*POLL* quick what would you pay if you where the cust. question

I'm in the process setting up a new business scanning documents to .pdf using a high volume document scanner. I think I can do ~2 maybe 3 of the cardboard file storage boxes a day on this scanner.

This is with free pickup and delivery, and optional off site storage of $.50 - $1.00 a box per month (depending on the number of boxes being stored)

Vote your answer and what you think of the idea....

So far I've gotten a lot of feedback that most of the businesses (law offices, dental practices, and realestate brokerages) in my area are very interested, but I haven't given anyone any prices yet until I've been able to actually scan a few different size storage boxes to see how much time it will actually take per box.

edit: I will have a document that will be signed for affirmation of confidential information to protect/enforce the privacy act laws, when I get this rolling it won't be a problem.

Eh, a lot of the stuff you'll be scanning is legal documents, medical records, private stuff. They won't just give it to you or they'd get in a lot of trouble. If you made it so its ok for them to give it to you, it might not be worth your trouble.

I have a friend who is a lawyer to draw up a document to be signed for confidentiality information.

a hell of a lot less than $100/box.

do know how many pages are in a box, not to mention the time that has to be taken indexing the information.

Are you planning on running this business in America, where you might need English?

oh har har, I only speak English, I type here as fast as I can, because there are only a few punctiation freaks on these boards.

I would say no less than $150/box. The businesses you're speaking to tend to charge enough per hour for their own services, no reason you shouldn't get a good piece of it, too.

That's exactly what my wife said. I was orignally thinking $100-$125 per box.
