Small Business Idea (Computer Repair)
I want to build computers and sell them to customers (Each order made to fit each customer's exact needs).
Goals:
Build a reliable computer cheaper than that of a computer of equivalent value sold by big-time manufacturers (Dell, HP etc.)
Make a small profit from each build, while still maintaining above goal (Somewhere between $15-$50)?
If successful, I might want to expand my business to troubleshooting and basic IT as well.
Questions:
Is this a business worth trying? There is minimal start-up money needed (I can start by spreading the business by word-of-mouth and on Facebook to my friends).
Could I potentially profit from each individual sale as stated above?
Legality: Is selling a custom built computer legal? Can I buy Windows 7 and Office and install both pieces of software on the computer before selling it?
Any tips and advice will be greatly appreciative. I am changing my major to CIT effective next fall, so this could potentially be a great venture.
