Building a Print Business without Bricks

Johnny Hawes is right on in terms of the advantages of print brokering and benefits of starting a business with very little overhead.

If you don’t have the large amount of funds that are required to start a brick and mortar printing business, consider starting a print brokering business in your home. This type of business requires very little capital and is well suited for a home based business. Any business, regardless of its size, needs printed pieces of all kinds. This includes such things as business cards, letterhead, envelopes, forms, pamphlets, sales sheets, presentation folders, labels, promotional products and much more. – Johnny Hawes, All About Small Business

In rapidly changing technology, opening any print business that requires equipment, whether a franchise or independent operation, is not a profitable move. Brokering and distributorship are becoming more acceptable within middle market and major accounts who rely on a sales person to call on them directly. With reduced overhead and a network of preferred suppliers, brokers have the benefit of offering competitive pricing that will beat out quick printing shops.
