Are you looking for small business ideas? There are hundreds upon hundreds of ideas and even more small business start up scams. I have listed 5 ideas with minimal startup cost.
Bakery
This may be one of the best small business ideas for those who love to bake sugary temptations and wholesome breads. Sell your baked goods. You probably have most of the utensils you need. Stock up on baking supplies when they are on sale. Select a couple of favorites as your specialties and get baking!
Don’t be shy about pricing. Consider what local bakeries charge for pre-mix and frozen stuff. Yours will be from scratch. Of course you will have to abide by your local health department rules, but most states allow selling to family and friends. Once people get a taste of your pastries they will be your friends for life.
Lawn and Yard Care
Got a mower? Then get cracking. Make up flyers to pass around your neighborhood. Your services can be as minimal or extensive as you are willing to work. Some people will only want a standard cut. Others prefer a manicured hedge.
Invest your earnings in additional equipment. As your customer base grows so will your referrals and requests for specialty jobs such as pruning and planting. Don’t forget the elderly who may need a screen door mended. And that leads me to the next subject…
Handy-Man
Remember when your wife asked you to fix a few small things around the house? After you got everything completed you felt pretty good about yourself. Houses are in constant need of repair, not big extensive repairs just little things like squeaky doors, stuck windows, and peeling paint.
As you begin the little things you will get requests for bigger jobs. Don’t be afraid to give it a try. Just charge a discount rate for your first attempt at a project you’ve never handled before.
Baby Sitter
I know this seems like an old standby, but more and more mothers are looking for reliable daycare for their children. Many of these women receive vouchers from the government to pay for this care so they can stay employed. Find out how to qualify to receive these vouchers as payment for your services from your local government office.
Pet Sitter
This is a good one for single people. Many pet owners need someone to care for their animals while they work or go out of town. You can be the answer to their kennel worries. Sometimes you may be asked to live in a posh home while the owners vacation in Europe and it’s just you and the pup in that grand whole place.
Now that I have started the thought process for you, you can come up with your own small business ideas. Think about what you are good at and do it.
