5 Best Service-Based Small Business Ideas

When thinking about starting a new business, most people think about selling things, but you can have an even higher chance of succeeding if you launch a service-based business. Find out which 5 services to consider if you want to become a successful business owner and find top-quality services from the best Nigerian professionals on Jiji !

Building

While opening a construction business hardly qualifies for a small business, there is a great business opportunity for handy people – doing one-time building services like plumbing, electricity, heating, air conditioning, and small repairs. You can do this business from home – all you need is good equipment, a lot of free time for practice and access to the internet where you can advertise your services and build your customer base.

Children’s Services

Even though daycare is the most popular kind of children’s services today, you don’t have to jump straight into a daycare business if you feel you don’t have enough experience. There are much easier ways to start a children’s service business – for example, by launching an art, dance, or music class for children. When you feel comfortable enough with a 1 or 2-hour class, you can move on to longer sessions and even a full daycare.

Beauty

Despite the changes in fashion and economy, women will always want to look even prettier, and professional beauty services are a great way to help them while building your prosperous business. Many hair, makeup, and nail estheticians start working from home or visit clients at their locations. Afterward you can rent a space in a popular area and have not only regular customers but also walk-in clients.

Pet Services

Millions of Nigerian families have at least one pet, and that means potential work for you! Pets require all kinds of services, from grooming to pet sitting. You can become a professional dog walker or found a doggie daycare center. If you’re good at training dogs and other pets, you can provide training services to pets and their owners. Finally, a pet hotel is not only lucrative but also a lifesaver for owners who need to take a leave from their pets.

Catering

Good cooking skills, great communication abilities, and proper equipment at home can make you a valuable asset for weddings, birthday parties, and other events where people need to serve food that they don’t want to cook personally. You can supply anything from cupcakes and cookies as a beginner to full-on catering services as an established catering entrepreneur.
