Читать книгу Start & Run a Computer Repair Service - Lynn Spry - Страница 7

Computer businesses that typically repair systems as well as sell computers can survive in booming or busted economies. Because we own a business that can grow in any economy, while most businesses were feeling the pressure, we were expanding. We opened a second location and later that year also began giving back through our Computers for Soldiers program. Not bad for a business during a recession!

What’s even better about the computer business is that it has the opportunity to expand and grow depending on the services you offer. If you start getting business clients, you can grow your business to include maintenance plans and eventually handle the IT needs of businesses all over your area. Or, if you enjoy rebuilding machines, you can get into refurbished systems and sell online, in a retail store, or even become a wholesaler or recycler. In the computer business, there are so many ways to expand and grow that it is all up to you how you go about it!
