Startup costs are typically estimated at around $1,500 to $4,500, depending on your portable chair or table, supplies, insurance and any training you still need. Treat this as an estimate and price your own kit and cover before you commit.

Monthly revenue is typically estimated at around $600 to $3,500, depending on how many hours you work, how far you travel between clients and how many bookings you win from homes, offices and residences. A minimum of about 8 hours a week is estimated.

Check that you have commercial general liability insurance, and whether clients such as residences or employers want proof of cover. Also check whether your municipality requires a business licence for mobile services, and GST/HST registration once revenue passes the small supplier threshold. Avoid medical claims.
