Outside the Square Business Ideas
Buy a Vending Machine
This might not be a money maker at first, but if you’ve got the machine and you find the right place for it (or put it out as a rental), there’s definitely space to grow.
Pet Sitter
People love to travel and move, but their pets are not always comfortable with that lifestyle. Use your animal whispering skills to start a business as a pet sitter!
House Sitter
When people go on holidays, they want to know their house is safe and sound, which is why there’s lots of space in the market for a responsible, and affordable, house sitting business.
Rent Out Antique Furniture
Antiques are great, but people might not need them all the time. So if you have a collection of antiques, or you know where to get them, get started!
Home Delivery Service
There are lots of opportunities for home delivery services, whether you pick up bulky furniture or even groceries and take away.
Book Club Organiser
Book clubs are a great idea, but not everyone has the time to organise a successful one. That’s where you’d come in!
Costume Rental
Got a great collection of costumes, or love to collect them? Start your own costume rental and you’ll find there’s more to costumes than Halloween!
Nappy Service
People are loving modern cloth nappies, but laundering them is such a pain. That’s where the nappy service comes in, with a new business opportunity for you!
Public Speaker
If you’re an eloquent orator, with a nose for events in need, you can certainly make yourself a small income as a public speaker in your local area.
Seasonal Decorator
Love decorating for the year’s many holidays? Get yourself started as a seasonal decorator, offering Christmas, Halloween and Easter decorations to businesses and even residential homes!
Herb Farming
For those with the gift of a green thumb, herb farming is a great way to make some income on the side. Herbs take up less space than many traditional crops, and area easy to harvest.
Party Planning Representative
Party planning businesses operate all over Australia, but often, the best ones are assisted in areas they don’t always do business in by representatives, a.k.a. you.
House Stager
You know the photos you see in magazines of beautiful houses? Well, someone put those set ups together, and that could be a great business for you.
