Starting a data recovery business in Lebanon

“Dear Sales Team,

I hope this email finds you well.

I am in the process of starting a data recovery business in Lebanon. We are looking to acquire the necessary equipment to recover data from a wide range of storage devices, including HDDs, SSDs, memory cards, and USB drives.

I came across your DFL-SRP All-In-One USB3.0 Data Recovery Equipment, and it seems like a great fit for our needs. However, since we are working with a limited budget as we start out, I would appreciate your guidance on the following:

What essential components are included with the DFL-SRP and if there are any other related tools we might need to effectively recover data from all types of storage devices.
Are there any budget-friendly options or packages available for new businesses, especially for starting out in data recovery services at competitive prices?
Additionally, I would like to inquire about shipping options to Lebanon. If direct shipping to Lebanon is not available, we have friends located in Saudi Arabia (KSA), and we are open to receiving the equipment there and then forwarding it to Lebanon. Could you please confirm if you ship to KSA or any other nearby countries?

We are very excited about the possibility of working with Dolphin Data Lab and look forward to hearing back from you regarding your recommendations and shipping options.

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance!
Best regards,”

This is one new client from Lebanon who wishes to start a data recovery business and users of similar are suggested to read this article for detailed recommendations of proper data recovery tools: What Data Recovery Tools to Buy

Dolphin team are able to ship data recovery tools worldwide by DHL, Fedex, EMS, etc. Anyway shipping to Saudi Arabia is surely easier and cheaper.

Start a new data recovery company in Italy

,

This is one data recovery engineer from Italy who wishes to start his new data recovery company in Italy.

“Good morning, I’m Adriano, I come from Italy and i’ll start a new
little data recovery company next year. I would to know which version of
your software could fit in my personal case (i’ll be the founder and the
worker of this company) the cost of the software/tools, if there are
some tutorials on how use your product and if the online support or
ticket system is available for solving cases or if i need some help.

My lab will do data recovery services mainly for hdd (sata/pata), ssds
(sata, m2sata and nvme), usb sticks and flash drives like sd/microsd cards.

Thank you very much for your answer!”

To start a new data recovery company, the most important is to get professional data recovery tools with good technique support and donor resources.

For new data recovery companies, the most recommended data recovery equipment is DFL PCIe data recovery recharge system.
