So you want to make 2021 the year you become your own boss – but you are not sure how? Don’t fret, we have narrowed down all the possible options for you:
1. Virtual assistant
The days of hiring a PA that will be based in the office are in the past; as a result, virtual assistants are in demand. Virtual assistants operate remotely and carry out all manner of digital tasks for their busy clients. This could include everything from carrying out online research, processing data, ordering equipment to much more.
2. Transcription service
Transcription is where you take audio files, listen and convert them into written content. Agencies, newsrooms and other similar industries regularly use transcription services to convert audio and video to written content
3.Equipment rental business
There are times when businesses require equipment for one-off use or a limited period, in these cases, it’s almost always cheaper to rent equipment. For example, a small tiling company can rent a machine for a week and pay you 15% of what they have charged a client.
4 Catering
If you love cooking and can handle catering for the masses, this can be an excellent business idea for you. Besides, you will never go wrong with this idea in the townships. Whether you work from home or rent a caravan. Just make sure you come up with a unique recipe that will make your food taste different.
5.Bed and breakfast
If you have a family home and the kids have moved out, why not turn it into a B&B? With the explosion of social media, it’s never been simpler to market your bed and breakfast in South Africa.
Good luck with your business!
