Nowadays startups are becoming more and more common thing to take on when one has ambitions and resources to start a business of your own. Any new project is risky at the beginning and needs thorough calculations and hard work to prove itself profitable. 
As any business, starting a towing company is a demanding endeavor. Though, it takes fewer investments in comparison with other startups.

Then, come up with the ideas why your company will be better than the others, or at least how it will be different.  
2.    Documents. Paper demands vary from state to state and to be sure what of them are necessary to start a towing company, just visit a local secretary’s office and get the information there. It may be necessary to get a commercial driver’s license and take care of other legal permits that will open all doors for your towing business.
3.    Clients. By far, it is one of the most important constituents of a successful business. At the stage when you are new to towing and have no clients, try addressing local car communities, garages, police stations and all the other places that may need towing services. Make contacts with the owners as well as the personnel, give them the idea about your benefits and guarantees to make them want to work with you.

It is a good idea to buy a new one, but if it is financially hard for you, there is always an option to buy a used one. Still, make sure you have an experienced professional who can check the tow truck and see all its flaws. 
5.    Insurance. Unexpected and unpleasant things may happen, and you have to be prepared for them. Your insurance should cover everything from your tow truck damage to the damage made by your truck to the client’s one.
