There are loads of great opportunities out there, with several routes that can be taken for a start-up. We currently live in a world where the courier business is growing rapidly, balanced by both large international logistics companies as well as small businesses.

It is an incredibly cost-effective route to take, you only need a van and a desire to promote yourself and you could be delivering goods in no time. When it comes to courier services, people treat it like your favourite restaurant; if it doesn’t meet your expectations, you look elsewhere. This is one of the reasons why it will always be a great opportunity so long as the market remains as customer led as it is.

It is invaluable to already have experience in the industry as there isn’t anything that compares to first-hand experience. You can research all you like, but if you haven’t already experienced the industry and its requirements, then you will likely struggle a lot more.

If you don’t already have this experience, then it is certainly important to look for a job in delivery logistics, whether it is part time or full time. It isn’t absolutely impossible to create the business without this knowledge; however, it is very risky and will likely increase your chances of failure.

To increase chances of success, it is important to find an appropriate niche that you feel comfortable with, where you can innovate without being over your head. One thing to always think about when it comes to becoming an entrepreneur is to find a unique selling point (USP).

A USP is essential to distinguish you from your competition and will enhance your position within your niche. Having a great USP within a strong niche is the recipe for a successful company in any industry. This is the brilliant thing about starting a courier service, there are so many niches within the industry that you can pick and choose and easily identify one that is fully suited to you.

Above all, starting a courier service allows you to connect with people. You are able to have a close relationship to your customers, which is important for both parties. Not to mention the fact that you are performing one of the most essential services that exist in the modern world.
