When you start a small business, you never know how well your idea will be accepted.
But if you start with goods or services that people really need the odds are that you will be successful if you are reliable and persistent.
There are many small business ideas to choose from, one that may be of interest to people who like to bake and who like children would be to bake for class projects.
Different classes will at times ask that children bake cupcakes or cookies for the class.
They often take turns.
And some children either do not have parents who have the ability to bake, or they do not have the time.
They are however, very happy to run to the store and purchase something.
Why not make up fliers offering your baking services? Why not turn it into a business? When you do, you may find that it is not only your local school which will take advantage of the services, you may find that you have business people who will gladly pay you for baking a batch of brownies that they can take into the office as a special treat.
In addition to handing out flyers to teachers in your school, set up your online website.
List the different items you are willing to bake, and the pricing.
Do not forget to mention how much notice you will require.
After all, you certainly do not want to listen to an irate parent complaining about needing cookies in an hour and demanding to know why your information is not clear that an hour notice is not enough.
This is one small business idea that could surprise you with big bucks.
