Small (sought-after) business ideas in Singapore?
Small (sought-after) business ideas in Singapore?
Hi there,
I'm wondering what small businesses/services are lacking in Singapore, either to cater for expats or locals or both?
Something small scale, perhaps, that people would readily spend some of their disposable income on if it were available.
Gaps in the market (if any)... that's basically what I'm interested in.
Thanks, J.

Oh yeah.
My own opinion is that if you are ill-equipped to come up with your own idea... you will go nowhere. Starting a business is seriously brutal. You have no business, no plans, well, bye bye.
In other words, you can read 200 iterations from 'How to be a millionaire by 21'. But that's worth s***, those who really do it, don't read or need those books.
You of course will devour this opinion and come back with a fresh 20 questions. Refreshed, wiser, revitalised, nay excited because of your perhaps greater knowledge.
Come on... happy to try and guide you.

You only need a truck and a strong pair of arms.
We really need that service around here...

I think LTA is getting ready to crack down on illegal mods both on bikes and cars as well, including the favourite mod, changing exhaust systems.offshoreoildude wrote:The high end motorbike market is taking off here. Restorers, custom bike builders and most importantly some good accessory shops for high end bits (not crap) would do ok.
