Unlike franchises, which can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, you can own this lucrative mobile business for the cost of a pickup truck. The total investment depends on your unique situation, but often falls between $50k (low end) and $116k (high end).  Since Dustless Blasting allows you to make more in an hour than most people make in a day, it truly **pays for itself in no time.** **[See the Total Investment](https://www.dustlessblasting.com/blog/total-investment)[Dustless Blasting vs Franchising](https://www.dustlessblasting.com/blog/your-true-costs-dustless-blasting-vs-franchising)** [![The total investment for a dustless blasting business](https://www.dustlessblasting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/The%20total%20investment%20cover%20image%20tilted.png?width=717&height=859&name=The%20total%20investment%20cover%20image%20tilted.png "The total investment for a dustless blasting business")](https://www.dustlessblasting.com/blog/total-investment) ## Equipment Choices When it comes to choosing equipment, there are multiple choices, but no wrong answers.  ![db500 mobile s](https://www.dustlessblasting.com/hubfs/2020%20Website%20Content/Equipment%20Page%20Assets%20-%20Mobiles/renders%20NEW/Render-db500-mobile-s.png "db500 mobile s") ### DB500 Mobile S - Small in size. - Big on capability.

[Learn More](https://www.dustlessblasting.com/blog/total-investment) ## Pays for itself in no time. I WANT TO EASE IN ### Part Time - Supplement your income on the weekends. - Make some extra cash in retirement. - Fit around an unconventional work schedule (e.g. offshore worker, teacher, firefighter). I'M ALL FOR IT ### Full Time - Escape your nine-to-five. - Stop making someone else rich, and start working for yourself. - Count on training, support, marketing materials, and advertising services to ensure the success of your new business. I'M THINKING BIGGER ### Scaling Up If you start to get more business than you can handle, scaling up is simply a matter of buying another machine, teaching someone how to use it, and sending them off to do the jobs you can’t. Based on blasting for under 20 hours a week, your business could plan to deliver sales of about: - $300,000 in the 1st year with 1 mobile system - $600,000 in the 2nd year with 2 mobile systems - $900,000 in the 3rd year with 3 mobile systems LET'S GET CREATIVE ### Adding Services The opportunities to make money don’t stop after you have removed all the old coatings. Use your equipment to: - Paint, prime, or seal the freshly blasted surface - Run air tools - Provide vapor disinfection  Extra services like these make you a one stop shop for your customers. ### Financing is Available [Financing](https://www.dustlessblasting.com/buy/financing) [** ](https://www.dustlessblasting.com/business-opportunity/industry) [PREVIOUS](https://www.dustlessblasting.com/business-opportunity/industry) ## [The Industry](https://www.dustlessblasting.com/business-opportunity/industry) [What kinds of jobs will you be doing?](https://www.dustlessblasting.com/business-opportunity/industry) [NEXT](https://www.dustlessblasting.com/business-opportunity/success-stories) ## [Success Stories](https://www.dustlessblasting.com/business-opportunity/success-stories) [What will your story be?](https://www.dustlessblasting.com/business-opportunity/success-stories) [** ](https://www.dustlessblasting.com/business-opportunity/success-stories) [![logo-DB-black-white](https://www.dustlessblasting.com/hubfs/Imported%20images/logo-DB-black-white.svg "logo-DB-black-white")](https://www.dustlessblasting.com/) ## DUSTLESS BLASTING At Dustless Blasting, our equipment is designed smarter.
