Exactly. All I need is a USB key full of diagnostic software. Which I already have since my family insists on buying cheap, flaky hardware! I've had too much practice already.AAAgent said:sounds like a great business idea if its a something part time. Just give out your cell phone number, post some ad's in the newspaper, market through friends, family, etc. Print flyers and post them in local shops and see how it goes. Worse thing to happen is you lose a few bucks advertising. you don't need to rent space or really buy equipment, no employee's, basically you have no overhead and don't need to manage much except your clients.
Yeah, true. I'm thinking self-employment with a potential to be a business later.STR8UP said:Keep in mind that you aren't really talking about a "business", it's "self employment".
I used to fix computers for a living and I'd really encourage you to learn how to troubleshoot and fix hardware too. If you have good working knowledge of software, hardware, and networking you'll be able to diagnose almost anything. What you'll find is as long as you don't have to order parts, you'll make a good amount of money.Alle_Gory said:Exactly. All I need is a USB key full of diagnostic software.

And a website helps.
What I'm interested in:
I would be charging for consultation. $15-20 just to look at the problem. Gas and travel is pricey. Good idea?
What happens if someone does not want to pay?
Self employment can still be considered a business. Its called a sole proprietorship.STR8UP said:Keep in mind that you aren't really talking about a "business", it's "self employment".
I'm not saying that working for yourself isn't better than working for someone else cause hands down it IS, but if your income is 100% dependent upon your active involvement it is more of a job than a business, and it can be tough at times because as the owner you not only have to deal with tasks at hand but you also have to worry about the money, the books, taxes, etc.
Go for it....just understand what you are getting yourself into.
THANK YOU!!dbot said:I started a company a couple years ago. Internet service fullfilment. Incorporate right away. If your company is mobile or virtual, go for a Nevada S-Corp or LLC, and you won't have to pay taxes. Never do business under your own name, unless you want to get sued and lose your personal assets. I learned this the hard way.
Don't get confused here.Julian said:Self employment can still be considered a business. Its called a sole proprietorship.

This is the kind of stuff I'm looking for. What is a Nevada S-Corp? I'm in Canada, so if you know what category of business it is maybe we have the same thing here.
Also, what about other liabilities. Let's say I mess up someone's computer, or it breaks through no fault of my own and the customer goes ape-****.
I know, but the systems are very close. The advice is still useful.AAAgent said:since your in canada, canadian laws differ from u.s.
