how to run your own courier service

Courier services are one of those businesses
that have been available in the capital city
for years. Rushing urgent documents and
packages around is a major service there. In
fact, a multi-million pound business just in
one city alone.


However, out in the provincial areas of the
country it's not that easy to find a courier
service. They do exist, but they are quite
rare and when they do exist, quite busy.


Hence, potential to start in most areas.
Even some of our largest cities require more
courier services, and there are certainly
plenty of towns. Of course, in country areas
there won't be a lot of demand, but it's
still a service that could be added on to
something else.


A courier service is effectively a taxi
service for important documents and packages.
But the interesting thing is that it's far
less regulated than taxis. You don't need
any sort of licence or consent.
