Who it's for
Patient, technically confident U.S. adults who want a local, low-capital service business and are comfortable working inside strangers’ homes — explaining settings slowly, respecting privacy, and declining jobs outside a written scope. It fits first-time founders in a city or metro area with a density of older adults. It does not fit anyone seeking a remote-only side hustle, a repair shop with bench work, or a fast path to managing employees.
About this playbook
This guide takes a technically confident beginner from a raw idea to a working senior-tech house-call business: first proof that people nearby will pay, then fixed packages, prices, and a break-even model, then registration, insurance, safety procedures, and the first ten paid visits. Every phase ends with something you can point at — interview notes, a price list, a filed LLC, a certificate of insurance, a visit log. The path is built around a hard rule: no significant spending until the demand tests pass, and a pre-agreed stop decision at day 90. It does not cover component-level repair, data recovery, or any financial, tax, legal, or medical help for clients, and it stops short of hiring staff beyond the decision framework.
