Real businesses, not dream ideas

MyNextBusiness helps you find a business you could actually start where you live, with honest numbers and clear first steps. Swipe through 16,530 ideas, based on about 2,000 real types of business, in the UK, US, Canada and Australia, matched to your budget, time and interests.

Every idea is a business that already exists

We do not invent trendy ideas. Every idea starts from a real type of business that already operates in that country, from window cleaning rounds and dog walking to kebab takeaways and micropubs. Where national statistics exist, we show how many of these businesses there are and how fast new ones are starting.

Where the data comes from

• Companies House (UK): counts of active companies by industry code and by company name, from the official Basic Company Data. Open Government Licence v3.0.
• U.S. Census Bureau: County Business Patterns and Nonemployer Statistics, the number of businesses with and without employees.
• Business categories: the public list of business types used by online maps, filtered to businesses one person or a small team can start.
• Photos: Pixabay, checked for how well they show the business. Where no good photo exists, we show an illustration instead of a misleading picture.

How ideas are written and checked

Idea cards are drafted with AI (Anthropic Claude) from the real business type, the country's rules and typical costs, then checked by a second, independent AI review for realism, local accuracy and cost ranges. Ideas that fail are fixed or removed. Duplicates are merged.

Costs and earnings are estimates for a small start. They are a starting point for your own research, not a promise. Rules and prices change, so always check with the official bodies before you spend money.

Research reports

For a deeper look, each idea has a paid research report, researched with live web search: real supplier prices, licences, what others charge, a break-even example and a 30-day launch plan, all with sources.
