Need small buisness ideas with 100k $ budjet in a 3rd world country
Firstly, I highly doubt anyone on this site will be able to provide you with accurate input on this matter regarding what TO DO.  It's the what not to do that may be possible. That said, if you want to offer equipment for rent, which in a developing country is probably a decent idea, I'd start by asking around and doing some research on what people really need and are wanting to rent.  I would suggest studying other developing/developed countries histories to see what companies were successful around a similar stage as well. I'd start small: pressure washers, generators, concrete mixers, fork lifts, hydraulic ladders, etc.  Getting things that are just a bit too expensive for someone to own and something they don't need all the time.  These can be great revenue generators because they're cheap to purchase, but can be rented at a premium.
What could a small guy with $100 do to make himself not poor To answer the question directly, not much. Short of investing in something at the exact moment before it goes bananas, then reinvesting into a bigger stock and bigger etc, it's super high risk. A better way is to sacrifice some small things, less coffee, less smokes, less going out partying so that instead of having $100, you have $100 a week. This puts you into a situation where you can save enough to become a deposit on an appreciating asset (choose your own asset class, property in AU for me). Take out a loan for as much as you can for your $100 a week payment and make it interest only with an offset against it, distributions from shares can either be reinvested or put into the offset or in the case of property, rent can be put against the offset, pretty soon you end up with a scenario where you have cash offsetting a loan down to nothing but you still have access to the cash, invest into another place and revalue your asset, you can take out any equity that has grown and put that also into your offset. Keep pulling equity and using the money from the offset as deposits on other assets (it kind of works really well on property) and within 15 years you can build an empire with a passive income to retire on. The biggest thing the rich guys get that the poor guys don't is that debt is GOOD, use someone else's money to buy an appreciating asset then when you pay it back eventually, you own the growth. Use debt to buy more debt for exponential growth. Of course, you need to also invest your time to research what you are investing in, you need to know when you make the decision to buy that it will appreciate, it's no good just buying off a tip, you may as well drop your money on the horses if you want to play it like that. Fortunately, one thing we all have in common regardless of our money is time, we have time which we can invest. Does your family go to church?  I know reddit hates religion but churches have been a great source of support for small shops just starting off.  They are a great opportunity to network in your community.  If not, look for other things, toast masters, chamber of commerce.   Get something big on the truck, park it in a well lit-high traffic spot (empty).  I have heard SOME decent things about location based google  adwords.  You may want to check out advertising. Also, make sure he comes up in the google results when people look for plumbers.   Google is the not-so-new yellow pages and a lot of people just start at the top of the list and work their way down when they need someone in an emergency.    Get him to network with General Contractors and maybe the HBA in your area. I assume the same criteria apply for this as your previous question. You want to physically transfer in excess of 50,000 USD multiple times a week and you want the transportation mechanism to be instant or very quick. I don't believe there is any option that won't raise serious red flags with the government entities you cross the boundaries of. Even a cheque, which a person in the comments of OP's question suggests, wouldn't be sufficient due to government regulation requiring banks to put holds on such large amounts. A few ideas :   sell snacks for the trip, or alternatively just raise your prices and give the snacks for free.   Print out a sign with some pictures of where you'll take them, tease the experience.   Install curtains that can be opened or closed in case customers want more or less shade / privacy.  Have a radio or some speaker to play music during the trip. Depending on how tech savvy your client is you could potentially use bitcoin. There is some take of indian regulators stopping bitcoin exchanges, meaning it might be hard to get your money out in your local country but the lack of fees to transfer and not getting killed on the exchange rate every time has a huge impact, especially if your individual transaction sizes are not huge. I'll consent to this. I get it. But the shop itself is making about 80-100k a month in sales. I realize the wind could shift but as long as I recoup the initial 92k I wouldn't be out any monies. It would take almost a year since each harvest period is 66 days but I get what you mean You can get an SBA disaster loan to help cover costs. There are a few different kinds of loans. You have to live in a qualifying area to get one, which you likely do. There are physical disaster loans, which cover inventory, and that may help replace the flowers/plants. They also have EIDLs which you can use to help cover ongoing costs like fixed bills while you get back into business. Important to note these are loans, intended to be low-interest (or at least lower than a merchant cash advance or putting charges on credit cards), and do have to get paid back. There are hoops to jump through too, but they may be your best option, depending on your current financial situation. (You could also go to your local Small Business Development Center for help -- they have free resources and experts who can help you understand your options.) And when you get back up on your feet, get a business line of credit and business insurance so you have a backup plan and immediate access to capital for next time. This article is about Harvey, but same ideas apply for Irma: https://www.nav.com/blog/how-to-get-an-sba-disaster-loan-after-hurricane-harvey-22706/ A Standby Letter of Credit was required by a company in UAE to import Gold Dust from a supplier in South Africa, but they do not have enough cash flow to obtain the Standby LC from their Bank. They found Bronze Wing Trading &amp; availed their required SBLC MT760 without any Financial Collateral. "A hundred different Indian sweatshops low bidding everyone. I would be surprised if any of those projects are ever successful or under budget, but the amateur clients don't seem to care, they just want ""the next Facebook"" built for $100." Also find a way to sell some products to people you drive so they spend more money with you. For example a photo of them on your TukTuk or a small toy TukTuk that's also colored yellow like yours. People will buy them for those kids and for memories "To be fair, while he was harsh and over-critical, he was realistic.    Based on your vague wording (understandable, you think you have a unique proprietary idea) but the other stuff you mentioned, I don't think you can confidently say it'll make ""way over $200,000"".  It doesn't seem like you've done much research at all, have a business plan together, or any credible experience to evaluate your idea without personal bias.    Hope you continue to pursue it, but do your homework.  Learn how to put together a business plan, etc.  Because obviously if you came to an investor with your idea explained in the style of your original post, you'd more than likely be laughed off as a delusional kid." "Im currently working on the line for a major multinational. They regularly take feedback from us for improvements, and in India, one of those suggestions increased direct sales by (reportedly) over 50%. That suggestion? Put a label on card readers that said ""(company name) Authorized Card Reader"". It cost the company less than $10, and now brings in millions per year." Have you tried your local panhandler? She/He will probably accept 50€ in small change. This isn't really the case in Siem Reap in my experience. Hardly any taxis or room for taxis especially in the centre, and every tourist knows it's time to use your negotiation skills.  I imagine if one tuktuk driver put out prices all the others would get pretty annoyed. PayPal. Or even Western Union or MoneyGram.  Despite their fees, there is a reason those companies are still in business.
