Codie Sanchez breaks down six businesses you can start for under $200K: trailer rentals, coffee carts, gutter cleaning, bookkeeping, trash-bin cleaning, and window cleaning. She pushes recurring revenue and commercial clients over retail, and shows how to layer add-on services once you land a contract.
Trailer rentals. I know three guys worth $10 million just by starting in the trailer rental business. Coffee carts could be great, but location, location, location. Gutter cleaning. I would use this just to get into the customers and then I would add additional services on top of it. Retail shops just don't do it for the love, that's all that's holy. Just don't start a retail shop. It's a terrible way to make any money. Bookkeeping Recurring revenue needed by all businesses. Commercial client need, not a want. So so it's a painkiller, not a vitamin. Trash bin cleaning. Really fantastic if you have commercial contracts and you're doing it consistently over time. Window cleaning we know multiple people, 100 people, by the way, that all have businesses doing six figures in window cleaning.
