Business Overview
Computer malfunction or a complete computer network systems crash cancost some companies thousands of dollars in lost revenues for everyhour that their computer system is down. This fact alone is more than acompelling reason to start a mobile computer repair business. Operatingthe business on a mobile basis means that you’ll never be more than acell phone call and a few miles away when a client calls to inform youthat disaster has struck and they’re in desperate need of your service.
In addition to reliable transportation, a cell phone, and tools tooperate the business, you’ll need computer repair experience andskills–and plenty of it. Of course, if you lack the skills needed torepair the computer systems, you could always concentrate on themarketing and management aspects of the service, and hire subcontractrepair technicians to work on an on-call and revenue split basis.
