Bicycle repair business<\/h3>\n<p>Bike repair continues to be a hot industry.<\/p>\n<p>Many people consider this type of business as a side hustle because it can be done part-time, with a small number of inexpensive tools.<\/p>\n<p>If you are knowledgeable about bicycles and how they work, you\u2019re ahead of the curve. In a recent report, <a href=\"https:\/\/peopleforbikes.org\/resources\/u-s-bicycling-participation-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bikes for People<\/a> found that 1 in 3 Americans rode a bike in the last year.<\/p>\n<p>And with many urban cities adopting a bike-friendly approach, this industry will continue to grow.<\/p>\n<h4>Skills required<\/h4>\n<p>The primary skill needed for bicycle repair businesses is the ability to diagnose and repair bicycle issues. This requires knowledge of various types of bicycles and their components.<\/p>\n<p>While no formal training is required, you might consider comprehensive or niche classes on bike repair at trade schools such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/bikeschool.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">United Bicycle Institute<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><div class=' hide-for-medium hide-for-large'><div style='padding: 10px 32px;text-align: center;background-position: center;background-color: #DA6D5A;background-repeat: no-repeat;background-size: contain;'><h2 style='font-size: 35px;line-height: 1.2;

This is especially true if you already have the necessary tools.<\/p>\n<p>You will need a place to conduct your business. While renting a business location can be expensive, many entrepreneurs start by operating their repair business from their garage or home workshop.<\/p>\n<p>You can also further minimize upfront cash expenses by buying special bicycle parts on-demand as needed by clients instead of keeping them on hand. Just be sure to set clear expectations for your customers about the timeline to anticipate for their parts to arrive and repairs to be completed.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also wise to invest in alliances with bicycling clubs and organizations in the community. Members of these clubs can become potential mentors or clients.<\/p>\n<h4>Market size<\/h4>\n<p>The market for bicycle repair is booming.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/oes\/current\/oes493091.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics<\/a>, bicycle repair is predicted to experience faster-than-average growth of 26% between 2016-2026.<\/p>\n<p>Your location will also have a significant impact on the market.<\/p>\n<p>Regions of the United States that boast year-round moderate-to-good weather conditions will have a stronger market than states with shortened bike-riding seasons.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why we love this business:<\/strong> Bicycle repair is a steady income for those passionate about cycling and working well with their hands. With minimal training and investment, new business owners can see returns on their investments relatively quickly.<\/p>\n<p><div class=' hide-for-medium hide-for-large'><div style='padding: 10px 32px;text-align: center;background-position: center;background-color: #DA6D5A;background-repeat: no-repeat;background-size: contain;'><h2 style='font-size: 35px;line-height: 1.2;

Professional organizer business<\/h3>\n<p>People have too much stuff and not enough space or time.<\/p>\n<p>Professional organizers assist clients in bringing top-shelf order and organizational systems to everything from personal pantries to office filing systems, bedroom closets, to medical records.<\/p>\n<p>Becoming a professional organizer means you&#8217;ll be helping others gain control over their domain, increase personal or professional productivity, create well-structured systems to stay on task, and reduce stress.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re highly organized and enjoy helping others, starting a professional organizer small business may be an excellent choice for you.<\/p>\n<h4>Skills required<\/h4>\n<p>There is no specific education or training required to become a professional organizer.\u00a0 But, you will want to gain experience and knowledge in the organizational niche you concentrate on.<\/p>\n<p>Organizers typically begin offering services after working in other professions, putting their knowledge and experience in that field to good use.<\/p>\n<p>For example, someone with a financial background may consider a financial records niche, whereas an experienced homemaker may be better suited for residential organizational tasks.<\/p>\n<p>Two helpful national associations can help with training and certification:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.napo.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professional (NAPO)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.challengingdisorganization.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Institute for Challenging Disorganization<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>You can also consider certification from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.napo.net\/page\/Certification\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Board of Certified Professional Organizers<\/a> (BCPO) after you\u2019ve been in business for a while, as it requires 1500 hours of paid experience.<\/p>\n<h4>Financial investment<\/h4>\n<p>The financial investment to start a professional organization business at home is very low.

This is non-negotiable for this field.<\/p>\n<p>Pet care can involve walking, feeding, grooming, dispensing medicine, and nurturing a client&#8217;s pet. So, you&#8217;ll need to be able to do all of these tasks.<\/p>\n<p>You may also be asked to travel to veterinary appointments and play dates with pets.

If you plan to start a cleaning business, familiarize yourself with OSHA&#8217;s regulations.<\/p>\n<h4>Financial investment<\/h4>\n<p>Like the other business options on our list, the investment needed to start a cleaning business is minimal.<\/p>\n<p>Plan your service offerings before buying supplies so you spend money on the items you&#8217;ll need. For example, you don&#8217;t need to hire people to schedule appointments &#8211; you can use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gomarketbox.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">appointment scheduling software<\/a> instead and automate this process directly on your website.<\/p>\n<p>And be aware that cleaning supplies must be replaced or refilled over time.
