There are several instructions you should follow and some facts you should learn and understand to start a data recovery business:

 

1, There is a big difference between data recovery hardware and data recovery software, SalvationDATA data recovery tools have two types: data recovery hardware; data recovery hardware and software integrated tools; SalvationDATA data recovery tools help to fix data recovery cases of crash hard drives, flash drives or faulty drives with a lot of bad sectors which the data recovery software cannot deal at all;

 

2, You must be very clear about your target customers if you want to start a data recovery business, for example, you want to provide hard drive data recovery services or flash drive data recovery services, you want to provide logical, firmware level or physical data recovery services or some of them or all of them; you must be very clear about your in-house data recovery types, which storage media types you have and which you must recover lost data from by yourself;

 

3, Measure your pocket and set up a reasonable business plan to match your local market. Investigate your competitors who are already in data recovery business and find out what kind of services they are able to offer so that SalvationDATA can suggest you with one more competitive data recovery solution.
