Low Cost Home Business Ideas 2: Laundry and Alterations
This is the second installment of my series about ideas for a home
business that can be started with little or no money.
In the last article, we looked at starting a cleaning business. Today
we’ll look at two related home businesses.
1) Home Business Idea: Laundry Business
This home business is great because you can take a skill that you
should already have, and then put it to good use to service people
that do not have the skill, time, or the energy to do it. Offering a
pick up and delivery laundry service just means that you pick one
someone’s clothes, wash and dry them, fold them, and then return the
clothes to their house. The only thing you will need is the soap to
wash the clothes. Be sure to check with your client about any
allergies or personal preferences. Some laundry companies require the
client to provide their own laundry detergent for such reasons.
This business especially tailors to bachelors and the elderly, so you
will want to advertise in places that would attract this type of
client.
2) Home Business Idea: Alteration Service
This is another great home business that appeals especially to
bachelors and elderly people. If you have basic sewing skills, then
you may want to consider starting an alteration service. Alteration
could mean hemming pants, changing seams, or dying clothes.
The only out of pocket expense you will have here is your sewing
supplies: various colors of thread, needles, and possibly a sewing
machine if you are planning on taking on larger jobs.
Since your main focus will be clothing, you will want to advertise at
local clothing shops or department stores. You may also want to
consider talking with businesses that supply uniforms to employees and
offering them a bulk deal of some sort. The business can then
recommend their employees to you if an alteration in their uniform is
needed.
Stay tuned for more home business ideas on a shoestring budget.
