list of small business ideasIf you want to start a small business today, you must know that starting a small business take a lot of back-breaking and mind boggling work, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you need a wheelbarrow full of cash to get it started. Here is a list of small business ideas that you can start up with not a whole lot of cash.


Virtual assistant: Today companies are outsourcing more and more. Practically any job can be outsourced anymore. If you don't know what a Virtual Assistant is, a Virtual Assistant is an independent contractor who can provide administrative, technical, or creative assistance to clients, usually to other independent entrepreneurs and solo or small business practices, such as that of a lawyer, coach or realtor. They work from their own office, thus making it a fairly popular and growing profession. It can also be a wonderful way to help during those busy times of the year or when you occasionally need a little bit of extra help.

Green Consulting: Today more people are interested in doing their part to protect the environment than ever before. People are searching for information about what to do and how to do it. As a Green Consultant, you would visit either a homeowner or a business and you would assess how they can make their home or business environmentally correct. If you have a background in construction or similar trade, this would be of great asset to you.


Niche Travel Coordinator: The tour market in the travel industry has always been very successful, but nowadays niche travel is becoming more and more popular. As an example, the lesbian and gay community is fastly making the gay travel market grow very quickly. They are seeking gay and lesbian friendly travel destinations. There is also a growing popularity in the senior travel and eco friendly tours as well.


Direct-Retail Sales: Direct selling is serious business ($30 billion in the U.S.), and the country's 14 million independent agents can make good money. There are several both large and smaller companies that will pay you to go out door to door and sell their products; companies like Mary Kay, Avon and Home Interiors & Gifts, just to name a few.


Event Planner

The $122 billion meeting-and-events industry needs plenty of planners, many of whom can bring home $80,000 a year, according to Meeting Professionals International.


SAT Tutoring

The competition to get into college has never been more intense, so there's becoming a very large market for this service. Expect to spend $500 to $1,000 when you advertise either in local newspaper ads or by passing out fliers in local schools.

So if you want to start your own small business, these are just a few ideas to get you thinking. There are hundreds more possibilities out there.
