Posted: Sep 23, 2006 12:32 PM	Pulling the trigger I've owned a service franchise for the last three years. I'm looking to get away from the franchise and into something for myself.

The nature of your business looks very similar to what I do in that it's a mobile service and relationships are key. I believe I could handle the task well. But, what I'm uncomfortable about is the DEMAND for the product IN MY AREA. I live in Charlotte North Caroilna. Traveling is not a problem. As a matter of fact I'm looking forward to it. Can anyone here help me with this part of the decision making process? From what everyone tells me the foam roofing business is already too competitive. If that's the case I'm guessing residential insulation isn't far behind. So, how's the water? Would you do it again at this point in time? Regards, Leon Blocksom
