What physical businesses could you set up tomorrow if you wanted to?
It turns out that there are actually quite a lot of them. And some of them are surprisingly lucrative.
So, what should you be looking into?
Lawn Care And Gardening
One of the easiest physical businesses to get into is lawn care and gardening. With these, you can get started with basic equipment for less than $500 and begin offering services immediately. There’s hardly any compliance requirements other than insurance, and you can win business through word-of-mouth and Facebook groups.
If you can sell in a wealthy area, you can sometimes make a lot of money. So try it out for a few months and see if you’re onto a winner.
Mobile Car Detailing
Another super simple option is mobile car detailing. This service is in high demand these days, as most people prefer it if services come to them and not the other way around. They don’t want to deal with members of the public or go to the hassle of literally driving their vehicle to and from the car wash. For many, it’s just not practical.
Pressure Washing Services
You could also look into setting up a pressure washing business. These services are becoming more popular as more people want their patios, siding, and roofing cleaned.
Most experts suggest starting with something simple, like driveways, and then going from there. The startup costs are a bit higher, but that’s pretty much the only risk.
Mini Storage
If you have a plot of land you can use, you might also want to start selling mini storage spaces. Again, you don’t have to make a massive investment in a full-size operation. These days, all you need is a mini storage building kit and the right partner, and you can get set up in no time. Storage buildings have high occupancy rates so the returns are often better than with conventional real estate.
Dog Walking
Dog walking and pet sitting is another option. People love these because they free up their time to do other things than worry about their animals.
Dog walking takes various forms and depends mostly on the client. Sometimes, they will insist on a lot of work from you but other times, they may just ask for you to pet sit for them while you go out. Depending on the request, you can adjust your prices accordingly.
Junk Removal
If you’re the sort of person who just loves simple businesses, you might want to look into junk removal services. These are easy to set up and advertise, and you can often get paid within a week if you have the right type of outreach. People need this type of service all the time. You just need a truck and to charge dumping fees.
House Cleaning
Lastly, you might want to look into house cleaning, especially if you need money fast. These services cost around $100 to set up and then all you need is a vehicle to get you around to different clients.
