It is all about the relationship.  Most of the time....it don't have nothing to do with how low you can go.  There are deal that are made behide closed door with companies and GM.  I hope you don't go try to take that account from the company you work for.....There are eyes and ears everywhere.  In this business (as a owner) we know what you are up too...sometime before you are up to it.  

 

Just to give you a head up what I have to do to get one high end account.....I brought a $6600 Rolex for the man in charge...He set me up as a vendor and we went on to grossing well over 20K a month.  

Out of the 20k per month how much would you say is profit? and where do the expenses go to? 

So I was tinting for a company for the past 3 years and my company tinted at dealerships. I guess as a third party vendor if thats what you call it. I recently quit that job and moved across the country and was planning on starting my own tint business since i know it pretty well now. At first I was going to just do mobile and retail shop but then decided to maybe go into dealerships. Because i know the dealership i was tinting for was bringing in roughly 20k per month just in tint after paying out to us employees. I was wondering if anyone knows what all is required to do this? Do i need any kind of vendor permits or just have an legal LLC and walk in and start pitching to dealerships my service? Any information on this topic would help!

And we tint on the dealer property

Thanks for the advice! And of course we wouldn't try and take over any accounts that we are currently in, we are fair guys and respect the business. We just want to do more of our own thing. We have few connections here and there. At first were thinking of starting a retail shop but starting thinking if we get into a dealship we'll have constant work and like you said gross around 20k a month which is about what the company that I work for does now.

So for the last year I've been tinting for a company who contracts with dealerships and does all their tinting on new cars. Me and the guy I work with were thinking of starting our own company and basically doing the same thing but actually owning it. Our company we work for makes a lot of money doing it and we want more of the action. Does anyone know the best way to approach this and where to start? And ideas or thoughts? Thanks!
