💡 5 BUSINESSES YOU COULD START WITH UNDER £500 You don't necessarily need thousands of pounds to start a business. Here are 5 I'd seriously consider if I were starting from scratch today: 1️⃣ Local Service Business 🏠 Cleaning, pressure washing, gardening, valeting, window cleaning or handyman services. Why? Low startup costs and you can find customers locally. 2️⃣ TikTok Shop / Affiliate Marketing 📱 Create short videos promoting products and earn commission when people buy. Why? You can start without holding stock. 3️⃣ AI Services 🤖 Use AI tools to provide services to small businesses — social media content, videos, basic websites, product descriptions and more. Why? Your main investment is learning the tools and finding customers. 4️⃣ Local Lead Generation 🎯 Build a simple website or social media presence around a local service and generate enquiries for businesses. Why? Businesses will pay for genuine customers. 5️⃣ Reselling 📦 Find underpriced items through Facebook Marketplace, car boot sales, clearance sales or other sources and resell them for a profit. Why? You can start small and reinvest the profits. --- 🔥 THE IMPORTANT BIT Don't try to start all five. Pick ONE. Ask yourself: 👉 What am I already good at? 👉 What problem could I solve? 👉 Who would pay me? 👉 How could I get my first customer? Your turn 👇 If you had £500 to start something today, which one would you choose — and why?
