Can anyone give me some idea to open a small shop for surviving?


a small non food business shop, suggestions please???

There is no "right" shop that is perfect for everyone. There is probably one that is perfect for you. To figure out what's right for you, look at 2 things. One, who are you? What are you passionate about? What do you have experience in? You're more likely to succeed in a business that you care deeply about, and that you have some experience with.

Two, how can you apply your passion/experience to a need in the community? A local guy who loved computers and technology found success by opening an in-home computer repair business. Find a "hole" that can be filled by a business that utilizes your unique strengths.

The answer to finding your perfect business probably lies in finding the intersection of your passions/experiences and community need.

no not really

Do not open a small shop open a Walmart! Invest your life savings in to starting a Walmart and you will be very prosperous.

i think the only real market left that makes any kind of profit when its run as a small buisness/ store is hair products and grooming.

my friend has one and she does alright

here in Texas there is alot of Pinata stores and they sell mexican candies and rent bounce houses or jumpers .....

Pawn shops can be profitable. Franchises like Subway have proved to be very succesful.
Depends what the market can handle...Just about any shop can survive and prosper if its located well and meets a market need.

Nails,Manicures,Pedicures,Tanning Beds,Facials.
With the Products required for each service for sale.
Maybe anything for Relaxation,like candles and oils...
You could have gourmet coffees to drink as Complimentary.
Occasionally have live music for Customer entertainment.
Bran ,Blueberry, Apple Muffins as complimentary for clients enjoyment.

Look in your community and see what shop is LACKING.
Then, see if you have some strengths that will help you run that shop.
For example, if there is no good athletic outfitter shop, AND you played a lot of sports - there is a possiblity.
BUT, if there is no good athletic outfitter shop, AND you hate the idea of sports- there might not be a good match.

The store that will survive is the one your CUSTOMERS want, not the one YOU want.

I suggest you do not open the shop now. Take up a small job for surviving, keep your capital as reserve.
