How to Start a Manufacturing Business: Plan, Ideas and Opportunities
Question: I am Christopher from New York. I have 3 years of work experience in the field of manufacturing. I need some information regarding to set up any small scale industry without leaving my job. My budget is 10,000 USD and I am expecting returns of more than 500 USD per month.
Please guide me, what should I do?
Answer: If you have some experience in the manufacturing field, you can have a good opportunity to start your own venture. Your experience helps you a lot. Especially if you step in to the same field of your experience, you can do it in a better way than the others.
So I would advise you to start the same business with which you have experience on a small scale. You will not have to run around to find the suppliers, transporter, processor etc. You can do it perfectly.
For those who have no experience, I would advise that they should have a feel of the market first.
Never start a business without having any experience and just by getting inspired by others’ talks.
There are so many options which can be started with a small investment. So the belief of not having capacity of a small investor to start a manufacturing unit should be demolished.
If you have any questions, you can ask your questions here.

Wanted to start a small scale industry, I need some ideas were I can think of investing my hardly earned money and expect some good returns.

Ms. Lewis,
That’s a very normal question and many aspiring entrepreneurs ask this question. There are so many new and innovative ideas to start a new business. The loan facility is there if your business plan is perfect and goon in numbers. Banks will provide the loans. The detailed steps to apply for loans are there in an article of the same website.

Mr. Calvin,
The capital you are having is enough for the business which you want to start.
There are two ways of doing it. Either manufacture or trade. You can start with garments then ready made garments and then on designer dresses. These steps will actually help you.
If you have any thing else to ask, you can ask your question here.
Thank you.

Mr. Rohan,
It is tough to start manufacturing in 30 thousand. You can start with trading. You can start as the first step of trading and later you can start manufacturing. During that time you can collect enough money and experience as well.
Thank you.

Mr. Rohan,
If you are targeting the rural area, you can read some more on rural marketing. The field of rural marketing is very dynamic and interesting. Specially Indian rural marketing is very versatile in nature. The strategy changes because of the change in cultural.
