Don't Let Your Dream Disappear - Own Your Small Business Today!

Starting a business is a dream many people have. The ability to work your own hours, take a day off when you want to, and increase your income substantially is alluring. Owning a business is not all that difficult, and there are many business startup ideas that only require a very small investment. However, just as with a job, a business does take a lot of work (contrary to what you might think), at least during the initial stages, until it starts to make money. The following are just a few business startup ideas:

1. Maintenance

Office, construction or building maintenance is a great business. However, it does require a substantial amount of pulling, carrying, hauling and lots of dirty work. Still, this type of business has worked for many. All you have to do is find out what regulations, licenses and bonding requirements your state has, and you could be in business within the next 30 days.

2. Party Planning

If you love entertaining, and are great at choosing a party theme and creating the whole ambiance, then you may do well in a party planning business. Start by offering the service to fellow workers or classmates. Talk to neighbors and hand out your party planning cards wherever you go.

3. Personal Concierge

Life is getting very hectic and people that work just can’t do everything. As a concierge you buy birthday presents, shop for clothing, groceries, get those great concert tickets, make entertainment suggestions and more. All you have to do is advertise in local office buildings, with corporate managers, and you’ll be surprised at how the orders start rolling in.

4. Carpet Cleaning Business

This is another lucrative business. Buy a franchise or start your own; either way you will need to make a small investment in equipment and transportation. Often you can start a carpet cleaning business for under $10,000 if you start with a portable carpet cleaning system.

5. Vending Machine Business

This is a great little business you can run from home or any small office and work part time to full time. All you have to do, is place vending machines in businesses, buildings or strategic locations like parks, recreational centers, hotels and more. The benefit of the vending machine business is that it offers a high Return On Investment (ROI) and you immediately start to see cash flow. 

Additionally, it’s not a business where you have to be there every second of the day. Anyone who invests in a vending machine business and works at least parts time in replenishing the stock and finding new vending locations ends up having a very lucrative business.

No matter what business you choose, making your dream come true is all about putting in a little time and effort and getting started. Most people simply leave it all at the dream stage, when there are lots of businesses that only require a small monetary and time investment. Once started, you get to do all those things you always dreamed of doing if you weren’t working so hard.
