How do i get started in a custom bike business?
Answer:
It is a business that you can start by renting a small warehouse , 3-4 motorcycle lifts/tables/ , tools , and fabricating equipment and you are all set to go . Insurance , licenses, and office and then you are all set to go . Probably do it for under $100,000.00 easy and then as business grows buy more equipment and maybe put a paint booth in so you do not have to contract it out . Good luck and emphasize good service also as people will come to you to tune , winterize, and summerize their bikes year after year .

Spokey Dokeys are the key.
You would want to firt find a great location where the population and traffic is high. Check retail stores during the day and see if there are plenty of shoppers in the lots. Once the location is set you can apply for a loan and insurance and start buying supplies and you can get your stock from hundreds of places. Compare pricing plans and shipping costs as well.
knowing a lot about your product helps
proper location is next
proper financing
realistic expectations
