Top 50 List of Best Small Business ideas: Startup ideas 2012

Are you an entrepreneur looking for the best small business ideas? Do you need a list of business ideas or startup business ideas? Do you want to quit your job this year and start a business? Do you want to become a billionaire in your lifetime? Or you will rather become a millionaire? Then please read on because this article is for you.

In this article, I will be revealing the best small business ideas for 2011, 2012, 2013,2014, best franchises opportunities, new startup business ideas, home based business ideas for students and who wish to take the entrepreneurial bull by the horn this year. This list of business ideas will prove useful to all entrepreneurs; regardless of the available start up capital.

An entrepreneur with a startup business capital of $1,000 or less can take advantage of the business opportunities list here just as the entrepreneur with a million dollar startup capital. The only difference between these two classes of entrepreneurs will be their level of play. So don’t be deterred by the magnitude of startup capital at hand; after all, Rome was not built in a day.
Before I list my best small business ideas for the year, I want to clearly state that this list does not in any way replace the need for you to do a feasibility study and come up with a winning business plan, so take note. Also bear in mind that this list does not in any way minimize the business challenges involved with starting a business; neither does it make the entrepreneurial process easier, nor does it eliminate the risk of business failure.
                A useful advice for those seeking the top small business ideas

In as much as I have taken pain to prepare this list, I want to point out an honest truth and that truth is this: “There is nothing like the best business idea or opportunity. There is nothing like the best business environment or business plan, you just have to work with what you have and understand it to the core.” You can find success in any industry or sector you find yourself; all you need is to understand your customer’s need and add a little innovation to your business. I think I have said it all; it’s up to you now to either accept the reality or continue to chase shadows. So if you are still ready for something new; then read on as I share with you 50 best startup business ideas for the year.

An interview with Zimbabwe's most successful mathmetician

Interview with a mathematician. A human mathematician. by Tawanda Gwena Professor Heneri Dzinotyiweyi is probably the most successful mathematician produced by Zimbabwe to date. He was born on March 15, 1950. We skip the next few years of his life, only pausing to say that he went to Fletcher High School for Form 6. Then we come to his university life which started in 1971 when he enrolled at the then University of Rhodesia. There he first studied Mathematics, Physics and Geology, and then went on to Honours in Mathematics. Unfortunately, due to the 1973 disturbances following student demonstrations against racism in the country and at the university in particular (student demonstrations here have a very long history!) he was arrested and imprisoned for the latter half of the year and had to complete his degree in private study outside Harare in 1974. He was the second (the first was J M Harvey, mentioned later) Honours student in Mathematics here, having been taught by p

Zimbabwe mulls SMEs bank

Jun 03, 2012 By Praise Runyowa HARARE - The Government intends to soon open a bank that will exclusively provide loans and other financial services to small and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs).  The initiative is part of efforts to empower the entrepreneurs, most of whom were failing to access loans at conventional banks owing to lack of collateral. In an interview last week, Small and Medium Enterprises and Co-operative Development Minister Sithembiso Nyoni said her finance counterpart, Tendai Biti, was already working on providing funds for the establishment of the financial institution. She said the project would ultimately leverage the sector and encourage joint work among beneficiaries. “The bank will enable those already in business as well as aspiring entrepreneurs to access capital,” she said. “They will become self-reliant; we want investors to come from within the country. We are hoping the bank will benefit them a great deal because they would have a be
