Towing, Kenneth worked as a Journeyman Machinist and welder. When the shop he’d worked for went out of business, he took the opportunity to become his own boss and bought his first tow truck. He added the second just before the start of the pandemic, and has continued to grow over the past 2 years despite those added challenges. Today, Kenneth shares his advice for how to start a tow truck business from the ground up. We’ll find out how much it costs to start a tow truck company and what kind of equipment you need before you start. Along with towing, his company offers roadside assistance and transportation services for customers, and Kenneth will share why it helps a tow truck business to include these options, and what systems and supplies you need to do so. Rather than start with a business loan, Kenneth leveraged his personal credit to get started with a lease-to-own truck. We’ll hear why that was the best option for him, and other tips for starting a towing business with little to no money. He’ll also share how he connected with his first customers and established his reputation for quality service in the Tacoma area. As a 24/7 business, K.O. Towing needs reliable employees to function smoothly. We’ll find out how he hires and manages his staff to maintain consistent service quality. 💥 Most New Businesses Fail From Guessing 💥 UpFlip Accelerator gives you the system to launch faster and get clients sooner. 👉 https://www.upflip.com/accelerator Or start FREE with our quick-start trainings ↓ 🧽 How to start a $140k/month cleaning business - https://learn.upflip.com/cleaning-bus... 🥤 How to start a $50K/month vending business - https://learn.upflip.com/the-vending-... 🖌️ How to start a million-dollar painting business for under $1K - https://learn.upflip.com/how-to-start... 🚛 How to start a $10k/month moving and junk removal business - https://learn.upflip.com/moving-and-j... 🔑 How to start a $8K/month mid-term rental business - https://learn.upflip.com/the-mid-term... 🏠 How to make $248K in tax-free profit from building and selling homes - https://learn.upflip.com/the-builders... 🗺️ How to make $25K in one deal buying and selling land - https://learn.upflip.com/land-flippin...
