The Best Place to Launch a Computer Repair Biz
What's the best way to launch a computer repair business? Part-time, unless you already know there's plenty of demand in your area and you have plenty of cash to tough out the ramp-up period that follows the launch of any business. How about the best place?
Soring PC Repair of Ferndale, MI is launching its business this way. By starting part-time, Soring PC Repair will test out its offerings like virus removal and custom-built computers. Is there still a market for custom-built computers in that location? I'm not sure, but there's no way to be more certain then giving the idea a try part-time.
In Southeast Michigan, it seems that about half of the computer repair businesses that existed two years ago have since moved out or closed down completely. Before launching full time, see if you can research how many businesses have recently failed in your target area. One trick: call up the computer repair businesses that show up in a Google or Yahoo Maps local search - are half of them closed? That might be a red flag.
