Business idea for GA metro Atlanta?

What are some businesses that can be started in the Metro Atlanta area that would be profitable (within 6months or so time period see some form of a profit).

My first thought was crack dealer, but that would not be good. You have to find something that you enjoy in order for you to give it your all and make it successfull. People in Atlanta like things done for them, so I would think of something that is service oriented. Personal shopper, dog groomer, lawn care, personal trainer something with low overhead and start up costs would be best because your initial profits would be greater.

Good luck!

Any involving food, alcohol or dancing...

It depends on how much money you have to invest, but I know someone that started a moonwalk business this year. He has already made his investment back and profit in less than 1 year. Parents are always having parties for there children or events where they have to entertain the kids!

With Suwanee growing as fast as it is... landscaping would be a good business... all the expensive homes being built in Suwanee right now.. are being bought by Dr's, etc... and they pay to have landscaping done for them

If you like to help people and have $100 or $150 to invest (you could make this back with one maybe two parties) and get a lot of recognition and prizes along the way to the income of your dreams then check out this site.

Based on the question you asked It appears that you're fact finding. So if you're just looking I would suggest that you begin your search at http://www.bizstats.com/sprisk2.htm. This site will help you understand the risk associated with various types of businesses. Once you have a focus, you may consider visiting SBA.gov and look at ways to plan your venture. In Georgia there are several SBDC which offer classes and advice, some are free. Depending on the community that you're considering opening your business I would also suggest you contact your local Chamber of Commerce to assess the need in your community. Also visit www.entrepreneur.com. I hope that this helps you get on the right track. Without proper planning there is no quick profit in business. Good Luck!
