Most people think of hanging Christmas lights as a low paying, low potential, grunt work job, and therefore they never give it a closer look. But, in reality installing lights and decorations is a highly profitable, low overhead, easy to start and run business.
Let’s take a look at what makes holiday lighting such a great business to start:

-Low Startup Cost – You can literally get your business up and running for $2500.00 or less.

-High Demand for Services – Peoples lives continue to become more busy and hectic on a daily basis, and they just don’t have time to install their own lights, therefore they pay to have them installed, even people who do have time to hang their own lights often would rather pay to have them professionally installed.
