I am taking a class called Small Business Management this semester and we need to come up with 3 small business ideas for the course. They are not actually going to be setup, it is just for the class. I have been thinking for two weeks and cannot come up with anything that's innovative or new. The professor has said we cannot go the franchise or chain route, it has to be something totally new. Any ideas from my ClutchFans out there?
Listen to this one: you open a company called the "Arse Tickler's F#####s Fan Club". You take out an advert in the back page of some gay mag, advertising the latest in arse-intruding dildos. You sell it with, I dunno, "does what no other d!ldo can do until now", "the latest and greatest in sexual technology", "guaranteed results or your money back", all that bollocks. Now these dils cost twenty-five quid a pop – that's a snip for the amount of pleasure they're gonna give the recipients. But they send their cheques to the other company name, nothing offensive, er, "Bobbie's Bits" or something, for twenty-five quid. You take that twenty-five quid, you stick it in the bank until it clears. Now, this is the smart bit – you send back the cheque for twenty-five pound from the other company name, "Arse Tickler's F#####s Fan Club", saying we're sorry, we couldn't get the supplies from America because they ran out of stock. Now you see how many people cash that cheque – not a single soul, because who wants their bank manager to know they tickle arse when they're not paying cheques?

LOL! :grin: I live in the so called "City of Churches" (Jonesboro, AR). I don't think that is going to work. Liquor/alcohol isn't even legal here.
Does it have to be realistic? For instance, in "Family Guy", future technology allows people to take vacations in the past or future. Would this be allowed? Whats your theoretical start-up capital? Can you be officed anywhere in the world or does it need to stay in Houston?
I'm talking about a wholesome massage like the one near Chimney Rock and Westheimer. The challenge here is how to sell this business without getting associated with whorehouses. Thai massage is like a yoga. Instead of doing it by yourself, the masseuse will assist you to do stretching and deep tissue massage.
Off the top of my head, people who will come to your home (thanks, 'take my survey thread): -Home fitness trainer. -Home mechanic. -Home safety inspector. (for the paranoid) -Home gaming trainer. -Home platonic companion. -Ladies man coach (teach men how to pick up women) -Cougar coach (teach women how to pick up younger men)

A store where you can rent anything. Kinda like if you included a pawn shop and a tractor supply within a rent-a-center. TVs,tools,stereo equipment, ps3, etc. Even throw in cars and trucks!!!!!
Yeah, it has to be feasible. He hasn't mentioned capital yet. I think it has to be in or near my hometown, Jonesboro, Arkansas.
You manufacture the following device: it contains a webcam w/ microphone it contains a wireless network card small chip for minimal OS this device finds your household wireless internet, plugs into your TV, and uses the webcam to Skype. This small box turns any household TV into a video conferencing device.
Food expiration date changer. You sell this device to grocery stores and they can change the expiration date on food. Think of all the money they will save by not having to throw out expired food. The device will remove the old expiration date and print a new one on the product. You have 35 milk cartons about to expire? No problem, just use the device to change the expiration date.
