Business Ideas for Women

Zelma T. García-Cordero



Here are some great ideas specifically written with women in mind. These are businesses that women will love starting and growing.

A businesswoman is not a taboo idea as it used to be. Many women today are choosing to open a business because this gives them the opportunity to do what they love. Some businesses, such as a bridal shop, can be done from the home which also gives women the flexibility that they want to balance work and family. For other women, a franchise opportunity in which they make fresh fruit bouquets allows them to tap into their originality and creativity while not having to start a business from zero.


Great Business Ideas for Women

Become a doula– Doulas are expected to provide support and advice to mothers-to-be as they prepare for the arrival of their child. A lot of times their job continues after the birth because they help the family through the first few weeks of the baby’s life. The difference between a certified nurse midwife and a doula is that the former assists during childbirth, while the latter assists the woman more generally in her life as a mother.

Since relaxation of the mother is very important during her pregnancy, birth and postpartum period, doulas often use holistic practices instead of traditional medicine. Massage and aromatherapy are very popular among doulas and they provide simple, non-chemical methods of calming the mother and reducing her stress during this time. There is no official doula certification. The training is for broadening knowledge of pregnancy and childbirth.

Open a bridal shop– The person who is interested in going into this business should become familiar with the latest trends. They should read fashion and bridal magazines and watch FTV. They need to understand cuts, materials and patterns of wedding dresses and about veils, gloves, shoes, and jewelry. This business is related in some ways to wedding consulting.

It is very important to have a website because it will bring a lot of people through the doors. This type of advertising also reaches people from out of town. It is marketing and every business owner today should have one. Having a website gives the business owner a huge advantage over those who don’t have one.

Keeping a portfolio of women wearing bridal dresses is also a great idea. A dress will look different on every woman according to her physical characteristics. Having an album that brides can leaf through will be of great help to them. Also, a good tip is to organize several albums according to price, styles, designers, etc.


Franchises for Women

Get in Shape for Women– This is a new small group, personal training concept that hadn’t been done until now. One personal trainer works with a group of 1– 4 women, in a private and upscale training studio for $19– $29/session. Each session consists of 30 minutes of strength training and 25 minutes of cardio.

The founder has been operating personal training studios for over 15 years. He has gone through the start up of over 75 studios. The process of opening and growing this business consists of selecting a franchise territory, site selection, lease negotiation, studio design, studio build out, pre–opening marketing, and franchise school, among others. The minimum investment required is $93,400.

Edible Arrangements– This is a very original and creative type of business. Edible Arrangements creates high quality, artistically designed fresh fruit arrangements. These are great for birthday parties, anniversaries, or as a thank you or sympathy acknowledgment. They are also great for holidays and make beautiful center pieces for bridal or baby showers and gifts for retirement parties or business associates.

Edible Arrangements supports franchisees through the phases of business development from operations and marketing to accounting and technology. They also provide continued support and guidance after opening day with quality control and operational compliance, among other things. The minimum investment required is $146, 846.


Smart Business Ideas for Women

There are plenty of opportunities for women interested in starting a business. They don’t have to be traditional business ventures, either. Becoming a doula gives a woman the opportunity of being with other women during one of the most important moments of their lives. That is also the case of owning a bridal shop, but with the added advantage that it can be done from the home.

A franchise is a good option for women that would like to own a business but don’t want to start from zero. Those who love fitness can become franchisees by owning a Get in Shape for Women training studio and if anyone is interested in doing something original, Edible Arrangements is a fun business and a chance to be one’s own boss while creating beautiful things. All these great opportunities and many more out there, show businesswomen to be that it is time to go after their dreams!
