Starting a House Painting Business Here is one business in which little training is required. The skill required to paint a house, inside or out, is mainly a combination of neatness and speed. Since the labor is rudimentary, it means you'll also have an easier time hiring help, such as energetic college students. Starting a Wake Up/Answering Service Despite the appearance of low-cost recorded answering devices, there is still a thriving demand for answering services featuring 8 live person on the other end of the line. If you have ever called someone who used a recording device for an answering service you probably know why. Starting a Special Occasion Film Service For those who are hoping to start a special occasion film service, the good news is that you don't have to be an Otto Preminger to produce a film that will entertain as well as become a cherished memory of any important celebration. Starting a Pet and Plant Care Service Two women who love animals realized this was a problem for many families, so they started a business in which they visit a customer's house twice a day to feed the animals, pick up the mail and look after things. In exchange for this service they charge between $5 and $6 per visit. Starting a Professional Cleaning Service One of the steadiest service businesses going is also one of the most invisible. If you work in an office or store you're probably used to coming in every morning and seeing clean carpets, empty ashtrays and freshly mopped woodwork. Starting a Bookkeeping and Tax Preparation Business Nobody likes to do taxes, and it can be a particularly complicated task for those who own their own business. Although most of your prospective clients will maintain their own weekly bookkeeping, you can offer this additional service to those who want it. Starting a Home Bakery When starting a home bakery you need to bear in mind, first of all, that baking bread, cake, pie or cookies for a special occasion can be great fun. But to make money in a home baking business you have to bake your specialty many times a week, over and over again. Starting a Dancing School Whether it's square dancing, ballet, ballroom or contemporary rock dancing, there are great numbers of people who want to learn. Of course, your own preference and the most popular dances in your community will pretty much dictate the kind of dancing you choose to emphasize in your school. Starting a Party Planning Service If you want to plan parties, you need to know that you'll have one crack at satisfying a client you may never serve again, but that client could be responsible for getting you another dozen customers. The long-term success of your business will ultimately depend on word-of-mouth recommendations. Starting a Hauling Service In order to succeed in this low-investment service business you have to offer something that will attract customers to you rather than others who may have better equipment, or a long-established list of customers. Starting a Specialty Newsletter A fellow by the name of David Levy spent a great deal of time with his hobby of restoring antique stringed instruments. He also enjoyed playing the guitar and banjo, and visiting Blue Grass music festivals during his vacations. When he lost his job several years ago, he decided to take a crack at turning his hobby into a money-making profession. Starting a Child Care Service The first thing you should do if you want to start a daycare, before even soliciting working mothers, is to check your local education department for licensing requirements and insurance needs. You should, by yourself, be able to care for up to ten children at one time.
