Unique businesses

The service industry is one of the largest growth sectors in the USA. Don't overlook developing a business that caters to providing a service. Technical repair of expensive equipment can be a lucrative business. Most home electronics have become so inexpensive that most people don't bother with getting them repaired but industry electronics is another story. The great majority of industrial equipment is run by computers and robotics. Not every company can afford to have a full technical maintenance crew. Often they will have a mechanical maintenance crew and hire a contractor for technical work as needed. If you plan on going into that line of work or have a background that will allow you to start your own service business you will need to look into equipment for your business such as high tech workbenches, test equipment, lighting and a static free work area. The most likely source of your business will be word of mouth, since networking in the electronics field is worth more than gold.
