Forums: Discussions for entrepreneurs and small business.

Dear Mr. Silva,

Thank you for taking time out of your busy day and responding.  It was greatly appreciated.

I believe finding a niche and short term assignments are the way to go.  We live in Chicago and my husband manages security for some of the rooftops across from Wrigley Field during baseball season.  While this is a small job, it supplements our income and those of fellow officers.  My husband would like to do executive protection but at the moment we know very few officers qualified and trained for that type of work.

Thank you again and I will check into the website you mentioned and continue with my research.

Well said Mr. Silva.

Basic of any business is proper research; dig into your niche business as much as possible.

Your husband has the adequate expertise to start a security business but your concern should be how to get leads for this business. Yes, I do see that you are more worried for this also. There are lots of places in internet who generate leads for small businesses. They are not at all costly, you can afford to buy some and offer a proposal to your clients. You can also look for franchise opportunities. You can also put together few of your husband’s expertise in a website to represent your business in a better way. This will prove your seriousness and professionalism. Nothing is paid overnight so if you are really interested then read more on this topic and you will find your answer.
