There are 5 business ideas you can scale quickly and easily that stand out amongst the rest. We picked these 5, because they are really easy to scale. They may not be sexy, but they will make you a ton of money if you go into it with the right mindset.
As with anything, do your own due diligence before making an big decision.
Above all, we do NOT want you to think this is an extensive list.
Furthermore, it is not our intention to keep you from doing what you love to do, and if you are more experienced in a different niche, we suggest you open an LLC in relation to that.
Without further explanation, let’s get into it!
5 Business Ideas You Can Scale
1. Yard Work
Yard work is a business idea that can really take off. If you are working for someone else in a landscaping business, you may be making 20-$25/hr if you are not a lead.
Even better is when you start a business out of a yard work business idea that you did on the side.
In this business, you can charge anywhere from 45-$75 per man hour. Sometimes even more.
People in my area regularly charge $55 per man hour to do things like using a weed wacker to get rid of weeds, or raking pine needles.
If you have yourself and 2 other workers busy for 8 hours a day, and you pay them each $25/hr, you will make $480 for the day with just the work they did. Add on your 8 hours, and that’s an additional $440 for the day.
Better yet, just have 3 1099 workers doing the yard work while you pocket $720 per day.
All getting the work takes with this business idea is knowing how to create, and print flyers. Craigslist is good for getting the work, and hiring willing bodies to carry out the workload.
This business idea is highly scalable, and can make you a boat load of money in short order.
2. Window Washing
Window washing is another business idea that can be easily scalable. With the potential for extremely low overhead costs, and a premium service, you can charge $250 per house as an example.
Let’s say each worker can do 4 houses per day, and you pay them $100 per house. This would leave you with $600 per worker each day.
You’ll often times end up making more money per man hour than the yard work. Whereas, yard work needs done more often.
Window washing can be started with some rags, a bucket, window scrubber and a squeegee. If you go the route of hiring 1099 workers (which you should if you want to scale), they cover the cost of their cleaning equipment. You bring them the work, and manage the back-end.
3. House Cleaning
Just like the previously mentioned business ideas, this one has huge potential to bring in recurring customers at a premium cost.
The average cost to have your house cleaned professionally hovers around the $100/hr mark. Often times, with discounts lined up for recurring cleaning agreements.
For anyone of these scalable business ideas, we suggest starting your own company with Bizees premium package. This is going to give you a ton of stuff you’ll need to hit the ground running. Such as, business contract templates that are lawyer approved. One of which is a Service Agreement.
4. Junk Removal Equipment Rental
Here is a business idea that has no limit on the scalability. If you have the money to purchase a few dump trailers, you can rent them out for 200-$450 per day depending on size and your market.
You can start with one trailer, and do junk removal with it until you have enough capital to purchase more and rent them out.
You may even want to just keep doing junk removal to increase revenue. The rental game is a little more passive. You rent out the trailer, they bring it back. Rinse, repeat.
This business idea can be a gold mine.
5. Burrito/Food Truck
Where I grew up, I had the pleasure of watching someone take this business idea and make it big. The guy started with a van with heating pans to keep the burritos’ nice and hot.
He would have, let’s say, 4 or 5 different kinds of burritos’ (my favorite is the ground beef, potato and green chili).
The main form of marketing seemed to be a written sign that said ” Burritos 4 Sale” in the back window of the van. That and word of mouth. Everyone I know loves that guys burritos’.
Since then, the same guy has bought a fully wrapped food trailer, and He makes a ton of amazing Mexican Food to order.
This guy truly shows what hard work and dedication can do for you.
To Bring It Home
The business ideas’ spoke about in this post have unlimited potential to scale quickly. The best business idea is one that you resonate with. If you despise yard work, don’t go starting a yard maintenance business. You can start any business you want. The thought is that, you just start. You don’t wait.
For those that are tired of making minimum wage, only you can make the decision to never look back, and start your own business. Being able to make $1000 per day take home is attainable. It’s up to you to say, “Enough is enough”.
The decisions you make today will determine the outcome. Having to check the bank account to make sure there’s enough money for a purchase gets tiring.
