
After you've evaluated your local competitors, be sure to learn from folks who are already in business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. It'd be crazy for them to teach you the business.
But, a person who owns an elevator shaft cleaning business in a location that is not competitive to you may be willing to share their entrepreneurial wisdom with you, provided that you won't be directly competing with them. 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.

If you're on the fence consider this: There has never been a better time to acquire an elevator shaft cleaning business. The down economy has resulted in a glut of available businesses, many of which can be acquired for bargain prices.
