Awesome Business Ideas Under $5000

It is common to see many young and dynamic people want to quit their 9 to 5 job and start their own business, but majority of them lack a good business ideas. In order to help all the budding or aspiring entrepreneurs, I have discussed a few not-so-expensive business ideas in my article Kickass Under $5000 Business Ideas. Here are some more low-cost & easy to implement small business ideas. These business ideas are low investment, and can be considered by people from all age groups. If you live in small towns and are searching for low-cost small business ideas.

Here in this article, I have compiled some profitable small business ideas for small towns.

Small towns in the US have an emerging economy and are the biggest potential market for consumer goods and as well as eCommerce. The proof of their growth story is corroborated by most FMCG companies that are now earning a nearly similar proportion of revenues from both big and small markets. In the present scenario, small counties are emerging as hubs of entrepreneurial activity, beating larger cities and even metropolises in their growth rate. Following are a few business ideas to be considered for small businesses in small cities:

Cake Baking and Decorating

It is becoming a trend to get personalized cakes to mark a special occasion, rather than buying a cake from the local bakery. If you are into baking and can be creative with the decoration, this could be a very profitable business opportunity for you. If you want to do it but are not sure about latest trends in baking, get on the web and you will be amazed at the amount of information available to be used.

Catering

If you’re great at cooking and often get asked for recipes, it may be a good idea to turn this talent into a catering business. Even if you aren’t that good at cooking, there are many young boys and girls who have done 6 month or 1 year courses in cooking and are looking to be hired by someone. Get one of these kids to work for you.

Candle Making

Candles are easy to make and sell. Less investment, no waste. It is a wonderful and interesting craft to master. You will be amazed at the variations in shape, size and type of candles, and you can never run out of ideas in this business. Candles are always in demand and you and easily sell your handmade candles at local craft fairs, college fests, weekend or holiday markets, gift shops, flea markets as well as online.

Computer Repair

Because all of us know the basics of using computers today, but it is not the same for people from past generations. Elderly people have problems with their computers all the time and always need someone to solve the problem for them. If you can make yourself available for them at a short notice, even better. Tech-savvy people that are good at troubleshooting and finding solutions can start up their own computer repair business. Some people in our generation are also technically challenged!

Card Making

This is my favourite for creative people. Despite the mass of online communication, there are a lot of us who still see the charm of doing things the traditional way, and this includes sending handwritten greeting cards. If you are crafty and creative, you can make greeting cards and sell them both at local shops and online. Scrapbooking is a similar technique, and will likely be something you really enjoy doing along with this.

One thing that all of the above business ideas would require, apart from the raw material and customers is a website. A website is your personal online shop that you would require for your business to grow. Even during afterhours, your online store can remain accessible to the customers who want to browse through it during their free time and place an order at night, for you to see the next morning. There are several other benefits of having your own website that I have shared in my blog Quick Tips for Business Development.
