YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE HUGE PROFITS - FULL OR PART-TIME.
Here's a great do-it-your-self business that you can start on a shoestring. You can be independent. Call your own shots. Work whenever you want to. And earn a good income.
Too good to be true? Don't take my word for it. Leading magazines like Mother Earth News, Entrepreneur and Successful Small Business Opportunities have called chimney sweeping "one of the best small businesses in America". Why? Because chimney sweeps are providing a vital and necessary service to protect the home. Everybody who has a chimney needs a sweep. That's because every fuel wood, coal. has. oil - as it burns leaves behind soot and/or creosote in the chimney. This residue is really unburned fuel and it is highly flammable. As it builds up in the flue, it is like a time bomb waiting to go off! Every year thousands of chimneys catch fire and the results are often tragic: Millions of dollars in property damage and the incalculable loss of human life.
The only way to avoid a disastrous fire is to clean your chimney on a regular basis. Now, what's the potential for a chimney sweep? Here are the numbers: There are a hundred million chimneys in America. There are fewer than 8,000 chimney sweeps. Not nearly enough to do the job. The fact is that chimney sweeping had become a lost art. August West saw the need twenty-seven years ago for reviving this ancient and honorable trade and began recruiting and training new sweeps.
The August West Chimney Sweeping System is the state of the art top end equipment developed for the professional Chimney Sweep.
I purchased this system a couple of years ago because I knew it was a great opportunity to start a business that very few people were in and where there is a great demand for the service. After receiving the system and started to market it, I suffered a heart attack and had to undergo bypass surgery. That pretty much ended my idea of starting this business. The equipment is still in the original boxes and they have never been used. I also added some extra equipment that didn't come with the system like air duct cleaning tools, chimney cap, creosote removing chemicals, etc. I spent about $7,000. for everything.
