What made us decide that THESE are the best small businesses to start? We had several criteria ...

YOUR SMALL BUSINESS MUST BE INTERESTING, AND CHALLENGING

These two qualities seem to go together. With the hundreds -- no, thousands -- of hours you will devote to this business, it must be a small business that you enjoy, and one that challenges your abilities.

THE BEST SMALL BUSINESS TO START MUST MAKE MONEY

We are talking "business", not "hobby". There has to be financial reward. The reward likely won't be easy money, BUT because you find this interesting, it won't be terribly hard either.

THE BEST SMALL BUSINESS TO START MUST HAVE A FUTURE

Yesterday's pet rock business is pretty well over and done with. We are not big advocates of fads. Use your business plan to build your business on a solid foundation, and it will grow and become the kind of small business that you want it to be, for a long time to come.
