Ever wondered what it really takes to start and run a successful Amazon prep center? In Episode 21 of Marketplace Mavericks, we sit down with Joel and Laura Smith of Zero Tax Prep Center (Delaware) for a transparent, behind-the-scenes look at their journey from full-time logistics professionals to prep center entrepreneurs. We cover: 💰 How much it costs to start a prep center (startup vs monthly overhead) 🛠️ Managing staffing, forecasting, and fluctuating clients 📦 The difference between seller-prepped vs. brand-prepped inventory 🧾 What kind of insurance coverage prep centers need 🧑‍👩‍👧‍👦 Running a family-run business (employee #1 is Dad!) 🗨️ Why communication is the #1 reason prep centers succeed or fail Plus, Jon shares how Joel’s team helped him catch a sketchy OA shipment before it went to Amazon, and Pete digs into the pros and cons of FBM support from a prep center during Q4. Whether you're thinking of starting your own prep center, or just want a better partner for your Amazon business, this episode is a must-watch. 💼📦 📍 Connect with Zero Tax Prep Center Website: zerotaxprepcenter.com X: @zerotaxprep2 📬 Got questions?
