Three Critical Questions to Ask when Selecting a Company for the Development of Your Product


  1. What phase is your design now?

    • Is it just a concept sketch?

    • Does a drawing exist?

    • Is it fully developed, designed, prototyped, and ready for manufacture?

  2. What do you want from the company that ultimately manufactures the part?

    • Buy your idea outright so they can market it themselves?

    • Pay you a royalty for every part sold?
    • Manufacture the part for you so you can market and ship the product yourself?

    • Just develop a design/prototype so you can show it to prospective clients and assess whether there’s a market for your idea, and at what price point?

  3. Other things to consider

    • What experience does the company have in development of new products?

    • How many years have they been in business?

    • Can they show you examples of prior work?

    • Can they help you with patent issues?
