To get started, I suggest contacting the Small Business Administration Financing Page (SBA) – links below. Entrepreneur also offers a great site dedicated to money & finance – see below.

Ok, let's think about what you are saying. First you say you want a business. That's good.
Next you say with no investment. How does that work?
If you want a business with no investment you would call it a hobby. No, you even have to invest in hobbies.
Maybe you can get in your car, no that won't work either. You have to put gas in it. umm investment there too.
Ok I have it! You like challenges. Here's one for you.
Start a business with 0, nothing, nada, no investment.
I'm not saying you can't but if you do you should be able to make tons of money selling the "how to" to others.

Hi there
If you're looking for the free route then read below, if your willing to commit to $10 a month then go to the last link in the list:
Try these FREE sites. Complete offers, answer surverys and they will either send you a cheque or pay you through paypal.
Treasure Trooper: http://www.treasuretrooper.com/143096
Minimum Payout: $20.00
Referral Bonuses:Two Tiers - 20%, 5%
Payment:Every month - by check.
Get Paid To:Complete offers, play games, and shop.
THIS IS THE ONE I SUGGEST IF YOU'RE JUST STARTING OUT.
Take surveys, sample products, signup for free trials, join clubs, and get paid for it all! There are over $2,000 worth of offers alone.
Shop at hundreds of brand name stores and get cash back on your purchases through Treasure Trooper. If it's shopping you might already be doing, why not get paid for it?
As of July, 06 Treasure Trooper currently pays its members over $100,000 a month. The top paid members currently make $800+ per month. The extra perks like treasure hunts and the 'Trading Hut' are sure to keep this company popular.
Treasure Trooper probably has the most offers of any of the sites. Like Cash Crate they send you e-mails to let you know if an offer has been approved. When I had a question I logged into their chat room and it was immediately answered. The fact that it revolves around a game doesn't appeal to me, but many people really enjoy it and it does provide benefits to those who participate.
http://www.*************/index.php?ref=69427
Minimum Payout: $20.00
Referral Bonuses: Two Tiers - 20%, 10%
Payment: Every month - by Check, Visa Gift Card.
Get Paid To: Complete offers and join free clubs and websites.
"Companies need consumers to try and review products, services, and websites and are willing to pay you to do it...What we do is take the money companies give us for your participation and give back up to 75% of it!"
Cash Crate gives nice bonuses and you can get paid very well over the long term with their generous referral program - 20% for direct referrals, 10% for second tier.
They don't have quite as many offers as Treasure Trooper or Instant Profitz but their site is very navigable and they are very organized with their information. Cash Crate clearly states what you can earn from each offer. They take care of your pending offers for you and send you confirmation e-mails when offers go through, as well as when they didn't so you can re-try.
Instant Profitz: http://www.instantprofitz.com/?ref=sanpedro
Minimum Payout: $20.00
Referral Bonuses: Two Tiers - 10-20%, 3-5%
Payment:Every month - Paypal!, Check, Other.
Get Paid To: Complete offers, play games, shop.
Instant Profitz really does put more instant money in your pockets. A great $3.00 sign-up bonus is an easy plus. Along with their standard referral system, you also receive a $0.25 bonus for each new referral you get.
Instant Profitz offers higher than normal payouts with the option of Paypal, but the referral program is different compared to others. Referral % earnings are only credited when and IF your referral reaches a $20 minimum and cashes out. Some of your future referrals will do offers but never make it to the $20 cash out minimum, costing you lost referral earnings. Other programs like Cash Crate and Treasure Trooper will credit your percentage instantly and they also offer higher referral % earnings.
Once you have made $10 a month then take a look at this site. Fill in your details and you'll receive all the info.

You are not asking a lot, are you?
If it were that easy, everyone would be doing it.
The reason it is hard to start your own business is because it is not easy.
If you want the easy way out, try ebay.
