Budget Friendly Start-Ups

Despite the gloomy economy, there are several simple ways to launch a business on a budget. With time, starting small could lead to a lucrative and long-term business. Below are a few start-up friendly examples:

• Lawn and Landscaping Services. With start up costs as low as $1,000, it’s easy to start small and grow big with this industry. You don’t need a ton of employees, but instead, just yourself to initially get started. Purchase used lawn equipment and garden tools, and spread your new business via word of mouth. The great news: you get to decide how much or how little you’d like to work. Tip: you’ll want to make sure you are more adept at mowing, trimming and pruning than the average Joe, so invest some time into educating yourself.

• Food Services. Entrepreneurs in community food services will find a market hungry for affordable, yet healthy meals, with startup costs of only $500 to $1,000. Once you’ve selected your location and identified your target market, ensure proper licensing. Saving on start up costs begins by purchasing discount food equipment. Tip: before you start spending money, take care of the logistics, such as applying for a business license with your city and securing food handler's cards with your department of health.

• Education Services. You can launch a tutoring company or other education service for as little as $4,000. You’ll need basic rented office space and equipment. If you really want to keep costs low, start your own tutor service from the comfort of your own home. The potential earnings from a home tutoring service are really dependent on your efforts and commitment. Tip: you don’t necessarily need an education degree to tutor. However, teaching experience will help in building a profile, as parents will be more confident with your abilities.
