How to Start a Business with No Money

There are many ways to start a business with no money. All that is needed are bare essentials, no more money than you would spend a day at work paying for your lunch and transportation. What is meant by the phrase “with no money” is that only a very small amount is required. No loans or borrowing from relatives and friends is in the game plan. Here are a few business ideas that require no money to start up:

Home Cleaning Business

An automobile to transport your supplies for vacuuming a home along with scrubbing floors and doing windows. Minimal cleaning supplies are required, so in essence you are beginning a business with no money. An office or employees are not required to invest in. Your phone is your office. If your business takes off by word of mouth you will have funds later to plow back into your business. Like all businesses, a few dollars for local advertising can be invested. Any co-worker employed can be paid by a mutual agreement.

Messenger and Delivery Service

Local merchants would be glad to have someone with a car to deliver smaller items, letters and documents in an area with a small radius. Again, an automobile or even a motor scooter will be all you need. A motorcycle can be beneficial too. The merchandise can be carried in a backpack or tank bag. A few dollars in advertising costs or yourself doing the footwork by visiting many local businesses is the way to go. Any employees you must have can get a percentage of each parcel or message they carry.

Gardening Service

You can use the tools you already own such as a mower, hedge trimmer and edger. A few dollars will buy you some garbage bags, mulch, seed etc. A gardener is always in demand especially in populated areas, where you will not need to travel far to get from one customer to another. You will probably require a partner or worker here. Arrangements can be made to split the costs and profits.

Many services can be carried out without a large investment, with only a couple of workers. Naturally, when you grow due to word of mouth recommendations on your fine work, money can be wisely invested in anything that will make your business more efficient. In this time of growing unemployment ingenuity in ideas is needed to get back to work or go into business on your own. You cannot wait for the economy to create the job for you.
