7 Businesses You Can Start With Almost No Cash

 where most people get stopped cold is their realization that it takes money to start a business -- money they don’t have.
Still, consider: There are loans, grants, and other fundraising options, like crowdfunding, available to get you what you need; so money is not a good excuse not to start a business. And, beyond that, there are certain types of businesses you can start with almost no cash.

What it takes to start a business

Your first step is to explore what it takes to formally “start” a business, and which of those items cost money.
  • Planning. You’ll need to come up with a business plan and financial model, of course, but you can do this on your own, for free.
  • Business license. If you’re planning on creating a partnership, LLC or corporation, you’ll need to file some paperwork -- but it probably won’t cost you more than a few hundred dollars, depending on what licensing you need. The Small Business Administration has plenty of resources to help you figure out what you need, how to obtain it and how much it will cost.
  • A domain name. You’ll need to invest in your online brand early on; while I suggest going as professional as possible, you could also use a bare-bones approach to launch, if yours is a minimum viable product. Often, a catchy domain name is all you need to define your brand at the start, and one can be bought for as little as $10 (if you can find one that isn’t taken!). I use GoDaddy to buy domains.
  • A website. Website builders these days are free and intuitive to use. You won't expend anything but time to build your first site. I recommend starting simple with a widely-used website platform, like Wordpress or Wix.
  • Marketing. While marketing has a reputation for being very expensive, there are actually a ton of really effective tactics that can be performed with only an investment of your time. Social media marketing, SEO and content marketing all fit within this category -- and, honestly, those are really all you need. Entrepreneur has a great selection of how-to books and online courses that cover this subject.
  • Equipment. Equipment, offices and other tangible assets are cash killers, but not all businesses need them. Some businesses don’t require any of these things, as I’ll explain shortly.
  • Products. Finally, all businesses need to sell something, which usually means some up-front investing. However, many services can be performed with an investment of time rather than money.

Types of businesses to start

So, which types of businesses can be started without a heavy financial burden in any of the above areas? Read on to find out.

Virusi vya Corona  (kwa  Kiingereza : Coronavirus) ni  kundi  la  virusi  vinavyoweza kusababisha  magonjwa  kwa  wanyama  ( mamalia  na  ndege ) lakini pia kwa  binadamu [1] .

Tabia za pamoja Virusi vya corona huwa na uwezo wa kubadilika na aina nyingi husababisha magonjwa yasiyo hatari sana upande wa binadamu.
