Zero-Investment Business Ideas

We present you good ideas so you can set up a business with very little investment.

Consultant:

Those services that you have been providing for a company can now be provided on your own. Take advantage of your training, experience and the contacts you have built up throughout your professional life. Focus on one aspect and become a reference. SMEs should be your potential client. Become their personalized advisor. Here, the only costs you will have are representation costs. You can work from an office or from your own home.

Strategic advisor for SMEs:

This is the strategy expert who helps small and medium-sized companies in making decisions focused on growth and consolidation. As in the previous one, the costs you will have are minimal. You should have office, telephone and transportation. These three items should be adaptable to your resources.

Financial manager:

Many companies lack minimum and basic knowledge to effectively manage their cash. We propose that you become the financial manager of other small businesses. The costs are similar to the previous ones. You will only need to invest in good management software.

Search for financing:

Companies have trouble finding sources of financing. If you are a professional with extensive financial knowledge and good contacts in institutions, entities and investment companies, this job is for you. You will not only have to find financing, but also advise your clients on how to present a business plan.

Monetization expert:

How we are going to make money with our project is one of the least consistent and worked parts in most projects. We propose you to be a designer of viable, profitable and scalable models for startups. For this, you should have experience in markets such as the United States, Japan and Israel.

New customer and market hunter:

You can offer yourself to other companies as a hunter of profitable customers for their business and new markets to export to. You must have a cross-business vision of markets, as well as the effective use of social networks.

Product importer:

You will need to first assess the acceptability of a product and its adaptation to market conditions. Focus on small, lightweight products, which will make them more expensive to import and, therefore, your profitability. Be especially careful with those products with very stringent controls.

Conversion funnel expert:

You will become a conversion funnel expert, able to transform followers into customers and build customer loyalty.

Talent headhunter:

Specialize in a market, locate professionals who are unemployed and become their manager. Work successfully, charging companies that hire your professionals.

Technology transfer expert:

Technology transfer is an interesting business opportunity. There are companies dedicated to investigate what RDI (Research, Development and Innovation) centers are working on, in order to find a commercial use for those developments. We propose you to establish collaboration agreements with RDI centers to evaluate and provide a commercial outlet for their innovations.

Teacher of extracurricular activities:

In different autonomous communities, public schools have increased in the last two years the fees they charge their students, thus reducing enrollments. We propose you, if you have the knowledge to do so, to offer yourself as a teacher alone or together with other teachers. You can do this with the use of facilities or at home.

Logistic 'Trader':

We propose you to operate only as a trader, as a link between those who offer and demand a freight forwarding service. You can negotiate agreements with different logistics companies to get competitive freight rates that you can then offer to your customers: small and large companies.

Second-hand product manager:

Clothing has also found another niche in the second-hand market, as it did years ago in markets such as England and the United States. Specialize in finding everyday products that can be sold without difficulty in second-hand markets, such as furniture, household appliances or sporting goods, which have many fans.

Spare parts broker:

There is a growing trend (largely driven by the crisis) to fix products instead of replacing them with new ones. You will find an opportunity in the aftermarket. You will have to go out into other markets and become a broker for buying and selling spare parts for household appliances, vehicles or electronic devices, among others.

Computer technical support:

If you have computer engineering skills, offer your specialized services to SMEs, many of which do not have IT departments. You could offer a flat-rate service.

Content generator:

The Internet is overflowing with content, but not of very good quality. If you consider yourself an expert in any subject and you have good sources, offer yourself as a quality content generator for corporate websites of companies and institutions.

Migrator' from web to mobile:

The cell phone has become, in many cases, one more appendix of the human being. There are platforms that help companies to migrate their websites so that they can be viewed on mobile devices. This type of business is in very good demand. And in the coming years, this trend will be much more growing.

App for online stores:

There is an opportunity in the development of apps that make it easier for users to service online stores. Of course, we are referring to all those thousands of 'small' online stores, which could do with an app.

Photography for e-commerce:

A stroll through the Internet is enough to see the poor quality of many of the photos that hang in the windows of numerous online stores. We recommend that if you choose to offer this service to small e-commerce stores, you do it also with those online stores located in provincial capitals or small towns, where some existing photography companies can not offer these services.

Software for `e-commerce':

The best way to buy through an online site is to feel the product. Beyond photography, we suggest becoming a developer of 3D or augmented reality software that helps e-commerce companies sell their products more easily.

We have already told you about some of the businesses that can be created with little investment. So, let's get to work!
