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
Hard
Calculated from the capital, vehicle and licences it requires.
Initial investment
Medium capital: equipment, first-month costs and possibly a small space.
Cost items
- Vehicle (Car): renting or buying second-hand at first lowers the investment.
- Licence and permit fees, plus the waiting time for approval.
- Portable equipment and travel costs to customers.
- Platform commission.
How the income comes in
