Cleaning services provide important benefits for both residential and commercial buildings, helping in the management of activities that many people do not love or cannot accomplish in a reasonable amount of time. These services can serve as a daily resource for business operations or as home-based support one or more times per week.

Cleaning services are unique in that no actual office is needed, equipment costs are inexpensive and can be billed back to the client, and operating hours are flexible. As a result, enterprising entrepreneurs can thrive in starting a company in this sector.

The estimated price for office cleaning services is Rs 20 to 25 per square meter, so if you get a client with an average of 750 square meters of commercial space for cleaning, then per client you can earn Rs 16,500.

Tutoring Services

School is always in session, and e-learning has presented unique challenges for learners of all ages. Starting a tutoring business is a terrific approach to helping students who are having trouble understanding fundamental ideas or advancing in a certain subject. Private tuition classes for students of class 5 to class 7 is Rs 200 per hour onwards, making the average monthly cost for tutoring 5 students Rs 30,000.

Delivery Services

More people are staying at home because of the pandemic in order to keep safe. This indicates that the demand for delivery services has increased significantly; by 2023, it is expected that the online food delivery market would expand by more than $104 billion.

You can start your own local courier service to deliver groceries, and prescription drugs, or complete other essential errands in capitalizing on this trend. You could levy additional fees in addition to the usual rate for longer deliveries, rush orders, and the delivery of heavy or bulky items.

Baby Supplies

Electronics Repair

Electronics repair is no different from other types of repairs, as it helps users in maintaining their devices. More customers will be able to get their phones restored rather than turning them in for new ones as right-to-repair rules advance; even Apple is making it simpler.

Although official credentials are not required to operate an electronics repair shop, you still need to have the necessary skills (or you need to hire people who do). Before starting this company, you might wish to complete an electronics repair course.

Warehouse and Storage

It takes work to start a warehouse business, but if you want it bad enough, you can succeed. Everything you need to know before starting a warehouse business in India is provided in these tips.

Dropshipping

The wholesaler and you communicate, and the wholesaler sends the merchandise to the clients Dropshipping reduces the price of shipping as well as the cost of inventory storage. To get started, all you need is an online store.

Dropshipping is a competitive business model, though, as many people sell online and many of them can be offering the same products as you. If you decide to take this path, be sure to have additional USPs to guarantee buyers choose you.

Pet Store

A pet store can be started and run similarly to a baby store. Pet owners will value a loyalty program that enables them to save money when they buy with you, and this will help you develop a devoted clientele for your budding small business.

Alcohol and Liquor Store

In general, alcohol is a safe bet. It enjoys year-round demand, and sales are unaffected by economic downturns. Due to the surge in online alcohol sales, you can expand your company's online presence.

But compared to launching a typical retail business, there are a few more challenges. You won't be able to deal with all payment processors since you'll be regarded as a high-risk merchant, but you'll still need one because customers prefer credit cards. Additionally, you must ensure that you have processes in place to accurately report taxes and verify IDs.
