Lots of people are looking for different ways to make money with this new economy. Maybe you got laid off or are just looking for something new, but either way now is a great time to look at starting a new business. One that could be a good option for you is a cartridge refill business.
Why It’s a Good Idea
The best business ideas involve a product or service that people need no matter what the economy is. And when it comes to printing, ink, toners, etc. you know that businesses need to keep doing this no matter what.
The other thing about a refill business is that it will end up being cheaper for your clients to have you refill their cartridges than to buy brand new cartridges. So if anything, this type of business could do better with this current economy because companies will really be looking for a good deal.
How to Get Started
So how do you get started in this type of business? Well, it’s not as hard as you think. Probably the best way to go is to get with an ink cartridge refill franchise. That way you don’t have to worry about finding the right equipment and other things that could slow you down. They’ll also train you on everything you need to know to get your new business started.
I don’t know the actual startup cost for this type of business, but I can’t image that it is very much. The equipment and supplies are pretty cheap overall, and so the biggest expense would be the franchising, retail location, and training. There are companies out there that rather than selling a franchise will sell you all the supplies you need for under $300. But the training and brand recognition you get with a franchise can be well worth it.
If you’ve ever thought of starting your own business now may be a great time to try it. And maybe an ink cartridge refill business is the right fit for you!
