Startup cost: $500 - $5k

The low-end estimate covers essential costs like licensing fees ($200-$300), basic training courses ($100-$200), and minimal equipment such as a laptop and smartphone ($0 if already owned). The high-end estimate includes comprehensive training programs ($1,000-$2,000), advanced software for claims management ($500-$1,000), marketing expenses ($500), and professional-grade equipment like a high-quality camera and measuring tools ($500-$1,000). Hidden costs may include ongoing licensing renewals and software subscriptions. While some claim it's low-cost, expenses can increase with additional tools and marketing efforts. Budgeting for unexpected costs is advisable for those taking it seriously.
