Best Small Business Ideas |
|
If you’re like Brian and you’ve already thought about a
solution for a problem you encounter in your life — or
you’re on the path to doing so — then starting a small
business may be in your future. It may also be for you
if you dream of clocking out of your nine-to-five job
for the last time and becoming your own boss. |

1. Handyman
|
|
Are you always fixing things around the
house? Often on-call when friends need small
projects completed? Create a website,
conduct a competitive analysis to determine
what your time and expertise are worth, and
turn to the friends you’ve helped before for
referrals. |

2. Woodworker
|
|
Similarly, if you have a passion for
crafting beautiful furniture or other home
goods out of wood, that could be a small
business niche for you. Get started by
listing a few of your pieces on sites like
Etsy. Once you build a following, consider
starting a website, accepting custom orders,
or expanding to refinishing work and
upholstery. |

3. Online Dating Consultant
|
|
Dating consultants usually charge for their
time. They help people create successful
online dating profiles, source possible
matches from outside the typical online
channels, and offer a level of
personalization that a site like Tinder
can’t. Think you’ve got a knack for the
match? This might be the business for you.
