So for example, if you spend Rp7 million in initial capital, then you can get a profit of around Rp14-15 million.

Home Laundry Business

Do you live in a big city or close to a campus? Usually people in big cities, workers, and students who migrate do not have much time to wash their own clothes. They often use laundry services around their place of residence. For this reason, opening a laundry business has the opportunity to get big profits. The initial capital to open this business is also only Rp10 million with a projected profit of around Rp3 million per month.

Moreover, the capital needed to open this business is also not large. KH pals only need to spend capital to buy some washing equipment which is relatively cheap. For example, KH pals issued capital of Rp1 million. Then you offer a washing rate per pair of shoes of IDR 50 thousand, meaning you only need 20 pairs of shoes to return your capital.

There are also small capital businesses that can be tried by beginners and the profits generated are also promising. So, have you decided which small capital business idea to try?
