I am talking about exotic animals (tarantulas, snakes, iguanas). </span><span class="fullpost"><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">My business idea is that you make an exotic pet shop and not only to sell animals and food, but to make a mini hotel for owners to leave their animal while they go out of town, to sell medicine (if the animal gets sick) and to offer specialize help and consultation from a doctor if the animal is sick.<br /><br /><br />To make such a business you will need a couple more permits that the regular pet-shop. I am talking about permits that refer to safety in general, because you are dealing with some dangerous animals.<br /><br /><br />I wish you good luck!!!<br /><br /></span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694546299233927502.post-87182428560255001032008-11-13T23:32:00.000-08:002008-11-13T23:51:39.608-08:00Chocolate, a delicious business | Business Ideas<span style="font-size:130%;">Chocolate will always sell, because it`s too good to not eat it. Besides, it`s a medicine and can do good to your health. That is if we are talking about quality chocolate, not the one that is sold in retail chain stores that contains a lot of additives. </span><span class="fullpost"><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">The chocolate that has a high percentage of additives in its composition has a low price and a low quality, but our advantage will be quality. The business that I propose is that to sell quality chocolate. We will sell chocolate that is made from traditional recipes in counties like Belgium, France and Switzerland . The only disadvantage of this business is that the chocolate must be transported in optimum conditions regarding temperature and that the chocolate must be consumed in 20 days (because of the natural ingredients, after 20 days the sweet taste becomes sour).<br /><br /><br />An investment in such a boutique will be around 50.000 $ and it could reach 100.000 $ depending on the suppliers, location and decorations. The profit margin for such products will be around 20-30 %.<br /></span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694546299233927502.post-39826258657090813972008-11-10T13:33:00.000-08:002008-11-10T13:42:28.999-08:00Costume rentals | Business Ideas<span style="font-size:130%;">Has anyone wished to be Superman or Batman, Snow white or a ballerina when they were kids? Now they can by dressing up. This business idea is a niche business idea, that in some countries other that U.S. or UK is unexploited.<br /><br /><br /></span><span class="fullpost"><span style="font-size:130%;"><br />This type of business would not need a big investment from you. For starters if you don’t have a lot of money to invest, you could do a website from where you can rent your costumes. When the business is starting to go well, you can rent a spate to place the shop.<br /><br /><br />Halloween in becoming a global celebration and everyone wants to rent costumes and have some fun.<br /><br /><br />For not depending only on the month of October (Halloween) you can rent costumes to multinational companies or to local companies that have costume parties, or parties with themes. They make a lot of parties across the year. Private parties or masquerades can also bring you nice profits. You can also rent tuxedos or evening dresses for special occasions.<br /></span><br /></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694546299233927502.post-73593751432412815482008-11-07T01:37:00.000-08:002008-11-10T13:43:00.302-08:00Rent a gadget | Business Ideas<span style="font-size:130%;">Have you ever needed a Gps but you didn’t buy one because you had to use it just once and then probably will have sat in its case, never used again?<br /><br />Well, this business idea comes in the help of people who needs electronic items to use for a short period of time. The service is very simple, like we have the “Rent a Car” companies; we could have the “Rent a Gadget” concept.<br /></span><span class="fullpost"><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><br />You could rent a GPS, you could rent portable TV’s, portable DVD players, notebooks, and you could practically rent any type of gadget.<br /><br />Your investment in the company will be very little. Let’s make a short calculation: A GPS gadget costs about 200 $, if you will rent it with 5 $ a day, in 40 days you will get your money back.<br /><br />You could advertise with flyers and with a web site, you could also advertise in campuses and universities.</span><br /></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694546299233927502.post-58924470641005219562008-11-04T01:24:00.000-08:002008-11-10T13:43:21.732-08:00Luxury perfume boutique | Business Ideas<span style="font-size:130%;">This business idea came when I have realized that an important client of mine did not have a place to buy a good perfume. Of course there are the generalist stores that sell perfumes, but I am talking about high – end perfumes.<br /><br />If your country has a high economic growth and the population likes luxury (I mean that if they have the money to buy luxury items) I would suggest that you start a perfume boutique, a luxury perfume boutique.<br /></span><span class="fullpost" style="font-size:130%;"><br /><br />A high –end perfume could cost from 300 $ to a couple of thousand dollars depending on the brand and on the edition (limited edition are more expensive).<br /><br /><br />The investment in such a boutique could start from 90.000 $ (70.000 euro) and could go up to 260.000 $ (200.000 euro) depending on the location, the design of the boutique and how many square meters it has. Your turnover will be around 200.000 – 500.000 in your first year. Don’t worry about the profit; it will come very quick because the profit margin is very good in luxury commerce.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694546299233927502.post-69046802531614563892008-10-31T01:01:00.000-07:002008-11-10T13:43:43.884-08:00Make money from dirty toys | Business Ideas<span style="font-size:130%;">Have you noticed that after a while you kids toys become all dirty.

You don`t know how to clean them, and you can`t buy another toy because your child is emotionally attached to it. Usually a need becomes a good business idea.<br /><br /><br />That is why I come with a new service: cleaning kid’s toys. Either the toys come from household or from companies. You can set up a monthly fee for the companies and a price per toy for the households.<br /><br /><br />When I say companies a mean: kindergartens, medical cabinets for kids, kid stores, stomatology cabinets. They pay a monthly fee and your employees will get the toys and clean them back so other kids can enjoy them.</span><br /></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694546299233927502.post-38055702214286455332008-10-31T00:37:00.000-07:002008-11-10T13:44:14.995-08:00Bio products - healthier food | Business Ideas<span style="font-size:130%;">Either you want to produce bio products or just to be the distributor; I think that this is a great business opportunity. Since people have access to all sorts of information (TV, Newspapers, and internet) they think twice before buying a product that is full of additives. So, even though these products will be a little bit more expensive than the normal ones, they will be healthier. </span><span class="fullpost"><span style="font-size:130%;">You can buy all kind of bio products, from fruits, to bread, to sweets.<br /><br /></span><span class="fullpost"><span style="font-size:130%;"><br />The difference between bio and natural in those bio products are made exclusively natural. That means that the plants used have grown on a farm that didn`t use chemical fertilizer and when the plants were processed they didn’t` used additives. You could start this type of business with just a couple of thousand of dollars, if you want to be just a distributer or a small producer, and it could go up to 100 – 200.000 dollars if you want to be a big producer.<br /><br />I wish you good luck!!!<br /><br /></span><br /></span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694546299233927502.post-15169376884276345352008-10-24T01:05:00.000-07:002008-11-10T13:44:35.190-08:00A new business opportunity, free wireless network | Business Ideas<span style="font-size:130%;">I guess that everyone knows what is a wireless network, so the business opportunity that I have found is very simple. Give free internet wireless access for users. I know that you will ask me how would you get your money back, it`s very simple, by selling ad space. </span><span class="fullpost"><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><br /><br />Let’s say that I use your network and get online using a browser. When I open the browser for 10 or 15 seconds it displays me ads or commercials, and then after that I can navigate for free. From the user it doesn`t imply any cost and you will get your profits by selling ad space. It`s a win-win situation.<br /><br /><br />You will be paid more for displaying ads if you have a precise target. Let’s say that you will install a network in a university campus. In this case your users will be mainly students. Many companies want to have young people as their clients so their ads will be better targeted and you can charge them more money.<br /><br />Good luck!!!<br /><br /></span><br /></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694546299233927502.post-33943568641130649512008-10-24T00:56:00.000-07:002008-11-10T13:44:56.979-08:00Rent luxury items | Business Ideas<span style="font-size:130%;">Everyone wants to be a millionaire but just few succeed. For those who love luxury but they don`t afford buying expensive object, we come with a solution. A business idea that will be a success. Rent luxury items.<br /><br /><br /></span><span class="fullpost"><span style="font-size:130%;"><br />Of course the investment will be pretty high, but I will expect you to recover your money quickly because the market wants this king of products. Let’s say that you are going to a party and you want to have a luxury purse but you only will wear it then and you don`t have the money to spend on an expensive accessory that you will use just once or twice. No problem, you can rent a purse to go to the event, it will cost you 100 times less than if you have bought the purse.<br /><br /><br />You can expand in many domains like rent jewelry, rent cars (Ferrari, Bentley. Maseratti, Rolls Royce), rent dresses for special events, rent watches. <br /><br />Good luck!!!</span><br /></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694546299233927502.post-198533832362727122008-10-05T13:56:00.000-07:002008-11-10T13:45:17.166-08:00Automatic bike wash | Business Ideas<span style="font-size:130%;">You could say that people would wash their bikes at home. I am not so sure of that. In our days people prefer to not get their hands dirty in any way, and prefer to do it as quickly as possible.<br /><br /><br /></span><span class="fullpost" style="font-size:130%;"><br />Bike wash, can bring you revenue of over 20.000 euro (27.000 $) per year. You could have this business as a secondary job or as a secondary business, that would fill your pockets with about 1500 (2000$) euro per month.<br /><br /><br />The system is automatic and works independent, like a vending machine, people put 3 euro (5 $) in a slot and then the system washes the bike. If you live in a city that has a lot of bikes, this could be a good business, around 20-30 people would use your bike wash. The system need just 30 minutes of maintenance a week and you will need to fill up the system with detergent once every 400 washes. </span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694546299233927502.post-72649854217906798732008-09-30T13:42:00.000-07:002008-11-10T13:45:38.765-08:00Graffiti removal, a profitable niche | Business Ideas<span style="font-size:130%;">I bet you have seen a lot of walls painted with graffiti, some of them are very nice, but other is ruining the buildings aspect. Some of the times you can see shops that have graffiti on their windows, and that is not so good for the image of the shop. In some times clients may not enter your shop because of the graffiti.<br /><br /><br /></span><span class="fullpost" style="font-size:130%;"><br />That problem created a niche, graffiti removal. It is a business that you can start with a very small amount of money, under 8000 euro (10.000 $). All you need is a car that carries your equipment, chemical solutions that are environment friendly, 2 workers, and good promotion. You don’t have to start with new equipment, you con start with used equipment, and then extend your business.<br /><br /><br />Graffiti can be removed with chemical solutions, with water jet, or in extreme cases, sand blasting. You can remove graffiti from surfaces like: brick, glass, and metal, wood. As your clients you can have the city council with witch you can have an agreement to protect the local landmarks, statues and historical buildings. Other clients can be small business entrepreneurs who want their shops to look good.<br /><br />You can advertise in outdoor media, and with flyers to keep the low cost of the project</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694546299233927502.post-92202998896239194832008-09-26T01:55:00.000-07:002008-11-10T13:46:00.161-08:00Sending cards, a profitable business | Business Ideas<span style="font-size:130%;">The business idea concept is a very simple one, you send cards from people who are to busy to do it themselves.

Renting a limousine can be a pretty profitable business. You can rent limos to newlyweds, to parties, to hotels for their important guests or high school kids that go to proms. You can buy a used limo with about 30.000 -35.000 euro (45.000 – 50.000 $).<br /><br /><br /></span><span class="fullpost" style="font-size:130%;"><br />The clients are regularly VIPs and business people that want to travel in style.

A business like this cam be started with just 1000 euro (1500 $). The hard part in this business is that you find your first client, because, after that, he will recommend you to other people.

The car is no longer an option because of the traffic congestions and the roads are not getting bigger. So if you are a tourist or just being late and the subway or the bus doesn`t help you get a bike. It`s a healthy and fast way to get around in a city.<br /><br /></span><span class="fullpost" style="font-size:130%;"><br />This could be a very simple business. Let’s take for example Berlin. In the major intersections, there is a place from where you can rent bikes. The bikes are looked with a special locking mechanism that only opens after you pay a fee. The fee costs in sending a text message to the company and the company send you back a code that will unlock the bike. The price is 3, 5 euro (5 $) for an hour, is not much if you think how much easier you can go in traffic.<br /><br /><br />You return the bike, not necessarily from where you picked it up, but from anyplace you could find a company’s “rent a bike” center. The company has between 500 – 1500 clients daily, and the length of a rental is between 50 – 80 minutes.<br /><br /><br />So, what are you waiting for?</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694546299233927502.post-12774759289820230832008-09-17T00:27:00.000-07:002008-09-27T08:14:22.712-07:00A new business opportunity - Dating services for animals<div align="justify">Many people buy different animals and they don`t think on what responsibility this brings them, and what trouble they to put up to in order to mate them. If you have an animal you know how it is. When you wanted to find a partner for your animal, you couldn`t find one. I am sure that you have tried at your local vet and your friend and neighbrow, but no luck. </div><div align="justify"><br /><span class="fullpost"><br />Basically it is a relatively simple business idea. You could create a web site or a local agency, where people who want to mate their animals could find their animals “soul mate”. I know it sounds weird, but it’s a low cost business that could bring you decent profits with minimum effort. </div><div align="justify"><br /><br />For each owner you make a sheet with the animal’s data, and then when a customer comes you have already a database. That database should contain the animal type, female or male, age, the dog owner’s address, the price he is asking.

People don’t get injured because they are protected by a membrane of about 70 cm. The Zorb rolls over a mountain sloop giving the person inside a thrilling ride (it reaches about 50 km / h).<br /><br /><br />The rollover is chaotic, any bump may change the trajectory of the sphere, you can go up, down and left in a couple of seconds. For the business to be a success you have to find a mountain slope, with the length of about 50-100 m, and with not so many big rocks. Once you buy a Zorb the company will give you a complete training on how to use one of this "toys".<br /><br /><br />You will make considerable profits, and make a big splash in the world of extreme sports enthusiasts in your country.</span><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694546299233927502.post-33121926265053943042008-09-11T01:54:00.000-07:002008-11-10T13:50:09.971-08:00Diet restaurant - Healty business | Business Ideas<span style="font-size:130%;">At the moment, all around the world, people have weight problems, due to junk food, or simply because they don’t exercise any more, they don’t walk to work, they don’t take walk in the park.

In Greece this type of chairs are sold with about 50 euro (70$), but they could reach 150 euro (220$) depending on the model and the type of wood that it is being used.<br /><br /><br /></span><span class="fullpost" style="font-size:130%;"><span class="fullpost"><br />The initial investment will be around 3000 euro (4300$), money with which you will have to buy special wood paint, brushes, wood and a wood cutting machine. The design doesn’t have to be complicated, but it’s a good thing if it has to have live colors.<br /><br /><br />People who buy this type of chairs are people with medium income, who have kids, or just want something colorful in their home. You can give them away as gifts for your friends and family. Maybe you could sell the chairs to a kinder garden and make cartoon designs to it. To keep the costs as low as possible, you don’t need a classic shop to sell your chairs; you could make an online shop, and sell the chairs all over the world.<br /><br /><br />To make the chairs popular you don’t have to invest large sums of money, you could make a web site, send companies e-mails and give flyers on the street. Also you could hire Art students to make their own designs and split the profits, even if it a small business you have lots of possibilities in selling them.<br /><br /><br />With all that said, I wish you good luck.</span> </span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694546299233927502.post-82006021987246459852008-09-08T01:05:00.000-07:002008-11-10T13:51:11.355-08:00Towing company | Business Ideas<div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;">I know that this isn’t the most interesting business idea that I presented so far but it is a profitable one.

To that I must add that if your country has bad roads this is a plus :), (I thought I would never hear myself say that).<br /></span></div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"><span class="fullpost" style="font-size:130%;"><br />To start such a business you won’t need much money, but the profitability will depend on your capability to make the company known. That means a web site, flyers, word of mouth, ads in car services, partnerships with car services, or why not make an agreement with the local police (they recommend you to car owners that suffered an accident and in return you tow their police cars for free if they have problems).<br /></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"><br />To keep the costs to a minimum you can start the business by using second hand cars and platforms (in the future you can buy new ones). A second hand vehicle costs around 15.000 euro (19.000 $) and the second hand platform about 2000 - 5000 euro (2800 - 7000$).<br /></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"><br />You have to be very careful when you put a car on the platform, especially if it is new, so you don’t scrape the paint. Usually to avoid such situations you will have to make an agreement with a local insurance company.<br /></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"><br />The prices are usually between 0.50 - 1 euro / km (0.7 - 1.4$ / km). The profits are pretty good if you manage to transport about 30 cars a month. Also you can make profits by transporting boats or other machines that need special care. You can sell ad space on the car, there are insurance companies or services that would like to buy add on your car.<br /></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"><br />But unfortunately this business has some weak points - price of gas and the congestion in the big cities.</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694546299233927502.post-45027928173140521572008-09-06T10:54:00.000-07:002008-11-10T13:51:49.026-08:00Aquatic club for children | Business Ideas<p align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;">A business like this will need serious investments from you. You don’t have to build you own swimming pool, you could rent one from the swimming federation in your country. You will have to send your employees to training so they could get certified. For the club you will need an about 150 - 200 sq feet. </span></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;">The market is formed from people who want their child to learn how to swim in an interactive environment, and the children will have maximum 6 years. You make the club according to your future clients, and if you want older children you will have to make the design according to them. </span></p><p align="justify"> </p><p align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;">Your clients should pay a fee of about 200 euro (290$) per month, but the fee may rise if the clients will chose to have more sessions. For a club with a surface of about 200 sq feet, you could have about 150 children. Your annual turnover will be around 400.000 euro / year. (570.000$) </span></p><p align="justify"> </p><p align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;">I will suggest you should look for an indoor swimming pool so you could have a business not only in the summer but in the winter as well. You will need about 5-6 trainers that will work with the children. </span></p><p align="justify"> </p><p align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;">This is a good business if your hobby is swimming or your city or country has a deficit of swimming pools (if you decide to build the swimming pool). Your profits will be around 100.000 euro (142.000$) per year. Good luck!! </span><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694546299233927502.post-66304883317159139202008-09-06T00:36:00.000-07:002008-11-13T23:52:58.690-08:00Free info kiosks for tourists | Business Ideas<div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;">A new business made for tourists, which will help them find landmarks more easily. If you live in a city that is regularly visited by tourists, you can make an arrangement with the local authorities to allow you to place info kiosks.<br /><br /></span></div><div align="justify"><span class="fullpost"><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">The concept is very simple; thru the touch-screen technology the tourists may find information about different places to visit, landmarks, restaurants, hotels, bars, events, concerts, the weather, buses and train schedule. The system shows contact information for these places, prices, a map of how to get there and even the buses you will have to take to make your journey easier.<br /><br /><br />Your money will come by taking a fee for anyone who wants to make his / her place known thru the info kiosk (restaurants, bars, hotels, beauty salons). The taxes, for the companies that want to advertise thru the info kiosk, are calculated according to the complexity of services.<br /><br /><br />The price for each info kiosks varies from 7000 euro (9900$) to 20.000 euro (28.000$). The price difference is given by the complexity of the machine and outdoor machines are more expensive than indoor ones. </span></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694546299233927502.post-69360153698407289152008-09-04T00:04:00.000-07:002008-11-13T23:54:07.180-08:00Putting company logos on cars | Business Ideas<div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;">You drive your car in the city, when you go to work or simply because you have some business that you have to resolve, why not put your company logo on your car. I think that putting your company logo, telephone number and address is one of the cheapest ways to make your company known. The car inscription business is a good business to start if your country has registered a good economical growth, and many people decided to start their own business. </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><span class="fullpost"></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;">There are two ways to make custom logos and inscriptions: </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="justify"><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">1. With cutter plotter, this king of technology is kind of old, but many people still use it. It is harder because you have to cut manually the letters and the logos. </span></div><div align="justify"><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">2. With a big printer, that could print large pieces so they could be applied directly to the car. </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;">Using the printer is much easier to make complicated designs. </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;">In many countries you will find families that run this kind of business in their spare time because it doesn’t need much money to start. </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>The Investment</strong> </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;">The initial investment will be around 1500 euro (about 2200 $). With these money you will have to buy a cutter plotter, a used one costs about 500 euro (700$) a new one costs 2500 euro (3500$), a computer, a printer, a scanner, a phone and a drawing licensed software (like Corel Draw - 300 euro (420$)). </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>Office Space and employees</strong> </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;">You don’t have need many employees, 1-2 are sufficient in the beginning (to keep the costs as low as possible and the profits high, you could be the only employee). For running your business you will need a small room in witch to put al the equipment. Also you do not need an office or a garage because the work will be done at the client’s garage. </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;">To make a design, you will need about 30 minutes for a simple one and it could reach 3 hours for a much more complicated one. </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="justify"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Profits </span></strong></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;">Don’t expect to become a millionaire if you start this business, at least not in the first 5 years :), but the profits are quite good, every square meter of inscription costs about 15 - 20 euro (20 -30$) depending on the design. From that amount half of it goes into your pocket, that’s about 10 euro (15 $).</span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"> </span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694546299233927502.post-26859637618180558772008-09-01T01:51:00.000-07:002008-11-13T23:53:43.413-08:00A sports gym for children | Business Ideas<p align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;">A think this is a great business idea for parents who want their children to exercise, but not necessarily in a competitive way. You will need to hire specialized trainer for kids so they would not do wrong exercises. To find clients, you can advertise in kindergartens and schools, and you should not forget word of mouth, that could be very helpful. </span></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><span class="fullpost"></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;">You can combine the gym service, with after school service. Children can do their homework, let’s say 2 hours and exercise 30 minutes. </span></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;">In this times when children prefer junk food, and not healthy food, I think that a gym would do well children, and parents will be happy. </span></span></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694546299233927502.post-20197265864478748972008-08-30T01:53:00.000-07:002008-11-13T23:54:31.120-08:00On call car paint shop | Business Ideas<p align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;">I know that you are angry when you see that your car has been scratched in the parking lot. A little scratch can make your car lock badly and you will want to repaint the part that has been scratched. But when you go to a paint shop, and see how muck trouble you have to put up to repaint a little scratch, you give up and leave it like it is.</span></p><p align="justify"><span class="fullpost"><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">I give you a business idea that comes for this problem; it’s an opportunity for business. </span></p><p align="justify"><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">The paint shop comes to you. For little scratches, you can call a company, and they will come and paint your car at your home, or office or right there in the parking lot with a spray, a brush or an aerograph, depending on the scratch. They could make the car color on site, so there are no discrepancies between colors. It is easier, cheaper and doesn’t take for ever to fix it. In 30 minutes the scratch is history. </span></p><p align="justify"><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">I think that many people will become clients of yours, because you will save them time and money.</span></span></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
