Fastener delivery to job sites and workshops

Builders, framers, roofers, renovation crews, small fabricators and maintenance teams who lose time and money collecting supplies.

You earn a margin on the fasteners plus a delivery fee or minimum order value. Standing weekly orders from regular crews give the steadiest income.

• Product knowledge of fasteners and their uses
• Reliable driving and route planning
• Building relationships with trades

• Commercial general liability and product liability insurance, plus commercial auto insurance for your delivery vehicle
• Check zoning and licensing for storing stock at a unit or at home with your municipality
• Check whether you need GST/HST registration and how provincial sales tax applies
• Heavy boxes, so plan for safe lifting and secure loading
• Winter driving and slower building activity in colder months, which can affect orders
• Check WCB/WSIB rules in your province before hiring help

Startup costs are typically estimated around $8,000 to $40,000, depending on your stock, vehicle and storage space. Monthly revenue is typically estimated around $3,000 to $15,000, depending on how many builders and workshops you serve and how often they order.

Check commercial general liability, product liability and commercial auto insurance. Check zoning and licensing for storing stock with your municipality, whether you need GST/HST registration and how provincial sales tax applies, and WCB or WSIB rules before hiring help.

Estimates start at around 20 hours a week. Boxes are heavy, so plan safe lifting and secure loading. Winter driving and slower building activity in colder months can affect orders.
