Rating the BEST and WORST businesses to start
In this concise monologue, Codie Sanchez rates a variety of business ideas on a 10‑point scale, pairing each score with brief commentary on startup cost, operational difficulty, and profit potential. She highlights technology services and software development (9/10) and home cleaning services (9/10) as top‑rated despite differing capital requirements, notes perishable food subscription services also score 9/10 but are hard to run, and distinguishes pet care as low‑scoring for dog walking (2/10) but high‑scoring for veterinary services (9/10). Low‑scoring, high‑risk ideas include health and wellness coaching (‑100), virtual event planning (2), MLMs (‑22), brick‑and‑mortar retail (1), and ATM route businesses (‑2). Mid‑range ideas such as logistics and transportation (4.5), vending machines (7), and consulting services (easy to start but hard to sustain) receive moderate scores. The overall purpose is to give aspiring entrepreneurs a rapid, score‑driven snapshot of which business models are promising versus problematic.
