Yes.Here are some small business enterprises to consider:1. Providing a private tutoring service ranging from music lessons, English writing and reading lessons: to training seniors on how to operate a particular computer;2. Offering to supervise or monitor services to senior citizens especially those wanting someone to take them on errands, driving on long trips, watch and clean up homes left behind by seniors who have been relocated to assisted living quarters;3. Becoming a regional apartment manager servicing several properties while traveling to and fro to collect monthly rents and service tenant complaints;4. Leasing a van equipped with paper shredding machinery and go into high-income areas offering to shred their highly secretive personal papers or even allow them to do so in the privacy of their own home or office;5. Leasing high-pressure steam cleaning equipment which can be used to remove chewing gum in front of store fronts and apartment houses and charge an appropriate hourly fee;6. Acquiring a personal fiduciary bond up to $100,000 [actually 10% or $10,000] which will allow you to sell your services as a personal property document specialist which involves photographing and cataloging all kinds of personal property which are subject to insurance coverage; salvaging of family photo albums, etc.Good luck!
Depending on the business. If you want to start your own from scratch, it may be hard to get it started. If it s selling things that other people need in day to day life, then I think you could become successful. If you are looking to start your own small business through a larger company (AKA: AVON, AMWAY, ETC.) I think it s the perfect time because companies like that sell things that people use daily/weekly. And while you are starting out in that type of business, if it ends up not working out for you, you won t have a bunch of bank loans to pay off like you would have if you started your own business and leased a building for it.I have a yahoo group if you re interested in joining. It s all about home based businesses through larger companies. I created it so people in all small businesses could get together and share ideas. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HomeBusinessReps Good luck with your business!!!~Katie~
It would depend on what the small business was. For example, if the business was simply selling materialistic things, no one really needs, then no. But, if your business was offering services that would be useful in a bad economy, then yes.
It depends on the business and your plan for it.
