computer system servicing  Repair service companies often require that their techs have college degrees in computer science, but someone who wants to fix computers from home can launch a business with knowledge and experience in cleaning, repairing, or replacing hardware and software. Here are the steps to getting started.

• Decide what and how you'll offer your computer repair service. Will you include computer setup along with repair services? Will you go to clients' homes? 
• Set up a workspace that has the tools and equipment you need to work efficiently. 
• Write a business plan and marketing plan, outlining all the details of your business and how you'll attract customers. 
• Decide on your business structure and a business name. Once you have those, you can obtain your business license, if required in your area. You'll also want to open a business bank account.
• Obtain business insurance.
• Buy or create marketing materials such as business cards, flyers, and brochures.

• Research and build solid relationships with software and hardware vendors for affordable resources needed in providing your service.
• Keep up-to-date on trends in hardware, software, new threats, and other issues related to computer maintenance.

It's a stable, in-demand service. Personal computers aren’t going anywhere. People of all ages and experience levels have computers they rely on for entertainment, banking, connecting with others, and more. Unfortunately, there is also a constant threat of viruses and other issues, especially for those who use their computer to go online. This creates a steady pool of clients.
