Does anybody have any thoughts on running an emergency locksmith business on the the back of a regular window cleaning round?
I'm thinking of it as more of a top up income really, say I get a phonecall, if the job and location suit then I drop the windows, jump in the van (accompanied by old skool batman music) and race off to unlock a door....hourly rate goes up and once I'm done I go back to the windows. If the job and location does not suit then I pass and they call the next number on yell.com.
Windows would be my bread and butter still but I would have the potential for higher earning jobs as and when they arrise without having to rely on the phone ringing.
I've room in my van for tools and stock, a rough idea of training required and a fair grasp of setup costs and advertising but its very much at the beer mat stage.....any more informed opinions much appreciated.
