If you already have a vehicle and a cell phone, there’s a good chance you can get your business up and running for less than $500.

One of the greatest advantages of starting a home-based courier business is the little investment needed to begin. Virtually all you need is a reliable vehicle and a cell phone.

A courier service’s clients are primarily other businesses, which means the majority of clients employ couriers between the hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

If you are working during these times, you will need to fill the niche of providing after hours delivery services. This can be a lucrative part of the market, but your potential client base may be smaller to begin with.
