seriously if you want to be profitable in a few years and instead of tossing your own life's worth to a sinking ship (all business's in the beginning) than you really need to walk away for a bit and start to look at writing a plan, it is like the playbook for a football team... just hope it isn't the Browns' playbook even though they got lucky yesterday...well there you go luck
what is around you for competition?
how many people in the city
income of avg household
everything is a factor
oh shit you are f****d, even if you do internet sales of powder coating, you can't compete profitably with other companies doing the same.As of the census[1] of 2000, there were 12,005 people, 5,364 households, and 2,880 families residing in the town.

Look I had the most bad arse business plan ever designed, I thought I took every thing into consideration... I had to update it every 3 months because of factors... I struggled in the beginning because i opened up with only 7 cents in my bank account, sustained business from there forward, had an issue with the business partner, almost ruined me, as i was recovering from that I skipped a few plays and landed here... which was part of the 10 year goal, done in 3 years... there is some success, but if you plan to live off of it and provide for a family... go get a job at MCD's
I looked at an aerial view of the layout also...
not very favorable...
I am not saying you will not succeed, and chances are you won't... you have about a 1% chance to succeed... but please think everything out... from 1 business owner to another... well prior owner, since I sold it off to my employer.
I see there is a river also, do marine installs
good luck

), and wengs, and now itchy's... BUT for those of you i just mentioned... i want to PC your gear once i get the upgraded gun up and running so we can be sure to get the best possible results!
