How to choose a business idea?

A good business idea doesn't start with a stroke of genius — it starts with demand: someone has a problem and will pay to have it solved. That's why every idea in the database spells out exactly who it helps, how you reach the customers and what the model earns on.

The second criterion is you — your budget, time and skills. You can build a business a few hours a week alongside a job or full-time, online from home or with physical premises. The catalogue filters lead you to ideas that fit your situation, not the other way round.

Every idea comes with real numbers: what the launch costs, what margins to expect, and a calculator you can feed your own values into. You compare facts, not enthusiastic headlines.

?How do I start a business while employed?

Pick a model with low startup costs and a few hours a week — online services, content, or selling without your own stock. That's what the catalogue filters are for; every idea shows its time and money demands up front.

?How much money do I need to start?

It varies by orders of magnitude: online services start from a few hundred euros, physical premises run into tens of thousands. Every idea lists rough startup costs plus a calculator you can run with your own numbers.

?What business can I run from home?

Online services, content creation, e-commerce without a warehouse, consulting, social media management and dozens more. You'll find them in the catalogue under the relevant categories — including what they actually involve.

?What exactly does each idea include?

A description of the model and who it suits, a step-by-step launch plan, the risks, real numbers (costs, margins, payback) and a calculator that takes your own values.
