Hi, I am planning to buy a 2013 Ford Transit Connect Cargo XL Van to start a delivery business since it’s the only van I can afford right now. Is it a good time to jump in, and what should I do before buying the van to avoid wasting time and start working immediately?
Thank you!

I am currently reviewing what other people do. So i got apps where I can get orders like uber freight and go share. I know that I could sign contracts with local companies to make deliveries.

If you can afford the vehicle outright and afford to lose 100% of your investment, go for it

Just be ready to make less than minimum wage after expenses, until you find a niche that pays

(of course you already have the insurance sorted out right? If the "apps" don't cover you, totally possible you'll get a no from insurance with no prev experience)
