How do you open a metal polishing company?

Question

what are the main things you need? thanks to all that answer!

Answer 1

Metal finishing is an odd "niche" business.

Developing a business plan as mentioned should include some research as to the demand for the service in your area.

Have to consider the scale of the operation also.

A "walk in " shop w/ a couple of buffing machines will not pay the rent.

A  commercial finishing outfit  ( even a relatively small opration) is a major investment in machinery , space, consumable items  , ( which vary w/ each type of metal) , power usage, labor , enviornmental concerns etc. etc.

Have been to finishing outfits & suppliers & they relied  on contract work from metal fabricators within the same industrial area.

Accepting "walk in" trade is rare.

Definitely visit a metal finisher to see what it is all about.
