Already have that covered. Have a friend that owns a business in this town that is giving me the behind the scenes dirt that the Chamber of Commerce won't tell you. Told me the the business in question has a good reputation in town and there is a need for some of the add on services that I would like to sell.

Hey Grmi66, I got an uncle who is in the print business in another country. Not sure if his business revolves arond vinyl signs but I'm sure I could I ask. I read you were worried about online competiton, so would working with someone with lower costs be a practical business move?

Have almost 20 years experience in selling all matters of printing including a few signs here & there. Was more interested in just learning about someone whose main line was signs. But it is all a moot point, the timing is off for moving and buying a business right now. So going to wait a few more years until my kids are out of college.
