Versus artificial intelligence

AI can't do it

This business needs physical work and being on site. AI and software can't do it for you; automation risk is low.

Basic feasibility

No figures: costs and income vary by country and city. This assessment is based on the business requirements and on the places where Startiva suggests it.

Ease of starting

Moderate

Calculated from the capital, vehicle and licences it requires.

Initial investment

Low capital: basic equipment and a small initial stock or materials.

Cost items

  • Vehicle (Commercial vehicle): renting or buying second-hand at first lowers the investment.
  • A course or professional certificate.
  • Portable equipment and travel costs to customers.
  • Platform commission.

How the income comes in

Customers come through a platform, which collects payment and pays you minus its commission.
