526 small business ideas with real costs and launch plans



Mini Business Ideas is a free directory of 526 small business ideas and 40 guides for people starting their first business. Instead of one-line lists, every idea has the same spec sheet: a realistic startup cost, what a solo founder commonly earns after about 12 months, a step-by-step launch plan and a 7-day validation test. You can browse by category, budget or location, take a 5-question quiz, and use free tools such as a startup cost calculator, a profit margin calculator and a business name generator.
