Startup cost: $200 - $3k

Setup costs for a Furniture Flipping Business typically range from $200 to $3,000. At the low end, the bare minimum would cover basic supplies like sandpaper, paint, brushes, and minor repair tools. On the high end, investing in quality tools, paint sprayers, a website for online sales, transportation for picking up and delivering furniture, and marketing expenses can contribute to the higher cost. Essential expenses include materials for refurbishing furniture and transportation for sourcing and delivering items. Optional expenses may include setting up an online store, investing in social media advertising, or joining furniture flipping workshops for skills improvement. People often mention that while starting costs can be kept low initially, they may increase over time as the business grows. If a friend wanted to take this seriously, I would recommend budgeting around $1,000 to $1,500 to cover initial setup and essential expenses.
