One of the biggest advantages of owning your own business is that a criminal record will not keep you out. You might find, with that type of business, you are required to post a performance bond (insurance) because of it, but that is just an additional expense.
Some loan agencies might be reluctant to work with you, until you have established a good reputation. In general, it is best to check with your local business license to make sure there aren't any local regulations you need to follow.

Two years work experience under a licensed repo agency within the state of California is required before starting repo business. An exam is to be taken to be a "Qualified Manager" which is required to ?æbe stationed in all branches. A CA business license is required before operation.
Each one starts from date of report to CB. Its NOT the repo report that will hurt. The JUDGEMENT will stay there longer and has more teeth.
You can repo your own car but you cant start a business without a license.

how do you get a repo licence in North Carolina
To start a vehicle repo business, you will need a few essential things. Firstly, obtain the necessary licenses and permits required by your state or local government. Next, secure a tow truck or a transportation method to effectively repossess vehicles. Additionally, create contracts and agreements to ensure legal compliance and establish relationships with lenders or repossession agencies that can provide you with leads.
you need to contact lenders/banks to find out what their requirements are:trucks, insurance, etc. if your still interested make some calls to local guys and see if they are hiring. Unless you are trying to start your own repo company, calling lenders is not necessary. Try looking up "Repossession" in your local phone book and make some calls. Find out what the requirements are to work for them. Some states, like California, say that you have to have an individual license to do repossessions. To get that license you can't have a criminal record. It only takes a minute to make a call. Isn't that where the money is in starting your repo business?
