f you are looking for a good small business idea, then learning to start an iPhone repair business might be a great idea for you. Now, start to think about how many of your friends have an Iphone or a touch? I know for me i’d say about 50% of my friends do. This is a business that has great potential right now, but you’ll need to act right now to get in on this trend. Fixing them isn’t very complex for someone who has a little technical knowledge and if you’re willing to buy a couple small tools and a few spare parts and do a little reading.
Since the launch of the new Iphone, there are a lot of the older generations available for cheap. Another angle might be to pick a few up on ebay and see if you can sell them locally. Remember, people are locked into long term contracts and still need to have their current phone fixed!
You should be able to find all kinds of details online on how to repair Iphones. There are a lot of sites out there that will give you info on them.
When I broke my iPhone and needed to get it repaired, I ended up finding what I consider a great example of a new start up idea. I found a repair place that offers 1 hour repair/sameday (if its more complex). This is the best!! Most places send your phone away to be repaired. People will pay a premium if they can get their phone working in less than a few days.
I would suggest first starting small and putting up a few free ads around your local area. Craigslist is always a good place to start for free ads and should help get you started.
