The first order of the day, of course, will be to understand what a turnkey business is. A turnkey business is a business that van be easily replicated. It is a business that is built on proven and tested methods and strategies. For example, someone starts a business.
And over time and with experience, figures out the things that work and things that do not. With this experience, he creates a system. This system comprises of all the do’s and do nots that make a business successful.
It is a business model that tells you exactly what to do and and how. Therefore, a turnkey business can be easily copied and replicated by another person for predictable and successful results.
Many woodworkers, over the course of time develop their own method of working. You may have in fact created your own successful business model. If you haven’t then you certainly can by doing several things like research, experimenting etc. It’s probably going to take some time before you’ve got things pat down.
