Hello!
Clinton made some valid points about the business being difficult to
make a profit. I'll try to share my thoughts on your idea in a less
abrasive manner. . .I am the owner of a drafting service, CAD Wizards.
I started the business in 2004 and have little to no time to promote
the business. . .and little to no money to advertise.
Finding work is not as difficult as finding steady work, which has been
my problem. I feel that much of the American work force has become
tainted by those that have a lack of pride for the type of work they
perform and those that undercut legitimate hard working, honest, and
keep deserving companies from getting work.
I am young, but old fashioned in the sense that I would rather produce
a quality set of drawings with little to no rework required. My
services are more costly, but I feel they are worth it so I have not
given up on this business yet.
It has allowed me to explore other options as well. . .my most recent
project involved the engineering of a retaining wall for a residential
building. I was able to help the home owner by sub-contracting an
engineer to do the work for them. They were not able to get a response
from any local engineers, so I charged a small "finders fee" and didn't
do any of the work on the project. Everything worked out very well!
I think if you want to run a drafting service, try it. See how you like
it. It isn't going to be easy to start a legitimite business, but it is
possible.
Also, I would definitely consider hiring someone to help me complete my
CAD contracts if I was in need of electronics/electrical drawings. It
isn't something I'm completely familiar with or a main service that I
offer, so I would have to consult an external source. I'd be willing to
work with you to help both of us get more business if you're
interested. 

Sincerely,
Joseph Podwats
