Top 5 Small Business Ideas

Let’s be plain here, no matter what you do, you must “sell”.

1. Event Planning

To consider going into this service business, you need to have a passion for planning and organization to succeed. Lots of events are held on almost daily basis and most people have no single idea how they can plan these events. When you offer your services and expertise, they would be willing to part with some cool money.

You could be either a corporate or a social event planner. Corporate event planners organize meetings, workshops, annual general meetings, luncheons and other corporate events for companies, while social event planners organize weddings, birthdays, bridal showers and other social events for their clients. Social event planners get more jobs regularly, while corporate event planners usually don’t have as much events to plan but may earn a lot more than social event planners. So you need to consider this difference before taking a plunge.

4. Babysitting

This is also known as child minding. A large percentage of parents are of the working class, which means they have to be at work every day and usually need someone to mind their kids until they are back home. This is where babysitters come in; they help parents take care of their kids until the parents are back home. There are also adult caregivers who specialize in caring for senior citizens who are too weak to take care of themselves.

5. Business coaching

Yet another business that doesn’t require selling is business coaching services. Many people want to start their own businesses but are completely at loss on how to go about it. Such people need guidance and direction from an expert who would hold their hands and guide them through the process—and, of course, get paid for the services they render. If you have the passion, knowledge, and experience required to become a business coach, why not go for it?
