As the world has changed, so have many entrepreneurs.  With the limitation of in-store customers, businesses have taken to going on the road with a mobile business.

Having a mobile business has many perks:

  • No costs for a retail space
  • Less staffing
  • Flexibility in hours and location

If you find that an area is not working for your type of business, you can drive off to another location.

While you may save money with a mobile business, there are startup costs to consider, the most being the expense of a truck.  But finding your niche in the mobile business can offer rewards that are worth it.

Not just for food trucks anymore.  Here are some mobile business ideas:
