How It Works

From picking a business to your first sale, in five steps. Free, no account needed.

1. Pick a business

Browse the business plans and pick the one that fits your budget and interests. Each plan starts with the short version: startup cost, profit range and break-even time.

2. See the real costs

Every plan is built around real supplier listings with single-unit prices. We add freight, import duty and VAT so you see what the equipment costs once it is in Europe, not just the listing price.

3. Pick a business model

The same equipment can earn money in different ways: selling to customers, renting it out, or offering a service around it. Each plan shows several models with worked examples.

4. Run your own numbers

The profit calculator takes your prices, customer numbers and costs, and shows monthly revenue, profit and break-even. Open the 12-month projection to see how a slow start affects the result.

5. Follow the launch plan

A step-by-step plan with timelines and checklists takes you from research to your first sales. You can download it as a free Starter Kit PDF.

Where the numbers come from

Search volumes come from DataForSEO, prices from supplier listings, and duty rates from the EU tariff database. Each plan lists its sources and assumptions in a methodology section, and we update plans when prices change. Start with the business plans.
