When starting an embroidery business, or any business for that fact, you need to consider what business opportunities you have.

Depending on your business type, the location of your business opportunities (customers) might vary. For example, as an online business you may want to attract customers from anywhere. However, as a store-front or workshop factory, you will want to position your business in a area that has an abundance of local business opportunities, and minimal competitors.

Local business opportunities for embroidery include:

• Schools
• Sports Clubs
• Hotels / Motels
• Restaurants and Cafes
• Social Clubs
• Government Services and Organizations
• Transport Services
• Publicans (Pubs, bars, clubs)
• Fitness Centers
• Building and Construction Services
  • Builders
  • Plumbers
  • Electricians
  • Excavation and Earth Moving
  • Gardening and Lawn
  • Cleaning Services
• Real Estate Agents
• Grocery Stores
• Manufacturing Plants
• Mechanics
• Screen Printing and Promotional Product Services (network with these businesses as they may choose to outsource their embroidery orders to you)
