TO ALL NOTARY CAFE MEMBERS NEW TO THIS BUSINESS SECTOR:
There are myriad factors to consider when determining a business to launch. Those factors vary from region-to-region as well as from State-to-State. Many are contingent upon the laws, rules, regulations, etc. of a specific locality.
One must perform their own due diligence in determining IF THERE IS a good market to support a business.
It’s also truly contingent upon the saturation of professional signing agents [PSAs] in your Service Area.
As I often express, launching a business within this business sector isn’t a sprint ===>>> it’s a MARATHON!
.
Truly, launching a business within this business sector of the industry (like many entrepreneurial businesses) is a slog to get things going regarding SOs.
The YouTube videos hawking “it’s EASY PEASY to make $100K/year” has been debunked repeatedly . . .
Unfortunately, folks do still decide to “invest” in the used car salesman tactics of bait & switch! They tell you if you’re not receiving SOs to just launch a Signing Service & you’ll be living in a McMansion next week . . .
UGH!!
A few of us sages on the Notary Cafe forum have been expressing that a declining status within this business sector has been present for multiple years . . .
We have hope that those new to this business sector would heed the clarion call. Some have heeded it - others haven’t and decry the waste of their funds launching their business.
This is why we state it’s particularly egregious that those who lack scruples & morals are engaging in misleading and delusional marketing tactics ; i.e., falsely espousing 6-figure incomes, etc.
Anyone who is knowledgeable of this business sector has been cognizant for multiple years that the blatantly false 6-figure claim hasn’t been valid for a very long time.
