Default Re: Aviation small business startups

For what I have seen (I have not seen books) the people who thrive start with an FBO/school/charter, then add maintenance/paint shop and end up with a compound of services. This allows you to do a one shop everything. "Yea take the plane up there for a paint job and since is there might as well fix this this and this)

If they treat you right you come back, if they fix your radios good, you come back and so on.

You have to keep quality and service up.

In the aviation business everyone wants it yesterday and the best, money will talk later (people do shop but what they do not want are problems)
