With the grip of the virus finally easing out from our lives, it’s probably the right time to reimagine your entrepreneurial dreams. The global economy went down in 2019, but it’s now slowly on the rise. And if you have always dreamed about having your own small business in Canada, 2022 is the right year to take the leap. And in this article, we have curated a simple list of small business ideas in Canada which you can think through before becoming an entrepreneur. Let’s dive straight into the ideas then.
1. Real Estate
As mentioned earlier, the economy is rising. And with a flourishing economy, the idea of people buying and renting homes, offices, and condos will be in fruition. Almost all the real estate companies in Canada are small-to-medium sized. So, if you are interested in selling properties, you can start with your own real estate firm in Canada. For this, however, you will have to keep your fingers on the pulse of the local market and you’ll have to be really good with people in terms of communication. The real estate sector in Canada is a profitable option to consider if you wish to start your entrepreneurial endeavor.
2. Monetize on an Existing Hobby
This one is second on our list because if you have a hobby that you think you can monetize on, you are already halfway there. For example, if you make soaps at home, or can create lotions and creams at home, or if you are an artist who paints, or can curate gift baskets, you can think about a way of selling these to other people. How to do that? Well, that’s easy. You can create social media pages, post pictures of your products, and sell them.
3. Waste Management Service
It is quite natural for a country to witness a huge accumulation of waste with a rising economy. The business will expand, more paper will be used, old electronic products will be tossed to make place for the newer models, construction debris will pile up, and so on. And all of these waste materials aren’t good for the environment. So, this could be a good opportunity for you to come up with a waste management business that will help the environment and make way for a sustainable future. You can be one of those conscious entrepreneurs who will not only make profits in terms of money but will make the environment profitable for all species.
4. Financial Services
Are you good with finance? Do you have an interest in accounting, bookkeeping, financial management, or consulting? If yes, you can consider starting a small business which will take care of this knowledge of yours to help other humans. You can help other companies save on taxes and streamline their bookkeeping or accounting processes. This business of yours can lure clients, who will also be willing to pay you handsomely for your know-how.
5. Fitness Centre/Lessons
The pandemic made all of us sit at home. And due to this, there has been a rise in unhealthy lifestyles. Basically, humans have become lazy and unmotivated due to the constant lockdowns. So, if you have a passion for fitness, you can start motivating others on how leading a healthy lifestyle can help them. You can start giving online lessons on yoga, HIIT, CrossFit, and so on. In some time, you can even start your own fitness center. This could be another very profitable business in 2022 when we all are slowly moving out of slumber forced by the pandemic.
Wrapping it Up,
Starting a business will give you the opportunity to earn for yourself and be your own boss. And if you have that entrepreneurial bug buzzing in your head all the time, it’s probably the right time to take a step forward and listen to your heart. All the best!
