The $148,000 StartFigures base allocation funds two mobile residential employee crews, two purchased used vehicles, four cleaner employees and a paid working owner in the United States. The company sells scoped completed visits; its six-visit base day is the upper funded workload. Launch depends on acceptable local prices and timed routes covering the full paid roster, with a dated cash plan for the booking ramp.

The $95,000 StartFigures base allocation stages a U.S. residential home-inspection practice with a paid owner-inspector, one employee inspector and administrative capacity at maturity. Three daily inspections are a practice-wide target for completed fieldwork, delivered reports and collection, rather than three appointments per inspector. Hiring depends on booking density, report turnaround, quality review and cash. The defined visual scope includes pre-purchase, pre-listing and permitted new-construction or phase inspections. Appraisal, code enforcement, engineering, pest and environmental testing remain excluded unless separately credentialed, insured and modeled.

This U.S. residential plumbing service uses one used service van, a licensed working owner and one paid helper. It diagnoses and repairs accessible household water and waste systems, replaces ordinary fixtures and performs limited drain work within verified licensing, insurance and equipment limits. One collected job is a completed diagnostic-only outcome or approved repair/install outcome, including its associated visits. New construction, whole-house repiping, sewer excavation or entry, root removal, gas work, HVAC, complex commercial systems, memberships and guaranteed round-the-clock response are outside the case. The owner remains responsible for triage, technical work, supervision, estimates, scheduling and quality. The helper is assigned selected route days and handling tasks, including paid travel, rather than every job; remaining calls must be safely executable by the owner alone.

The $128,000 StartFigures base allocation funds two compact U.S. residential pool-service routes with a paid working owner-manager, one employee technician and two used vehicles. The mature case bills 140 active accounts at $210 retained monthly and schedules 28 routine visits per field day across both routes. Paid loading, chemical handling, travel, access, records and owner administration must fit alongside the stops. Routine cleaning, water testing, ordinary chemical balance and equipment observation are included; construction, resurfacing, structural work and major repairs are excluded.

The $75,000 StartFigures base allocation funds one U.S. lawn and landscape maintenance crew, a truck and trailer, equipment and opening reserve. Three paid field roles include the working owner. The $110 maintenance visit and ten completed property visits per day assume a compact route and a mild-climate or mixed-maintenance calendar. A seasonal or scattered route needs a different paid-work and winter cash case before equipment is committed.

The $155,000 StartFigures base allocation stages a U.S. residential general-household pest and rodent service from one owner route to two used route vehicles and a paid operator-owner plus one technician at maturity. Five hundred active recurring accounts at an authored $55 retained monthly fee fund four routine visits per year; response and initial work use additional paid capacity. Certification, category, supervision, product labels, storage and records remain specific to the jurisdiction and service. Termite work, fumigation, wildlife control, lawn and ornamental applications and other categories stay excluded unless separately authorized, insured and modeled.

The $98,000 StartFigures base allocation funds one mobile U.S. residential and light-commercial pressure-washing route with a paid working owner, one employee technician, a hot-water trailer, soft-wash capability and job-specific wastewater controls. Two completed customer jobs per day are the mature route-wide target. Water fills, containment, recovery, disposal, travel and nonbillable quoting must fit the same paid two-person schedule. Roof work, industrial hydroblasting, hazardous remediation and fixed-location vehicle washing remain excluded.

The $170,000 StartFigures base allocation stages a U.S. residential garage-door service with a paid owner-manager and lead technician, one employee technician and two used vans at maturity. Four completed and collected jobs are the company-wide target, including diagnostic or minor-adjustment outcomes. The second van depends on qualified paid calls, first-time completion and cash. Spring, cable, roller, track and opener work remains within documented contractor authority, technical competence, product instructions and energy controls. Commercial and fire doors, gates, structural framing and new-construction electrical work remain excluded unless separately authorized, insured and modeled.

The $175,000 StartFigures base allocation funds a staged U.S. mobile household-appliance service with a paid owner-manager and lead technician, one employee technician and two used vans at maturity. The sales unit includes completed diagnostic-only calls as well as completed repairs; it is not every appointment or every van visit. Supported household washers, dryers, refrigerators, dishwashers and ranges stay within documented technical, manufacturer and regulatory authority. HVAC, commercial refrigeration, gas-line work and building wiring remain excluded unless separately authorized. Work that could release regulated refrigerants requires the applicable EPA Section 608 certification, equipment and procedures.

The $135,000 StartFigures base allocation stages a U.S. residential handyman company from one paid working owner and one van to one employee technician and a reserved second used van. The mature target is three completed and collected jobs across both workers per field day. The narrow menu covers small repairs, assembly, non-specialty installation and drywall or trim touch-ups within documented local authority. Covered paint disturbance in pre-1978 properties requires applicable EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting certification and lead-safe controls. Specialized or permitted work stays excluded unless separately authorized and contracted.

The $160,000 StartFigures base allocation funds a staged U.S. residential repaint contractor with a paid owner-estimator and field lead plus two painters at maturity. One organized crew targets one completed production-day equivalent per field day. Surface preparation, protection, access, drying, estimates and punch work must fit the same paid schedule. Work remains within documented local authority, product instructions and safety controls. Covered pre-1978 paint disturbance follows the applicable EPA or authorized-state RRP program. Abatement, asbestos, industrial coatings, high-rise access and structural repair remain excluded.

The $185,000 StartFigures base allocation funds one local nonhazardous household junk-removal vehicle system with a paid owner-manager and driver plus two crew members at maturity. Three completed and collected jobs per field day are the one-vehicle target. One customer job can involve a small pickup, part load or more than one receiving-facility trip; it is not automatically one full truckload. Each load needs an identified accepting donation, recycling, transfer or disposal destination. Hazardous, medical, asbestos, unknown chemical, regulated refrigerant and biohazard materials remain excluded.
