New Startup Business Ideas

If you’re buying a business, ensure it has some customers and trading history already to ensure the product, service, website and payment system work.

Below is a list of business ideas and services you could start to earn extra income in 2019, maybe working  from Home.

Work From Home Businesses


1. Start a household cleaning business

The lower your outlay, the faster you turn a profit and that’s one of the big attractions of launching a domestic cleaning business.

2. Start your own dog walking business
A dog walking and pet sitting service can also be set up with minimal investment. With a Facebook page and a few ads in shop windows and word of mouth you can get going quickly. From dog-walking through beautiful locations to premium pet care businesses, there's a gap in the market for entrepreneurs who can meet owners' high standards. Think childcare for pets!

Many hairdressers dream of starting their own businesses but are deterred by the cost of renting a salon. Setting up a home visit service can be an ideal way forward.

Spotting a big domain and snapping it up for a small price can be the route to big money. You can even put watches on domains, so you get alerted when they’re about to go back on the market. Check out www.namecheap.com to buy and sell plus eBay. This can be risky and no guarantees.

5. Get paid to take surveys
Earn as high as £35 for completing a survey.
