What is a good business to start with little start-up costs?

Question

Want to get out of current job and work for myself. Dont have much money to start anything and wont get involved with scams.

Answer 1

Think of all your interests & ask yourself if any of those could be expanded into a business. Just keep in mind...what's your expertise? What are your interests? What could you imagine yourself doing?

By researching the prospect of starting your own business -- what it entails, what you need to know, helpful hints, etc -- you'll feel better prepared to take that plunge.

I found some book titles that are relevant to your specific question:

Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Answer 2

I have a business opportunity. It is not a scam and is highly respected. The start up fee is purchaing a membership for $35 a month, which you will make much more than that, and a $49 start up fee, which includes your training. It is a great company, if you are interested let me know.

Answer 3

Generally speaking, service-jobs require low start-up costs. Of course, to go into business in the service sector, you need to be capable of performing a service. So, figure-out what you can do without having to pay for much training or initial equipment.

Answer 4

Anything that can make peoples lives more conveinent - Where i live ( Minneapolis, MN) there are many people putting up there own signs up to run around for people and do work like mow the lawn, pick up the dry cleaning....etc....If that is not your thing and you do not mind coffee.....coffee cart in the right place will do the trick.
