4 Types of Business You Can Easily Start on Your Own

June 15, 2021 by Tim McMahon

If you’ve ever thought of starting a business, you may have run into difficulties finding a business model that could make you good money without requiring a giant up-front investment. The good news is, there are a variety of business ideas that will allow you to make good money on a small scale. Here are four businesses you can easily start on your own.

Social Media Marketing Agency

If you love social media and are always up on the latest trends, you may have what it takes to provide social media marketing services to businesses. Small companies are always looking for new ways to promote themselves, and the ability to get them noticed on social media platforms is an immensely valuable skill. To be successful, you’ll need to be able to use a wide variety of different platforms well. Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn, though, are the main sites that your clients will expect you to use.

Plumbing Business

Few businesses can be as profitable as a small plumbing company for people who are handy and don’t mind getting a bit dirty at work. Plumbing is hard work, but the pay is extremely good. While you will need to get licensed, the time and expense is well worth the effort. Once your plumbing business is up and running, you’ll find that you can make great money and expand quickly by bringing on an extra employee or two.

Pest Control Service

Pest control is another lucrative business that many people never think about getting into. Although the work isn’t for everyone, pest control can be very profitable, especially once you’ve built up a client base for regular spraying and inspection services. To learn the trade, you can work with an established pest control company for a couple of years or take online pest control CEU classes that will help you get started in the field. You will need to get the appropriate licenses from your local government but once you do pest control can be a good business.

Lawn Care Company

If you enjoy cutting grass, trimming trees, and making sure hedges look great, starting a lawn care company could be the perfect choice for you. People pay good money to have their lawns tended professionally, and the initial price to get started is fairly low. All you really need is a lawnmower, a trimmer and a truck to transport them. As you go, you can add more specialized equipment and expand your services.

These four business ideas will let you start small, make good money and build over time. If you’ve always wanted to have a business of your own, consider getting into one of these fields today.
