Because of recession, many lost their jobs.  If we have no job, then how can we pay our house rent, buy food for our family, etc?  We really need to do something in order to live.  If we have savings in the bank, we should use it to start at least a small business.  I asked some of my friends who are also entrepreneurs like me on what kind of businesses that we can start at home.  They suggest many and here are some of the following:

Unique Trophy and Plaque Maker

If you love to work with woods, glasses and steels or irons, do some cuttings and welds, then this home business is for you. Here you will create memorabilia for seminars, conferences, sporting events and other occasions. A cutting and a welding machine are what you will need. Your customers will be companies, schools and offices hosting sporting events, etc. regularly and need souvenirs for them. In this plaque and trophy making, you will earn up to 100 percent on top of your expenses.

Customized Necktie Maker

Here in this home business, you will make customized neckties. To start on this business, you need a patter maker, a sewer, a designer and a sewing machine. Your customers will be people looking for unique gift items and companies needing neckties for employee uniforms. If you can make excellent neckties, you will be able to charge higher for them, you can charge as high as triple the cost of making them.

Aquarium Fish Seller

In this home business, you will be breeding and selling aquarium fish. Initially you will need two to four pairs of fish to breed and an aquarium that is well lighted and well equipped. You customers will be people who love aquarium fish and other breeders also. Your earnings will depend on the salability of aquarium fish in your area. Usually you will make 100 percent plus your cost.

Special Gift Basket Maker

Making and selling special or personalized baskets either alone or with gifts inside is another home business that we can do. To start with, you need baskets, stuffing, wrapping paper, ribbons and the gifts to be placed inside the basket. Your customers will be your friends, schools, agencies and companies. The price of your basket depends on the gift it contains. With this you will make 20 percent of the basket’s selling price.

You can make many home businesses out there, home businesses that needs only small capital. Just choose the one that you love the most. At least you are enjoying on what you are doing and at the same time, you are earning.
