I want to leave this question slightly open ended to fill questions in any industry. Have you hired a consultant. Have you found them to be valuable? Have their costs dissuaded you from obtaining their services? Have they paid for themselves through money and time saved? etc etc.
Here's my concern/fear. I don't know what I don't know. I fear making common mistakes that could turn extremely costly on what will be a shoestring budget.
Our particular situation will involve starting a self storage business. Neither of us have experience in building construction. I know there are consultants that assist the entire build up phase. I see major benefits by guiding us through zoning, permits, storm drainage, road access, security, construction etc etc. Atm the list seems daunting. Now I realize I can accomplish anything I put my mind to. At the same time, I'm not a big fan of spelunking without a flashlight.
