When you get the green light, it's time to start planning.


Define Your Service


Your first step is to decide what moving service you'd like to offer. Besides physically moving the client's belongings, you can add additional services. For example, you can clean the old and new property before and after the move, pack and unpack for the client, offer storage solutions, or assist with disconnecting and reconnecting appliances. Also, consider how far you will move loads and the size of the loads.


Get Your Paperwork in Order


Once you've outlined your service, you must develop a business plan. It's your road map and highlights each step in your journey. For example, you must register your business and follow the legal steps and state requirements. A business plan outlines the paperwork that must be completed and how to do it.


Finally, when you've established the paperwork, hired your crew, and purchased your vehicles, it's time to market your business. Marketing exposes your company to clients and helps build a client base while building revenue.
