Create a Plan

Like any other business, begin by creating a plan. Consider your pricing — how much you’ll buy and sell scrap metal and metal ingots for — and also think about your target market, based on your location. If you have lots of construction companies nearby, try to sign an exclusive deal or negotiate with them on future projects.

The next part in your plan is to consider expenses and to budget accordingly. Raise capital buy finding investors, putting in your savings, or taking out a loan. Equipment expenses are pricey, but also essential, so plan accordingly.

The Importance of Coming up with a Name

Make sure you have also come up with a name. Without a business name, you will have a hard time pitching your business and it’ll be impossible to obtain loans and register your business.

At this point, you need to register your business and obtain all the necessary licenses. The process for doing this depends on where you live, so do some research at your local library or city clerk’s office.

The Final Steps

Now that you have registered your business and obtained licenses, you can now get insurance. Safeguard your equipment and cover liabilities to reduce the risk of injury and business slowdown.

The last step is to buy tools and equipment. Purchase company vehicles for transporting scrap, a storage building, tools, wire granulators, industrial magnets, and more depending on your business focus.

Everything should now be in order, and you can finally begin obtaining scrap metal and generating income. Good luck on your future business endeavors!
