Most of the products we use every day have been designed, created or manufactured by people who one day decided that they would be their own bosses, who would make their ideas come true and even give their lives for it. Starting a delivery business is not easy; it requires sacrifice, patience and most of all, work. But it is not impossible because the key element and the most important thing is the impulse that must come from within, the one that makes someone say “I’m going to do something I want, and I’m going to make it important”.

Make a plan
To start a delivery business you first have to write down how it is going to be done, who is going to be involved, how it is going to be financed and what it is being used for. You can create a company with love and desire, but that will not produce the necessary profits to keep it afloat. You have to have a clear vision about the objectives that the business will have and not stop pursuing them. If your goal is to start a small food delivery company. This particular project is very good for people who are good in the kitchen and like to do it in large quantities as it allows you to get many customers especially for what is lunchtime in office centers, for example. These could even become regular customers for the weekdays which even allows the cook the facility to engage in this trade only on weekdays.
Shaping your company and premises
There are huge amounts of business advisors available on the internet and in the market. You can hire friends and family, read books and research more about the product or service you plan to distribute. There are many legal and economic aspects that would not occur to someone who does not have experience in the subject; it is good to get expert advice so that you can have a solid foundation and not fall into problems that could have been easily avoided. You will have to plan if you will do business in a local or an informal place (as it is only delivery) or if you will need a space to offer customer service, some drinks and even a couple of tables to get some customers in the place. If you decide to use the second option, you will have to register your business and pay a rent for the premises, which can take between 1 and 2 months to set up everything and get the space. The expense will depend, of course, on the city where you live, however, the price of that rent will have to be multiplied by three due to the deposit, the payment in advance of the first month and the second month.
Surround yourself with good people
A capable and hard-working employee reduces losses in equipment, material and human resources and maximizes profits. It is important to achieve an exceptional team and to instruct them in the vision and objective of the company. Each part of a complex machine must do its corresponding job; if all of them work perfectly, the machine will not be damaged and will work optimally. For a food start up you should hire -unless you are a specialist in this- a good cook. Not only someone who cooks well, with pleasant taste and quality, but someone who can work under pressure and knows how to “save” resources without sacrificing quality. Keep in mind that you will have to save at least 3 monthly salaries of the person before hiring them to avoid looking bad if the business does not go well.
