Could starting a business during the global financial crisis be one of the smartest things you ever do?
While the move might seem counterintuitive, news.com.au suggests a number of small to medium sized business categories are set to flourish as the GFC continues.
Hot SME categories on the list include:
Confectionary - as our economic woes grow so does our passion for small luxuries like chocolate and sweets
Adult retailing - sales of sex toys have grown significantly in the US as consumers spend less time out and more at home
Fresh produce - it's claimed when people stop going to restaurants they start cooking at home with quality fruit and veg
Training and online learning - set to grow as retrenched workers seek out new skills
Home improvement - rather than buying a new home, more people will choose to renovate their current homes
