Many people fear starting their own business. Starting your own business can be intimidating, but there a lot of low risk businesses you can start. Owning a home day care doesn’t require a lot of money. It can either be a full time job or a side gig. You’ll have to talk with your state’s department of family services for permission and to go over the requirements. Another great side gig would be a lawn care specialist. All you’ll really need is a lawn mower and determination. If you don’t own a lawnmower you can use your client’s equipment or you can rent one until you have enough to buy your own.

Here’s a list of other low risk businesses you can start

• Real Estate Agent
• Freelance Writer
• Natural Childbirth Educator
• Virtual Assistant
• Photographer
• Dog Walker or Sitter
