During the next 25 years, the senior population in America is expected to double. This will create a huge demand for senior services-and a tremendous business opportunity.

Choose the business that best uses your skills and fits in with your schedule
Grow your business quickly with strategies for excellent customer service that leads to glowing recommendations
Perform valuable services for the elderly, and make your business thrive

This small book opened my eyes to the complexity of selling services to the senior market. Its contents prevented me from wasting time on researching services that I was considering offering. It helped me when I spoke with my insurance agent. Worth the money!!

Start Your Own Senior Services Business Review

I felt that this book contained valuable basic information that would get you on the road to starting a senior services business. This book gave a number of ideas; such as daycare, concierge, and relocation services, and explained them in detail.

I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to gain a basic understanding of the types of senior-oriented businesses and what is entailed when trying to start one up.

Vague but informative

The book was full of a lot of good senior business ideas. However it was kind of vague on the (how-to) business information.

Highly recommended for anyone considering setting up in the field.
