VALIDATE BEFORE YOU INVEST
Turn a state-level idea into a local test.
- Pick one Texas metro before assuming statewide demand.
- Interview 10 potential customers in the same buyer group.
- Check licenses, insurance and local rules before estimating startup cost.
- Compare existing local businesses before choosing a position.
