Question

Answer 1

It all depends on where you are looking to open this business. It has to be appealing to the people in the area to be successful.

T-shirt and sweater printing... People always buy tees!

Answer 3

There are so many small businesses out there that he can look into.  You'll get a lot of different ideas here on yahoo to look into.  When I was looking for a small business, someone suggested this blog from yahoo on small businesses that you can run out of your home.  Your Uncle would have the same income opportunity as a traditional business, but without all the over head expenses.  Most home based businesses are businesses within a business, just like if you were to buy into McDonalds, but they cost a fraction of the amount as going into business with McDonald's.  Here's a blog that has over half a dozen different industries to take a look at.  I'm sure it will give you a lot of ideas to give to your Uncle as it gave me.

Good Luck to you!

Answer 4

Lunch places are always popular in commercial or industrial areas. I see some around which have been there practically since the Paleolithic era -- fast, simple, inexpensive lunches for dine-in or take-out, and then open for dinner with sports on t.v. Maybe breakfast if he thinks people would be interested.

Since those zones are also dead on weekends and after about 7:00pm, he could limit his hours so he doesn't have to be there 24 hours per day, seven days per week.

Answer 5

You should check out Zrii. Its a home based business you can do with a very small investment. Basically you are sharing this health drink with others that is really amazing! I know because I own my own business doing this. Dr. Deepak Chopra developed it and endorses it. He has written many books on health and Oprah made him popular when she had him on her show many times. This drink is really helping people with all kinds of health issues including...eye sight improvement, skin improvement (including acne and dry skin), weight loss, and sleep improvement (plus many other things!). Most people notice an energy boost from it right away when they start taking it.  It is an Ayurvedic drink, so it has the possibility to affect many areas of health as it does not just treat one symptom, but rather it supports the body’s ability to heal itself where it needs to.
