Startup cost: $500 - $10k

Low-end estimate: This budget covers the bare essentials. You'd need a used pickup truck or trailer ($300-$400 for a rental or older model), basic tools like gloves and a dolly ($50), and initial marketing through free platforms like Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace ($0). This setup is for someone who wants to test the waters without a significant investment. High-end estimate: This budget includes a newer or more reliable truck ($5,000-$7,000), professional-grade tools and safety gear ($500), branding materials like business cards and a website ($500), and paid advertising on platforms like Google Ads or local newspapers ($1,000). It also accounts for insurance and permits ($1,000) and a small budget for unexpected expenses ($500). This setup is for someone committed to establishing a professional and scalable operation.
