Can the $1k you mentioned buy a clean and sound vehicle for transportation purposes? If I'm to venture into such kind of business I will opt for transporting goods to various destination than using it to convey passengers from places to places.I know of one which I'm sure of if you have the money to venture into It. Its not necessarily u should have up to a million in your account. You can start the business with $1000 to buy the capital. The business I'm taking about is transportation business, you will earn more than $20 per day trust me
