According
to U.S. News's starting a business has always been a bold, risky move.
Even in good economic times, the failure rate of new small businesses
is high. But a well-conceived business can always catch on. Below is a
list of small businesses that are perfect to start, right now.
Home Healthcare
- the millions of baby boomers who are beginning to retire now and
seniors want to stay in their homes and be more independent. Small
businesses can offer the human touch and specialized service that
larger ones may find hard to provide.
Energy Auditors
- Businesses and homes need help to save money by reducing energy costs.
Professional
Tutors - In the increasingly competitive field of education and sports
development, parents are willing to pay top dollar to give their kids
the individualized attention that the major test-prep companies maybe
cannot.
Computer Security
- While virtually all security consultants employ computer technology
in their work, the computer security niche specifically involves
protecting computer systems and networks themselves against
unauthorized use and abuse. A computer security consultant often
specializes in particular operating systems such as UNIX, LINUX or
Windows.
