A good business idea could be an invention, a new product or service, or an original idea or solution to an everyday problem. It might also be:
-
a gap in the market that you can fill
-
a business related to the work you do already
-
an interest or hobby that you can turn into a business
Whatever your idea is, you need to be sure that it fits with your needs as an individual, as well as being a viable business proposition.
