Subtitles section

As an entrepreneur or someone looking to start up a new source of income, it is natural to wonder which businesses will thrive even in challenging economic times.

If you're looking to venture into a company that will be profitable for years to come, we have some suggestions for you.

Before we get into it, remember to like and subscribe if you're new here.

With that said, let's proceed.

In the business world, we call some companies or products evergreen because they stay profitable even when the economy takes a hit.

These businesses don't rely on seasonal trends or gimmicks to bring in customers.

Instead, they offer products or services that people naturally need or want.

So how do you identify a profitable evergreen business?

Well, I've got 9 business ideas you should consider.

Number 9. Waste Management The market for waste management globally is growing rapidly and its prospects are promising.

With the increasing revenue of the waste management industry, there are a lot of business ideas that this field offers.

Whether you're an entrepreneur looking to start a new business or an established business trying to branch out, investing in this industry is worth it.

Some of the options you can consider include the following.

Paper or Plastic Recycling Business, Rubber Cycling Business, Glass Recycling Business, Scrap Metal Recycling Services, Compositing Business, E-Waste Management Business, Mobile Toilet Rentals, and Medical Waste Management Business among others.

Starting any of the above businesses will require a significant amount of planning and organization due to the numerous complicated tasks involved.

Depending on the type of idea you choose, you will also need equipment and heavy machinery for your waste management business.

Number 8. The Transportation Business.

Transportation is crucial for the economic development of a country because it enables people and goods to move from one place to another.

Due to the ever-increasing demand for transportation services, this industry has become highly lucrative.

Starting a transportation company can be quite profitable if done correctly.

Still, it takes hard work and research to make it work.

Transportation businesses can include any type of transport, but they primarily focus on efficient and cost-effective modes of transportation for commercial use.

Some examples of transport businesses are trucking companies, public transportation systems, intercity buses, and courier services.

Some of the lucrative transportation business ideas you can start now include towing services, taxi cab business, trucking, car hire, bus transport services, shipping services, driving school service,

Limousine services, boat charters, air cargo business.

Before you venture into any of the businesses I've just mentioned, you should research the industry, the market, and the current events in your region.

Your research will help you figure out how to develop a solid business plan and get your business off the ground.

Idea 7 Property Management and Real Estate Development Real estate is a timeless business because people will always need shelter.

The global population is constantly growing and will continue to do so in the future.

As a result, the demand for housing keeps rising as well.

A typical business owner in this field makes a profit of 25% to 35% on average.

If this sounds like a venture you would like to invest in, please do so.

When you invest in real estate, you will yield substantial profits in the long run.

It can also act as a reliable source of income as it keeps appreciating.

Though you might face some challenges along the way, you can rest assured that the housing market will always bounce back.

If you're not directly involved in real estate, you can buy a house and rent it out or buy shares in big real estate companies, usually called REITs.

On the other hand, if buying real estate and renting it out is too stressful for you, there are many different ways to invest in real estate, including buy an undervalued property, fix it, and flip it.

Be a wholesaler working as the middleman between motivated sellers and a network of buyers.

Use house hacking, which means you buy a 1-4 unit property, live in one unit, and rent out the others using the rental cash flow to cover your mortgage.

Lastly, you can invest in a real estate investment trust, REIT.

The other option you can take up is the commercial space business.

Such spaces are often more expensive than residential complexes, and hence you can earn more profit out of this.

Like any investment, putting money into real estate or the commercial space business has benefits and drawbacks.

But if you understand the basics, it can help you make the right decisions.

6. Loans and Financial Services People will always need loans and other financial services, whether they want to go to college, buy a house, or go on vacation to their dream destination.

As such, consider starting up a loan business, a financial institution, or providing other financial services.

Some of the profitable business ideas and financial services you can consider include become a financial advisor, become an IRA consultant, provide tax preparation services, or become an insurance broker,

Offer credit repair services.

On the other hand, if you have resources and you're interested in making a large investment, consider the following options.

Set up a debt consolidation company, start up a life insurance company, start a credit card business, and provide investment banking services, among others.

5. Events Management Whether it is a baby shower, funeral, wedding, graduation party, or marathon, events have proven to be a very lucrative business that can rake in so much profit.

As humans, we love to celebrate every significant life event or milestone with an event or a party.

As a result, this trend has enabled the growth and expansion of several businesses in the events sector.

What's more, the events industry has created a market for several individuals from different sectors such as the food industry, creatives like photographers, videographers, graphic designers, and transportation services,

Among others.
