Thinking about starting a window tinting business?
If you have a passion for it, a window tinting business can be an extremely great option for starting your own business with a relatively low initial investment. Plan to spend about $10,000 to $20,000 initially to get a mobile tint business up and running and upwards of $30,000 to $50,000 if building out a physical facility.
Common startup costs include:
– Van and renovation
– Repair supplies
– Film inventory, tools, and supplies
– Branding materials, including a logo, website uniforms, and van signage / wrap
While a window tint business owner doesn’t need to have a business degree, certain skills and experiences can help make the business a success.
Experience installing window tint. A business owner who has experience installing window film will best relate to the customers and staff of the business. It also helps to know how to install tint to be able to help in busy times or if an employee calls in sick.
Networking talents. A tint business owner who is a skilled networker will be able to capitalize on relationships with car dealers, glass companies, contractors, etc potentially driving customer referrals and building the tint business’ customer base.
Customer service skills. Good phone and customer service skills can help a window film business owner to make a great first impression. Arriving at appointments on time is also important to building the business’ reputation.
