Seen the other post on "Being your own Boss" Not wanting to hijack his post.
You have $2000 to open a business. What kind of business would you open? |
|
|
|
Are you planning on doing this business full-time? Part-time? Weekends? Evenings? What goals does your business have (employ slacker children, for example)?
|
|
Porno Movies
You can do it on a shoestring budget, by doing " Crack Ho Interview " |
|
|
If you have the skills, auto detailing, paint correction, and coatings.

I've changed my mind. I do, in fact, have $2000 to start a business. I would like to start a business that provides spelling and grammar corrections to people who post online. We will not be undersold. Send an email for a free price quote.

View Quote you would be better off selling your services to grammer nazis, who would gladly pay you money to " fix" peoples screwed up posts..... vs getting people to pay you to fix up their own posts. |

I'd start a protection service for girls who like to go out on dates.

Probably a hot dog stand or other similar stand.
$2K isn't enough for a lawn maintenance company. |
|
If you already own a truck to haul equipment in, swimming pool maintenance.

He just goes down the street to every other building after mine. I'm sure he's making hundreds per hour - though he's having to travel around I'm sure. |

If you have a truck, you could rent an aerator and go door-to-door offering to aerate lawns for $50 a go or so do. Do that every weekend this spring.

Take the NRA Basic Pistol Instructors course, buy some supplies and get insured. Start teaching the course.

Quoted: You can't afford it. Insurance alone on said taco stand is ~$1500 for a full year of coverage. Licensing with the state is around ~$800. It cost me about $13,000 to get a similar business started. Not selling tacos, but it was primitive. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: A taco stand. You can't afford it.

A consulting business specializing in helping start up new businesses.

Knife sharpening.
Former coworker started just doing our pocket knives and hunting knives. He did a hell of a job and soon was doing tons of work including many chefs knives in town. He's pretty successful. Won't get rich but he does well for a second gig. |
|
Also could do uber or airbnb, assuming you have a car or domicile, respectively
|
|
$2,000 is very, very little.
If I had to do it - lawn mowing business. Make a mint around here. Plow it back in the business and grow, grow, grow. |

With that money?
Low risk service business. Anything else and you don't have anywhere near enough money to start anything. Upgrade your regular vehicle insurance to higher liability low risk commercial. Then do something like yard work, cleaning service, deliveries, garage clean ups, etc etc.... Save every dime and start to hire day laborers ( through an agency to cover all their costs like insurance to reduce your risk) Build enough clientele to make your steady check then then start risking yourself on larger jobs to get some bigger dollars flowing. Once your cash flow exceeds your basic needs you can start to grow. If you are motivated and good at sales (most are not) 6months to a year and you might.... I say might... Make it to 2 years. Edit: If your thinking online selling like some have said.... Go hit your local auctions. Small town auctions are amazing for deals. Saturday I bought a brand new in the box Radio Flyer wagon for $25. New they go for about $100. And they had a few of them. A ton of stuff was selling for $2-$5. If you had the time it would be easy to flip on eBay and Craigslist. |
