How does a business like this make money? It sounds almost like it could be a nonprofit.



I'm working on a model of charging the business for this service. A monthly fee, or project based fee.

This week is the beginning of my sales process, and I've talked to many people that are super interested, working my way to the people that sign checks.

I'm hoping to get a spend of a few grand per month per company I work with, and get them to commit to a few months of my efforts.

It costs $1500 to pave a new asphalt parking spot (and $25k for a parking spot in a parking garage) so a service that "adds 10 parking spots", roughly, is valuable, and, more importantly, adds capacity to the business when they're otherwise maxed out.

I'm talking to restaurants, breweries, and climbing gyms, at the moment. All of these institutions are sensitive to their customers and staff not being able to find parking.
