1.) Lawn mowing service/snow plowing (industrial mowers but not full blown landscaping)
2.) Power washing/snow plowing business
3.) Pilot car/Escort vehicle service
4.) Tow truck buisiness w/ flatbed truck
5.) Some kind of auto hauling business w/ flatbed truck (not a tractor trailer)
I really can't stand working in an inbound-call center selling insurance anymore. There's no real prospects for me to move up anytime in the near future. At least not to something I'd enjoy any more than this. So I have these different ideas of a business I'd be interested in starting and being my own boss and they shouldn't have any crazy amount of costs to get started.
If any of you either own a business like one of these yourselves, or know someone who does and know a decent amount of what it's like for them and how well they make out after expenses, please chime in and offer up any info you may have. I really can't decide which would be the best option. I live in the Cleveland area so in the winter, I couldn't do power washing or lawn mowing year round, hence the /snowplowing. And the reason I don't want to do a tractor trailer auto hauling service is the start up costs and sheer size of the vehicle I'd have to drive. I'd prefer a 1 or 2-car flatbed for that.
I'll look forward to any info anyone can provide. Thanks in advance! :beer:
