    Hello from Georgia!

    Hello! I am a newbie to scrapping. I am going to be doing this part time......for now. I have this crazy dream to work for myself one day but for now i have a good paying shiftwork job that allows me to do it on the side. I have recycled some before but mostly because my wife told me to! Lol...Anyways, my original plan was to scrap just cars but after reading a few articles i feel i can do even better by processing any metal and escrap as well. My intention is to form an LLC and build a business. I will have many questions and look forward to learning from the pros.

    PROFIT is made when you BUY/ACQUIRE NOT when you sell

    Welcome to the forum. Go slow at first. The benefits of a LLC are very limited so make certain that it is worth the additional effort and paper work involved. Being a part time scrapper can be a great way to learn how to be a business owner. If you treat it as a business and not just a hobby then the lessons you will learn will be great. In addition to doing the work there it the fun of accounting for the income and expenses. Then the fun of insurance, local ordinances affecting you business in your location. Best of luck, Mike.

    Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked

    You can be a DBA (doing business as) or a sole proprietor. You can get insurance and permits as needed using these. Get some proper advise, CPA, lawyer, insurance agent. Keep at it. Mike
