Moving house is very stressful. It can be as stressful as going through a divorce and if the house move is as a result of a relationship breakup then the stress can be off the scale. Yet, if you are like most people, you have to do the bulk of the work yourself while still working at your job, looking after the kids and dealing with whatever ongoing demands and problems you must face in your daily life. Larger removal companies that might provide a packing service are very expensive and lack the personal touch most of us desire. People are always moving house, they are always getting stressed by the process and there is often a lack of available help to facilitate the move and reduce stress.
Why is this so important? These facts are very important because they reveal a big unmet need in the real estate and personal care markets. If you are unemployed, need to augment your income or are looking for a small business idea, helping people to organize their homes for moving and smoothing the whole process for people may well be the answer you are looking for. You would be providing what many people would feel is an essential service and could include aspects such as providing boxes, packing and marking boxes, getting quotes and organising the removalist, and anything else you choose to negotiate with the client.
You can charge upfront for the boxes, packing paper and bubble-wrap and a daily rate for your time. For example, if you charged fifty pounds a day for your time you would receive a decent income while at the same time offering the client a competitive rate. Furthermore, if you do a good job you would quickly get work from word-of-mouth recommendations saving time and money in advertising expenses.
The very nature of this business guarantees that you will not be short of work. Initially, you could advertise your services through local real estate agents as well as placing advertisements in local newspapers. As well as packing, focus on the organisational aspects of your service. Be willing to collect keys, wait for the removalist and deliver paperwork if necessary.
This service could well be an answer to your financial needs while at the same time being the answer to someone else's stress which makes it even more rewarding. So if you want a sure-fire business that people are already waiting for and which can get off the ground quickly, then pick up your phone and start advertising yourself.
