Crowded Space	Competition is high when it comes to your printable sales business, so it's important that you spend a good amount of time analyzing the market and understanding where the demand lies.

However, finding the right supplier can take a lot of time, energy and trial/error. If done properly, this process can save you months (if not years) of time and energy. More on this below in the "finding a supplier" section.
Security Issues	With any Saas business, data loss and security issues may arise throughout your process of building your product. It's critical that you understand exactly what you're responsible for and how to avoid potential issues down the road.
Lack of benefits	With a printable sales business, you are typically self-employed and responsible for finding your own insurance, which can be quite costly and time-consuming.
Isolation	Often times, as a printable sales business, you typically work alone and do not have much face-to-face interaction with other team members.
