I read the entire excellent thread on starting a PC Support Business. The one thing I didn’t see covered was what sort of income one could realistically expect from such an operation. I’m trying to convince my wife that this is something worth investigating, but without any idea of how much money I could make, it’s an uphill battle.
I know this is extremely dependant on the specific situation, so here goes: We will be living in an area of about 500,000 people within easy driving distance. The population is highly educated, one of the top 5 technical industrial parks in the nation is nearby.
The clientele I would focus on would be home users, home businesses, and small offices.
Assuming I steadily but slowly build a client base over the course of two years, where could I expect to be at that time? I know the first few years will be tough but if the payoff is there it will be worth it.
I would really appreciate any sort of ballpark figures. If anybody would prefer emailing me privately instead of posting this info, you can reach me here: waybrig@yahoo.com
Thanks!
