In today’s business world, the saying, “You have to spend money to make money” has never been more true. With property prices skyrocketing, those with brick and mortar businesses are suffering the worst and it makes sense to take your business on the road. Unfortunately, there aren’t very many businesses that are designed to be mobile and when you do find them, the combination of cost and the labor/time factor make them not very good options either.
What’s a small businessman to do then? You want to be your own boss and run your own business, but so many of them seem more like money pits than a profitable venture any more. What you need is a business that offers you an excellent return on your investment; one that provides a lower cost versus return and enables you to make a profit without having to go into debt.
A trashcan cleaning business, complete with a truck or trailer mounted trashcan cleaning machine is one of the most sound investments today’s entrepreneurs can make. It’s a service that is in high demand and that allows the average person to turn a profit in a very short time.
Investment Cost
When factoring in the initial cost of the truck or trailer and the truck mounted trashcan cleaning machine, you can be set back as much as $40,000. Add to this a rather modest advertising budget and you have all of the makings of a very lucrative business investment. That’s your initial investment and it didn’t seem too bad did it? Here’s where it gets good – the returns!
Return on Investment
We’ve just taken a look at your investment, now let’s take a look at your return. If everything goes well, you should be able to work the minute you get your first customer. Advertising does a lot, but word of mouth and networking goes a long way in this business. Plus, it doesn’t cost anything to do a good job and have your efforts noticed. Soon, you will have a dedicated route and a series of regular accounts bringing in profits week after week.
When you stop and think about it, there aren’t many businesses that you can invest in where you will see a cash profit the very first day. And remember, this one has very little overhead besides a full tank of gas and a hard working driver. Finally, a business where you can get started on a shoestring budget and make as much, if not more, than any other business opportunity out there.
As you can see, owning and operating a trashcan cleaning business offers an incredible return on your initial investment and even begins making you money on your first day in business. Use your profits to pay off your equipment right away or purchase another trashcan cleaning machine and truck or trailer and start up a second route in your community or a neighboring one; the possibilities are endless with this amazing opportunity. All it takes is an initial investment, the drive to work hard and succeed at your business and your ability to market yourself and your service to a willing audience.
