Low And No Budget Home Based Businesses Any Woman Can Start Part Three

Your own business—scary thought, isn't it? Well it shouldn't be especially if you are out of work and facing the unemployment line. There are actually quite a few low-cost, low-budget home based businesses you can start and if you look around you there is bound to be one that is perfect for you.

Service Businesses are Hot! Hot! Hot! Why? Because many up and coming young professionals or older professionals who are on their own are willing to pay not to have to deal with life's everyday, ordinary necessities. Also because many people who are employed with children choose to concentrate on other things that they cannot hire someone to do for them.

Here are some more examples of businesses that require little or no money up front:


Personal Chef And Home Delivered Meals

Can you cook? Many personal chefs are called when the family just simply does not have the time to cook dinner, but does not what to get into the lifestyle of ordering out every night.

Usually, personal chefs arrive before the majority of the family does and begins cooking. Once cooking is complete, then you will set up a table and supply the family with the food.

It is not very often that the personal chef has to clean up after the family once they done, however you may offer these services for an additional fee.

Now, cooking for one family may not feed yours, but take it one step further. What if you spent your day cooking the same meal for five or ten different families and then delivering the meals each evening, all hot and bubbling, or ready to be reheated when they arrive home.

The best place to advertise this type of business would be at your local grocery store or in the local paper, or once again in your local free classifieds website.


Children's Taxi

Many working couples still want to give their children the full sports activities and club experience, and while in the city children can generally walk or ride the bus to all of their activities in suburban communities this is not always an option. For this service you will probably need a large roomy car or van in excellent working condition.

You will probably also need additional liability insurance on your vehicle and a Class C driver's license that allows you to haul passengers for hire, but that is just a matter of taking a special test at the Department of Motor Vehicles.
For this business you would pick up several children at their home or school and deliver them to their after school or weekend activities or lessons. Once you have several clients you would need to be able to accurately schedule your routes so no one's precious child is left waiting on a street corner for you to return to pick them up, or late for their activities.

The best place to advertise this type of business would be at your local schools, newspaper, or once again in your local free classifieds website, and with magnetic signs on your automobile. It would also be best to talk to Dance and Martial Arts studios. Offering a safe and friendly taxi service for their customers would probably greatly enhance their business so they may want to work with you, and give you a commission on any new business you bring them.


Court Paper Server (See also Personal Shopper and Errand Service)

Many lawyers and other legal agencies do not simply have the time to serve papers. This is where you come in. Lawyers and legal agencies will pay you to deliver these important documents. The only thing you will need is transportation and the gas required to do so, and good references, of course.

You will want to contact your local legal agencies in your local area and discuss it with them.

Resume and Document Writer

Do you have a way with words, well lots of people do not, and they will gladly pay you to write the resume that will better their odds of landing that dream job. A resume writer merely takes skills, talents, work history and job references and turns it into a easy to read résumé for potential employers.

Not only can you charge for writing the resume, but you can also charge to make copies of it as well. The paper and ink it takes to print the resume is the only charge you should accrue.

Advertise this type of business at local job agencies, employment offices, or on your local paper.

You will need to be careful when advertising. Make sure that your clients know that your resume will not guarantee them to get a job, but it will just present them in a more professional manner, which in turn will make them more likely to get a job.

It is not wealth one asks for, but just enough to preserve one’s dignity, to work unhampered, to
be generous, frank and independent.
– W. Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965) Of Human Bondage, 1915
