Running The Business Is Simple.
“It’s a pretty simple business. You buy something for a certain price and hopefully sell it for more. Then you make the deliveries. It’s not really complicated. You have a lot of customers. More than 50% of it is cash on delivery payment, so you don’t have a lot of money tied up in receivables. The business opens at 8 and shuts down at 5:30. You may have some things to do after hours as the owner, like payroll, but you can develop a pretty reliable routine.”
