Five Awesome New Small Business Ideas For Entrepreneurs

1. Airbag For Bike Riders. The "D-Air System" is a component of a bike riders jacket that engages in 40 milliseconds if the device knows that the wearer is falling.

Such a lifesaving device appears likely to become legally essential for all bike riders to wear given the legal imperative of cars to have airbag systems since 1989 in the United States. This seems like a classic case of a overdue device probably protecting many lives.

2. Visual Illusion 'Truckvertising'. OK, even if marketing on big vehicles like moving billboards has been around for ages, making wild, striking and provocative image-based creations with those marketing spaces has not.

What a cost-effective way to promote your new entrepreneurial venture in your local area or as a commercial operation in itself. The vehicles also serve as advertisements for such a business.

3. Miss Army Knife - The Girls Only 'Swiss Army' Knife - Get It? (a.k.a. Miss A Kit) Designed for ladies, the Miss Army Knife, similar to its famed boys opposite number, has a range of tools in one convenient device yet for women's use. Features on the Miss Army Knife encompass tweezers, nail file, safety pin and corkscrew.

4. Piezoelectric Night Club. Exploiting the demand for environmental initiatives in all facets of our daily lives, a British dance club - "Surya" - uses piezoelectricity (whatever that is) by fulfilling about 60% of its power requirements from its bespoke floor system when clubbers dance on it. The green entrepreneur in charge is 35-year-old property baron Andrew Charalambous who asserts that his stunning innovation is the world's first green dance club. The venture's slogan? "All you have to do is dance to save the world".

5. Fair Trade Product Vending Machines. Fair Trade merchandise are developing shelf real estate in regular food market retail chains via items including coffee (around 50% of coffee sales penetration in Tesco in Britain reportedly) and sugar and so the next commercial phase is to sell Fair Trade stuff by way of vending machines - most notably in socially active environments to begin with, for example higher learning facilities and university-type environments.

This actually allows individuals the practical means to do generous things for our world unlike them just having the obscure, unfulfilled wish to offer help.
