I know you posted this several months ago but, here is what I recommend...RUN! In our market today there are so many different brands and new ones popping up everyday. To get an established brand you will probably have to purchase an existing company and all the baggage with it, especially in a state where company taxes are tremendous. What about union versus non-union labor. In the northeastern US, you may not be allowed to work on certain customer location if you are non union. Non union customers may not pay your union rate to do service....Forget about what lines are available,,,,save your millions, that is what you will need to get started properly, and retire to Costa Rica or somewhere.


Good Luck.
