Having a strong support system is crucial when you want to start and run your own business. Whether it’s financial, emotional, or operational support, small business owners need a community around them to be successful. Your support system can provide guidance and insight to the industry that you are working in and can even help bring in new customers. But finding people that you can trust and depend on can be difficult, especially if you are in the title industry.

In the title industry, you want to make sure you have a strong support system to help you with the ups and downs of the real estate world. But it could be challenging to find people that you connect with who are not your competitors. That is why it’s crucial to look around your community and identify your allies—the people you can rely on.

Family & Friends Support

Before starting your own business, it’s necessary to inform your friends and family and ask for their support. Telling your loved ones about your goals and ambitions for your business can be a great way to help you stay accountable. Your friends and family are going to be there for you every step of the way—from the concept to the grand opening and beyond.

Additionally, with your loved ones at your back, you can reach out to them for emotional support if and when you need it. They are the ones who will cheer you on, give you an extra push when it’s needed most and remind you why you are following your dreams.

Community Support

To keep a business running for generations you are going to need the support of your community (as well as the support of your family and friends). The best way to earn the support of your community is to be active in it. This can mean sponsoring a local sports team, attending events with your business, or getting involved with local charity organizations. People want to do business with someone they trust and becoming an active participant within your community can build that trust, strengthen your relationships, and show that you care.

Your local Chamber of Commerce is another great place to find support for your new business. The Chamber of Commerce is an excellent ally and provides a wealth of resources to help small businesses in their town succeed. Joining a Chamber can also help you build and foster relationships with other local entrepreneurs that can help generate more leads and more sales. When your business joins a Chamber of Commerce, you are significantly improving your business’s visibility and credibility.

Industry Support

No matter what industry you’re entering, you are going to want to make connections within that industry and gain support from peers and colleagues who understand what you are going through. A simple way to find industry support is to join associations that are related to what you do. For example, if you are opening a title company, you can—and should—join the American Land Title Association (ALTA). Joining associations like ALTA can help you stay up to date on the latest industry news and practices. Many associations also provide continuing education on various industry topics.
