>I am an engineering student who will start an 80k graduate job at the beginning of next year >I'm interested in investing in some sort of small easy to manage business on the side. >in my research I've found the safest investments with the quickest return require large initial capital investments. >So I'm brainstorming some ideas for initial businesses to get started before selling them and moving on to greener pastures
Here are my ideas so far: -puzzle room -storage space -mini golf -online gambling website (yes I know this one's dodgy) -small Chinese restaurant (misso is chinese)
Not a programmer, too much competition, too high initial investment required no can you please elaborate. Also I'd rather not be a public figure I just googled 'hot business woman' mate

too many fuckheads shilling shitcoins. can't have a decent normal biz thread. crypto currency is all good in my books but biz has so many fucking threads on them

you don't need to be a programmer
have an idea and hire someone to create it
online business is the easiest

It's not that hard to learn programming to a level where you can shit out android games actually.
Thomas Adams

I workout a lot so could be good but I'd have to invest a lot of hours outside of a 50hr workweek

I'm an electrical engineer. Best to start a side business with something your good at. I for instance do PCB fabrication.

I am still in college and when I graduate would like to start my own business. I heard that the import/export market was not dominated by corporations and figured it could pay well if I got some significant contacts. Any tips on how to make them?

Let's combine some ideas from this thread.
VR Storage space. Think about it. You know it's great.

Outsourcing will get you crap. I work at a tiny software company, and we decided to outsource to get someone to work on an Android app for us because we were all busy with other stuff. It was absolute shit. If I was a non-programmer starting a company with a bit of money and used all that money on outsourcing development and I got this app, I would have just cried, given up, and gone back to a real job. This guy has the better idea.

Didn't want to start a new thread for this question, hopefully you guys can help me out.
>I am mid tier-management, marketing in tech >Boss and myself, travelling interstate.we are on great terms >Boss asked for concepts to move the business ahead. I volunteer an idea I had been working on in my head for a while. >We have the capacity to pull it off, BUT he will need to source 2million plus in investment, which he can do. >My concept though >I don't have the technical skills to implement it
I don't think he will shaft me but I want to develop this idea as a team with my boss within a new company. what sort of

Why don't you invest in real estate,rent out your buildings and pay someone a small cut to collect rent/handle any problems that come up?

There are people that take care of the social interaction part? Amazing. Now I am interested

This always difficult and can easily make good projects unravel.
Both sides tend to unreasonably overrate the importance of their contribution.
In the end, ideas are really a dime a dozen, and it's what you can contribute to the execution of the idea that matters. If you can get a firm commitment for 5% after 1 year for the idea, then consider yourself to have a major win.
If you can contribute more, in skills, or money, then you might be able to negotiate for a few more %. But it is largely the resources and unique skills that matter.
It is always better to go ahead with something that is just barely fair to you, than it is to derail the whole project because you dream of equality with a money-man.
Ride this money-man. if this project is successful, you will have a tidy sum, and a reputation for success against the odds. Save the big % ask for the next project, when you can command a bigger piece of the starting money-pie with your own cash. You will realize the terror of risking your own reserves, and why you must ask for a large % return.

your post is excellent, thank you, I have taken this wholly onboard

I'm just going to start off by telling you that trying to start a restaurant is not your best option. They're horrifying to manage and aren't that profitable in the short term.
