Hey everyone.
As I mentioned in my `new member` thread, I am starting a business with some help from the government. They will give me $1500 to cover start up costs. I`ve created a little list as to where the money will go. If anyone has suggestions of what I should/ shouldn`t buy, please let me know. Also if there a place online or in my area (greater toronto area) that anyone recommends, please let me know.
Anyways, my list:
($600 maximum for equipment)
($200 minimum for advertising)
($100 required for registration)
Carpet Extractor- $200-$300?
Buffer- $75
Portable Wet/Dry vac- $100
Hose with attachment- $50
Cloths, towels, bucket, other misc.- $125
Shampoo, clay, waxes, polishes, protectants, other chemicals- $250-$350 (doesn`t count as equipment)
Advertising- $400
Registration- $100
Unfortunately, everything I buy has to have an invoice and show that taxes were paid. Otherwise I would`ve bought used stuff off craigslist and spent the rest on advertising. O ya, and I will be doing this out of the trunk of my Protege...so all this stuff needs to be as portable as possible. I plan on driving to people`s houses and doing it on their driveway.
Does this make sense?? If anyone sees any flaws in my plan, please let me know. I`m also not sure about the carpet extractor cost which is why everything adds up to $1400.
Once I get my costs down, I`m going to establish a list of services, with prices.
I appreciate the help, thanks!!
