BE YOUR OWN BOSS

15 easy, fast and fun businesses to launch right now for $500 or less!

Tired of working on the nine-to-five treadmill for a company where the benefits are shrinking, the boss isn’t necessarily appreciative and the view isn’t great? Consider starting your own business. Millions of Americans have taken the plunge in the past few years and say they would never go back to the daily grind of working for someone else.

Entrepreneurs are committed to working nine to five, too, but it could be 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. For many who have lost their jobs due to layoffs, downsizing, company closings and other corporate debacles and scandals, there is no other option than to start a business. There are many ways to find a business that could be right for you.

Examine your hobbies and see if they could be transformed into a successful business. Check out our resource list of business opportunities. Do a search online for business and franchise opportunities. Another way to find what could be your dream enterprise is to sit back with a cup of coffee and read the following feature on 15 great business startups to consider right now.

There are some basic things to consider before you launch any new business venture. The first is, where will you be based physically. Will you run your business from a home office? Will clients ever see it or is it o.k. to do your basic work right from the kitchen table? Do you really need an outside facility? If you do, you will need considerably more startup cash to cover rent, insurance, utility and other expenses.

If you will work from home, make sure you contact the county clerk’s office to determine exactly what the zoning requirements are. In most counties, rules have become less strict as long as your home business doesn’t involve cars and trucks coming in and out of your peaceful residential neighborhood and that it doesn’t add noise or other pollution to the environment. If you are going to be working with food in your home, make sure you investigate the food handler’s license that you might need (requirements do vary from state to state so call your county clerk). It’s important to check on zoning regulations before you incur the expense of printing up cards, stationery, etc.

You should sit down with several professionals before you get started. Do you have a good accountant, one that is current with all of the new laws concerning small businesses and home office deductions? Find one who is by asking local business people.

Contact a lawyer in the town to have a consultation. This is particularly important if you have a business that you’ll want to grow and develop over the years. Make sure you understand potential liabilities of your new small business. In this day and age of lawsuit mania anything can happen, so protect yourself. You can learn the various business forms on your own (sole proprietorship, partnership and corporation), but a lawyer could help you structure your business. A lawyer might be very helpful if you are setting up a partnership with another individual and want to set down a contract of what you each expect from one another.

Finally, talk to your insurance agent and see if you need additional insurance for your home or auto. If you are going to be delivering items to clients, you might want to reassess your car insurance. Make sure you have enough insurance to cover any mishap.

How much time do you plan to devote to your new business? Will it start as a part-time venture or will you leave your job and go into it full force as a full-time operation? Talk to your family and make sure that they understand the time demands of a new business. You might be leaving a job where you worked 8 hours a day to run a small business that keeps you going 15 hours a day, especially during the startup phase.

It does take some adjusting. There is no water cooler conversation about last night’s game or movie, there is no one to lend support when the day gets long, and there is no guarantee of a paycheck at the end of the week. Why do it? Because if the business is launched properly, and if you have selected the right enterprise for your marketplace, you could hit the bigtime. Not only in terms of income, but freedom and flexibility like you’ve never experienced by working the nine-to-five drain. Get set for success, don’t anticipate anything bad, and start researching your options.

Before we get into our roundup of possibilities, we’d like to outline some of the basics of running a business from your kitchen table, garage, attic or spare bedroom.

Use these basic tips to help you start your own business.

Select a business you will enjoy:
In searching for the right business to start, make sure you choose something that you love to do. You will be spending a lot of time making the business work, so you must enjoy what you do. There are probably business ideas that will occur to you that would do well in your community, but if you don’t love that particular type of business, skip that idea and keep thinking. Find something you love to do and then figure out how to get paid to do it.

Create an inventory of your hobbies, talents and interests:
In researching the type of business you’d love to start, make a series of lists of what you’re interested in and see what you’re good at. Are there are common denominators? Do you like sports, pets, fixing things? What types of businesses could you start that relate to your interests. An individual who loves parties and music might want to consider starting a mobile DJ service.

Check out zoning rules:
Communities have really relaxed their rules on residential and commercial zoning now that so many people are working from home. But if your home-based business means that you’ll have to have huge trucks delivering goods, then beware, your neighbors might not like it and might turn you in to the local authorities. You will not be able to set up a restaurant at home or a dry cleaning business or a commercial parking lot right on your front lawn. To find out about local zoning laws, call your town office and county clerk’s office.

Register your company:
Take a trip down to your county clerk’s office and register your name. You will receive a Business Index number and can then use that Business Index number to open a business checking account.

Give your business a professional image:
Most of your customers might never see your home office, so impress them with your professionalism and attention to detail by selecting a good looking stationery system consisting of high-grade letterhead and business cards. Get a separate phone line so no one answers the phone and just says, “Hello,” which could turn off potential customers. Get a fax machine, an answering machine or voice mail and you are in business!.

Check out your insurance coverage:
Examine your insurance policy to see if you need to beef up your liability insurance or add on any other type of coverage. There are many add-ons to consider including: business interruption insurance, business property insurance, disability insurance, non-owned auto insurance, product liability and much more.

Generating business:
Print up a flier, get involved in local clubs and other networking opportunities, send out a press kit to local newspapers, prepare a direct mail piece, try and place yourself as a guest—an expert—on local TV or cable; investigate advertising, become active in local civic groups and associations, offer to give a speech at a local club or gathering, send out discount coupons, send out holiday greeting cards, teach a class at adult education, attend trade shows as a guest or exhibitor. All of these methods will help you generate business and customers.

Accounting for success:
Even though you might not plan to do your own taxes—and we do endorse the notion that you visit a professional accountant for tax assistance—it’s a good idea to get a grip on basic accounting principles and bookkeeping skills. Look into a local adult education course, browse through bookstores and find a “how to” manual or enroll in a local community college, but get a little accounting help under your belt.

3. Sell Goods At Online Auctions:
   Yes, you hear about it all the time. The eBay PowerSellers who are making thousands of dollars a month! Have you considered joining the millions who are making a nice income from eBay and other online auction houses? We know of a grandmother who sells her old stuff, treasures and junk, and is making as much as $600 a week from eBay sales. She doesn’t really push it to the max, either, or her sales would be much, much higher.
   
   There are plenty of people who are making bigger bucks from the almost 3 million auctions that close each day on eBay alone. In fact, thousands of eBay entrepreneurs have stores that sell $1,000 a day worth of goods. EBay transactions now total $5 billion a year. Many of the 50 million registered members treat eBay as a pastime, but eBay is no longer just for flea market lovers. With collectibles accounting for less than 20 percent of its volume, eBay accommodates the sale of both new merchandise and fixed-price items, from handcrafted creations to designer clothes to power tools.
   
   “EBay is a dynamic new marketplace that’s here to stay,” says Joseph T. Sinclair, a consultant and writer specializing in web strategy, as well as a fan and student of eBay from its inception. Sinclair sees eBay as “a democratic level playing field for individual entrepreneurs,” a place of vast opportunities and decisive advantages for doing serious business.”
   
   Sinclair has written eBay Business The Smart Way: Maximize Your Profits On The Web’s #1 Auction Site (AMACOM, $24.95). In the book he presents a comprehensive strategy, plus savvy tips, for selling on eBay as a full-time, moneymaking enterprise. Starting with the minimal investment required, he illuminates the benefits of building a business on eBay. As he points out, eBay easily saves a startup seller thousands of dollars typically spent on marketing, advertising, promotions, and commissions or salaries. By making each member’s products instantly visible to a universe of potential buyers, eBay gives self-starters an edge on competing with major-league retailers, wholesalers, and manufacturers in the real world as well as in cyberspace. Sinclair has packed a lot of great information into his book. He also includes common types of buyer fraud and precautions sellers can take to avoid falling prey:
   
   • Non-Payment: Some members think eBay is a game, not a marketplace. If the winning bidder doesn’t pay up, a simple auction turns into an unpleasant task of bill collecting. To avoid this hassle, set up a system to notify winning bidders about shipping and handling charges and requesting payment. If a buyer does not pay after several requests, notify eBay and relist the auction. You can post negative feedback to the nonpayer.
   
   • Bad Checks: Because too many sellers have been burned by “insufficient funds,” common eBay wisdom dictates: never ship the item before a personal check clears. Yet, customers like doing business with a company that ships promptly. Consider the price of the item and the volume of sales. If you sell five dozen $25 items each week, you might opt to ship as soon as a check is received and factor the occasional loss into the operating expenses. If you sell three $1,700 items a week, you might want to wait for the check to clear before shipping.
   
   • Credit Card Fraud: Stolen credit cards abound and the crime of identity theft is on the rise. Fortunately, the future for the safe use of credit cards looks brighter, with technological advances—SmartCards, secure electronic codes, and more—on the imminent horizon. Take advantage of all safety features as soon as they are available. In the meantime, be careful. It’s safest to refuse to ship an item to a different address than the one connected with the credit card used to purchase the item.
   
   • Credit Card Chargebacks: Many eBay sellers won’t accept credit cards because of money lost to unjustified chargebacks. This happens when a buyer contacts his credit card issuer and claims that the seller did him wrong. The issuer charges the purchase amount back to the seller and credits the buyer’s credit card account. Some credit card issuers do chargebacks automatically without an investigation. Whenever you are hit with an unfair chargeback, contest it.
   
   • International Fraud: Use extreme caution in accepting personal checksand credit cards for payment outside the U.S. In the case of fraud, there are rarely workable remedies beyond U.S. borders. The one safe exception is a PayPal registered buyer. PayPal verifies its credit card holders and also allows members to use bank accounts.
   
   If you have treasures lying around, or if you have access to wholesale goods, you can get in on this mega-profit bandwagon. Log onto www.ebay.com and register with a user name and email address and sit back and enjoy the show.
   
   
4. Music For Kids:
   Parents and grandparents are always searching for great gifts and educational fun tools to present to their children. Kids love music; it nurtures them—and imagine giving them a musical gift that is personalized!? Check out Custom Kids Music for information on a great business opportunity.

The company’s databank includes more than 1,000 names in English and Spanish so there is something for everyone. “CDs make great gifts and will boost your child’s self esteem while shaping positive attitudes that are so important to a child’s growth. In the formative stages of growth, children are especially sensitive to audio stimuli and prone to remember not just the words to these terrific songs, but also the wonderfully upbeat, personalized message,” according to the company. If your organization needs extra money for uniforms, instruments or a team trip, consider selling personalized CDs.
   
   
5. Custom Tea:
   There is a hot opportunity brewing in tea! Tea is rapidly becoming a major beverage in the United States as it already is throughout the world.

According to Tea Connexions: “What makes us unique is not only the quality and kinds of tea we offer, but our distinctive packaging fashioned from hand-carved, limited edition tropical hardwood containers, brass/metal, and papier-mâché.”
   The website (www.leafteabiz.com) offers terrific testimonials on how different individuals started their tea business and grew it into a tidy moneymaker. The accounts are very impressive.

7. Innovative Waste Training:
   Businesses spend thousands of dollars a year on waste. Sometimes mistakes are made and these errors in billing and management cost the business owner a bundle. There is a real need for consultants to come to the aid of busy, harried entrepreneurs and company owners who don’t have the time or make the effort to learn more about their solid waste disposal costs. Many business owners don’t even consider the fact that they are being grossly overcharged for services they may or may not even need.
   
   The more money a business spends on solid waste disposal, the more the waste disposal companies earn. IWS, Innovative Waste Solutions, has developed an Affiliate Program to teach individuals how they can become consultants in the field and earn a percentage of each dollar they help their clients save.
   
   Since the market for this business includes virtually every business and property owner, there is no limit to the income potential. Since most clients have multiple properties, you can generate as much as $100,000 annually with just a handful of customers, according to Innovative Waste Solutions.
   
   IWS has developed a program that will enable you to test the waters; it’s called the Try It Now introductory program and is available for about $100. Visit their website at: www.wastetraining.com to learn more, or contact the company headquarters: IWS, 3052 Casmeg Way, Rancho San Diego, CA 92019. The phone is: 800/429-6500.
   
   
8. Pet Businesses:
   If you love animals, why not start a business devoted to these lovable creatures? Pets are a big business and animal lovers spend millions of dollars each year catering to their birds, cats, dogs, fish and more. With a pet business, you can very likely work from home. Find out if you need any license to start your business. These licenses are usually administered on a state by state basis, so contact your county clerk’s office for information (usually found in the largest city in your county) or visit the Small Business Administration site at: www.sba.gov for more information on requirements. You’ll also want to check out local zoning laws through the county clerk’s office in case you are planning on hosting pets in your home in a pet bed & breakfast or pet-sitting venture. Make it legal right from the start.
   
   Some of the different types of pet businesses you can start include: aquarium maintenance, pet pickup service, custom stuffed animals, pet furniture, pet photographer or portraitist, embroidered pet pillows, pet shuttle business and merchandising pet products to upscale clients (everything from the dog birthday cake for FiFi to the rhinestone encrusted collar and leach set for little Clementine). Use your imagination, follow your passion and the money will follow.
   
   
9. Sporting Goods & Sports Mer-chandise:
   Sports—for every age group—have never been hotter. It seems everyone has stepped into the ballgame whether it’s for fitness or fun or a little of both. You can start a high-profit business supplying sports teams, community groups, schools, corporations or casual leagues with all of the sports paraphernalia and equipment they need. Here are a couple of resources for you to consider: check out Pro Star Athletics by visiting their website at: www.ProStarsportingGoods.com or by calling 866-390-7732, and check out SportsLife Enterprises at www.sportslife.com or call 800-909-5433 and request their free information packet.

Then you might have the makings of a food entrepreneur. All you need is confidence and the know-how to package your food product and get it out to the masses.
    
    Mary Carter is the human dynamo that owns Jazz Foods. She has packaged her knowledge into a wonderful guide, manual, how-to book called “How To Start Your Own Food Business.”
    
    If you have ever dreamed of packaging your recipe but held back because you were intimidated by the food licensing requirements or labeling restrictions, etc., then fret no more. This book addresses every issue that may have prevented you from taking the plunge in the past. You’ll learn about Food and Drug Administration compliance rules and regulations, bottling requirements, packing laws and labeling must-haves, UPC codes (and how to get one), suppliers, certified kitchen resources and much, much more. The resources are extremely valuable.

    According to the Kaeser & Blair website (www.kaeser-blair.com) “Pro-motional advertising products, commonly called advertising specialties, are the “carrier” of the advertising message.

It is a vital tool that every successful business in your community currently uses.”

    According to Kaeser & Blair: “All we ask is a small $85.00 deposit that is completely refundable in either of two ways. First, if you change your mind for any reason you can return the kit within 30 days. (So if you’re still not sure if this opportunity really works as well as we say, why not simply give it a try and return the kit if it doesn’t?) The second way to get your money back is by placing orders. Once you reach as little as $1,500.00 in gross sales, about the value of three average sized orders, we’ll completely refund your $85.00 deposit and the kit is yours to keep.”
    
    Visit the company website or call 800-642-9790 or Fax 800-630-9878 for more details on how you can get started.

15. Your Dream Business:
    Do what you love and the money will follow. A wise woman made that statement a few decades ago and it still rings true today. If we have a passion for something and can figure out a way to get paid for pursuing that passion, then the money and the profits will very likely follow. They will follow because we will enjoy what we do and if we enjoy what we do, we enjoy succeeding at it. We will love it, nurture it and make it grow into a success.
