Posted March 4, 2017 Depends on your knowledge. It is not a good idea to start a business with no concrete topic at all and if you dont have a very good knowledge base on what you will be doing GUITAR BUILD LOG FROM SCRATCH OUT OF APPLEWOOD - Ryzen Build - R5 3600 | MSI X470 Gaming Plus MAX | 16GB CL16 3200MHz Corsair LPX | Dark Rock 4 MSI 2060 Super Gaming X 1TB Intel 660p | 250GB Kingston A2000 | 1TB Seagate Barracuda | 2TB WD Blue be quiet!

Then i would suggest a Local troubleshooting business, cause if you want to take this online, i dont think there are people who are willing to ship there smartphone/computer.

Depends on your location too. If you're thinking of getting into the hardware selling arena then it's very difficult. Margins are low and you'll need to get good volume to have a sustainable business. If you're really serious about getting into the industry id follow the advise of the other posters. Get yourself very well trained up on fault finding / general tech skills and market yourself as a self employed local IT support/Texhnician. Overheads are low and you can charge a modest hourly rate. The greater the skill set the more you can charge. Ive known quite a few people that started in the general IT support market and progressed into specialist networking fields. From £10/hr as a technician to today charging upwards of £100/hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 5, 2017 Get a day job to pay the bills, then do what @Enderman suggested. Word your ass off and stay motivated to your ultimate goal. Also tip from someone who ran his own business for a decade. Never log the hours you work on your own business and then try to work out what you ultimately make an hour, you will cry.

Posted March 5, 2017 you start a buisiness, by starting. there's actualluy nothing more to it. you decide what your buisiness will be doing (preferably something that wont make you "another idiot on the pile", but rather something that'll make you unique in the field.), you fill out the necessary paperwork, and you set up shop.
