Venturing into the Uber cab business

Posted by John Smith on January 6th, 2016

The Uber business is thriving in most major cities across the globe. Not only is it attracting clients but it is also enticing new shareholders to take part in the business. As an Entrepreneur, or driver you are probably thinking “how can I jump into this business?).

To become an uber driver/ uber partner today, look through one of the many city/country specific posts on how to become an uber driver here.

As Uber partners and drivers orientation is not often mandated, except in some specific cities. As long as you go through the online signup process, you should be good to go.

Below are some questions you should probably ask yourself if you want to start an uber business:

  • How much do I want to earn? First, you will need to establish how much you want to earn. As an uber driver, you should keep in mind that you are not driving for fun. You are driving so that you make money, and ultimately make a profit.
  • What is a realistic profit goal for an Uber Business? As an uber partner that employs uber drivers only, you should also set realistic revenue and profit goals.
  • What type of car should I buy? You should decide what type of car you want. Will it be an uberx car or an Uber black car?
  • Will I drive, or just hire drivers? What type of Uber Partner will you be? Will you drive for yourself, or will you hire other drivers.
  • How should I hire drivers? Hiring the wrong driver can cause the loss of your most precious asset: your car.
  • How will I acquire my car(s)? Will it be via outright purchase? Leases? Rentals? Or car financing. This one decision can make the difference between making a profit and loss on a yearly basis.
