Drop servicing is a form of subcontracting. While you handle client relationships, you outsource the provision of actual services.


Whether they’re providing physical services like car repair or digital services like software development, service companies are everywhere. You probably use these businesses every day—whether you’re dropping your child off at daycare, booking a haircut, or working with a web designer to improve the layout of your ecommerce store.


Starting a traditional service business can be tricky. In addition to marketing your brand and securing a customer base, you’ll need to train employees (or yourself) to provide a top-notch service. But if you’ve got a knack for marketing and selling, you’re in luck: You can start a drop servicing company to forgo time-consuming training processes. 


Ahead, learn how drop servicing works and how you can go about starting your own drop servicing business.
