BUSINESS IDEA
Idea of the Week: Appliance Repair
Many people think you need a big shop or a fancy degree to start a business. But here is one of the easiest and most profitable small businesses today:
Appliance Repair Service.
Appliance repair is one of the simplest and most profitable small businesses you can start today. It does not require a big office or special degree. You can begin from home with only a few tools and basic training.
Why This Business Works
People use their appliances every single day. When something stops working, they need help fast. Most cities do not have enough repair technicians, so customers are willing to pay well for quick service.
This creates steady demand all year long.
How much can you Earn?
The income in this business is strong. Here is the basic idea:
A single repair job usually pays between $120 and $250.
Most jobs take 30 to 60 minutes.
Doing five jobs a day can bring in $600 to $1,200.
Many small repair businesses make $10,000+ per month.
Once you learn a few common repairs, the earning potential is very high.
How to Grow This Into a Real Business
Once you get steady work, you can scale:
Charge a small “diagnosis fee” for visits
Partner with OEM brands like LG, Whirlpool, to become service partners
Add a markup on parts
Work with property managers and landlords
Hire another technician when demand increases
This is how many small repair startups turn into full companies with recurring income.

Wall Street Isn’t Warning You, But This Chart Might
Vanguard just projected public markets may return only 5% annually over the next decade. In a 2024 report, Goldman Sachs forecasted the S&P 500 may return just 3% annually for the same time frame—stats that put current valuations in the 7th percentile of history.
Translation? The gains we’ve seen over the past few years might not continue for quite a while.
Meanwhile, another asset class—almost entirely uncorrelated to the S&P 500 historically—has overall outpaced it for decades (1995-2024), according to Masterworks data.
Masterworks lets everyday investors invest in shares of multimillion-dollar artworks by legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso.
And they’re not just buying. They’re exiting—with net annualized returns like 17.6%, 17.8%, and 21.5% among their 23 sales.*
Wall Street won’t talk about this. But the wealthy already are. Shares in new offerings can sell quickly but…
