Unique Business Ideas Under $5000

More and more young professionals are looking to earn quick money with minimal investment today. As the economy of small counties grows, the residents are presented with more business opportunities to venture into. The growing demand for products and services has been immensely supportive for the start-ups as the more people venture into a business, the more its demand grows. The banking system has expanded to make resources available to start-ups and the government is also happy to provide loans. As someone who’s intending to enter the world of business, you can soon find yourself earning a stable income through mostly home-based businesses that would enable you to foster innovation to an optimum.

In this series of articles, I am sharing some low-cost and easy to implement small business ideas. You may read about some additional low investment business ideas that can be considered by people from all age groups, in my blog Quick Under $5000 Business Ideas. If you live in small towns and are looking to start a business.

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

Consignment Buyer

Some of us are really good at shopping for bargains and can quickly spot a good deal. If you are one of them, you would do well sourcing items from consignment shops and then reselling those items at a profit.

Cleaning

If you are looking to earn a bit of extra income after working hours, you may want to look into starting a cleaning business where you clean office spaces in the evening during weekdays or on weekends.

Virtual Assistant

The world is full of busy people. People are more occupied than you or I would imagine. There are some people who are willing to hire someone to help even with sorting and replying to emails on their behalf! A virtual assistant is expected to help with simple support functions like travel booking, setting appointments, follow up on reports, updating calendar, administration, etc. You can do this from the comfort of your own home. The only thing required for this is a sense of responsibility and professional approach.

Wedding Planner

Weddings are a tedious job, but not for someone who likes to manage and organise events. If you are someone who like to set-up events and have an eye for detail, you can offer your services as a wedding planner. This is a great opportunity for those who enjoy outdoor planning and are organized and mindful of every little matter that has to be taken care of. Be up with the current trends, keep in mind what you see at wedding exhibitions and read bridal magazines to get up to date information about what’s in demand.

Kindle Publishing

You wouldn’t think of publishing eBooks as a business. But believe you me, there are writers who are publishing books on kindle and earning money! This is their business and passion. Amanda Hocking, an average girl, decided to publish her book on Kindle because it was free and she did not have the money to pay a publisher. Until then, nobody knew her. And then her book sold over $2.5 m copies and she became a millionaire!! Of course, now publishing companies are the ones chasing her. What did she have to invest in her book? A mere $300.

No, I am not suggesting that everyone who publishes a book on Kindle is going to become rich, however, the price of entry is comparatively low; in some cases there is no cost at all. So, it just makes sense to give it a try, especially if you know you can write!

When you plan to venture into any of the above-mentioned businesses, remember, the key is to become known for your work. If nobody knows you, nobody is going to look for you! Get online and start advertising your products and services, or, even better, get a website for yourself, where you can add all the services that you provide, pictures, testimonials, and charges. You contact number, or an email address displayed on your website is a great way for people to find you and be able to reach out to you easily.
