There are some cool things about the home equipment industry that make it an appealing business. Starting a home equipment business isn't easy.

Having a successful home equipment business is largely dependent upon the training and experience of the owner. Starting a home equipment business can be ideal for people who want to start a business but don't want the hassle of managing a physical location.
Here are some real life success stories of starting a home equipment business:
1. Moki Doorstep ($780K/year)
Zachary Brown (from Newington, New Hampshire, USA) started Moki Doorstep over 5 years ago.
Hi, My Name is Zach Brown and I am a full-time firefighter paramedic. But the real reason I'm being interviewed is because I am the founder and CEO of Moki Doorstep. I’m sure you're asking yourself what in the world is that? It’s a common question for us. Well, to put it simply its a vehicle rooftop assistance step. Our product, the Moki Doorstep helps its users easily access the roof of their vehicle.
Today we no longer manufacture the product. After taking a look at the bigger picture we realized that licensing was the way to go. Today we are partnered with the outdoor and rooftop accessory brand Rightline Gear out of North Carolina to bring you the Moki Doorstep.
2. Rotoshovel ($120K/year)
Rick Goren (from Fishers, IN, USA) started Rotoshovel about 3 years ago.
