1. Breakfast service
Opening a street-side breakfast and snack service is the cheapest business idea. You can offer Indian favorites including idli, dosa, omelette, boiled eggs, buns with butter and jam as well as tea and coffee.
2- Handyman
You can become a handyman by offering a plethora of services such as minor electrical repairs, plumbing, plastering and painting. You can also do handyman services by depositing cheques in banks or waiting in queues for customers.
3- Hospital caregiver
For persons with basic skills in handling the sick, physically challenged and elderly, hospital caregiver is an ideal business. Nurses and ward boys will call and inform you whenever anyone requires such service. It fetches between Rs.500 and Rs. 1,000 per shift of 12 hours.
4- Real estate agent
All you need is a mobile phone and a contact network to enter business as an estate agent. You will look people who want to buy, sell or lease their homes or offices. However, if you wish to take the business to a higher level, you will require an office. I personally know people who make Rs 50,000+ with this business idea.
5- Tea vendor
Nowadays, it is common to see people riding a bicycle with a large kettle of hot water, teabags and sugar. They sell tea and coffee to customers. Since they are riding a bicycle, they can circumvent licensing.
This business idea is making thousands of tea vendors across India rich.
