If money were no object and you were starting a business, what would it be?

Just daydreaming here!

I have a tiny (micro) business - pre kids I used to sell my artwork, and now I sell templates for others to make their own. Now my boys have started school I’m expanding my range and then starting on crochet and knitting kits.

I would love to set up a proper business but funds won’t allow what I want to do.

My twins are both autistic and we have so many difficulties finding suitable clothes, toys, etc. I would love to set up a business which designs and makes products suitable for children with disabilities but due to safety issues it would be a huge undertaking and very expensive!

I also have an invention idea which is a redesign of a common household item (there are probably hundreds in every home) which would solve common problems with that item. Sometimes I day dream about getting a prototype made and trying to either manufacture it or license it. Maybe one day :)

I’ve also always dreamed of running a craft bar - where you can go and have a glass of wine / beer and learn to do various crafts, have lessons etc. Probably not economically viable though!

If money were no object, what business would you start?

A cleaning company, either domestic or business.
I’m always surprised how much people are willing to pay to have something cleaned.

Money no object?

Horses.

Breeding, livery, teaching, anything which involves having loads of horses :)

I'd open a cafe that was staffed by ex offenders or other disadvantaged groups and operate as a training cafe, doing functional skills courses and eg. Barista, cleaning, IT, but through the medium of staffing the cafe. A bit like apprenticeships maybe. Money would have to he no object though because I imagine it would operate at a loss!!
I visit a charitable scheme very like this on The Verne, on Portland. It's a fantastic scheme and do an amazing cooked breakfast and their cakes are lovely too!

I’d buy a lovely piece of land with trees round the edges and put up glam ping pods.
I’d live in a beautiful white fronted villa style house at the edge of the land with my own large not overlooked garden.
I’d employ a manager and if I’d drive one of those golf buggies so I get round the site quite quickly if I needed to.
I’d chat to the happy campers..and make sure they were happy.

I’d keep a couple for Disadvantaged families or families with a disabled person that would be very low rent or free even..but any trouble or nonsense from anyone and they would be asked to leave immediately.
