What it is

A small stall at weekend markets, or a kiosk or cart in a shopping centre, selling phone accessories and offering screen protector fitting while customers wait.

Your first three steps

  1. Visit local markets and centres to see who sells accessories, what they charge and what stall fees are
  2. Buy a starter range of cases, cables and protectors for the most common phone models, plus a table and display stand
  3. Book a trial at a weekend market and practise fitting protectors so you can do it quickly and cleanly
Who pays

Shoppers and passers-by who need a replacement charger, a new case or a screen protector fitted straight away.

How it makes money

Mark-up on accessories, plus a fitting fee or a higher price for screen protectors fitted on the spot.
