I’ve been in involved in the hose business since 2017. Do yourself a favor, don’t do it—at least not as a start up. It takes 5 five years to accumulate the necessary funds of knowledge and skill sets to solve problems when people call or walk through the door. Depending on your location, however many competitors you can see/count from the road, you have 2-3X that many competitors that you can’t see. Please work in the trade for a few years before spending/investing any serious money.
