Sri Lanka, commonly known as the pearl of the Indian Ocean due to its natural beauty, is a small island located on the Asian continent. The economy of Sri Lanka, especially after the end of the civil war in May 2009, showed significant growth and development in the tourism, services and export sectors.
Rubber Production
Sri Lanka is a land that offers the right conditions for rubber production. With the increase in demand on both the local and foreign market, starting a rubber business is another great opportunity for entrepreneurs.
Handyman
Do you always correct things at home? Often a call when friends need small projects completed? Collect a website, find out what your time and experience are and start asking friends for thankful contacts.
Sewing and Alteration Specialist
People will always need clothes, edged, and buttons are repaired - and it could be you doing it. If you love sewing, start offering simple services like the ones mentioned above and expand your repertoire for sewing and design while building the client base and research.
Tea Production
Sri Lankan tea enjoys great demand from overseas markets, especially in Iran, Pakistan, the United States and so on. Potential entrepreneurs can earn export earnings in the country by taking advantage of the easy availability of ideal geographic and climatic requirements for tea production in Sri Lanka.
Cement Production
With the construction of new buildings, apartments, houses and other infrastructure in their daily business, starting a cement business is another important area on which entrepreneurs can concentrate in Sri Lanka.
Interior Designer
Similar to landscape design, there are many people who have the opportunity to buy the furniture and furnishings they need to fill their rooms, but few know where to start. It may take some time to build a portfolio, but documenting your projects and sharing them online can create a fan base beyond your wildest dreams.
Consultant
If you have significant experience or knowledge on a particular topic, consider becoming a consultant. You could be an expert in hiring practices, having SEO skills, or having six sales teams reach up to six. If you are good at this, advertise as a consultant and charge the current price.
Real Estate
This activity sells well in almost all countries, even in countries with a difficult business climate. In Sri Lanka, it is possible to start a real estate company that offers land and residential properties for rent and for sale to individuals and companies.
Personal Assistant
Again, if you are organized, a very detailed person, the life of a personal assistant can be for you. Don't want to be connected to an office or a person all day, every day? Consider becoming a virtual assistant, giving you a more flexible working environment.
Consignment Shop Owner
If you have an eye for style, but don't want to invest in a new boutique inventory, consider going to an expedition. It will allow you to build a collection of clothes that adapt to your goals and aesthetics, without the heads of a boutique that sells completely new clothes.
