What is a profitable and fairly easy to start up service orientated business for a couple to start?

Question

I am not looking for one of those "work at home" or MLM startups that hold so many promises. I don't mind working hard, I just want to work for myself and can't seem to find a niche.

Answer 1

I suggest a Street Fair / virtual storefront business. Define a niche based on your passions, interests, and skills. In some cases, one can begin operations with as little as a few hundred $$$ startup expenses. Overhead is low. Persistence is key.

Answer 2

Kids birthdays are a big moneymaker. Supply a blow up jolly jumping toy. One of you walk the pony and the other can dress like a clown make balloon animals. $600 for 2 hours. Do 2 parties on Saturday and 2 parties on Sunday.



Not bad money, and you will enjoy the work if you like kids!
