On your shop ideas would you, could you try to value your customer's data files?
I know many that would value a shop that would save the customer's files. And you can fetch a premium for that.

Hello,
I am considering a startup repair business with computers. I have been working on computers personally for about 10 years. I have also worked at a local repair shop for about a year and both the manager and I do most of the daily operations there. I also got A+ certified this year... My question is, money wise... I know I would probably be going past my limits trying to open at my own shop at this point so I'm thinking of doing it from my house. The place I'm at is a duplex and quite small so I was considering pickup and dropoff in doing PC repairs until I could get a steady business going then moving it to a shop once I get a good flow of customers and income coming from it. I'm just wondering what the best advice you all could offer that would help this start on the right foot and eventually grow into something like that. Thanks for any suggestions.
