Business Ideas for Green Entrepreneurs

Environmentalism isn't just for wackos anymore; consumers across North America are trying to lead more environmentally friendly lives and becoming more conscious of how damaging many of our current practices are.

As someone thinking of starting a small business, starting a green business has two advantages over starting any other kind of business.

Top 10 Home Business Opportunities

Are you one of the many people searching for a hot home business opportunity? Then this list of the best home business opportunities based on current and future trends may be just what you're looking for.

I say "may be" because these home business opportunities are not suitable for people who are looking for "a money-making machine" or who "want to make money in their sleep" or any of those other phony promises.

Nor are these home business opportunities for people who expect to just make an initial investment and then just watch the money roll in. Successful home businesses are real businesses. To turn a home business opportunity into a success, you need to be prepared to work at it and have the appropriate knowledge and skills that you need to run any business.

But those caveats aside, here are what I think are the best home business opportunities - best because of their potential right now and because there's going to be a even greater demand for these products and/or services over the next few years.

The Best Business Opportunities of 2012

Much has been said and written about the crumbling world economy and its potential devastating effects. In one sense, it doesn't matter if you're thinking of starting a small business or investing in one; people will always have needs. The trick to starting a successful small business is to discover what needs they are willing to pay money to fulfill and then bringing those people together with your products and services. Even during the American Great Depression, some people made money.

Here are what I think are the best business opportunities of 2012.


1) Cloud Migration

2012 is the year that a lot more businesses will store and do a lot more 'stuff' in the cloud as a lot more businesses become aware of the advantages of cloud computing and less afraid to put more data up there. Big business will lead the way on this but small businesses will follow – meaning that cloud migration, helping businesses switch from on-site data storage and applications to cloud-based solutions, will become big business itself.

Siapa Mau Pinjaman Modal?

Kalau ditanya, Anda mau Pinjaman Modal ? Pasti kita langsung ngangguk pada detik pertama. Tapi kalau ditanya, Mengapa perlu pinjaman? Untuk apa pinjaman nya? Berapa besar? Berapa lama? Dari mana sumber pengembalian pinjaman nya? Nah, baru kita menelan ludah dan garuk-garuk kepala yang tidak gatal.

Karena sesungguhnya pinjam meminjam itu ada “filosofi”nya. Ini yang jarang dikuasai orang. Tanpa memahami nya, memang pasti kita akan kesulitan menjawab pertanyaan-pertanyaan mendasar tadi. Ini yang ingin saya bicarakan.

Tips Seputar Pinjaman Kredit Tanpa Agunan

Kredit tanpa agunan merupakan salah satu cara Anda untuk memperoleh uang yang cepat baik digunakan untuk keperluan bisnis, biaya mendadak dan modal usaha.

Kemudahan proses peminjaman membuat kita jadi tergiur untuk menggunakannya dan juga tanpa barang jaminan sama sekali. Namun tanpa kita sadari bunga flat yang ditawarkan sebenarnya bisa berkali lipat dari jumlah pinjaman awalnya.

Namun banyak sekali yang akhirnya terjerat dan tidak bisa mengatasi hutang dari kredit tanpa agunan ini. Disini ada beberapa tips dalam memilih kredit tanpa agunan yang tepat:

Membeli Rumah Tanpa Uang Muka

Sekali lagi bahwa properti itu unik. Satu lokasi dengan lokasi lainnya memiliki perbedaan. Boleh dikatakan bahwa properti sudah terdiferensiasi. Bisa kita lihat berapa harga jual tipe 36 di perumahan A dan dibandingkan dengan tipe yang sama di perumahan B. Itu dari harga, belum dari diskon, dari spesikasi bangunan, dari fasilitas rumah maupun fasilitas umum kawasan.

Berbeda pula dengan harga jual mobil yang sudah terstandarisasi. Harganya relatif sama untuk penjualan di Jakarta jika dibandingkan dengan Bandung, Cirebon, Surabaya dll. Pun jika terjadi selisih harga, anggap saja itu adalah beban pengangkutan.

Di sinilah letak kunci dari membeli rumah tanpa uang muka. Apalagi developer kadang memberikan diskon bervariasi. Celah diskon ini dapat kita manfaatkan sebagai uang muka.
