I've toyed with the idea of starting my own business for a long time now. I've gone so far as to register a name with the state and have paid my business "taxes" every quarter, although I never owe any taxes because my "business" doesn't have any sales. I've also got a credit card in the business' name that I could use as start-up capital. Right now I'm just sitting on this stuff while I decide what I want to do.
What I really would like to do is buy a garage and open my own performance shop, but because that is beyond my means at the moment I was thinking of just doing small engine repair in my spare time. Repairing and doing maintanance on things like lawn mowers, riding mowers, snow blowers, trimmers, tillers, etc... These small engines are very simple with only basic parts and no computers to get in the way. Very easy to diagnose and fix problems and easy to work on.
Another option I was thinking about is as a service provider for the retail grocery industry but I won't get into the idea here because it's not remotely car-related. It would, however, have the possibilty of growing bigger and faster than my small engine idea because I feel I would be the only one out there that would provide this particular service. The problem would be convincing stores they need it.
What do you guys think? Especially of my small engine repair idea.
