A repo man, or an automobile repossession agent, is responsible for locating and taking back property purchased but not paid for by an individual or business. The repo must be able to deal with a wide variety of situations and people, some of whom may become violent.
Becoming a repo man in Arizona
Own a tow truck or a truck capable of towing another vehicle. If you do not have access to or own such a vehicle, you will need to find work with a repossession company that does. The vehicle must be properly insured.
You must get a surety bond before you can go into business as a repo man in Arizona. The surety bond is to protect both you and the company for which you are acting as a repossessing agent.
Get a business license for your county through the License Services division of the City Clerk Department, located at 200 West Washington Street, 10th Fl., Phoenix, AZ 85003. Once this is filed, you must run an ad in a local paper announcing your business or your license will not be valid. If you are working for a repossession company, you will not need a business license. Once you have your license, you are ready to begin business.
