If an entrepreneurial spirit burns deep within you, making a list of small business ideas is a great place to start. Often the best way to start your own
small business is to get some help and look first at the possibilities that are
out there to see which ones match your interests, capabilities and potential.
Opportunities abound for small businesses as you are
probably aware, the important question is what type of small business is best
for you?
A major consideration will be your access to capital. A very limited budget will equate to limited choices as brick and mortar businesses will often have significant financial hurdles associated with starting up this type of business. Buying into a franchise will require significantly more startup capital than launching your own blog site. Major considerations on what type of business to get into will be:
Brick
and mortar establishment:
Work
from home
o Tangible product
o Virtual product
Industry
Location
Full
time or part time
Access
to capital or ability to obtain business loans
Greenfield start-up or purchase existing business
While
preparing to consider launching your own Small Business, access to websites that will list
opportunities by the use of customized drop down boxes can be very valuable in
sorting out which small business ideas are the best fits for you. Imagine
accessing a website that offers drop down boxes for slicing through the
thousands of potential small business ideas that are
available based on your specific interests, industry expertise, and location.
Most people that have a strong entrepreneurial spirit also have some driving desires that should be addressed as part of the
evaluation process.
Creating
your own list of small
business ideas can also mean something more specific from a
micro point of view. If the macro concept of a small business pertains to the
upper level considerations like what industry, location, or a Greenfield
startup, the micro concept is far more specific. Detailing ideas at the micro
level may be how to market your "special sauce" or
your expertise in a narrow consulting field. What separates you from the
competition in the industry selected is a make or break decision every bit as
worthy of your time and analysis as concerns at a macro level.
Risk
assumption is also a major factor to consider as well. Learning which
actions taken by entrepreneurs that result in most business failures is an
important step just so you know what not to do!
