 Specialist Classes for Disabled (e.g. Martial Arts,

Archery, Pottery, Swimming)

CONCEPT: Like the so-called ‘able’ population, the

disabled love to participate in a broad range of sports,

arts and recreational activities. With over 650 million

disabled individuals across the world, the market for such

services is significant.

STRENGTHS: Fun; feelgood factor; positive local

media attention; outdoors-based work; relationships with

disabled and their carers.

WEAKNESSES: Not many – venues and equipment

can be hired on an ad hoc basis.

I think this is can be good idea and very nice gesture but i really don't know how it can works i don't understand everything...

assessor, not someone with a potential conflict of interest.

A flat-fee approach is recommended.

STRENGTHS: Can be operated from home; no

provision of products therefore no inventory; sufficient

expertise and experience should significantly speed up

examination process; senior-friendly small business.

potential.

 Rabbit ‘Hotel’ Owner

CONCEPT: Jacky Hall, a British entrepreneur,

recognized the need for the care of small pets, including

rabbits, while their owners were away on holidays. To this

end, she opened a very successful rabbit ‘hotel’ at her

home. Her business is now being franchised nationally in

the UK.

STRENGTHS: Dream job for pet lovers; great potential

for word-of-mouth marketing; for someone with the land,

the overheads are relatively low; senior-friendly small

business.

WEAKNESSES: May only suit those with a large block

of land; only suits pet lovers; pets will require constant

supervision.

I have to smile little but about this idea it can works but a don't want to have million of rabbits in my house maybe better idea to rent some place for this business...

 Etiquette Training for Business

CONCEPT: PR-conscious corporations are acutely

aware today of the importance of interfacing with other

businesses and the public in a professional and

sophisticated manner. As such, they will often invest

considerable sums in training their staff in forms of

business etiquette. Some of the etiquette-based small

businesses below also provide etiquette training for

children and for international cross-cultural meetings.

STRENGTHS: No office required; like other specialized

consultancies, one large corporation could provide many

years of work; senior-friendly small business.

WEAKNESSES: High level communication and

presentation skills essential; only suited to certain types

of individuals; need for thorough, up-to-the-minute

knowledge of etiquette.

I can't understand to everything but i think it can works but i have no idea for this business it's not interesting for me...
