By Bill Henthorn

So you have always wanted to own a hotel or a motel, in your part of the country.

Starting a Home Repair - Inspection Business
By Bill Henthorn

When buying or selling real estate, it is common for the buyer to request a home inspection in order to discover appliances or house mechanicals that could be potential problems. This would include items like the air conditioning system, the heating system, the plumbing system, the electrical system, the roof, the foundation, the outside paint or siding and other items that could need to be replaced. A handyman would be a good candidate to own such a business. There are private and franchise home inspection companies that either could be started from scratch or purchased as an existing business. The advantages of buying an existing business are the clientele that comes with the business. It is also easier to continue on the path to a successful operation with the purchase of an existing business.

Starting a Day Care Center
By Bill Henthorn

Assuming you can obtain the appropriate licenses and meet the state requirements you can start a Child Care business or a Day Care Center. Or you could buy an existing business with its in place clientele. The second choice can be better if a fair price can be reached and you can keep the existing clients. On the other hand if you have a potential customer base that is just waiting for you to open your doors, you would be far better off if you can start the business in your own facility. The cost of buying an existing business can be far higher than if you start one from the beginning. The big advantage is having a clientele from the get-go. The problem is how do you guarantee that the base of customers will stay with you when you buy the company. This is the real value of an existing company.

The hair salon business is all about customer satisfaction. Those salons that have happy customers thrive and grow. Those that have a problem with customer satisfaction will not grow, will not get referrals and will eventually lose customers, and go out of business. The message here is if you are not a people person, then this business may not be for you. A salon needs to be a pleasant place to visit and spend an hour or so. The beauticians need to be skilled and friendly. They need to be efficient in their work and professional in the service they provide.

A large family can supply needed employees

A franchise that has many employees working in it on different shifts is one that a large family could run quite well if the family members are so inclined. The family must however get along with each other, as they will spend even more time together if they work in the business together.
