I recently began taking Broadcast Production and Engineering courses at Hocking College in Nelsonville, OH. After finishing the Field Production and Broadcast Systems courses I realized just how good at this stuff I was. As a part of my required cirriculum I had to take Small Business Management I, and after the 6th week of class, I had an idea. The idea was simple: I'm pretty good at this Videography stuff and I know how to do professional level work, so why don't I start my own Videography business? Well, I started researching and putting together things from my Business class. After doing some Market Analysis, I realized that there is a huge market for this kind of stuff. The problem I came across was that I needed a competitive advantage over them. So, I started looking for ways to become an Authorized Retailer for Canon, Sony, and Hewlett-Packard. Unfortunaltey, I have been hugely unsuccessful with this side of my research. I know there are ways to do it, and I know it should be easy to find, but I'm thinking that maybe with all the other stuff I'm worrying about with the startup process that I may just be overlooking it. Could anyone help me out here.
