Business idea

Didn't find your answer?

Hi I am relatively new here.

I want to know if anyone can assist me, I am a single-working parent and I am currently pursuing the ACCA qualifications. My day job is not really covering all of my expenses and I desperately need to get some more income. My question is does anyone have any ideas of a business venture that I can start, which of course carries a low start up cost? 

I have some ideas but, I will appreciate some more.

All positive feedback will greatly be appreciated.

Thank you,

Ava

A bit daft maybe but I've always fancied the idea of an ebay business - google made in china and there are many companies you can do business with.

For example, buy 10 500GB external hard drives at $10 each, they get shipped using fedex, you pay using either a direct bank transfer or western union and then sell them on ebay at quite a large mark-up. And these things sell - do some market research.

Use the profit to re-invest and build a bloody massive business empire selling many different products all from your bedroom.

Either that or take up a spot of knitting. Either way, call me if you need tax advice :)

Bookkeeping?
I would try and stick with your future plans and start offering basic book keeping services, read the Acca guidelines on what you can do and it's great work exp too, make yourself a few social networking acc fb twitter etc all free and spread word:) best of luck

Not wishing to be negative, but.....

if you are parenting n children AND doing a ? full time job AND studying ACCA are you sure that you will be able to fit in yet another activity and do justice to them all?
