Startup costs are typically around $2,000 to $10,000, depending on the brands you take on and how you set up. Because you order stock as needed, you avoid a big stock outlay at the start.

Monthly revenue is typically around $1,000 to $5,000, depending on how many customers you build relationships with and which machines you sell. These are estimates only, and the work can start at around 10 hours a week.

Check dealer agreements for exclusivity, minimum orders and who handles warranty claims. Also check your public and product liability cover, machine suitability and state rules for hazardous dusts such as silica or asbestos, GST registration, and council rules on storing stock at home.
