Starting a business is one of the most challenging yet fulfilling things you will ever do in your life. Entrepreneurship is no easy feat but those who have taken this path will tell you about the immense pleasure it withholds.
One of the most common fears for any entrepreneur, first-timers or experienced, is the fear of loss of money and especially if it’s a heavy investment. But the right business done rightly can propel you into a life of luxury.
Pakistan has a wide range of opportunities for investors and entrepreneurs. It is an ever-growing area and attracts investment and funding from big shots, such as China, continuously. Lahore is one of the metropolitan cities of Pakistan and has deep potential, with talented and ambitious people, coming up with innovative ideas and ever-ready to work hard. It is one of the biggest and busiest cities in the country and one of the best areas to put your money in. But sometimes barriers such as money constraints and lack of ideas may hinder their paths.
So, we have brought you a list of business ideas, from low to high investment that you can start in what some call Pakistan’s Paris: Lahore.
1. Food Business In Lahore
Food is one of the most diverse industries you can start a business in. And especially in Lahore, which is known as the city of foodies. Food is a big part of the culture of Lahore, with varieties ranging from western to Pakistani food you can find it all here. People here love to binge on food. And people are always looking for newer tastes to discover.
You don’t have to start a posh restaurant or a high-end coffee shop to be successful in the food business. You can start a Dhaba, which is a small roadside eatery, for as low as Rs. 10,000 to 20,000. Or you can start a bakery and food shop. If you have the investment, then you can even start a high-end restaurant. But there have been many stories of small ice-cream shops or food shops turning into big businesses.
The chances of loss in the food industry are very low. One thing that you must master to grow the business is efficient marketing. Some restaurants offer the usual but with very stylish marketing such as weird dish names or out-of-the-box architecture. With the Internet everywhere, you don’t necessarily have to spend big bucks and can even catch attention with low-budget but efficient marketing. Such as offer unique deals or unusual dishes for special days like Independence Day. If you are opening a bakery then, you can decorate food items in special ways or special boxing. Creating extraordinary customer service is the key.
2. Wedding Planning Business idea in Lahore
If there’s one business that is always going to be in demand in Pakistan, it is wedding planning. Wedding season is celebrated with immense zeal and zest all over Pakistan with a series of extravagant events. Lahore is the cultural hub of Pakistan. It has a deep and rich culture that is portrayed in its festivities. And weddings are at the top of the list of those festivities. It definitely is a bid and special day for the bride and the groom and the entire family as well. So, it comes as no surprise that the said party would want all the arrangements to be intact. For this purpose, they would likely hire a wedding/event planner.
There is a lot of work to be taken care of like catering, lights, stage, decoration, etc. And all need to work smoothly. You can either hire organizations with specializations to do the said work as a decoration business or you can build up your own team which can take care of all the requirements of a wedding day.
This business would require a higher initial investment than a food business. You can start it as a sole proprietorship or with a trusted business partner as well which might ease the process of fundraising.
3. Clothing business idea in Lahore:
Clothes are never going to be out of demand. And you must have seen those mad fights at lawn sales. Everyone wants a piece of the newly launched summer/winter collection. So, if you have a penchant for design and can collect an initial investment, then, you must get into the clothing business. It’s lucrative and fun as well.
You need to know what the market demands are and what kind of clothes people like wearing. You can choose a niche like clothes for children or for upper-class women etc.
In this business, the marketing needs to be really on point. You can market on online platforms like social media. You must also create eye-catching and unique posters and headboards. If you are targeting high-end customers, you have to spend more money on creating a luxury image around your brand.
All in all this business can prove to be highly profitable if you can connect with the customers.
