The idea of starting your own small business is enticing for many reasons, but start-up expenses\u2014especially for a franchise\u2014can be high. Rather than a franchise, why not try something that\u2019s completely yours, low-cost, and \u201cChinese-proof\u201d\u2014and that gives a high return? You\u2019ll get to make products your customers will truly love because they\u2019re unique and personal to them. As the owner of a ceramic customization business, you can have just that. Here\u2019s a breakdown of how to get started.<\/p>\n
Before you can start any business, you\u2019ve got to set a budget and get your financials in a row. Luckily, decorating ceramics has a much lower start-up cost than essentially any other franchise you can find, as well as many other types of businesses. It\u2019s still important that you have enough money saved up or that you can secure a loan\u2014you don\u2019t want to be in the red before you\u2019ve even begun\u2014but it won\u2019t take a second mortgage on your home to get started.<\/p>\n
The product possibilities are essentially endless. From ceramic and porcelain plates for food service, to trophies and artist collectibles, to large-scale tile murals for swimming pools and construction, to jewelry, souvenirs, beer growlers, house markers, and many others\u2014all can be uniquely decorated, and they\u2019ll deliver commercial lifetime true ceramic durability. Let your imagination run wild, and personalize products that embody your customers\u2019 art, photography, and imagery just for them.<\/p>\n
