Low And No Budget Home Based Businesses Any Woman Can Start Part Four
Low And No Budget Home Based Businesses Any Woman Can Start Part Four
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 nice soft ragbag cleaning cloths, you can be in business as a traveling car washing and detailing service. People with nice cars want to keep them that way and they want them babied, they do not want to run them through the local spray and wash.
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 bright-paper flyers in various areas, and hand out business cards and don't forget to advertise in your local free online classified ads.
You can even market your business to car dealers, fleet services, rent-a-car places, and corporations which supply vehicles to their workers.
Power Washing
Oily driveways, accidental spills, mud left over from a rainy season, salt buildup, and dirt and mildew on the outside of homes. 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.
Advertise this type of business in your local paper on fliers. Brochures and fliers can be placed pretty much anywhere, but you may want to target home stores, or auto parts stores.
Tutoring (See also Babysitting and Children's Taxi Service)
Are you great at a specific subject? Especially math or science or maybe a foreign language.? Are complicated algebra equations simple for you to understand and explain to others? 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 time and talent.
The best place to advertise this type of business at local schools and businesses geared towards learning, and of course, on your local online free classifieds website.
Packing and Unpacking Service (See Also Home Organization)
We are a somewhat transient society, and almost everyone hates packing and unpacking. If you are good at this type of task or very organized this may be the perfect business for you.
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 who do not.
Some packers and unpackers 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. 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 that are in need of your type of services.

be generous, frank and independent.

Service Businesses are almost guaranteed security. Not guaranteed wealth, in most cases, but security that pays more than working at your local fast food joint just to make ends meet until you can land your dream job. Why are service business so great? Many people think that service businesses are beneath them, and yet these positions are in demand because many up and coming young professionals or older professionals, or retirees who are on their own are willing to pay not to have to deal with life's everyday, ordinary necessities.
