Business Ideas with Low Investment

[rikiroy]

There is a familiar belief that starting a business needs a huge amount of investment. This is not the case for every type of business. You can run businesses with low investment, even from your home. India is a land of many opportunities. You can start a business in India with a nominal amount of investment and grow your business. Given below are some profitable small business ideas, with low investment, in India.

List of Best Low Investment Business in India

Home canteen:
Running a home canteen is an excellent idea for a business with low investment. You can cook different types of tasty food and supply them to offices, factories, and other customers. Of late, the business of cooking and food supplying has garnered significant popularity and it is a profitable small-scale business. The success of your home canteen will depend on providing quality food and giving timely service.

Dance Instructor:
You can work as a dance instructor and this does not require a whole lot of money. You can open your own school or work as a freelance dance instructor. Since dance forms an integral part of Indian culture, many parents like their kids to learn dance from a very early age. Therefore, there are plenty of opportunities for a dance instructor to earn both fame and money.

Fashion designing:
You can work as a fashion designer and start your business venture with a low investment. For this, you will need to undergo a full time or part time course on fashion designing. Start with traditional Indian clothes since they are the most sought-after outfits at the present time.

Data Entry jobs:
Data entry jobs do not ask for a big amount of investment. If you have a computer at home and Internet connection, you will get a host of data entry jobs by sitting at your home. Data entry jobs are outsourced to freelancers and other organizations so it is not so difficult to grab a project. However, you should remember that you have to finish the task within a certain time period. Filling up forms online is a popular example of data entry jobs on the Internet.

Affiliate Marketing:
Affiliate marketing is the method of merchandising the goods and services of another organization on their behalf. Here you work as the affiliate of that organization. Whenever you sell a product, you will be entitled for a commission. The amount of commission will depend on your agreement with the company whose products you are selling.

Web Development:
Like other small investment businesses, starting a web development company is possible without a huge amount of investment. If you are familiar with web development processes, you can start a business on your own with a PC with Internet connection and software. Once your business reaches a sizable scale, you can employ a few web development professionals who can run your business adeptly. The most difficult part of this business is getting projects. You have to obtain projects constantly for sustaining your business.

Home Made chocolates:
Making chocolates in your home is a moneymaking business. You just have to get the ingredients that are essential to make chocolates at home. After preparing the chocolates, pack them with fancy wrappers to add creativity and make them more attractive.

Event management:
Event management is a cost-effective business option for people who are interested in organizing different types of events and functions.

Wedding consultant:
Weddings are big events in India and take a lot of time. You can work as a wedding consultant to make things simpler and manage them for people who just don’t have the time to do it for themselves.

Industry/factory tour planner:
You can open a business for an industry/factory tour planner with a small amount of investment. Start an agency which will conduct industry or factory trips. Hire a small number of people who are experienced in the job of factory tour guides. Look for contracts from companies that are looking for industry/factory tour planners. This will take some time in the initial stages. However, when the contracts keep flowing in, you will start making money gradually.

First aid instructor:
If you have sufficient knowledge regarding first aid, you can start working as a first aid instructor. There are abundant opportunities for first aid instructors in schools, colleges and various educational institutes. You can work either as a full time or part time first aid instructor. Purchasing a first aid box is necessary for this business.

Art and crafts:
You can open an arts and crafts stall. Though this type of a business venture requires some more investment than the so-called low investment business options, it is definitely a lucrative venture. There are many people in India who are ardent art and handicraft collectors and they constantly look for these items. They can pay any price for their favorite item. So, think about opening an art and crafts shop right away. You can get a bank loan for this business venture from various financial services providers and banking institutions in India.

Daycare Center:
Daycare Center is an excellent business choice which necessitates a trivial amount of investment. The most attractive part of this business is that you can do it from your house. In addition, there is no requirement to make a huge investment on infrastructure. The things you have to purchase include books, toys, and games for the kids. The other things are there in your home. Nonetheless, you might have to redesign your home as per the requirements of the kids. A number of safety measures need to be adopted such as keeping electrical devices in a place which is inaccessible to the kids and meshing the veranda.<a href="http://business.mapsofindia.com/" title="business ">business</a>

With all kindness, I am confused about the purpose of your post. I daresay most if not all of the participants in this forum are based in the US and Canada. Perhaps you intended to post this information on a different forum?

Looks like he was trying to get a link to his site at the end to help with SEO. Not the world's worst post, but not terribly applicable here. One interesting thing about web development is you an actually buy a website that already has an income as an investment. I'm reading a great book about it right now.

[YYjames]

What's the book's name WCI?

I've looked at flippa and stuff but never found anything convicing. Also not truly passive, but probably can outsource it to someone trust worthy (hard to find Jim Dahle's of the world)

Ah, I was wondering about the hypertext protocol at the end. Not very good with that stuff (that's one thing my brilliant partner handles :-) )

Ive also looked at buying functional sites with income and doing whatever with them, but what I've seen (and it has been a while) never seem that interesting or like solid pursuits. Similar to buying any business for sale, not necessarily as passive as hoped, and no one is selling the great ones for a great price of course.

True but there is alot of "frontloaded" work and then can cruise. I have known a close friend being successful with buying "forum" style sites (he had 2-3) and generate true passive income as most of content is user generated (hey look what am I doing here?!) Speaking of which, WCI's forum decision is pure genius. The more I think about it the more I am interested in this niche style business model, now that I am getting over "Affiliate marketing" averseness.

Lets see if Jim posts the book's name. I'd be very interested.

According to the book, Flippa is where the cheap sites and most of the scams are. The more expensive sites are sold by brokers. Typical prices are 6-48X monthly profit. I've used 24X of my passive income, not including the book, when valuing mine each year. But I'm not willing to sell it for that. If someone offered me a couple million, I might sell. Having too much fun right now.

Maybe I'll do a review of the book. In the meantime, here's my affiliate link to Amazon for it:

Thanks WCI for the info, much appreciated

Also I think this websites' heart and soul is you as a writer/your passion. In another's hand this will decline. Hope you keep this long. Tc

Wait.  Are we making chocolate and selling it in our home canteens while dancing, or not?!

While the part of this you enjoy requires high touch from me, the part that makes the money is not necessarily the same as the part you enjoy. Just like the parts I enjoy aren't necessarily the parts that make the money.
