Run a Tinylab lab

A real business,not just a course.

We’re building Tinylab as a social enterprise. Our goal is to help people who don’t often get a fair start build a repair business of their own.

Not a course that takes your fee and leaves you on your own. A real repair business you run on your own hours: training, tools, parts, customers and the system behind it.

What it looks like

RM150/ day

from about 2 repairs

≈ RM3,900/ month

over 26 working days

Two repairs a day, around RM150. MacBooks earn more, a simple battery less, but that’s the average.

  • Your own hours

    Work around school runs, family and the rest of your life.

  • From home or a small space

    A quiet corner at home or a small shoplot. No big shop.

  • Be your own boss

    Your lab, your pace. We send the jobs your way.

We bring the customers, and the Tinylab name protects you too.

Customers pay Tinylab, and every repair carries our warranty across the network. You’re never on your own with a complaint.

Who we’re looking for

  • Single mums

    Earn from home while the kids are at school, and be there for them the rest of the day.

  • Young starters

    Young people who want to be their own boss, and learn a real trade first.

  • Orphanage youth

    We train them before they turn 18, so the day they have to leave, they walk out with a skill and a business of their own.

And anyone else with the will to learn. No experience needed.

How it works

  1. Apply.

    Fill in the short form below. We reply on WhatsApp and get to know you.

  2. Train with us.

    Hands-on at our lab: iPhone, iPad and MacBook screens and batteries, and how a Tinylab job runs from booking to handover.

  3. Open your lab.

    We set you up with the tools, the parts and the booking system, at home or in a small space. Customers book through Tinylab, and we stay with you after you open.

This is where we’re heading, and you’d be one of the first.

Where we are

Labs and drop-off points. Room for yours.

Labs do the repairs. Drop-off points are shops that take devices in for us. If your town isn’t on the list, that’s exactly where we want to grow.

Questions

Straight answers.

Do I need repair experience?

No. A drop-off point never repairs anything: you take the device in and hand it back. To run a Tinylab lab, we train you from the start. What matters is that you want to learn.

How much can I earn?

Running a lab, two repairs a day is around RM150. MacBooks earn more, a simple battery less, but that’s the average: about RM3,900 a month over 26 working days. It varies with your hours. At a drop-off point, you earn on every job you bring in.

How long is training?

It depends on how quickly you pick it up. We train you hands-on at our lab until you can do screens and batteries properly on your own, before you open.

What does a drop-off point need?

A counter people can walk up to, regular opening hours and a safe place to keep devices until they’re collected. No tools or repair skills. You earn on every job you bring in, and we’ll go through the details on WhatsApp.
