Best Small Business Venture To Make Money ?

[dieseldick]

im unemployed now after working years offshore, the industry has went belly up and its very difficult to secure work.

i am now thinking of a small business to run myself. such as a removal van . a mobile tyre fitting service also doing part worn tyres plus valeting service. a landscape business though no one has the money now to pay people to cut hedges and mow lawns same as in the height of the boom as i see B&Q are closing 200 stores nationwide this indicates that people are not spending on households.

any ideas or expiriences on a small business to earn me an income ?

Car valeting seems to be quite popular especially if you are mobile and can offer valeting while the owners are at the work place. Tyre fitting -well maybe you can't compete with the bigger companies and you would need premises. Gardening -actually there are quite a few older ladies who can no longer do their gardens but have the disposable income to have someone come around. My mother lives in a retirement estate where most of the ladies have someone come do the garden once a fortnight -she pays £30 for two hours work plus she makes them tea and cake.

You could be a snail farmer. You just need a small shed and some snails. Very easy and a big market.

Don't you eat snails in Ireland? I would have thought you had a captive market. I thought you were looking for innovative ideas which didn't need much capital? Just trying to think out of the box
