Business Ideas For Argentina

[Splitty]

I hope no one is as daft as to hand up their ideas online for free ; )

Well if you are not going to act on it why not? Someone maybe looking for a business partner here or have money to invest.

See the little smiley face, that indicates something not meant entirely seriously.

Good luck.

not in every detail ... but why not point out some possible opportunities ... and who knows maybe even find some co-founders ...

Absolutely, I was being facetious.

Good luck.

- Car washing with girls (or guys with muscles for women) in bikini

Pros: it's a pleasant business
Cons: it's a pleasant business

- Open one place selling Shawarmas (plus open more places after)

Pros: very little competition, would likely work well, not much space is needed (take away only)
Cons: you need employees

- Buy 50 hectares of appropriate land to cultivate black truffles

Pros: can make you very rich in 10/15 years, the luxury market never suffers that much from crisis, middle class is growing in Latin America so will the demand for such products, you don't need many employees (in fact you need none if you live on the spot)
Cons: investment, you need to wait 7 years for the first harvest, you need to take into account the chemical properties of the soil

- Buy a piece of land, your house nearby plus a "vegetal maze" with a small restaurant

Pros: perfect for people who want to be self employed & live in the province, not that many employees needed (depends on the restaurant), original idea (all the parents in the vincinity are likely to take their kids at least once to visit)
Cons: no business in winter + part of autumn



I got many more ideas (more or less serious).

Iced tea. Tall glass. Lots of ice. With a lemon wedge. The kind they serve in Alabama. Now THAT would get my business.

it's far from Alabama ice tea, but coke just started selling ice tea here under their FUZE label. comes in peach and lemon in a plastic bottle.
very sweet, but works wonders for hot days and hangovers!

Empanadas To Go ..! A young man sells warm empanadas at red light on Sta. Fe Ave and Larrea.. Very Successful with pedestrian and cab drivers that don't wish to park and go into a kiosk

I do believe the whole slightly more upmarket "to go" market has potential here. Reasonably priced, strongly branded coffee stalls at the major train/bus stations...possibly with some sort of branded sweet produce. If you had the time and inclination to stake out some of the major coffee shops in and around train stations in Palermo, microcentro and recoleta near the office blocks in the morning you would soon see where the queues in the coffee places where and could supplement nicely. Mobile element would let you move on into the parks at lunch time in Palermo and Recoleta.

Pros - mobile, should have a relative low start up cost and a reasonable return so long as you can bottom out quality vs pricing.

Major Con - seguridad ! ...i wouldnt wanna be the patsy lugging the money around town. You'd need to get sweet with the local police and maybe have a fairly stealthy cash collection process to get your earnings off street into a bank.

Sandwich delivery. In a similar vein to Kosta's sushi, in various slightly out of town locations I have worked before (business parks etc) a guy would arrive in the office and present a load of sandwiches, he would go floor to floor and office to office out in the business parks. Every day he would get rid of a few hundred sandwiches if not more. Not sure what the catering is like in business parks and would also be interested if Kosta experiences any challenges with building security, in my office at least they are very vigilant. American visitos (from the US..ok ok) often comment that our regional office here has more security than in the US. We have biometric access protection.

Pros..low complexity, if you can source an area with high worker density (big business park) you can sell out without much travel.

Cons...doubts about local tastes..sandwiches for lunch? Price (much margin)..access etc. You could make empanadas I suppose but the beauty of the sandwich is the lack of real cooking required. Lower cost to produce.

See...i am playing nicely.

Simple home security and surveillance installation with ip cameras. Did a few installations/configuring for friends here and then it got out of hand. Too may requests. I brought the cameras from the US. Do not know how difficult it is to obtain cameras in Argentina because of import restrictions. If you can get the cameras, think a peso or two could be made with some basic computer and internet setup skills.

You can get a little app which lets you view the IP camera via by iPhone (assume Android too). Friend has one for his shop in Ireland.
