New Business Idea: Packing Biz
Packing/Unpacking Business
Today we have a very mobile society. People move several
times or more in their life times. People move nearly three
times more than in last few decades. Often, these people have
no friends or family member to lend a helping hand. That’s
one reason packing services are very popular. The other is
that society is increasingly dependent on “convenience”
services (i.e., services that save them time or aggravation
so that they can spend their free time doing things
they enjoy).
Your main duties will include packing or unpacking items for
the pending move, labeling items for easy location. You will
also provide the boxes and packing materials for clients this
should be included in your overall charges.
Start-Up:
Start up is less than $500. All you need is to print
up a few flyer's to spread the word—and you can place
them at Laundromats, apartment complexes, and with
permission at moving van rental agencies.
Invest small amount in packing supplies as
needed. More after acquiring first customers.
Income
Consider underbidding similar more experienced packaging
competition in the area(check competitors price) until you gain
experience. Charges vary according to the part of the country.
Rates higher in the larger metropolitan cities.
Skills/QualificationsW
ell organized, know how to pack large to delicate size items,
good business sense.
