Top 5 Mistakes New Portable Toilet Business Owners Make (and How to Avoid Them) 

Launching a portable restroom business is exciting, but new owners often stumble. Here are the top mistakes we see at Crapper King — and how you can avoid them. 

  1. Overpaying for Equipment – Buying new instead of used delays profits. 
  1. Underestimating Service Costs – Trucks, disposal, and chemicals add up. 
  1. Skipping Marketing – Even with a fleet, you need a steady flow of contracts. 
  1. Ignoring Regulations – Health department rules vary by state and can result in fines. 
  1. Scaling Too Slowly – Waiting too long to expand can cause you to lose market share. 

Tip: Work with experienced vendors and resellers to avoid these pitfalls and grow faster.
