Learn the business from the inside. Work for an A/C compressor rebuilding business for at least five years before considering starting your own business. Examine the competition in the location you want to enter as a new A/C rebuilding business. This industry is extremely competitive with many companies and many more technicians. Write a business plan that outlines your intention to use your experience to start your business and carry it into the future. Consider the local competition in your business plan as well as the local industry trends. Take your business plan to your bank to seek funding. Purchase tools, parts and equipment needed to run a successful A/C rebuilding business. Purchase a truck that can carry everything to your job sites. Locks and alarms on your truck will keep your equipment safe and reduce your insurance rates. Make arrangements with a local recycler to accept your hazardous materials. Compressors use coolant that is hazardous to the environment. These chemicals must be properly handled at all times. Obtain a business license from your local county clerk’s office. Ask the clerk if your county or state require a special license to handle compressors or other hazardous materials. Purchase a hazardous materials license if one is required. Buy liability insurance to cover any accidental losses. Advertise your A/C compressor rebuilding business in the local Yellow Pages, through a company website and in your local newspaper. Meet with local A/C retailers and talk to the manager of each retailer about doing repairs for his company as well as being referred to his post warranty customers. Writer Bio
