There are tons of business ideas that you can execute without much capital investment and close-to-none fixed costs. Here are some of the best ideas that require small capital and offer high ROI.

Travel Planner

For those who are adventure enthusiasts, can commence travel planning services with extremely low or no start-up capital. Travel planning includes no fixed costs and very low variable costs, and that’s the best part. You can plan tours for others and charge commission over the total cost from the comfort of your home.

Home Caterer/Event Planning

Home catering is actually quite a profitable business these days. People tend to seek assistance for events these days hence there’s a significant demand for home caterers and event planners. You can collaborate with someone or hire a few individuals to assist you with business and can include cooking, serving, and decoration in your package. 

A home catering business requires low start-up capital as you’ll only need crockery, which you can rent and some food supplies initially. These things don’t cost much and you can make a good profit by charging whatever you think is appropriate to your customers.

This business includes zero fixed costs and some variable costs to buy food inventory and buy/rent/replace crockery. 

Moreover, as people tend to spend more and more money on weddings, home caterers and event planners can earn a handsome amount as the ROI in this kind of businesses is quite high.

T-Shirt Printing

Printed or graphic T-shirts are quite popular these days, and consumers usually pay high prices for custom T-shirts. You can either create a series of t-shirts to target mass market or can offer customized T-shirt according to the requirements of your customers and go for niche marketing.
