Business Idea - Part Time Work At Companies

There are many small & medium businesses around us. Though they are less glorified, but it is the class of businesses which provide maximum employment. When we think of big businesses, their employee to turnover ratio is very low. They have many a systems that are in place for big companies and hence many things are automated. Against that small and medium businesses are more labor intensive. Main reason behind that being less knowledge of systems and availability of capital. High capital investment facilitates automation and systems. This is not available to the SMBs and hence they are more labor intensive. 

SMBs also are always production oriented and hence they hardly have any team, skill and view to have some systems. When these SMBs approach bigger companies for supply of parts, they are not prepared. Bigger companies have some criteria above their normal requirements. They look at the companies and see if they are quality conscious, whether they will be able to supply in the quantity and quality that they want. Behind all these, they look whether the SMBs are ISO certified. Iso certification will be achieved if systems are in place and the needed filework is done. For facilitating ISO certification, a particular grade of manpower is needed which might be costly. All SMBs cannot keep so costly people. They will be willing to keep a part timer. This is the opportunity which can be tapped by the Consultant. Instead of working at one company at x payment, these consultants can work with 7-8 companies for part time. Each company will be willing to give up to 1/2 x payment to a consultant. If you are able to tap 4-5 companies, you will be well off. You will also have more free time, as instead of working for 6 days and whole day per week, you can work for either 1 day per week or half day per week at the company. As you are consultant, your attendance will also be less important than your work. Once your work is done, you can leave. 

This is just one type of job. You can also think of accounting, HR, marketing, etc. You just have to get imaginative and have to have more confidence in your abilities to take over the role. You also have to remember that you need to give good performance and satisfaction to your customer, so that he is happy and not willing to let you go. This will happen only when you work so good that he depends on you.
