May 15, 2010 14 Comments

Question: I am working in Insurance Company as a MIS Executive in Goregaon. I want to start a small part time business in Mumbai with a minimum investment in my house. I have two ideas i.e.

  1. One is fish aquarium
  2. Another is bring wet cashew nut from Kokan district and sell into local market in Goregaon, Mumbai.

It will be great if you can guide me. My email id is Kindly reply ASAP.

Starting and Doing Part-Time Business in Mumbai

Answer: Both the ideas you have selected are called in house trading. It is the trade done inside the boundaries of the country. It is very easy and feasible as well. If you take the first idea in to consideration, it will require more capital than the other one. Because fish which you buy from one state should be kept in cool place and it will require a big warehouse with cooling facility.

While in cashew nuts, you can go alone and can get some kgs of cashew nuts and sell it in your place. It will fetch you more earnings than the first plan in the initial stage. Later on once you are well equipped with the capital, contacts, warehousing capacity etc., you can start the fish aquarium as well. So every thing will start with small and later on the picture becomes larger.

It may be a Ltd. Company after some years down the line.
So think rationally and take wise decision.
Thank you.

    Mr. Samir,
    To start with teh mentioned capital, I would sugest you to go with the first option. If you are a good writer then you can be a freelancer writer.
    The hotel thin is not feasible in this much capital. So it would be better to go with something which you can do with your job.
    If you need any further assistance, you can surely ask questions here. We are always here to guyide you. This website is to guide people to their destiny.

    Mr Scott,
    I am currently studying, and looking out for starting a small business with a couple of friends, hopefully import and export, but can you elaborate a bit on freelance writing, i have written a few articles here and there, but never considered writing as an option.

    Mr. Alaap,
    Freelance writing is as same as other writing jobs. The only differance is that here you are not bounded by any company’s name or company’s profile.
    You just write articles for some websites and you get paid for that. Normally people who do jobs and have extra free time then they spend their time in some productive activity which can fetch them some money.
    If you need any further guidance, you can surely ask your questions. Every question will be answered.
    Thank you

    Ms. Rashmi,
    The field which you are talking about is under tremendous demand. You just need to learn fine arts or you can get the paintings done from others. Then you frame it properly. Then you have to conduct an auction kind of exibhition. You need to distribute the proposals to the concerned people with bird-eye information of your paintings.
    Or you can sell your paintings to your personal contacts as well.
    Thank you.
