Issue territories Ask for investments to build an “investment fund” Train inexperienced individuals in a trade they have never worked in, similar to how many franchises operate Use the same business name across multiple industries or territories for the same tradeSPS only deals with older companies with brand names deeply rooted in the communities they serve
When dealing with potential partners-SPS only works with individuals who have real experience in the trade related to the businesses sps manages, operates, or owns.
