Top 15 New and small business ideas for 2021
1. Blogging
I am a full time blogger. I
started my blog in 2009. Initially it took 1 year to learn blogging but after a
year, I started earning some good income with blogging.
It was 2012, when I crossed
$2000 from blogging. Today, I earn more than $20,000 per month with blogging.
There are thousands of people in India, USA and all over the world, who make
$500 to $25,000+ per month with blogging.
It’s an excellent opportunity for people who are looking for low investment
business idea. You can start with as low as Rs 5000.
2. Digital Marketing
This is trending business
in India right now and there are unlimited opportunities in digital marketing.
You can start a digital
marketing agency, you can do a freelance business, you can launch your own
start-up, and you can even promote different products through digital marketing
and make money.
It’s very
difficult to find good digital marketing training institutes in India. Most of
the people, who provide training, are not skilled themselves.
3. Aquariums
This is a small business
idea you can enter with low investment and also from your home. For this trade,
you need to buy a few aquariums of various sizes and different kinds of fish
that are popular as pets.
You can also breed fish by
keeping special tanks.
Additionally, selling air
pumps, fish food and decorative stuff for aquariums will net you more profits.
Aquariums are also popular as gift items. However, you need to be well versed
in handling various species of fish.
4. Pet care
Understandably, people love
their pets. However, while travelling for holiday or business, they are unable
to take their pets along. Hence, people look for services that will care for
their pets while they are away.
If you are well versed in
handling pets, this is a great business you may consider. Again, this is a
small business that requires low investment.
5. Mobile phone repair/ accessories/ recharge
India will have nearly 800
million smartphone users by the end of 2022. Further, this figure will grow
exponentially as more brands and cheaper variants enter the market.
Consequently, the demand
for outlets and persons who offer repairs of mobile phones is expected to
increase manifold. You can also sell accessories and credit recharge.
6. Cakes & bakes
Armed with a good oven, you
can open a low investment business making cakes, muffins, cookies and other
bakery items
This small business has
huge potential since consumers are always looking for new, better tastes at
economical rates. You will however require great skills in preparing these
baked delicacies.
7. Travel services
Offering travel and related
services can see you make instant profits. Tie-up with long distance bus
services, offer online reservation of rail tickets and reserve hotels at
various destinations for clients.
You can also add local
sight-seeing and other requirements for your customers. You can either
collaborate with a major travel agent or enter into deals with service
providers and get commissions for every reservation you make.
8. CCTV & surveillance
Increasingly, people are
becoming security conscious. They want to protect their families and themselves
against theft, rape and other crime.
Consequently, more and more
people are installing CCTV and surveillance cameras at their homes and offices.
This is a low investment and high returns small business idea.
9. Party services
People
hold parties for various reasons. They are held round the year to celebrate
birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions. With this low investment
business, you can offer various services.
These include decoration of
the venue, conducting games, mascot appearance, buying and packing return
gifts, among others.
10. Manpower supply
Every business requires
more manpower almost on daily basis. This is especially true with restaurants
where staff attrition rates are rather high.
Waiters and cooks leave at
short notice or merely abandon work. This puts the business owner to great
inconvenience.
11. Gardening services
Individuals and housing
societies owning gardens generally are unable to attend to their favorite and
sometimes expensive plants, trees and lawns.
Therefore, they look for
small businesses that can perform the required task.
You will need to invest in
some gardening equipment and hire manpower to enter into this small business,
which is also round-the-year in demand.
12. Corporate gifts
India has a rich culture of
corporate gifting. It continues round the year. Corporate gifts include pens,
wallets, mugs and a wide range of stuff given to staff and business associates.
Usually, these items are
printed with the company’s name and logo. With adequate samples and contacts,
you too can open this business with low investment.
13. Idli and dosa batter
The mainstay of south
Indian communities, Idli and Dosa are now popular across India. However, not
everyone can prepare the batter required for making these dishes.
It requires a proper blend
of rice and cereals.
The batter has also to be
fermented to the right degree to ensure it gives great tasting Idli and Dosa.
Packaged Idli and Dosa
batter is fast becoming popular, with most stores stocking several packets for
their customers. Setting up a batter manufacturing unit from home or a small
premise is fairly inexpensive.
14. Renting scooters and motorcycles
Tourists, salesmen and
small business owners look for hiring scooters and motorcycles while visiting a
town or city.
Renting such two-wheeler
saves them precious time and offers the ease of commuting. With a small
investment, you can open a scooter and motorcycle rental business.
You need not rush into
buying a fleet of vehicles. A couple of two wheelers will suffice to begin
with. However, you will need to get proper licensing, insurance and permits
before renting out these vehicles on short term basis.
15. Homemade chocolates
With some chocolate making
skills and little investment, you can enter into this highly profitable small
business idea. Homemade chocolates are sold by almost every major pastry shop
and gift store.
They are in high demand since their taste is much different from bulk manufactured varieties commonly available in the market.
