Buying an Existing Sign / Screen Printer -Question??????????

Post by johnnyd »

I am thinking of buying an existing sign/screen printer that does not do much volume but has all of the right equipment for it to have great potential. The current owner does absolutely no marketing and has lost interest.
I have always wanted to own a screen printing shop but I get hesitant when I see soooo many mom and pop printers. I guess because the equipment is relatively inexpensive compared to most industries is why this is so. I Don't want to be a mom and pop store front. My goal is to market corporations and shops for business. Maybe even get creative and market to the local area demographic, like something that is unique to othe area and wholesale them to area shops. Anyway, Does anyone do this or am I not realistic and only the big printers are able?
Any input would be greatly appreciated and look forward to your thoughts and experiences.

I guess it really depends on your market area. Where are you? This is what I do and have done for years.
