Here’s the truth behind a very simple business opportunity – plenty of people need stuff towing, but don’t want to do it themselves. It could be a caravan, a trailer load of rubbish,  a car, a boat, a motor bike…even a mobile toilet! Towing needs  the right vehicle, special equipment, a bit of messing around and a certain amount of confidence that you’re not going to end up in a ditch or scraping a wall.

If you have a 4×4 and a tow bar, you could be in business. Your new freelance towing service could be marketed online, in the local press and by contacting caravan companies, boatyards and local councils directly. It’s a pretty simple business, but one that could yield plenty of repeat business once you’re up and running.
