Kids Entertainment

All different activities that keep the kids busy seem to be a good business idea.

From dancing and karate classes to tuition, painting, reading and even making robots is giving money to earn to a lot of people here in Australia.

Parents always want to spend money on their kids and more if they are going to learn something new or develop a new skill, it is a great business idea especially if you are a parent who is always networking with other mothers and fathers who are willing to pay for a service for their lovely children.

Business Idea: Gift Boxes

I was creating a post for my Social Media Blog when I observed on Facebook an ad of Snowgoose Gift Boxes.

Since this is a Entrepreneurs Blog I decided I would discuss this business idea here.

Have a look to what this small business is doing in Australia.

I believe their designs are very cool.

Business Idea: Laser Hair Removal Clinic

While some businesses in the beauty industry are offering a wide variety of cosmetic treatments others have decided to specialise in Laser Hair Removal.

This is a profitable business. Costs are low and profitability margins are high.

The only thing to consider with this kind of business is that investment might be high since laser hair removal machines are expensive.

You can buy cheaper ones from China or get a lease and pay them as you earn.

Business Idea: Manicure Salons

Manicure Salons have popped up everywhere in Australia. It looks like these beauty businesses are doing alright they all seem to have a large clientele specially during the weekends and Thursday nights.

If you find a good location where there is not a nail salon established you might consider setting up one.

You can lease the equipment and pay it as you earn.

Business Idea: Laser Clinics in Smaller Suburbs

It looks like all major busy areas and shopping centres have more than one laser and cosmetic clinic.

Some entrepreneurs are finding their niches and are setting up large clinics to serve those outer suburbs where there are also many women who need these beauty services.

I was surprised when I visited suburbs such as Fairfield, Penrith and Richmond I saw that those ladies are very well looked after by nice laser clinics.

To set up a nice clinic you need some thousands of dollars but returns are good.

Business Idea: National Soccer Teams T- ShirtsT

The World Cup Fever is over but there are still good business opportunities to make money selling the different countries football shirts.

Football fans love to wear them and it can be hard to find them once the fever is over.

Originals or copies they are always good products to sell.

You can create your own shop concept and sell all different kinds of products and souvenirs for those futball fans that buy everything related to their teams.

Business Idea: Healthy Fast Food

Healthy Habits is a fast food concept that offers healthy meals.

You can consider creating your new concept of healthy meals for your food business or buying a francise similar to this one.

I have spoken about the concept of Sumo Salad Franchise before.

This is a good business idea since people are more conscious about what they eat, they need something easy and fast to grab that is not fatty.

Do you think this is a good business idea?

Business Idea: Traditional Customs

Specially in Australia where there is people from many different parts of the world there could be demand of those traditional customs (especially for kids).

You can find some Chinese outfits in China Town and Indian Customs in stores located in Harris Park and Blacktown.

I haven't seen a concept like the one I am proposing: a shop that sells customs from different parts of the world at affordable prices.

Business Idea: Fancy Clothing Boutique

It seems like there is a lot of competition for women's clothing. You can find female clothing shops everywhere and they all make money.

The secret for those fashion shops is to find a niche.

Once you know who to target you can select the right clothes for the age of women that you are aiming.

A fancy clothing boutique is a profitable business. You can sell clothes for those special events where women are prepared to spend larger amounts of money to look great.

It is also true that as a woman it looks like nobody has the right clothing when you are searching for the perfect outfit for that special day.

Know your customers, choose the right clothes for them and your busy will always be busy.

Business Idea: Motorcycle Rydes

Motorcycle rydes is a great way to make extra money for those guys that already have a motorbyke.

Why would this be a good business?

Because you do not have to invest money on the business.

Because you love going out on your bike.

Share the pleasure of ryding your bike with someone who is willing to pay you for that.

Many people would love to go for a motor bike ryde without having to go for the hassles of owning the bike.

Put an ad in the local paper and you will see how you can start making money soon.

I am not very sure if there is a policy insurance for this in case something happens to your clients but there most be one. There is a group of guys in The Rocks Market doing something similar. You might want to ask them or just contact a Insurance Company that might direct you to the right insurer.

Do you believe this is a good business idea?

Business Idea: X-Ray Business

X-Rays are a top need. People that need x-rays just have to get them.

Find a location where there isn't a x-ray centre and you will have all the clients that haven't been served by a local imaging centre.

Investment is not low since x-rays technology is expensive but it is a profitable business. Also consider that Medicare pays part of the bill.

Medical services are always services on demand.

Business Idea: Seafood Shop

Seafood is very popular. People love to eat seafood and it in some locations it is not very easy to find good quality seafood products at a good price.

Australians love seafood and "fish and chips" fast food.

Consider establishing a seafood shop in an area where there is no much competition and you will be making good money with your business.

Expect hard work since this business requires early starts and hard work.

Other things that you might consider is the smell of the fish. Some people say they could not stand it.

Business Idea: Fancy Herbs and Spices Shop

Herbs and Spices are sold at supermarkets.

Some entrepreneurs are taking advantage of this opporunity and have set up a proper fancy shop that sells spices and herbs from different parts of the world. A great experience for shoppers who like to buy these products on a different environment.

Herbs and spices are very profitable and more if you buy them in bulk.

The rent would be expensive but returns are good if you set up your business in an adequate location.

Business Idea: Vitamin Shop

Vitamins Shops are a very profitable business.

It might be expensive to set up a business like this but if you can afford to set it up, it is one of the most profitable businesses to according to the Entrepreneur Magazine.

Business Idea: A Stand in a Shopping Centre

A stand in a shoppping centre is good idea to start your own business in a shopping centre.

Rents are not cheap but you can have the advantage of being on a busy location.

Shopping centres have their own rules so you have to find out first if they would allow you to sell the products that you have in mind.

Business Idea: Phisiotherapy Clinic

Physiotherapy Services were listed as one of the most profitable businesses in 2011 by the Entrepreneur magazine.

Again, when there is pain involved people are willing to pay and do whatever it takes to feel better.

Health funds also cover some of the bill expenses and people suffering from injuries are more motivated to find a specialist that would help them to reduce their pain.

Some clinics like the one we saw on the image offer chiropractic services at the same clinic.

If you like this area, I am sure you can have a profitable business if you manage to hire people with good customer service and a good looking clinic would help you to attract more clients.

Do you find this is a useful business idea?

Business Idea: Home Products Shop

Homes need all different kinds of products, from kitchen to bathroom. Cooking utensils, cleaning devices, bedroom linen. All sorts of home products are required by people.

This business is very competitive since you can find all these home products at the large retailers stores like Kmart and BigW. These companies buy bulk and get very good pricing deals.

You need to find a niche and supply products that are different to what you can find at those retailers shops.

I can see that it is still a good business idea since people also love specialized stores like the one you can set up.

Investment is not low since you should set up a proper shop and your business must have abundant stock to incentive more sales.

Do you believe this is a good business idea?

Business Idea: Dental Clinic

Dental Clinics seem to be profitable businesses. The Entrepreneur Magazine said that services businesses are in the list of the most profitable ones.

Dental clinics can be expensive to set up because of the furniture and supplies required. Rent is also something that is not cheap but once it is set up it is a good business.

Health funds cover some of the costs and cosmetic dental treatments are becoming very popular.

Do you believe this is a good business idea?

Business Idea: Nails Spa

Nails Spas have become very popular in Sydney and I would say in Australia.

Almost all major shopping centres have now a nail salon with foot spa.

Is this a good business?

It looks like they are popular among women. Especially during the weekends you can find them very busy.

The investment is high because you do have to lease a shop in a good location spot like a shopping centre or a busy street where rents are high.

Setting up the place should not be that expensive and you can get finance for the equipment. Those fancy foot spas are not as expensive as they look like.

Staff has to be qualified and you might need quite a few employees when it gets busy.

If you like beauty this might be a good business for you.

Business Idea: Medical Centre

Medical Centres are always a good business. Large or small medical centres always have patients.

Health is one of the major concerns for people and it this need has to be covered.

When you are sick it doesn't matter what you have to pay you go to see a doctor to feel better.

Also Medicare covers part of the bill or the total bill if you do bulk billing.

I have visited many great medical centres and they are all busy.

Business Idea: Baby Shoes Wholesaler

Baby shoes are very profitable if you have the right supplier with good prices and cool designs you will be able to find lots of shops in Australia that would be happy to get orders from you.

Competition is high but there is always room for new ideas at a good price.

New parents are willing to pay adult prices for little shoes.

Franchise Idea: Fitness for Kids

With the overweight problem in Australia it is a great idea to set up a business with a structured fitness program for kids.

Specially during winter when it is hard to take the kids outdoors to get them to do exercise fitness centres for kids are likely to be popular.

Opportunity!

You can link it to a fitness centre for adults so the kids can excercise while the parents do the same.

Investment


Investment can be high if you decide to set up a proper gym with kids facilities but you can start low just by hiring a room at your local community centre and promote your fitness sessions for children.


If you are passionate about children and exercise this might be the perfect job. Earn money by doing what you want.

Franchise Idea: Sumo Salad

The Sumo Salad Franchise seems to be enjoying the preference of many Australians who prefer to go for a healthy option at food courts.

Fast Food doesn't have to be Fat Food. Sumo Salad came into the market offering an alternative for Aussies who just need to grab something to eat that is healthy and yummy.

In most popular food courts in Sydney you can find a Sumo Salad Franchise.

If you are considering a Franchise to put your money in, this is an option.

Expect to bring in a high investment but I assume returns are also high.

Do you think this is a good business idea?

Business Idea: Digital Advertising at Food Courts

Businesses are prepared to pay a lot of money for advertising if you get to prove them that lots of potential customers will see their ads.

I have observed this round thing at shopping centre that are screens loaded with ads that customers at Food Courts get to see.

I assume this technology might not be cheap but returns might be juicy.

Do you think this is a good business idea?

Business Idea: Gloria Jeans Franchise

Gloria Jeans seems to be the favourite coffee of many Australians. Even the famous Starbucks found it hard to compete with.

It might be expensive to buy a Gloria Jeans Franchise but there is no doubt that the business offers a good return if you have the money to invest in a Franchise like this.

You would also have to consider that this Coffee Shops are established at high traffic places where the rents tend to be high too.

Do you believe this is a good business idea?

Business Idea: Clothing Under $10

Selling Clothing Under $10 is a great business idea.

Business Idea: Coffee Shop

Business Idea: Fitness Clubs for Women

Business Idea: Beauty Salons

Beauty Salons is such a good business that there can be a few salons next to each other and both businesses make money from the beauty needs.

Beauty treatments and hair cuts are always on demand in any small town.

If you set up a salon you would have to invest in renting the commercial property and in the equipment.

You can still do beauty treatments from your home or at your clients' homes that is something many beauty therapists and hairdressers do.

Business Idea: Beauty Spa

Day Spas have become very popular in Australia. Women who work in the city search for places where they can get a beauty treatment done at their lunch time.

These businesses offer all different kinds of services. From waxing, quick facials, microdermabrassion, bodywrapping to more sophisticated cosmetic treatments such as Botox and Laser Hair Removal.

Business Idea: Catering for Children Birthday Parties

Business Idea: Nail Salons

Business Idea: Parenting Courses

Business Idea: Scooter Training

Business Idea: Family Photographic Studios

Business Idea: Designing Facebook Pages

More and more businesses are realising how important Social Media in Australia is now.

Competition is high on Facebook to get the likes so businesses have to come up with creative and cool ideas that attract FB users.

There is a need of expert knowledge on designing cool pages for Businesses.

If you have the skills or if you know where to hire the people that could do it why not taking advantage of this growing industry.

There is no much competition since not many businesses are offering this.

You could target small businesses and help them get up and running on Facebook.

I like this idea since this is a business you can start from home.

Business Idea: Distributing Disney Products

Kids love Disney Products and Disney does all the marketing for you.

From cars to princesses kids want to go all Disney.

Clothing, pajamas, pencils, toys, anything that has got Disney on will be sold.

In other countries there are shops dedicated to sell Disney.

I believe you would have to pay high royalties if you want to set up a Disney Shop but you can buy licensed products and distribute them if you don't want to run with the expenses of setting up a Disney Store.

Business Idea: Home Made Cakes

This is a great business idea for those that do not have the money to invest in a large business.

You can start baking cakes from home and selling them among your friend at the beginning. Then you can go and promote them for kids parties and if you want to go bigger you can start selling them to local cafes and convenience stores.

Everybody loves home-made cakes, why not make of this a good business if you like baking.

Business Idea: Kids Furniture

Kids need furniture from all different types. From cheap plastic chairs to fancy wooden bedrooms.

If you get to manage to understand what is the combination of what kids like and parents need you will always have customers buying your pieces of furniture.

Competition?

There are big players out there like IKEA selling good designs at good price but as a mum I can tell you that you don't find many options when it comes to choosing furniture for children.

If you have good design ideas a competitive prices this might be a good business for you.

Buiness Idea: Kids Modelling Agency

Many parents would pay anything to help their kids become famous.

You can take advantage of this money making idea and create an agency that specialises on teaching kids how to model and helping them to be chosen to participate on commercials.

The way most businesses like this do money is by charging the parents a fee to get their kids portfolio. If you can come up with a better idea I am sure you will have high chances to succeed in this business.

Business Idea: Disability Equipment Distributor

This is a business with low competition but maybe high investment. If you know the market well or if you have the contacts that will supply you with the equipment you might want to participate on this profitable niche.

I believe it is a good business since these products satisfy the needs that disabled people have.

Do you find this is a good business idea?

Business Idea: Distribute Beauty Products to Hair Salons

If you know of a great beauty product you might consider becoming a wholesaler and distributing it to beauty salons. This is what many entrepreneurs do. They manufacture beauty products to be sold at hair salons.

Competition is high since many hair and skin manufacturers are trying to get a space at beauty salons but if you manage to create a concept that attracts buyers there are always opportunities to participate on this profitable market.

Business Idea: Aerobic Dancing Fitness School

This other idea proves that any idea can become a business if you have the passion to do it.

Moni at www.aerobicdancing.com.au has put together a program that combines aerobic dancing and fitness so women can exercise and have fun doing some dancing steps to stay fit.

None of the businesses listed here pay me advertising to be included, it is just my passion to find inspiration of real businesses to inspire other entrepreneurs that are considering to set up their own company.

Business Idea: Academy Hair Salon

Hairdressing schools are in high demand, the problem for many students who want to become hairdressers is that they it is hard for them to find a hair salon to practice.

These Five Dock Entrepreneurs found a niche and are taking advantage of the business opportunity.

This is a good business idea: a hair salon that teaches students hairdressing in a real hair salon.

A business idea like this one does require the investment of setting up hair salon but if you already have one becoming a haidressing academy might be something that you want to explore too.

It looks like it is profitable since this business owner has managed to have two salons on the same street.

Do you find this one as a useful business idea?

Business Idea: Cosmetic Clinic

Cosmetic Clinics seem to be a very profitable business these days. We get to see cosmetic clinics everywhere.

They offer anything from Botox for facial rejuvenation to Body Contouring services where women expect to lose fat without exercising. Women are willing to pay high prices for services that make them look prettier.

Have a look to the wide variety of services that these clinics offer on my Beauty Directory

Competition is high but profitability too!

You can start small if you don't have the money to set up a proper shop and buy the expensive equipment by providing treatments at home. There is always a market for beauty!

Business Idea: Authentic Thai Massage

Australians love Thailand and love massage. Why not taking advantage of this and get your customers travel to Thailand in their own suburb?

Some entrepreneurs are already doing in different suburbs in Sydney. In Five Dock I found this Thai Massage Centre where locals can get to enjoy an authentic Thai Massage without having to pay for a flight to Asia.

I have seen another centre like this in Penrith and Wentworthville.

Competition is high in massage but entrepreneurs manage to offer something different that makes them stand out from competitors.

Investment for a centre like this might be high since it is a entire property devoted to relief pain and offer wellness experiences to their customers but you can start smaller just renting a consulting room or going to homes to provide a similar service.

Business Idea: Expensive Clothing Brands Cheap Prices

People love expensive clothing brands but not many have the money to pay the price. I went to Fairfield yesterday to check out businesses and I came across this great business idea.

A shop similar to Best & Less where they sell branded clothing for the whole family at discounted prices.

High Investment

Although they only have selling points in locations that are not close to the CBD Area (where I assume rent is more expensive) they do pay a lot of rent for a store like this and of course setting up a business like this would be very expensive.

Opportunities for small entrepreneurs

If you are a small entrepreneur that doesn't have this large amount of money to set up your business you could travel to China and buy cheap out of season clothing and sell them to your friends or setting up a market stall?

Business Idea: Body Waxing

Although many people believe that the waxing business is history I still believe that there are large opportunities to make money in this business.

Yes, it is true that laser is taking over but not all people are happy to go to laser hair removal. Also not all skins can tolerate laser treatments.

I would not probably set up a business only for body waxing but include it as one of my services in my beauty business for sure.

An ooportunity to star a business from home

If you want to start a business from home this could be a good idea, drop some flyers in your neighbourhood and you will receive more calls than you imagine to get people's epilation done in the comfort of their own homes.

Do you believe this is a good business idea?

Business Idea: Playground Equipment

Kids, kids, kids is what parents care about. If you don't have children you might not understand what this is about... :)

Selling playground equipment is another good business idea. Your options are not only to sell it to the councils for the parks. Many Australian properties are so big that can fit in large playground equipment.

You might start by getting suppliers and putting together an online catalog where your customers can order from you the equipment they need.

If you are clever enough you might be able to get your order and money in advance so you wouldn't have to invest in it.

Does it sound like a good business idea for you?
