i am interested to start a courier company in my town and state to state in india. Is it profitable, if you have the details kindly tell me. menon

@Sasi, It is really good to know that you like this business idea and would like to start it. Why not start it from a low scale, you can plan a trip to your neighboring state and do some homework on it get the best deal to people. You can work on various things in advance to make the trip cheapest so that you will get the referrals in future to make your business more profitable. Remember the direct referrals works a lot so put together various things like which age group you wanna target on, what are the places they would like to visit, what kind of food they will prefer, how long they can afford to be on this trip, how many people you can gather for this trip, etc. Make some numbers to figure out more about it. Start it now.

hello. thank you for your article. I am writing to you in hope that you can provide direction for my courier company. I am on the verge of desperation. Due to the economy I have lost some of my biggest clients. Have gone from making six figures a year to $30,000. I was blessed to have inherited the company 3 years ago- but unfortunately never had to obtain clientele on my own. I am hoping that you can point me in the right direction to do so. I have hand delivered company info to many businesses in my area and in surrounding areas. I feel that there is a better and more successful way to grow my business and bring it back to what it once was. Thank you for the time that you took to read my concerns and thank you for the time you will take to respond!! With great respect, Amiee R. Tudor

How do I start a vibrant courier company in Nigeria? How can I get to represent a USA based courier company in Nigeria?

@MARK BRADLEY, If you want to build a partnership with a bigger company then you need to already have customers using your service otherwise it'll be hard to convince bigger companies that you have trade at all. First discover your customer base and then partner with large companies to grow your worldwide based client list.

I think the best answer to everyone is to search GOOGLE. I have found the best answers on there, just search for your specific question and there's always some good helping answers to get you started.
