I am in the process of starting an Errand Service, however, while I am working on my business plan, making call after call to insurance companies for quotes, doing online research, etc., I am also thinking of doing something in the meantime until my business is offically a "business".

I was told by an insurance agent that he personally knows a woman who does grocery shopping for elderly. She didn't get insurance, just started by word-of-mouth, and basically goes to Giant Eagle about 10 times a week, then delivers groceries to the elderly, and gets paid for it.

What if I placed a notice at some local senior citizen complexes and centers, offering to do this same thing? I would not even have to enter someone's home or apartment, just pick up orders, deliver the goods to the door, and get paid.

Input?

Thanks :)
