Advice On Business Ideas:
Consultancies
A consultancy is a great opportunity if you have many years of
in-depth and specialized expertise that is in high demand. Those
consultants who tend to be more successful are those who are in
the later stages of their careers, have developed a rich network
of contacts and references in their industry, and don’t mind
working alone.

Rentals
Rentals are not as easy a way to make money as you might think. On the income
side, the typically modest rental fees don’t seem to amount to much.
On the expense side, you’ve got marketing costs, repair and maintenance
costs, expensive liability insurance, and theft costs. One positive note—periodic
sales of rental items might net more than you paid for them new!

Wholesale
If you’re thinking about opening a wholesale business, think twice!
While it’s easy and quick to reach a high level of sales, you’ll
find it difficult to make money and keep afloat. Most wholesalers operate
on very thin profit margins that are possible only because of highly
sophisticated computer systems and extremely efficient warehouse and
selling systems, tight credit and collections control, and most of all,
a large volume of sales over which to spread overhead.

Advertising
Publishing a magazine, newspaper, or other vehicle to sell advertising
space is very tempting because the profit margins can be very high.
But, no matter how good your product, advertising never sells itself.
Save up a lot of energy, and a lot of money for paying good salespeople.
