How much should you expect to earn in a welding business?
Selling your welding products can mean big money. Welding businesses run from profitable side hustles to publicly traded companies. It really just depends on the amount of time and effort you put into selling your welding projects.

How much should you charge for welding projects?
The amount you charge for your welding projects should be based on the cost of materials plus your labor markup and shipping. Labor and shipping costs will stay relatively consistent, but costs of materials can swing as the price of raw materials goes up and down. Factoring in a healthy margin based on historical price is a good idea when pricing your welding projects to sell.

Do you need a business license to sell welding products?

Business licenses for selling welding products vary by location. In most jurisdictions, if you are selling a few items at a garage sale or on your local Facebook marketplace you can probably do so without any license or hassle. If you are selling high-dollar items or large quantities be sure to check with your local accountant and business experts in your area before you run into any sort of trouble.
