Comment on Is a home tech company still a viable idea?

Comments

It depends on what exactly you're asking, and what your goals are.

Is the question: Can I earn a living wage for myself by selling my skills around setting up hardware and software for end-users?

or is the question: Can I start a company that I can grow upwards of 10+ people by providing home and small business hardware and software support?

or is the question something else?

Ultimately, the answer is "probably yes". Hardware and software is complicated. Not everyone knows everything they need. When this happens, people are typically willing to pay for qualified help.

The specific economics of this come down to the market and your costs.

Tim,

Thank you for replying. I suppose "yes" and "yes" is the best answer to your questions.
