What is a 'portable business?

What are some good business ideas for a portable welding business?

• Such as ac cages and fence but what else?

• Answer:

  This is not necessarily so. Anyone can set up a welding business – that is, anyone who knows how to use and wield a welding machine. If you are wondering how anyone can possibly make a living out of this type of work, then read further on. Construction sites and metal shops always use welding machines for obvious reasons. Some construction and metal companies even have their own welders and their own machines. But supposing a group of people from an ad company decides to set up a huge commercial platform in front of their building and they need it in steel; or your neighbor down the street has an errant garage door that needs to be cut open; or your kid is constructing a science project that needs to be literally welded shut – you don’t really go to a construction or a metal company and ask to borrow their welding machine, do you? Of course not. Sometimes, people actually rent welding machines for small projects and use the machines themselves. Unfortunately, this is a haphazard solution to the problem. Therefore, creating a business that allows the use of a portable welding machine with a skilled welder to boot is not only a feasible business venture, but a lucrative one at that. If you decide to take on this business, you’ll be surprised at how many people actually need your professional services. Setting up your business will of course entail you to acquire a welding machine. Make sure that it’s a portable machine: small, compact but sturdy enough that it doesn’t conk out on you when you are actually servicing for a client. A welding machine may come with different functions, so choosing one or more is a matter of knowing the demographic of your intended client base, and your personal skills as a welder. Machines function as stick welding, tig welding, wire welding and welding machines that are used for cutting like plasma arc cutting and gouging or PAC and air carbon cutting and gouging or CAC-A.
