START-UP YOUR OWN SMALL BUSINESS TODAY!! 
1) Van or Truck Services: If you own a van or truck, there are plenty of people who don't but need one every once in a while. You service your labor and van or truck out to move furniture, deliver items, transport individuals to theme parks, carpool, and much more! You can start your business for less then $100 with this one! All you'll have to do is print up flyers and business cards and distribute them to local shops that are in need. Such as furniture shops, gardening stores, retirement homes, and other businesses.
Don't forget to create a page on Yorebiz.com for advertising and promotion as well!
2) Decorative Wreaths: This one is a Seasons favorite! Making decorative wreaths for your friends and family and sell them wholesale or retail. Create a few wreaths for display models that you can take around to gift shops, card stores and other novelty shops that offer those sorts of decoration. You can sell them outright or you may sell them on consignment. See which one you'd like best. The cost for starting up this type of business could range from $100-$200 for ads, flyers and materials. Consider marketing your wreaths to local hospitals, nursing homes, gardening shops and other places that are looking for great decoration not only on holidays but all year around as well.
3) Tutor: Teach others what you know. You'll need about $50 to $100 for flyers to promote your business. A few ads in the local newspaper. Of course posting and promoting from Yorebiz is FREE! Charge your clients anywhere from $25 to $75/hr. or whatever the going rate is in your area.
4) Car Detailing: This may be the simplest but most demanding business idea you could ever  start! You wash, vacuum, clean and wax cars for profit. Visit your local auto store or Wal-Mart and stock up on supplies. Search through to find the best, most efficient products to use. Supplies should run you about $150 max including ads and flyers. You can charge anywhere from $75 on up per car for your high-end, mobile, auto detailing services. Car owners who spend $80,000 on a vehicle don't care much about spending an extra $100 every two weeks for detailing. As long as the job is done nicely you could find yourself heading towards big bank and repeat customers often!
5) Lawn Care Service: Mow, trim, weed gardens and lawns. This type of business calls for a bit of physical labor if you plan to manage and work for yourself. You can always manage your own clients and accounts but hire help to do the actual labor! Of course you may cut into your profit but that will allow you time to gain more accounts not having to spend all day out there in the field. You'll need to equip good mulching mower (one that collects the clipping from blowing), a hedge trimmer, and a spreader for seeding and fertilizing. A truck or car with flatbed trailer attached is required for pulling your equipment around town. charge by the hour or charge based upon a routine schedule (per month). Investigate your local competition to compare rates.
6) Blogging: Yes, blogging is a business. A very big one! Forums, blogs and social media studies are of high demand these days and doesn't require any money from your own pocket! That's right, $0 to start. Create blogs and forums for business owners that are too busy or lack the technological know how to establish them themselves. The internet is a huge marketing tool and you must possess the correct expertise to manage it. Unless you grew up post 1990s, chances are you don't know much about computers and the internet.
Looks like all those hours you spent browsing the net last summer are about to pay off!
7) Translation Service: If you're fluent in a foreign language you can go ahead and start up your very own translation service,which in most cities these days are in high demand! All you'll need is money to advertise. Advertise through the local newspaper, public school and library bulletin boards and any other place where you feel your services might be needed. For your services you can charge by the hr. See local postings for similar services for more competitive pricing.
8) Home Theater and Entertainment Services: There are lots of people in need of home theater installation,especially with all of the upgrades in technology and LED televisions which mounts on your wall. A few ads and word of mouth should really get you going in this business if you're any good at it.
9) Special Holiday Decorative Services: If you have a knack at decorations, particularly for parties and holiday, you can earn a pretty decent living decorating for residence and businesses in your area. You can include the cost of materials in with the pricetag for each individual order. Lights, ladder, candles, etc. Take pictures of your finest work for your portfolio. Later down the road you can actually consider taking on the interior of homes as well as the exterior and hire a few staff members as well. Charge by the hr. or put together a few decorative packages which range from the basic setup to having them pay for "The Works!"
10) Vending Machines: Here's one that I was particularly interest in when I was in college! Purchase and stock vending machines throughout the city, organizations and other establishments. You frequently check in on your machines to make sure that they stay stocked and collect your cash. You can buy your machines, which run for around $500-$1000 each. Or you can rent them out for much less. Before you invest, take a look around in your area at places with machines and establishments that could use them. My advice is find a location and have the owner agree on it before you put the money down for your vending machine.
11) Personal Assistant:Here's one that I tried myself. Being someone else's personal assistant is becoming pretty common these days. There's a higher demand for personal assistants in larger cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago and New York. But other cities should have folks with money and not a lot of time on their hands in need of personal assistants too. Your services might include anything from handling light duties such as dry cleaning, appointment scheduling, answering phone calls, emails, etc. To much larger task such as being a driver, planning fund raisers and events. For more information on requirements, rules and regulations contact Personal Assistant International Inc. at 355 17th St., Boulder, CO 80302 or visit their website at dottie@personalassistants.com or call 303-443-7646.
12) Babysitter: You can create your own business becoming a personal babysitter! If you find that you have a love for children and you would like to spend most of your nights watching other people's children while they are out or on a date. You can either be in school having to do homework or just prefer to stay indoors at times to watch movies or catch up on other personal hobbies. The pay can be GREAT! And you're within a comfortable home setting to work in!"
13) Webpage Designer: Webpage designers make anywhere from $16-$75 per hour, depending on you list of experience in designing and creating websites. You could start off creating websites for yourself until you get the hang of it. Experiment with Adobe flash, Wordpress, DreamWeaver and other applications until you find which one works best for you. Get so good at creating personal/business websites than you can start charging anywhere from $300-5,000 per web project! Webpage design is a heavily demanded expertise now a days with more business being done online it is a perfect time to offer this kind of service!"
