Hi,
The suggestion of a beauty parlour is good. However, as you have mentioned that there are already a lot of beauty parlours, you could consider starting a training centre for beauticians. It is the only industry that is growing rapidly in the current recession scenario, and there is a high demand for trained manpower in beauty parlours throughout the state. I am aware of this as we are involved in training and placing these beauticians in Chennai.

Hello members,
I would like to seek your help in just sparing a few minutes to share your thoughts: "What can be the best (innovative) business that can be started - with a space of 1800 sq.ft - in a very busy locality that is the major place for shopping/renting/everything and anything can be found here and is the center of the city. I wanted to know if something innovative could be started."
This is not for me, but for my friend who is really looking to start something. I suggested a play school, but it did not appeal to her! I also suggested a fashion boutique, but there are already shops in the area. Is there something you can help me with? Would like to seek your creative thoughts.
:)

Dear Asha,
I saw your post and the responses. As some have suggested, the first thing your friend has to do is list what she wants to do with her life from the most satisfying to least. Then do a survey of what is already being served by others in the geographical area and where there is a gap. In effect, conduct a SWOT analysis (her own strengths and weaknesses and Opportunities and Threats).
It will be presumptuous on our part to suggest ideas without knowing the situation, as one can see from the responses above and your answers. Am I correct in assuming that your friend wants to make money and not just serve society?
Have a nice day.

Thank you for your views, Sir.
Yes, you are partly correct. She is interested in making money but linked with serving society. The simple reason that can explain it all together is this portion of land is available in the front area of her house, so she wants to start something that will not spoil the family name's image and also make money. Because this space will generate a significant business in the area where she is staying.
As someone pointed out above, renting was in her mind, but the question remains: renting for what?

In that case, she could go for an accessories shop with all kinds of silver and designer jewelry. She can add fancy ladies' handbags, perfumes, and a few antiques. Trust me, Asha, if you open such a kind of shop even in the desert, girls will go hunting there as well.

One business that can never fail is the food business. Your friend can consider starting a fast food corner offering items such as Chaat, Tikki, Dosa, Burger, Golgappe, or a variety of foods. Home delivery services would be an added advantage that you could provide. Depending on the budget, your friend can make a choice. Some of the space can be utilized for women's items like handbags, jewelry, and cosmetics.
An exclusive idea I can share here is that if there are several boutiques in the area, your friend could differentiate by starting a simple shop specializing in designer laces, buttons, and clothing accessories. While this may sound unusual, I am located in Chandigarh where such a shop exists, and the response has been tremendous because not many think to start such a small yet profitable business.
Furthermore, this venture does not require significant investment, but quality products are essential. The strategic location you mentioned would be an added advantage. Once established, you can expand the business further. I hope this information is helpful.

Dear Asha,
The first thing she should do is understand what she is truly interested in. People may come up with numerous suggestions; however, she needs to decide first which business she wants to enter and then ask for creative suggestions to make that place appealing and attractive to the crowd. Otherwise, there are many people with a plethora of ideas about starting a new venture, ready to invest but struggling to find attractive locations to begin. She can also seek out those individuals, understand their business concepts, and rent out spaces to them after ensuring that it does not tarnish the family name. Unless one engages in illegal activities, the business preserves dignity and the family name remains intact. Therefore, she must decide on her direction.
All the best.
