Providing excellent customer service and transparency is also highly sought after by customers, and most certainly should be at the top of your list.

Offer competitive rates, or perhaps undercut your competition. There are no rules or regulations when it comes to how much you charge, therefore, look to attract new business as quickly as possible, especially when you’re starting out.
