More than 600,000 small businesses are started each year in just the USA alone. Recently there's been a new trend of companies being formed in a particular sector. BookingKoala is a platform that helps you start a business in the service industry. Since it's been founded by Filip Boksa and Vivek Prajapati in 2017, today it's home to thousands of entrepreneurs worldwide. Below are four of the many small business ideas you can start today.

Home cleaning

Starting a cleaning business can be a great idea because it doesn't cost much to get started. Co-founder Filip Boksa started in the home cleaning industry before founding BookingKoala. Boksa and his best friend opened up a cleaning company in Chicago when he was just 19 years of age. Together they invested $6,000, and within three years of launching the business, they did over $5,000,000 in combined revenue. Both had no experience, no degrees, no connections, and no funding. 

Today the home cleaning industry is most popular on the BookingKoala platform, and new entrepreneurs are launching a cleaning business every day.

Mobile car detailing

According to Boksa, the mobile car detailing industry is gaining immense popularity. Many entrepreneurs start this business because, just like home cleaning, it has a vast demand worldwide. Car wash businesses have already proved that people pay to clean their cars. The idea is shifting, and the detailer or washer can come to you for an extra charge. 

Boksa believes this can one day become their most significant industry because of how quickly it is growing in demand and popularity. When he started a home cleaning business in 2013, he mentioned that Yelp didn't even have this category listed on their platform. Today when you visit Yelp, you'll find that a 'mobile car wash' industry has been added, and the demand for such service is growing. For those not aware of Yelp, it's one of the largest platforms where you can search for the most popular demands a person may have. Such demands are restaurants, services, entertainment, and more.

Mobile pet grooming

If you love being around animals, this might be the right business for you. It's a beautiful business to be in because, typically, an owner will use the same person to service their pet. If you're good with animals and are a people person, you can gain a client and keep them for a lifetime, making this business's ROI (return on investment) a fantastic opportunity.

Another fantastic thing about this business is that it can be quickly grown through referrals. Since you'll be servicing an owner for many years, they will love you and refer you to many of their friends and loved ones.

Holiday light decorating

Many are surprised by this business. It's often overlooked, but it is popular on the platform. Many houses and companies hire others to set up decorations around their property. The price tag to hire someone to do this task will run you a couple of thousand dollars, depending on the size of the property and the length of the project.
