If you had money to start a business

[shoebag]

I have a lump sum I completely hate my job what can I can do from home? Ideas please I don't want to dog walk I already have 3

What are your interests/skills? Simplest would be buying/selling on eBay?

Starting a business doesn't always require cash.
I started my current business 4 years ago with around £50.
My revenue is now just under VAT threshhold.

Mine is buying and selling magic the gathering cards, decks, dice, playmats, then possibly expanding to other games, but that's my core, and when new sets released, selling individual card's or themed sets, etc, yes there is lots of competition, but it's a business id enjoy, as long as.my capital reserves could finance the business for a couple of years, until I hopefully turn a profit.

Ah this is the kind of person I wish I could be, sadly I lack imagination lol

I think considering yourself in a positive light is a huge step towards success in business.

Look at business selling sites.
you could either buy an established business or people sell start ups. Maybe look at franchise too.

There’s lots you can do from home but it really depends on your strengths/weaknesses/likes/dislikes.

so, what inspires you and gets you excited?

Hi speakout can I ask what industry you are in?

I make and sell craft items. Not sure if that is an industry.
Quite a niche market though for the type of stuff I produce.

It is perfectly possible to run a business/be self employed without paying an accountant.
I have been a sole trader for 18 years and never needed an accountant.
If I have had a query I have found gov.uk help lines very helpful.

You could also look at buying a no code business - couple hundred quid for an idea and a digital product https://www.nocodesale.com/products
