I would look into it in your most local municipality. It could be as simple as a basic business license as all you require..
With selling to local shops and restaurants I am not sure at all myself how much oversight that may or may not require.
I'd say as beginning and small scale, you will prob have no issue. But would def dig into it if/as you grow and conduct more commerce.

I just started a party rental business. Bounce houses, tables and chairs, stuff like that.
This is just a side hustle, I have a day job still.

You could look into rental arbitrage?

Basically, you find a landlord that's willing to let you sublet. You furnish the unit (this constitutes most of the upfront cost). Then you rent it out as either a short term rental (less than 28 days) or medium term rental (more than 28 days, less than a year).

It becomes more of a hospitality business/job than real estate investment. In the beginning you clean the units your self and handle the guest communications. As you scale, you start to build out a housekeeping company and hire someone else to manage guest communications. Ultimately, you can expand the housekeeping company outside of just your rental arbitrages, and you can use your setup to run other people's vacation houses for a cut of the profit.

Ideally, you negotiate with the landlords to get multiple units on a 3 year lease for cheaper rent, no deposit, and a couple months of free rent up front. This way you have a better profit margin and can make back most of the cost of the furniture in the first couple months in order to keep growing the business.

A lot of the success of such a business depends on what your local laws are like and what the current short term/medium term rental market is like. You can find a lot of furniture for cheap on Facebook marketplace or if you live by a college then you can typically pick up furniture for free at the end of the semester.

I have a small scale version of what I just described that makes ~$200/mo/unit, but that's largely because I only do medium term rentals which have a lower profit margin.

Don't waste money on a course about this sort of stuff. You can find everything you need to know for free if you search around.

Start any service based business. Cleaning, exterior house-washing/pressure washing, window cleaning, etc. Low barrier to entry, high demand for the work, better pay than any hourly wage job you can list... Unless you are an Engineer, IT, Tradesman or Salesman... Double edged sword, because after 18 months I now have more work than my body can physically do. Still have a full time job. Can't afford to work less, can't physically work more. Still not making enough to put a dent in life. And I can't find any help for the business. So i started another service business with higher barrier to entry and more knowledge required - and less sacrificing my body. That business is not paying any bills yet, but it will next year. I'm going to keep sprouting some service based businesses until I can stop making peanuts at my 10-year tenured project management career in an industry that doesn't pay well. I will add, my first business that I started was done so by delivering Uber Eats food every night until I had enough equipment to get going...

People will always tell you 'this business is saturated, you wont make money, etc'. Saturated businesses are great, that means there's high demand and a lot of losers operating in that world. If you become the top 3 in your region, you will easily get your market share.

Only, at some point I lost my soul. Because all I can do is pursue money now due to the crazy cost of living, and I have never been interested in that world. i used to just work my 9-5, rent an old house, drive an old car and have plenty of free time. That is no longer possible... Takes a lot of man-hours to make an OK living anymore.

I don't even own anything, I am just doing all the above and renting a house.

What about using ChatGPT to write ebooks, paying to get them narrated professionally, then uploading them to sites like Audible?  Potential passive income...?

I have very difficult time now as I have absolutely no idea what to do next.
My friend sent me these PeopleReady reviews , maybe I will contact this agency for some help.
In general I am not a huge fan of hiring agencies, but at the moment don't have much choice to be honest.

I currently work in Residential and Commercial emergency services; Fire, Flood, and Mold jobs. It's actually a very good field to be in with profit margins for the owner being generally between 40-50% per job.

I have been wanting to start my own little business as well and landed on cleaning flooring. Steam cleaning carpet and cleaning tile and wood floors. Pretty low upfront costs and potential to make a decent, steady income.

I also do day trading of stocks but I don't recommend this in our current economy. Stocks are still a great way to invest but day trading has become much to volatile for the inexperienced to have consistent success.

As someone else said, any Service business is a good start. Learn a skill and pimp yourself out. Window cleaning, Painting, Demolition, Carpentry, Plumbing, etc.

Very cool!

I currently do a Yard and General House labor service gig and its definitely has been paying off! Im thinking of expanding it to Consumer Product At-Home Assembly as well, i might find some extra work that way.

I've been working as a Realtor servicing Metro and Greater Atlanta GA for 4+ years, next month I am going to take the GA Brokers exam and finally be the Principal broker for my RE brokerage. I fell in love with helping clients get the home they desired, especially when they did not see homeownership as even a possibility, but my talents are business development/structuring. Being the Principle broker of my RE brokerage allows me to pursue my passion, teaching.

Getting here has been a journey. I had to go through periods of failure and loss to get to success and wins. The truth is failing and succeeding are reflections/revelations of the mind/God and the angle/angel of the perception/perfection of our inner domain/demon.
