Q. Are we environmentally responsible and can I do this from home?
|
|
| |
A. Yes, the environment is one of the big winners with this type of business because we are recycling and extending the useful life of batteries that would normally end up being discarded. Our process does not entail removing electrolyte from batteries or actual dismantling of batteries so, in no way are we creating a problem for the environment with acid or lead contamination. The business has been adapted to be able to operate from a home based workshop or garage. (Subject to local and federal legislation).

Q. What hours do I have to work?
|
|
| |
A. You can earn a substantial living part time, in conjunction with your current career path and of course, like other businesses, the more time you spend, the more money you earn. However, acting as a manager and employing one or two other battery reconditioning specialists can leave you lots of free time as your contractors/employees grow the business for you.
