Startup cost: $500 - $5k

The low-end estimate covers basic tools like a hammer, screwdriver set, tape measure, and a few essential power tools like a drill. It also includes a small budget for initial inventory or materials, and basic marketing through free social media platforms. The high-end estimate includes a comprehensive set of power tools, safety equipment, a professional website, paid advertising, and a larger inventory. Hidden costs might include insurance, unexpected tool replacements, or additional marketing expenses. Online communities often mention that while starting costs can be low, expenses can increase as the business grows and more tools or marketing efforts are needed.
