Easy Start Up Business (Concession Stands) ($200-$5k)

I say any job is good when you work for yourself, it could be worth investing in a concession stand if you are looking to start a business for around $200-$5k. If you don’t want to personally do the work, you can hire some employees or friends to go in on the business and share the profits. To get started you need a vendors license ($25) and a place to sell on the streets (you could go to parks, pools, grocery stores or business parking lots). Below are some ideas for having a concession stand business.
