PRIME CATEGORY: Business To Business Service
O.K. You have decided that you to start a business offering
a product or service to the business community (vs. to consumers
directly).
Millions of businesses -- ranging from single storefronts in stripmalls
to major national chains -- purchase numerous products and services
from individual entrepreneurs... no different than you. Someone
who has taken the plunge and started a "business-of-my-own."
The range of potential biz/ops that you can engage in to approach
the business community is truly staggering... as is indicated
by the NOBOSS Categories shown below.
The business opportunity Sources "Listed" within each
Category have made it their business to provide the mechanisms
required (product, education, support, etc.) to help you to start-up
a business in their field. Granted -- they will ask for some monetary
investment on your part to start a business. In many cases, however,
the real payoff for the "Listed" Source comes only when
you become successful.
The key is for you to search the NOBOSS database and identify
one or more Sources that offer you the opportunity to start a
business in a Category that you personally feel 'right' about
-- and where the start-up cost is within your acceptable budget.
Remember, a NOBOSS "Listing" is neither an endorsement
nor a guarantee of success. It is up to you to get detailed information
from the Source (click on REQUEST FOR FURTHER INFORMATION on the
Source page) and then to confirm all aspects of your proposed
business venture.
Advertising -
Almost every business is required to advertise in one form or
another to attract customers. Advertising is critical to its very
existance... and most certainly to achieve growth. When you present
advertising opportunities to the business community in your locale
-- you are making a major contribution to the economic viability
of your region. While many advertising biz/ops are franchises
costing far more than our maximum NOBOSS criteria, not all take
a large investment to get started (as you can see if you click here).
Automotive Related - With tens
of millions of automobiles on the road constantly requiring service...
here is a natural marketing opportunity for the entrepreneur --
either dealing directly with the pubic or providing a value-added
service to established businesses in the automotive field.
Business
Consultant - As a direct result of corporate 'downsizing'
for efficiency the number of independent business consultants
has grown dramatically. The combination of (1) a large population
of displaced middle and upper management executives who became
disenchanted with the concept of corporate loyalty combined with
(2) big-business realization that outsourcing of projects via
consultants was a more economic means of accomplishing objectives
has made this a significant mechanism for self-employment.
Career/Trade
Home Study Courses - The skills taught by many well established
Careers/Trade Schools are multi-faceted. While graduates may opt
to simply take a job in their field of interest -- the same education
can also be used to start a business-of-their-own. NOBOSS has
attempted to identify those courses that are particuarly appropriate
to the budding entrepeneur and "Listed" them under this
Category for your review.
Cleaning
- Think about it. Every business premises requires cleaning
-- and most small businesses can't afford to employ a staff for
this purpose. So -- they hire it out -- to some local entrepreneur.
After all, this kind of activity is a hands-on, on-site event...
it's not done by mail or long distance. It's a natural (and potentially
highly profitable) business for a local entrepreneur
And this Category of services is not necessarily just janitorial
-- but can be expanded to include specialized in types of cleaning
(ex: carpeting, upholstery and walls).
Computer Based
Businesses - Easily the most popular Category on the NOBOSS
website, you will find here am amazing variety of exciting business
opportunities (many that may never have existed before the creation
of the personal computer) -- usually relying on unique software
to provide either personalized product or specialized service
to the consumer.
Fundraising
- Charitable non-profits, schools, etc. across the country are
strapped for cash and continually seeking legitimate fundraising
activities... and contracting with local entrepreneurs to help
them to generate the needed $$ to keep their good works going.
Here's Sources whereby you can earn an excellent income PLUS feel
g-r-e-a-t about the contribution you are making to the community.
Import/Export
- Going back into time... long before the exploits of
Marco Polo... one of the primary forces behind the development
of our civilization was the impetus of 'trade'. This age-old means
of entrepreneurship lives on today in this exciting Category.
It is still ripe with opportunity for economic gain and riches
for those willing to explore and work at it.
Independent
Sales Rep (Non-MLM) - long before the advent of 'Network'
or MLM as a means if marketing products and services, there existed
and currently remains the time-honored distribution system of
Independent Sales Representatives... individuals who, as entrepreneurs,
brought a variety of business-related programs to the attention
of the managers and owners of businesses in their community or
larger assigned geographic areas.
Interior
Design - While normally focused towards consumers and
residences, as of this writing NOBOSS has identified one Source
that appears to lend itself to a business-of-your-own marketing
a unique form of interior design to a selected segment of the
business community. And, happily, it does not require either heavy
up-front investment or specialized education.
Internet-Based
Business - by virtue of viewing this webpage you are currently
participating in the emergence of a dramatic new commercial media
that has the potential of revolutionizing the opportunity for
building a successful home-based business.
Mail Order To
Business - here is another Category of biz/op that is
usually associated with marketing to consumers -- but the reality
is that millions of dollars of product are purchased annually
by the business community. Sources "Listed" here are
prepared to provide you with information and product to start
a business- to-business mail order venture.
Manufacture and/or
Repair - Taking raw materials and manufacturing items
for sale may be the 'original' home-based business opportunity...
in its broadest definition -- it describes a farm.
While today the image of manufacture often conjurs up a mass production
line, millions of individuals earn their living producing one-on-one
items to sell to the public and business... and, whether the result
of 'planned obsolesence' or the tides-of-time or an accident,
both mass production and one-on-one manufactured items require
repair.
There are many fine business opportunity Sources active for years
who specialize in helping entrepreneurs build successful businesses
in this Category.
Manufacture,
Private Label Product - In this new catagory, you will find
opportunities for home-based entrepreneurs to make arrangements
with manufacturers to produce their own line of 'private label'
products -- allowing y-o-u to market y-o-u-r proprietary products
using whatever distribution system you may choose (networking,
mail order, retail, television, etc.).
Multi-Level
(Network) Marketing - most MLM or 'network marketing' programs
are focused on the consumer market... but not all. We list here
selected business opportunities that utilize this form of distribution.
Real
Estate Related - these are the business opportunities that
are directed to real estate agents, loan officers and home developers
who deal with homeowners and renters with respect to the purchase,
sale, value and enjoyment of their residence.
Safety and
Security - The issue of corporate/personnell/customer security
is an overriding concern of responsible business management--
and for good reason. Business opportunity Sources who provide
product/service in this area have a built-in and ready-made markeplacet
for any entrepreneur willing to present it to the business community.
Seminar Promotion
- The business opportunity is one of gathering groups of people
interested in specific subjects together in order to receive structured
information -- and is an exciting, viable and very profitable
proposition. The potential subjects that can be used to attract
your audience to pay for attendance at your seminar is literally
unlimited.
Telecommunications
& Electronics (Non-Computer) - the amazing growth in technology
and the number of advances in the field of communications have
generated a number of leading-edge business opportunities for
the 'small-biz' entrepreneur. Because people desire to enjoy the
'latest' gadget, device and mechanisms on-the-market, there is
a huge market for those who spearhead distribution of these programs.
Travel Agent -
Marketing 'travel' as a business opportunity has a tremendous
appeal to many biz/op seekers -- not the least of which is the
potential for experiencing personal travel as a legitimate part
of their business activity. The cost of setting up a new travel
agency from scratch and without experience in-the-field is prohibitive
for most NOBOSS viewers.
This Category "Lists" Sources who apparently have developed
both the means whereby you can provide extensive travel services
to the public and to businesses in your area -- plus they will
give you the support and means of obtaining all the information
required to build a successful business in this exciting field.
Vending Machines
- Look around next time your out shopping. You'll find them
everywhere. At the market, in the gas station, the car wash, etc.
etc. It may not be a classy or professional appearing business
-- but someone must be making big $$ by placing vending machines
in locations whereever consumers passby.
The challenge was to find those vending machine business opportunities
that can be launched within the NOBOSS start-up cost criteria.
Wholesale,
Direct Sale To Business for Resale to Consumers - here
are "Listed" Sources of goods targeted for sale to businesses
at wholesale prices -- and who, in turn, offer those products
and retail to their customers. It's, perhaps, the oldest game
in town. And, it's a proven money-maker since all retail businesses
must continually purchase product and turn-it-over if they are
to stay in business.
Writing
- tens of thousands of individuals earn their living writing-for-a-living.
The business-to- business genre of this classic biz/op is producing
text that is sold to some other business for payment. Writers
sell novels to publishers, articles to magazine editors, scripts
to television producers, etc. If you have the talent to express
yourself effectivelly in text -- then there are very real opportunities
for a part-time or full-time home-based business.
