Sell your stuff online. First-time business owners should consider the Internet to start a business because it has low overhead. Maintaining a website is significantly cheaper than renting retail space, and the Internet is the fastest-growing marketplace. You can sell almost anything, from albums and jewellery to vintage clothes. If you want to start even smaller than your own website, you can open up a store on wider platforms like eBay, Amazon.com, or Etsy, which specializes in handmade and vintage goods.

Start a clean-up crew. Luckily, cleaning up is a skill that will never require a business degree. You can start your home-cleaning service, taking on as few or as many clients as possible. Cleaning services are also relatively low-cost businesses, and the time commitment is generally flexible. There may already be a lot of competition for cleaners in your neighbourhood. If so, you could still squeeze yourself into the market by offering specialized services such as construction cleanup.

Open a childcare centre. If you love kids, running a childcare centre may be your business. Parents usually form strong networks, which means your business could proliferate by word of mouth. While starting a childcare center usually costs less than other enterprises, there are hidden costs like insurance fees, licenses, and the price of child-proofing your home or rented space.

Become a words wizard. With very little cost involved, you can start offering freelance copywriting, editing, or proofreading services. More specialized paths include medical transcription, translation, or transcribing services. While most of this work does not require formal training, some form of certification can often give you a leg up on the competition. If you are detail-oriented, willing to research, and love words, this could be the perfect fit.
