Ten small businesses you can start with just 50k in Pakistan
Pakistan is one of the fastest growing markets in the world. Doing business in Pakistan is the best idea for people to earn money. But taking right decision at right time is one of the most import part for success of any business. We always advice people to invest fewer amounts in starting because in start you never know whether your idea will work or not. Start with fewer cost and if your idea works perfectly or even if it reaches to the break even point then latterly you can expand it.
Starting a new business is always a brave decision. Always remember only those businesses get success who run with love, care and devotion. A business is your mini plant you need to water it till it grow and become a tree. These are the top ten small businesses you can start with just 50k in Pakistan or even less amount.
1. Barber Shop: (Investment Required = 30,000 to 50,000)
(Income per Month = 30,000 to 60,000 Rupees)
A barber shop does not need any specific location but yes if you luckily got a specific location in less rent then good for you. First thing before renting the shop is to find barber guy. You can find a less experience struggling barber in less salary like 10 to 15 thousand a month. The shop rent per month averagely would also be 10 to 15 thousand. In this business you can earn more than 2000 Rupees a day and hence sitting at your home just by monitoring you can earn money.
2. Photography Services: (Investment Required= 40,000 to 50,000)
(Income per Month = 30,000 to 50,000 Rupees)
Photography is another best less costly and high earning business. You just need to purchase a good camera in start. Although a good professional camera can cost you more than 1 lac rupees. But you can also get a low costly or second hand camera within 50,000 Rupees. But I recommend you to purchase a new camera instead of second. You can get Nikon and Canon Beginner/Medium Professional DSLR Cameras in 50,000 Rupees.
After purchasing camera you just need to make a Facebook page and upload images that you capture on it. People will automatically attract towards your work. I also recommend covering the events of your friends for free in start so that you would be able to make your portfolio to show new clients.
3. Web Development Services: (Investment Required = 15,000 to 30,000)
(Income per Month = 30,000 to 50,000 Rupees)
If you are a computer lover then and have skills of developing websites you can earn money sitting at home. You can learn website development in Pakistan by short course from any good institute like NISDA. After learning this skill what you need is a computer and an internet connection. Make your profile on Freelancing websites and start making money by making web for people and companies. You can also earn by your own website using Google AdSense.
4. Home Tuition: (Investment Required = 5000 to 10,000)
(Income per Month = 30,000 to 50,000 Rupees)
If you are educated and especially if you have studied science subjects in your Matriculation then a home based tuition center is also one of the great ideas for you to start. You can start even with zero investment but still I insist you to spend 5 to 10,000 rupees on advertisement of your tuition center. You must add a good banner in front of your residence for this and also you can distribute flyers of your tuition center with contracting a local news agency. By doing this you will gain so many students within a month. If you only charge 1000 Rupee from 1 child and you have 30 child’s you can earn 30,000 a month only by working in evening 3 to 4 hours.
5. Food Stand: (Investment Required = 15,000 to 40,000 Rupees)
(Income per Month = 35,000 to 60,000 Rupees)
The most popular business in Pakistan is of food. You always do not need huge investment to open food business. I also see many food stands who are earning more than big high fi restaurants. You can develop and make a food stall only from 5 to 15 000 Rupees. And After purchasing every day raw material and rent of stall you can get profit of more than 2000 rupees per day. The rent of a food stall is always less as compare to shops. In very popular and big market you can get a space for food stand only in 5000 to 15000 per month and in low average market you can get stall in less even 3000 a month.
6. Graphic Designing Services: (Investment Required= 15,000 to 30,000)
(Income per Month = 30,000 to 50,000 Rupees)
Graphic Designing is an old but always running business. Similar to web development skills you need to learn graphic designing skills and one popular institute who are training hundreds of people every year this course is NISDA. You can also learn graphic designing online from there.
After acquiring the skills you can start freelancing or you can go in offset printing field. People having this skill can start advertising and branding business as well (Like printing of flex, banners, brochures, wedding cards etc). A simple shop of rent not more than 15000 is required to display your designing work and people will start giving you orders of advertisement and printing.
7. Internet Cafe: (Investment Required = 50,000 to 60,000 Rupees)
(Income per Month = 30,000 to 50,000 Rupees)
If you manage to rent a shop in 10,000 a month then you can start this business as well. Initially you can start with 4 to 5 computers only and you can buy then in 30,000 Rupees only. Then your monthly expense is nothing except electricity bills and internet charges. Over all in lower middle standard areas this business woks very fine because mostly people cannot afford intern at their home. But in a high class area you should never start this business as every house might already have internet facilities. You can easily earn more than 1000 rupees per day from net cafe.
8. Easy Load/Mobile shop: (Investment Required = 30,000 to 50,000 Rupees)
(Income per Month = 25,000 to 50,000 Rupees)
Easy load is demand and need of every person in every city. Purchase mobile with multiple sim options and then contact the concern companies. They will automatically provide you the balance day to day. Along with this just purchase one simple computer and an internet connection and provide the services of data filling in memory cards. Half of your earning will only be through this memory card filling service. You can increase the business by including mobile and computer accessories as well.
9. Video Editing Services : (Investment Required = 40,000 to 70,000 Rupees)
(Income per Month = 40,000 to 100,000 Rupees)
You can start your own video editing and mixing business siting from your home. The two things you required for this business are good computer and skills. A good computer for this work can cost you round about 40 to 60 thousand rupees one time. If you don’t know the skills you can teach them even online form National Institute of Skill Development and Advertisement is very affordable fee.
10. Vegetable Shop: (Investment Required = 20,000 to 30,000)
(Income per Month = 20,000 to 40,000 Rupees)
A vegetable store is a business to be done in any country and in any place. You just need to find a small shop in your area whose rent would be minimum. In Pakistan normally you can find a small shop in nearly 5 to 10 thousand of rent a month. Then you need to go to main vegetable and fruit market of your city and just buy them in bulk and sale them throughout the day or even next day. You can buy the vegetables in 10,000 rupees or less and you not even need to buy more than that. Because purchasing more vegetables will may be a waste of product at the end.
There is no shame in doing any type of businesses. If you feel shy or shame to open a vegetable shop in your own area simply opens it in another area where you do not live.
