What kind of business can you start for 15K?

[Big Bear]

<sub>maybe buy a large amount of something and re-sale it ?


maybe sell those E-Cigarettes?</sub>

[chilidog]

Depends on what you like to do. When I lived in the States, I use to buy (by the pallet) clearance and returned merchandise (I only bought electronics) from stores like Walmart, Sears, Target, Best Buy etc. I would then list each item on ebay and made a rather nice profit doing it. I started out buying just 1 pallet, listing everything, then buying 2 pallets, etc. Before I knew it, I was buying 1/4 a container, then 1/2 a container.

I would buy the merchandise from companies like http://www.westcoasttrading.com. I loved the business.

There's a magazine called "Small Business Opportunity" that has a lot of home based, online and less expensive franchises listed in the price range you are inquiring about.

[Ralphie Halves]

There are thousands. Just google "cheap small business ideas" and go nuts.

The best IMO is information businesses. No overhead, and you really only pay to advertise and maintain your website, and that's not much. Best ROI you'll find. If you can find 50 people around the entire planet to give you $100/month for your expertise, you could quit your job easily.

15K could get you grow room allowing 72 plants worth several hundred each harvesting over and over

Zero K could get you business worthy of $200 daily with unlimited potentials.

I am almost positive with 15K you could duplicate the Obamacare website.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

go to vegas, bet it all on black.

now with that $30,000 bet it on denver to win the super bowl @ +300.

with that $90,000, get a food truck and start selling some gourmet finger foods or gourmet tacos. gl

I recently started renting out poker tables, aimed at people wanting to host home games, as everyone else in my city seemed to be aiming at bigger markets. And I only wanted something very part time anyway.

It's fun, easy, and has grown into near a full time job in a couple of months.

Spent $80 on the first table and $50 on the first chip set. Total start up costs.

Put a free ad on a local classified site and rented it at least once almost every weekend for the next 5 or 6 weeks at $100/night. So got serious and setup a website and bought some google ads.

Since then bought 3 more tables and about to pick up 2 more tomorrow. Plus Ive bought 20 chairs to rent too. I've spent under $2000 including a covered trailer to store and transport them in. Seems like I should be able to rent 5 or 6 per weekend reliably the way its been going. Which is about all I want to handle by myself anyway. Probably employ someone to do delivery/pickups if it gets any bigger than that.

If you have a vehicle to deliver them in, about $1000 cost for 4 new tables and 4 chip sets and cards is about it to get started with enough equipment to cover a one man operation. Most home games are Saturday night with the occasional Friday and Sunday so can easily be done part time. If you don't know where or how to advertise or setup a simple website maybe add another $1000, but if you have much nouse you can do that part for a lot less to get started too.

Not a big time business idea but I reckon anyone could do it anywhere almost.

And like I said, you can even start with a cheap 2nd hand table and free advert to see if you get the same response I did if you want.

if you're serious it would take about a year of training but 1 mill a year would be the norm after that

[bradthebloke]

checked out that site before. looked like a scam. especially with the forums they have there. You see question and topic after topic looking for help or giving advice over months on end and the threads have no replies or even views. kinda seemed planted. wasnt your experience though?

I never bought from that company itself, so I have no idea on them. Sears was my favorite to buy from - Walmart and Kmart was the worst. You get overstock, returns and clearance merchandise. Walmart and Kmart would be low quality stuff, sometimes broken, destroyed packaging. It was just a nightmare. Sears was perfect.

[greenhippo]

How would you even go about that? Hey Sears you have any returns you want to sell me for cheap? Serious question, I've got a little money myself I wouldn't mind putting into reselling.

you need one year training to suck cokk?

I think this is a great idea! Good for you Optional for coming up with it!

Thanks Chipper. I hope it helps someone.

I wasn't all that smart really. I came up with it by looking for someone to hire me a table for a one off home game but could not so had to buy a table. The free ad was just out of interest when i went to sell it afterward and realized I could rent it out for 1 night for more than I could sell it for. And people just kept coming.

I do that on the side also. My wife works for K-mart and can sometimes get 90% off items. I then resell on Craigs list and make more than 50%. I can also diagnose and repair small engines. She will buy lawnmowers customers have brought back and I will resell after installing a sparkplug, unfreezing a motor someone forgot to put oil in, etc.

I took my small engine repair skills on the road this summer and found a lawn maint guy who needed ALL his stuff
serviced. He had a lot of stuff and still does that needs work. Was making $30 an hour. Advertised on Craigs list.

Also have a truck and a 16' car trailer. Been making deliveries for K-mart. Just did one today.

Use the skills and equipment you have now and build as you go. I'm doing anything and everything. Until I can
get established, I do this under the table. Less overhead.

Don't do vending machines Bear. I've done that. Threw 10k in the trash. Competition is fierce.

I really love Optional's idea, might have to check into that.

[chilidog]

Stores will have contracts with wholesale companies that buy their overstock, clearance and returns. You buy pallets (or truckloads / fractional truckloads) from the wholesale companies. You can buy just about anything the stores sell, I chose electronics.

Just google something like "wholesale store returns electronics" and start doing your research. It's been a good 10 years since I've done this, so I don't recall which companies I used.

[no1here]

License and patients no problem, Doctors easy as can be. Whole process is a joke and cheap! Nobody refused except some felonies.

how does one get a license though?

[no1here]

Plenty of room for growers here with dispensaries buying.

[no1here]

I use reprocast.com for new merchandise to return plus more. most dehumifiers can be return for full refund due to recall. I also buy a ton from two local online auction sites reselling on ebay and craigslist.
