Whatever it is, make sure that you have a competitive advantage over the opposition.

If you can't do it better, cheaper, at a more convenient time, or in a more convenient place... or SOMETHING which will make customers choose you over competitors, then you may as well just burn your money now.

This is also worth checking out.
 
whats she handy at/ passion ?
 
I have a buisness idea with low start up costs, high profit margins & its easily done from home
 
me and missus open our new business on the 5th of Jan. when we get shutters fitted at the shop. one thing i forgot about starting is how scary it can be taking the step and the effort and time you have to put in.

the one thing i would say is do something you like if you can so you can draw on from knowledge you already have.

were opening a fancy dress and party shop. incorporating Flea bay, Amazon aswell and once funding comes through end of Jan (hopefully not later) our own eccormerce site
