How these were chosen
- Every one of them passes our own scam test — no pay-to-play, no recruiting, real customers paying for real work.
- You own the customer relationship. It isn't someone else's platform lending you a spot.
- It can genuinely be run from a house, a spare room, or a garage.
- Start-up cost is stated honestly, including the ones that aren't cheap.
- No income figures anywhere. We say what it costs and what the work is. We never say what you'll make.
These are only estimates. We rely heavily on our community experts. If you're doing this business and you think we got it wrong, let us know what you think the costs are to get started.
Before you spend anything. Licensing notes here point at a category, not at advice. Rules differ in every state and for every trade — check with your own Secretary of State, your city or county, and a licensed professional before you commit money. We can tell you what to go ask about. We can't tell you what to do.
Do not make a financial decision based on anything you find here. Everything on these pages is public information anyone can look up. We've organized it so you don't have to go find it all yourself. Talk to someone you trust before you spend money.
