You may be wondering whether it is possible to start a business with very little or no money. The short answer is yes. But only specific businesses can be started and grown without a significant capital investment. These include:
Service businesses
Whether it is designing business cards, or a window cleaning service, these businesses depend on the sweat of your brow, or using your existing skills to make money.
Services like graphic designing, cleaning businesses, tutoring or web design all work with the “no money upfront” treatment, so start thinking about your skills, and what you enjoy doing, and turn that into your business!
Internet businesses
Become a domain or hosting reseller, design sites (if you have the skills) or write and market an E-book about a topic that is your passion. Internet businesses are the ultimate in low cost to start and run option. Even buying and selling on e-bay has become a viable business optioninquiry! So start thinking about how you can make the World Wide Web work for you!
Consulting businesses
This actually combines the first two, since consulting is a service, and you can run it very successfully online! When you think consultant, you probably think grey suit, distinguished gentleman right? Wrong. If you have a special skill, in anything from organizing events to computer networking, you can consult!
The only thing you really need to become a consultant in any field is an above average knowledge and talent for a particular field.
So there you have it, three potential business goldmines, just waiting to be tapped. Put on your thinking cap, figure out what you’re good at, and get out there and turn your skills and talents into cold, hard cash! You know you want to!
