In many area’s the cost of couriers is getting higher and higher, and while businesses don’t have the time to do deliveries or run some of their errands themselves they are forced to pay the high price of couriers to take something a relatively short distance.
Especially if you live or spend a lot of time in a busy area with a lot of businesses around there is bound to be more then a couple that need to get documents to another business or a few samples, or boxes to businesses that are not that far away but would take to much time out of their day to do so. This is where you can come in, with a better price then a courier and get it done more often then not in less time.
There are some business that would probably use this type of service more then others, firms that need to get documents to other places often, lawyers, real estate agents, and such that may need to get contracts back and forth. Also auto repairers, for smaller parts and many companies that may sell goods to a lot of businesses may find that it is economic to send long distance but to get something 1 or 2 km is very little difference in price. So a service like this will save money.
The key here is to price yourself so that you can make a good return on your time invested but not be an expensive option. So some market research is a good start. looking at what is being charged by couriers, and seeing what the potential need for your service may be.
