BARRIERS TO ENTRY. Death care businesses have traditionally been transferred to successive generations within a family and in most cases have developed a local heritage and tradition that act as a barrier for those wishing to enter an existing market. Heritage and tradition afford an established funeral home or cemetery a local franchise and provide the opportunity for repeat business. Other difficulties faced by entities desiring to enter a market include local zoning restrictions, substantial capital requirements, increasing regulatory burdens and scarcity of cemetery land in certain urban areas. In addition, established firms' backlog of preneed, prefunded funerals or presold cemetery and mausoleum spaces also makes it difficult for new entrants to gain entry into the marketplace. Since 2000, with many of the large death care consolidators restructuring their operating models, we have seen some barriers to entry lessened as new competitors have captured market share in some areas. We do not believe this trend represents a long-term change in the industry.

Unionization - Will try to avoid unionizing AG House Gallery
BARRIERS TO ENTRY. 10. New entry into the market for the research, development, manufacture and sale of a BMD System would be difficult and unlikely. The time required to develop the necessary expertise to manufacture a BMD System would far exceed two years. The cost to develop the necessary technology to manufacture a BMD System would be prohibitively high.

The existence of broad patents governing the formulations and the manufacture of such products make new entry both difficult and unlikely.
BARRIERS TO ENTRY. 2.1 The College has considered the information available about its performance in fair access and widening participation and has concluded that a number of barriers still discourage applications from disadvantaged groups. These include: The overall cost of study at HE level, even given the substantial support from government; The cost of auditions – the audition fee plus the cost of travelling to Manchester; The inequalities in music tuition provision nationally at pre-tertiary levels; The limited aspirations of young musicians from disadvantaged backgrounds; The lack of availability of suitable quality musical instruments for those students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
