Why Start a Cell Phone Repair Business?
Cell phones are a very essential commodity that nearly every one owns.
This is because of the need to keep in touch with people and be abreast
with things. This is essentially one of the reasons why there has been the
emergence of various cell phone companies. These experts make sure that
they come up with the best technology options for all those who buy their
brand.

There are times when phones may begin to pose a challenge. Those who
already have gone to learn the ropes of how phones are repaired know the
importance of solving all phone problems. One of the ways which you are
able to learn how to repair phones is by going to a skill school where you
can learn the ropes as well as go to a business school where you can be
taught how to manage a business.

You will also need to come up with a very realistic business plan. Why is
this so, you may ask? This is essentially so because you will need draw up
all projection and plans that you have about your cell phone repair
business. it is okay if you want to have an expert business plan writer to
help out in that process. However, chances are that you will be required to
pay a huge fee for that service.

phone repair business plan to plan yours. One of the importance of using a
template to write yours is the fact that you will be able to get conversant
will all the technical areas that you might need to supply information

Here below is a sample Cell Phone Repair Business Plan;

A Sample Cell Phone Repair Business Plan Template


I ndus t r y Ov e r v i e w

Cell phones are used for several purposes; basically, people make use of
cell phone to keep in touch with their family members and friends and for
conducting their businesses et al. Some people have more than one cell
phone which are used for dierent purposes, such as for business and
personal use. Hence, the growing demand of cell phones has indeed open
up a protable business opportunity cum industry for aspiring
entrepreneurs all over the globe.

Basically, the cell phones repair services industry repairs, service and
maintains cell phones and tablets such as iPads or other similar
telecommunication cum electronic devices. Companies that operate in this
industry include physical cell phones repair stores (brick-and-mortar
stores) which allow customers to bring in their cell phones for repair and
virtual cell phones repair stores (online cell phones repair stores) which
allow customers to mail in devices that need repairs.

The Cell Phones Repair Services industry is an open industry hence a low
level of market share concentration. Even though large multiservice
agencies operate in the industry, revenue is also spread among thousands
of small rms and freelancers.

As a matter of fact, no single cell phones repair company can account for
more than 5.0 percent of the total revenue generated in the industry. This
is the reason why smaller cell phones repair business accounts for a large
percent of the players in the cell phones repair services industry.

The industry is still dominated by original equipment manufacturers


(OEMs), which are companies that have their own services centers where
customers can repair or replace the same products that they purchase
from them. In most cases, because of the warrantee that comes with the
cell phones or any devices manufactured by these companies, it is cheaper
for them to have their repair cum customer service centers in key cities
where they have high market concentration. Such centers could be
outsourced or fully managed by the manufacturing company.

Statistics has it that the Cell Phone Repair industry in the United States of
America, is worth $4bn, with an estimated growth rate of 1.7 percent.
There are about 8,117 legally registered cell phones repair businesses
scattered across the United States of America and they are responsible for
employing about 21,758 people.

No doubt everybody will quite agree that the cell phones repair services
industry has come to stay and of course it is one industry that plays key
roles not only in the business world, but also in almost all the aspect of
what goes around in our world today as long as cell phones are involved
and would need to be repaired, serviced or maintained.

Over and above, the cell phone repair service industry is very open to any
aspiring entrepreneur who has acquired the required trainings, skills and
perhaps professional certications to start his or her own cell phones
repair business can of course make good money from the industry.

As a new cell phones repair company in Los Angeles California, it might


take some time for our organization to break into the market and gain
acceptance especially from top prole clients in the already saturated and
highly competitive cell phones repair services industry; that is perhaps our

past decade as Smartphone and tablet usage has increased. With the rising
popularity of expensive but fragile smartphones, there is indeed a major
revenue boost for the industry.

small businesses are known to dominate the industry. There are a large
number of small companies and non employers in the industry
specializing in cell phone repair services that operate independently and

The industry concentration has remained very stable in the last ve years,
despite the fact that cell phone repair services are generally owned by

Cell Phone Repair Business Plan Financial Projections and Costing
In setting up any business, the amount or cost will depend on the
approach and scale you want to undertake. If you intend to go big by
renting a place, then you would need a good amount of capital as you

your facility is conducive enough for workers to be creative and productive.

This means that the start-up can either be low or high depending on your
goals, vision and aspirations for your business. Also we plan to work hard
so that we can give our clients the best low prices ever.

The tools and equipment that will be used are nearly the same cost
everywhere, and any dierence in prices would be minimal and can be
overlooked. As for the detailed cost analysis for starting a standard cell
phones repair and maintenance company; it might dier in other countries
due to the value of their money. However, this is what it would cost us to
setup Ariel Cell Phones Repair Shop, LLC in the United of America;

Business incorporating fees in the United States of America will cost


$750.
The budget for Liability insurance, permits and license will cost
$3,500
Acquiring an oce space or warehouse that will accommodate the
number of employees for at least 6 months (Re Construction of the
facility inclusive) will cost $100,000.

Amount need to pay bills and sta members for at least 2 to 3
months $70,000

Generat i ng Fundi ng / SSttart up Capi t al for Ari el Cel l Phones Repai r


Shop, LLC

Ariel Cell Phones Repair Shop, LLC is a business that will be owned and
managed by Engr. Donald Trump and his friend and business partner for
many years Kelvin Lindsay. They are the sole nancial of the business
which is why they decided to restrict the sourcing of the start up capital
for the business to just three major sources.

These are the areas we intend generating our start up capital;

Generate part of the start up capital from personal savings and sale
of his stocks
Generate part of the start up capital from friends and other
extended family members
Generate a larger chunk of the startup capital from the bank (loan
facility).

N. B: We have been able to generate about $100,000 (Personal savings


$70,000 and soft loan from family members $30,000) and we are at the
nal stages of obtaining a loan facility of $150,000 from our bank. All the
papers and document has been duly signed and submitted, the loan has

Expansion Strategy
The future of a business lies in the numbers of loyal customers that they
have the capacity and competence of the employees, their investment
strategy and the business structure. If all of these factors are missing from
a business (company), then it wont be too long before the business close
shop.

One of our major goals of starting Ariel Cell Phones Repair Shop, LLC is to
build a business that will survive o its own cash ow without the need for
injecting nance from external sources once the business is ocially
running. We know that one of the ways of gaining approval and winning
customers over is to oer our cell phone repair and maintenance services
a little bit cheaper than what is obtainable in the market and we are well
prepared to survive on lower prot margin for a while.
