Chocolate, a delicious business | Business Ideas

| 0 comments |

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.


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).


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 %.

Luxury perfume boutique | Business Ideas

| 0 comments |

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.

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.


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).


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.

Bio products - healthier food | Business Ideas

| 0 comments |

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. You can buy all kind of bio products, from fruits, to bread, to sweets.


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.

I wish you good luck!!!

Rent luxury items | Business Ideas

| 0 comments |

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.



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.


You can expand in many domains like rent jewelry, rent cars (Ferrari, Bentley. Maseratti, Rolls Royce), rent dresses for special events, rent watches.

Good luck!!!

Rent a limousine | Business Ideas

| 2 comments |

Everyone wants to go to a limo, but few do. 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 $).



The clients are regularly VIPs and business people that want to travel in style. You can start with one limo and you as the driver, and then can buy more when the business rises. The only inconvenience that you will have is the gas price that is rising. You can advertise in hotels, and luxury clubs / restaurants.

Diet restaurant - Healty business | Business Ideas

| 0 comments |

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. They all day sit at a desk, drive, watch TV and eat. Obesity is now a disease affecting millions of people all around the world. I have read an article about healthy fast foods; why not make a diet restaurant?? This restaurants target will be not only people who have weight problems, but people who have hart disease and different other illnesses and need to get on a diet.


Didn’t you feel strange when you went to a restaurant and you ordered stake and some of your friends aren’t allowed stake. This kind of business will need a substantial amount of money probably 100.000 - 500.000 depending on the location, employees, size and quality. It is basically a restaurant, so you have to run it like one; the only difference is the menu, specially made by a nutritionist.


This menu should has to have two parts, for people who wants to lose weight and for people who are not allowed to eat certain dishes. I think this kind of business will be a success and there will be plenty of customers. So, good luck!!!

Towing company | Business Ideas

| 0 comments |

I know that this isn’t the most interesting business idea that I presented so far but it is a profitable one. This kind of business is very good to start if your country has a good economic growth and the registration of cars is growing year by year. 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).

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).

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 $) and the second hand platform about 2000 - 5000 euro (2800 - 7000$).

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.

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.

But unfortunately this business has some weak points - price of gas and the congestion in the big cities.

Aquatic club for children | Business Ideas

| 0 comments |

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.

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.

Your clients should pay a fee of about 200 euro (290$) per month, but the fee may rise if the clients will chose to have more sessions. For a club with a surface of about 200 sq feet, you could have about 150 children. Your annual turnover will be around 400.000 euro / year. (570.000$)

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.

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!!

Free info kiosks for tourists | Business Ideas

| 0 comments |

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.


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.


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.


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.

A sports gym for children | Business Ideas

| 0 comments |

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.

You can combine the gym service, with after school service. Children can do their homework, let’s say 2 hours and exercise 30 minutes.

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.

A restaurant that allows dogs | Business Ideas

| 0 comments |

Just think of how easy it would be for you, to go out in the evening and get your dog with you. Clients are encouraged to come with their dogs. In the restaurant the dog will have his own special menu, with a variety of dog foods. The dog will be served in an elegant bowl.


Or if you don’t want to make a restaurant only for dog owners, you can just arrange a part of the restaurant, so you can accept clients that come with their dogs.


I think that this could be a good niche business idea, that targets dog owners. In this way the dog can socialize and the owner as well.
