Most local businesses took a hit because of the pandemic that harshly impacted almost all types of enterprises worldwide. Only a small percentage of businesses reported that they were not affected by the lockdowns and that they have even profited from it.

For this reason, some business owners, and even those who may have lost their jobs during the height of the pandemic are looking into opening a new business, and a more resilient income stream. This article will discuss some opportunities worth looking into.

And the good thing about the commercial cleaning niche is that both residential property owners, and business owners could be a client.

Online tutorial agency

And even if schools have reopened already, most parents may now prefer hiring virtual tutors. Having an online tutorial agency can be profitable as long as the business owner has a knack for teaching, mastery of the subjects he plans to teach, and the network of other possible virtual tutors to hire in case the demand would swell.

Dropshipping enterprise

Since online delivery services are the name of the game post lockdowns, more and more consumers are now relying on shipping and delivery services. Delivery services may be saturated in most localities, but the good news is, some niches are not covered yet. For instance, those that are beyond basic goods are not usually included in delivery apps, and some local businesses have yet to join mainstream shipping services because of the costs. Take advantage of these, and open a localized dropshipping enterprise that provides direct delivery services from stores or suppliers to the local client base.
