START SMALL. EARN YOUR WAY THERE.

A business to fund the business.

Start with furniture assembly services using tools you already own. At an assumed $100 fee and $25 in travel and supplies, 16 jobs contribute $1,200 toward the initial collection. Validate job duration and demand first.

Your first moves.

01 · Choose a signature style

Create a reference board and interview five potential buyers about style, space, and budget.

02 · Source one practice piece

Check structure, materials, and repair complexity. Avoid pieces with unsafe coatings or hidden damage.

03 · Fund your first collection

Offer furniture assembly locally. Set aside the net proceeds after supplies and transport.

04 · Photograph and list the pilot

Show dimensions, material, finish, condition, and pickup details. Price with your labor included.

05 · Build a repeatable collection

Measure time and material costs for each piece. Reinvest only after your first paid sales.
