Product/service description

The business focuses on installing solar panels in open fields and rooftops of buildings in order to generate electricity. It will also provide future maintenance to all the panels installed.

Market Scope/Potential

With the rise in population, electricity consumption has also increased a lot. Therefore, the cost of electricity has also been continuously going up. Many of the villages do not even access to electricity. Installation of solar panels is an economical and eco-friendly way to sort out this issue. It only needs a one-time investment during installation. Recently, the government has also been promoting solar electricity so that everybody can have access to electricity at a very economical rate. The government has been encouraging people to start the business in the field of solar energy to help the entire country to get electricity. Looking at the current scenario, starting a solar panel installation business seems to be a wise idea.

Opportunities

The government is supporting people who want to enter the solar energy business.

This business requires a moderate amount of investment.

The business needs to tie up with solar panel manufacturing companies. These companies train people about the entire process of solar panel installation.

The business can be started in small office space.

Risks

The business must be registered, and some basic formalities need to be completed before initiating.

A team of skilled workers is required to manage the entire work.

Good promotion strategy is required to advertise the business.

The business is still in its nascent phase and has a lot of potentials to grow.

Entrepreneurial qualities

Anybody who wants to start this business must have an idea of how this industry works. He/she should have the money to start the business. A certification in solar panel installation is mandatory. The person should also be able to manage a team of workers and establish a good relationship with everyone to grow the business.

Conclusion

Solar panel installation business is a new field with not much competition. Since the government is also helping people to start this business, it is the right time to take up the opportunity and make the most of it.

Product/service description

The business focuses on manufacturing of corrugated packaging boxes for various purposes. It will cater to the needs of different companies and make customized boxes as per their demand.

Market Scope/Potential

Any kind of item that is transported from one place to another is packaged properly to avoid damage. Corrugated boxes are universally used to package all kinds of products. However, since different items need different kinds of packaging, the corrugated boxes need to be manufactured according to the items’ needs.

So, starting a packaging box manufacturing business can be profitable if promoted well.

Opportunities

The demand for packaging boxes is high.

The business is highly profitable.

The manufacturing process is simple.

Only a few raw materials are used to manufacture the packaging boxes.

The raw materials are readily available in the market at a reasonable price.

Risks

The business needs to be registered and a license must be acquired.

Special permission from the pollution control board is also required.

A large area is required to set up the manufacturing unit.

There is a lot of competition in the market.

Trained people are required to operate the machinery.

Entrepreneurial qualities

A person who wants to start a packaging box manufacturing business must have a huge capital for initial investment. He/she must also have an experience of working in the paper industry. A good relationship with paper manufacturers will help in getting the raw materials at a reasonable rate. The person should also be good at planning the business to gain maximum profit.

Conclusion

A packaging box manufacturing business is a highly profitable business, but it needs huge investment, an experienced team of workers and a good promotion strategy.

The business aims at renting as well as decorating live Christmas trees for homes, offices, shopping malls, and other organization. Delivery of the trees will be provided on the dates specified by the customers. Orders will be taken online, and customers will get the freedom to customize the tree decoration as per their liking. After the festival, the trees will be taken back to the nursery by the business personnel.

Market Scope/Potential

Christmas tree decoration is an age-old tradition and it is gaining more and more popularity in recent years. However, most of the trees that we find around us are artificial. Since real Christmas trees have a charm of their own, it is better to switch over to renting a real tree to enjoy an eco-friendlier Christmas. Therefore, if a business focuses on renting real Christmas trees to people, it will definitely make a huge profit. Providing decoration services will be an added advantage because it will be greatly advantageous to people who are not able to decorate their trees themselves.

Opportunities

The business does not have much competition.

The profit in this field is good.

It is an eco-friendly business.

Risks

A team of people is required to assist in the delivery, decoration, and removal of trees.

Maintaining the live trees is a little difficult.

While in the nursery, the trees must be maintained the whole year by regular watering, manuring, and pruning.

Real tees are costlier in comparison to the fake trees.

Entrepreneurial qualities

A person who wants to start this business must have a basic idea about the maintenance of Christmas trees. He /she should be able to build a team to assist in the transfer and decoration of the trees. The person should also have good marketing and networking skills to increase sales.

Conclusion

The live Christmas tree rental business is an innovative idea that will not only help in earning a good profit but also in protecting the environment. If properly marketed, the concept will soon become popular.

The business focuses on establishing a small RO plant to purify water and supply it to nearby houses in 20-liter cans. The plant will have its own borewell for a continuous supply of water. It will also have its own vehicle for the transportation of the cans.

Market Scope/Potential

Water is a necessity. Life is impossible without water. However, due to the increase in the pollution, groundwater or water from any other source cannot be drunk without proper treatment. Therefore, water treatment plants are becoming very popular. In these plants, water can be easily purified on a large scale and supplied for drinking.

Considering the high selling price of the purified water, the business seems to be very promising at present.

Opportunities

Pure drinking water is an absolute necessity.

The business yields a good profit.

The process of water purification using the RO plant is very simple and can be easily learned.

The size of the plant to be established depends on the amount of capital a person has.

A second-hand vehicle can be used for transportation.

Risks

A commercial power supply is required for the plant.

A personal borewell is required for the continuous supply of water.

Open space is required to establish the plant.

A generator is required for power backup.

Acquiring a license is a must before starting the business.

Since the treated water is to be used for drinking, proper hygiene needs to be maintained.

Personalized labels should be posted on the bottles for advertisement.

Entrepreneurial qualities

Any person entering the field of water purification business must find an open space for the installation of the plant. He/she must also have the required capital to start the business. Since the business has a lot of competition, a good marketing plan is very important for growth.

Conclusion

These days, as water has a lot of impurities, establishing a water treatment plant to sell drinking water has become a very popular business. Since hygienic potable water is an absolute necessity, the demand for drinking water is increasing continuously.

Product/service description

The business will focus on the recycling of old tyres by the process of retreading. Under this process, the old tyres will be cleaned, treated with chemicals and then covered with a new sheet of rubber. All the processes will be done with the help of specialized machines and the old tyres will be made usable again.

Market Scope/Potential

As the number of vehicles is increasing each day, the demand for tyres is also rising. A new tyre has a life of a few years after which it usually becomes old and unusable. The process of retreading helps such old tyres to be used again. This process is very useful because it helps in reducing the rubber waste accumulation in the environment. Moreover, the retreaded tyres are available at around 50% less cost when compared to the new tyres. This makes retreaded tyres far more economical. Looking at these advantages, there has been an increase in the demand for retreaded tyres recently. So, this business has good prospects.

Opportunities

The process of retreading is simple, and it can be learnt by being in the field for a few years.

The business helps in reducing rubber waste from the environment.

It helps in reducing pollution that is caused by the manufacture of new tyres.

The business is still emerging, so there is less competition in the field.

The business yields a good profit.

Old tyres can be easily sourced from vehicle service centres, factories, bus depots, etc.

Risks

The business must be registered, and a license needs to be acquired before starting.

A minimum of 4000 sq. ft. space is required to start the business.

Skilled machine operators are required to do the job in a professional manner.

A three-phase power supply is required.

Entrepreneurial qualities

A few years of experience in the field of tyre manufacturing business will be beneficial for anyone wanting to start the business. Good networking with vehicle service centres, puncture shops, heavy vehicle owners and factories can help to get a good number of old tyres that can be retreaded.

Conclusion

The tyre retreading business is a new concept. People have started appreciating the potential of this business. The government has also made new rules, which have eased out the process of establishing the business. Once the people are completely aware of the utility of the retreaded tyres, the business has a great future.

Product/service description

An electrical contracting business specializes in providing electrical services to government and private organizations. The business mostly deals with the installation, repair, maintenance and upgrading of electrical systems.

Market Scope/Potential

Electrical systems are an important part of our infrastructure. Their installation and maintenance need special supervision. This is a job of great responsibility and commitment.

Though the business requires a lot of networking, the profit margins are generally high.

Opportunities

The profit margin is good.

The business does not need much investment.

Small businesses can also acquire big contracts if the service provided by them is good.

Risks

Acquiring a license is mandatory before starting the business.

Care should be taken to build a team of qualified people.

Marketing and networking are two essential elements that will define the success of the business.

A professional training in this field will definitely be advantageous.

Entrepreneurial qualities

It is always beneficial if the person starting an electrical contracting business secures a certification in the field. Obtaining a license from the government is also mandatory. Having a previous experience in the field of electrical services will be helpful. He/she should also remain updated about all the modern techniques being introduced in the field.

Conclusion

Electrical contracting business requires a lot of hard work, dedication and responsibility. Ensuring the safety of the people must be the contractor’s main task and it should not be overlooked in an effort to reduce the budget of the project.

Market Scope/Potential

Cotton ginning is the first step in the processing of cotton. It involves removing of seeds from the cotton and forming cotton bales. The entire cotton textile industry is based on cotton ginning. Since the cotton ginning industry relies on agriculture, its success completely depends on the yield of cotton. The industry also faces serious competition from synthetically produced yarn.

Opportunities

The demand for cotton textiles will never fade away from the market.

It increases the scope of employment.

Risks

The ginning mill must be located near the cotton fields for the easy transportation of raw cotton from the field to the factory.

Proper storage facility should be available, as cotton bales get spoilt by heat and rain.

Cotton mills can easily catch fire, so the walls of the mills should be fire insulated.

Entrepreneurial qualities

In order to start the business of cotton ginning, the most important thing that a person should have is good capital. He/she should also have a good experience in running a manufacturing unit and managing a big team of people. To enhance the business performance, marketing skills of the person should also be good.

Conclusion

Cotton ginning mill business is a capital-intensive business. Its success depends on the production of the cotton crop and the marketing of cotton textiles.

Product/Service Description

Establishing a small-scale industry to manufacture laundry detergent and dishwashing liquid that will later be sold to wholesalers and retailers.

Market Scope/Potential

Detergents and dishwashing liquids are one of the highly demanded items in the chemical industry sector. A recent survey states that the demand of these products will rise even more in the coming decade because of the increase in population.

2. A small-scale manufacturing unit can be established with a less capital.

3. People are not brand obsessed while buying these commodities.

4. These commodities are non-perishable, so they can be stored easily.

5. A 1000 sqft. space is enough to open the manufacturing unit.

Risks

1. There’s a huge competition in the market.

2. The manufacturing unit should be established in an industrial area.

3. Transportation facility is required to carry the finished products from factories to shops.

4. Different kinds of license are required to start a chemical industry.

Entrepreneurial qualities

It would be beneficial if the person entering the business has a previous experience in the chemical industry or is a chemical engineer. Apart from this, the person should also have a smart business plan that can enable him/her to compete with the already established brands in the market. Advertising the product through digital and print media can also help in increasing sales.

Conclusion

Since detergents and dishwashing liquids are in high demand in the market, establishing a small-scale manufacturing unit for this commodity gives an opportunity to do a good business and earn a great profit. However, competitors and marketing strategies must be taken care of.

2. Investment required is less.

3. There's an infinite scope of being creative and artistic with the work.

4. Training in tattoo art is not very vast or tedious. Any person who is passionate about the art can learn the techniques.

5. As there's a lot of demand for good work, a skilled artist can make good money out of this business.

Risk

2. The tattoo studio should be in a place where the population around is young, as tattoo art is common amongst the younger generation.

3. Proper marketing is required to spread a word about the tattoo studio. Good customer feedbacks will also help a lot.

4. Tattoo artist needs to be very patient, skilled and hardworking, as this work requires a person to sit and stay still for a long period of time.

5. The instruments used should be sterilised well in order to avoid any infection.

Entrepreneurial qualities

Product/service description

Sell a variety of plants that can be grown in pots, seeds of vegetables and flowering plants, organic fertilizers, pesticides, gardening soil mix, homemade compost, decorative pots, gardening tools and accessories. The business will focus on the gardening requirements of apartments, offices and other small spaces.

Market Scope/ Potential

These days, as the environment is degrading, growing plants has become a necessity. However, not everyone has a big land to grow trees. People living in apartments and small spaces need plants that can easily be grown in pots and require less effort and maintenance. Therefore, a nursery which specialises in selling plants and other materials mostly suitable for small balconies can flourish easily. Homemade compost is again an elixir for the plants. A nursery that sells genuine homemade compost can make huge profits.

Opportunities

1. The competition is less. Though there are nurseries selling plants and other stuffs, they generally focus on big gardens. Nurseries focusing only on potted plants and small spaces plants are less. Moreover, the supermarkets that sell plants and garden accessories are very costly and not many people can afford them.

2. Not many nurseries sell vegetable seeds that can easily grow in pots.

3. The investment is less and nursery can be easily started if one has a little backyard space.

4. Initially, the plants can be bought from a whole seller, but later the many of them can be easily propagated at home.

5. Organic compost can easily be made at home by just using kitchen scraps.

Risks

1. Some plants need special care and can die if proper conditions are not given.

2. Watering and fertilizing of plants are necessary and one has to do it diligently.

3. The soil of the pots gets dried up very easily during summer months.

4. There should be a proper place to store decorative pots and garden accessories, otherwise there is a chance of them being spoilt.

5. Plants take time to grow so immediate huge demand of a particular plant cannot be fulfilled.

6. Homemade compost takes about three months to be completely formed, so the production takes time.

7. Seeds can be spoilt by worms if they are not stored properly.

8. Plants can be attacked by pests.

Entrepreneurial qualities

To start a nursery one does not need any specific qualities. Anyone can start a nursery, if he/she owns a land and knows a little about the care of plants, composting, making soil mix and propagating. However, a lot of hard work and discipline is required. A little planning is also required to sort out details like where to buy the wholesale stock from, where to store the surplus products, how to attract the customers and how to aesthetically present the products so that people are encouraged to buy them.

Do's

1. All the plants should be properly watered and fertilized.

2. Store all the seeds, pots and tools in a proper place.

3. Propagation of plants and preparation of compost should be planned well in advance so that the stock is always ready to sell.

Don't

1. Don't buy too many plants at a time. Look at the sale and then decide.

Conclusion

This business is for people who have a little land or backyard space, zeal to work with plants, motivation to remain disciplined and business skills to sell the products.

Opportunities

Entrepreneurial qualities

This business does not need a person to possess any special skill. There is also no need to invest a large amount of money. A proper place to store the products and a good marketing plan is enough to enjoy a reasonable profit.

Market Scope/ Potential

Hotels need to maintain an optimum level of cleanliness at all times because only a clean hotel can attract good number of guests. Therefore, all the hotels take utmost care to keep the place sparkling clean. To take care of the cleanliness, a housekeeping department is required.

Making contacts and getting continuous work during the initial days can be challenging.

Do's

Look for new technology and tools that can enhance the efficiency of your work. Keep learning and keep growing.

Value your workers. Your workers are your asset.

Invest in building good customer relationships. This is the only way to get a continuous workflow.

Don't

Product/service description

Sell a variety of plants that can be grown in pots, seeds of vegetables and flowering plants, organic fertilizers, pesticides, gardening soil mix, homemade compost, decorative pots, gardening tools and accessories. The business will focus on the gardening requirements of apartments, offices and other small spaces.

Market Scope/Potential

Vermicompost is a great source of nutrition for the plants. It is much cheaper than the chemical fertilizers and a little quantity goes a long way. Moreover, since it is an organic fertilizer, it neither harms the soil nor the plants. It has a huge demand in the market due to its benefits and also because more and more people want to switch to fertilizers than do not harm the environment.

Opportunities

Vermicompost is easy to make and the installation of vermicompost bed does not need a lot of space.

The tools are a one-time investment.

Vermicompost takes lesser time to be made when compared to normal compost because the worms help in the faster decomposition of waste.

The life of worms is around two years and they reproduce pretty fast so there is a good amount of worms produced if proper conditions are provided.

The raw materials are kitchen waste, cow dung, paper scraps, droppings of birds, paper mill slurry, etc. These things are actually the waste that is available in huge amounts at practically no cost.

Risks

The worms can be attacked by pests.

There is a need to constantly keep turning the mixture and adding moisture. An optimum temperature should also be maintained.

Though the vermicompost has an earthy odour, it can start giving out an offensive odour if all the factors are not maintained properly.

Entrepreneurial qualities

To start vermicomposting, there is no need of any kind of special training or skill. However, working with worms may not sound interesting to everyone. Therefore, this business is only for those people who have a desire to work with the worms and waste materials. In addition, one also has to have a land to prepare the vermicompost beds. Space should also be available to store the prepared compost.

Do's

Chop the kitchen scrap into tiny bits so that it is easier for the worms to decompose them.

Keep the correct ratio of moist and dry material in the compost.

If the compost seems to be very moist, add dry materials like paper, cartons, dry leaves, etc.

Don't

Don't add fresh cow dung to the compost as there is a lot of heat in it. Leave it for a few days so that the heat escapes.

Don't add plastic, glass, metal or any kind of material that cannot be decomposed. This can spoil the quality of the compost.

Don't add onions, garlics or citrus fruits to the compost. Avoid salty food and meat products too.

Conclusion

Vermicompost business is for those people who are passionate about farming worms, are ready to utilise their land to recycle waste and have the skills to sell their products in the market.
