A marketing agency is a great starter business. Your capital expenses are low, you can start from a laptop, and it’s a cash flow business from day one. You do not need to raise money and burn for years. You get paid to learn, and if you build real scale like we did with Leveling Up, bigger holding companies might even buy you for a solid multiple later.
