I'm looking for low cost business ideas, I have $10,000 to invest?

You might want to take a look at a low cost - fast growing business, on the wellness revolution, which is rather a trend than a fashion. This business will allow you to achieve a linear income while building a residual income, which can grow as much as you want to make it grow.

Initial investment is far less than $10,000, and if you are willing to invest $800 , the initial return rate is 42% (monthly basis)

I'll be more than happy to be of assistance to you.

Hi, Depending on what kind of business you have in mind, I invite you to look at Arbonne. There are a lot of men in the business. It is a Swiss Skin Care company and also health and wellness item. http://www.wonderful.myarbonne.com There are links to listen and read about the company.

Don't be lured by claims of huge fortunes.

You've probably heard that 9 out of 10 businesses fail in their first year. I don't know the facts behind that, but I know its definitely true for IPOs (Initial Public Offerings).

If you're not relying upon this income as your primary source, I'd recommend doing a little research on Yahoo! Finance and looking into Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) like the SPDR fund that follows the S&P 500. It is fairly safe (for it to crash, 500 companies from different industries would have to crash at the same time, at which point you have bigger concerns) and normally reports between a 10-12% growth rate every year (minus the costs of the fund, which are normally pretty minimal). Of course, this is an investment, not something you withdraw that 10-12% from every year, so keep that in mind as well.

And no, I don't work for Yahoo! Finance or the S&P 500, I'm a finance major in my junior year, so my education is fresh in my mind and very current.

However, if you want to take on the risk, more power to you. Things like newspaper stands don't take much investment, and in a good area like near a train stop, near an office complex, etc will be a good revenue source.

Best of luck.

I would start a pet setting service. Most of your money you can spend on mail outs in a zip code area near your home. Buy insurance and spend time doing network at chamber meetings, dog/pet stores, spca and finally trave agents. Good luck and send me 1% for the advice.
