Start a Business With Little or No Money- Part 4 of 6
As we discussed in the previous sections, having a great
work history and ethic does not guarantee that you will
retain your job. There are many culprits to blame, such as
changing economic times, technology replacing humans works,
and outsourcing work to foreign companies.
The only real way that you ca retain your job is not put
yourself in the position to be fired. This may seem
impossible, but is really quite simple. You have to
become your own boss.
The only way to be the boss is to start your own business.
“But I do not have very much money, if any at all.” you say.
Well in today’s culture there are quite a few businesses
that can be started for little or no money at all.
This is not a get rich quick scheme, I am not saying that
you will be making five grand a month from the very beginning,
but I am telling you, that no matter the amount of money
that you have, you should still be able to start a business
without much fuss.
Here are some more examples of businesses that require
little or no money up front:
Mobile Car-Wash and Detailing
With a little soap, water, and rags, you will be able to
start a mobile car washing and detailing shop.
You will simply need the basic cleaning supplies and a good
vehicle to transport the supplies in. Supplies include: car
safe soap, rags, buckets, a portable vacuum, and dash and
tire cleaner. All of this is relatively inexpensive.
Make sure to place a sign on the vehicle you use for the business.
Signs can be picked up at your local graphics shop pretty
inexpensively. You can also place flyers in various areas.
Once you are a somewhat established you will then want to start
marketing your business to car dealers, fleet services,
rent-a-car places, corporations which supply vehicles to
their workers, etc.
Power Washing
Oily driveways, accidental spills, mud left over from a
rainy season, salt buildup. All of these may be reasons
for someone to hire a power washer to clean their road,
driveway, or home.
Power washing only requires a strong power washer.
The client will supply the water hookup.
Advertise this type of business in your local paper on
flyers. Flyers can be placed pretty much anywhere, but
you may want to target home stores, or auto parts stores.
Tutoring
Are you great at a specific subject? Are you great at
explaining even the most complicated algebra equations?
You may want to consider starting a tutoring service,
and put your skills to work.
Since the student will supply all the books and materials,
all you will need is your effort.
The best place to advertise this type of business at local
schools and businesses geared towards learning.
Packing and Unpacking Service
Not many people in the world like to pack or unpack before
or after a move, even though they lifestyle may require
them too. You can offer your services to these types of people.
Some packers supply the materials including boxes, tapes,
protective covers, plastic wrap, plastic peanuts, and so on.
If you supply the materials needed to pack the customer,
then you will be able to charge a much higher rate then
packers that do not.
Some packers and un-packers may even offer to load and unload
the items from the moving vehicle. Be sure to look into
insurance if you decide to go this route.
One of the best places to advertise this type of business it
at places that provide do-it-yourself moving supplies and
vehicles (such as U-Haul office or Penske) . You may even want
to talk with the owners of these shops and work out a deal.
Some of your clients will come to you before they decide on
where they will be buying their moving materials and vehicles.
If you have a referral system worked out with one of these
companies they can also recommend you to their clients in
they are in need of your type of services.
