💩 Why it's ugly

The inventory is holiday bins, golf clubs, strollers, and optimism in cardboard form. The work is scheduling pickups, labeling boxes, and returning someone's air fryer before Thanksgiving.

💰 Why it prints money

Apartment residents lack space but do not want to rent a full storage unit across town. Valet storage typically charges $25–$150/month per customer based on bin count or item size. Buildings like it because it adds an amenity without building new closets.

🗺️ The launch playbook 🔒

First 30 days

Register the entity and get the basic insurance sorted before anything else. Call the three biggest local operators and ask what they refuse to do — that refusal list is your launch menu. Price the first ten jobs deliberately low to collect reviews, then raise rates fifteen percent.

Days 31–60

Buy the used equipment, not the new one. The route density is what makes this profitable, so cluster your first customers within a twenty minute radius and decline anything outside it.

This is the part that makes money.
