Just thinking out loud... I'm thinking about starting some type of small business. I have extensive auto body and mechanical experience with all types of cars, new and classic and I've been working for an insurance company managing direct repair body shops for the past 13 years. It's a job that I thought I could retire from but things have changed and the company is awful to work for. I was going to open a collision repair shop, but the more I run the numbers I'm not sure it's such a good idea in this economy. Anyway, I was trying to think of something I can do with fairly low start up costs that I can actually make money doing what I like. One thought was inspecting cars for potential buyers. So many cars trade owners over the internet and so many people get burned buying junk. Can it be done? I can even go as far at transporting in my enclosed car trailer. Any ideas/thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
