Business ideas from 1 to 5 lakh contain all businesses that can be started

within this range. I have invested a lot of time in this section because
huge number of people have a budget in this range. Bear in mind that I
am going to describe the requriements of each business in detail and
these details will contain the major slabs that I mentioned earlier.

Let’s start with the most common business ideas.

1- Homemade Food Delivery Business

This is a business where you can cook one or more dishes at home and
can deliver to the customer’s doorstep. The dishes could be desi food,
special cakes, pastas or fast food. The choice of dishes may be defined
by your expertise and the budget you have.

i- If you have about 5 lacks in your pocket, you can deliver a different yet
better Pizzas or Burgers via one of the food delivery networks. For
example, Foodpanda, EatOye, Careem or Bikea. De Macho’s Pizza works
on this model. They might start a dine in soon but the current profits are
coming from Foodpanda.

ii- If you have a budget of 1 lakh in your pocket, you can start with one
special dish. For example, Sarang Sindhi Cuisine in F-11 markaz
Islamabad started their business via special sindhi biryani at home. The
owner is a lady and she runs a pretty good setup in F-11 markaz now.

iii- You will find several housewives selling these fantastic cupcakes and
event cakes online. The business could be started by creating a facebook
page and displaying some of your creations. Just keep in mind that if you
do not like Foodpanda, you will need someone from the family or from
the neighbourhood to deliver your dishes to the customers.

Requirements: You will need the budget, yourself or someone who can
cook, a kitchen.
Education: No education required.
Expertise Level: Entry level, the dishes must taste very good.
Time: Part time in most dishes.
Area: Nearby your kitchen. For example, an area of 20km around your
home kitchen.
2- Local Food Stalls
If you are thinking that a huge number of stalls are already there on the
streets, you are right. However, we at investinpak are suggesting our
readers to be innovative. Let’s see how innovative you can get.

i- I found this small local food stall business idea online and I think it is
pretty much untapped in Pakistan. This is by all means innovative and
looks pretty tasty. Everyone is selling potato chips, you just need to be
innovative.
You do not have to be a vendor yourself, you can get someone to sell
them for you. One of my buddies started this in Lahore and he is
absolutely sure to invest more in this business. These local food stals
could be seen as a startup experiment that require minimum setup
budget and time. Once the startup starts generating profits, you can get
a shop nearby and start a full fledge restaurant.

I would advise against starting a restaurant without prior experience.

Most people having 5 lakh in their bank tend to start a fast food
restaurant. I have seen dozens of people failing and losing their money.
You need to introduce something new and you need to do it small to get
some experience.

Requirements: Equipment for spiral potato. Someone who could sell for
you.
Education: No education required.
Expertise Level: Entry level.
Time: Mostly in the evenings or at night.
Area: Nearby market, institute or office buildings.
3- Online Business like eCommerce
This is where you will require at least some knowledge of computers. You
will find a huge list of software houses that are ready to create these
ecommerce stores for you. All you need to do is find a product that you
can purchase at a wholesale price and then can deliver to the customers
at a retail price.

You can also buy running businesses from Flippa and start earning from
day 1. You will need extensive knowledge of online businesses to be able
to buy a profitable business.
i- If your budget is around 1 lakh then you will be restricted to
purchasing products from local markets. Because a good software house
will charge at least 50,000PKR to create a sustainable ecommerce store.
A bad looking website will only help you lose the rest of your money.

ii- If your budget is around 5 lakh, then you can consider ordering
products from Alibaba and then selling them in Pakistan. This is
profitable if you can chose a product that can help people. You will need
to do extensive research on selecting a product and a vendor from china.

Running an ecommerce business from local products or from Alibaba products is

tricky. If you are interested in doing this business, leave your contact details in
the comments and I will contact you.

Requirements: A website or a Facebook page, products from local

markets or from Alibaba.
Education: Basic computer knowledge. Good knowledge of import
incase of Alibaba.
Expertise Level: Mid level.
Time: Online businesses are 24/7. Call timinngs can be managed.
Area: The city you are living in, to begin with.
4- Fresh Milk and Related Products Home Delivery
This is one of the most profitable business idea in Pakistan. The reason
behind is that Milk, Butter, Desi Ghee and Cheese are required in every
kitchen. On top of that, we know that 99% of the local vendors are not
providing pure milk and related products.
All you need is establish a Facebook page to start delivering these
products. The question is, where do you get them and how much money
do you need for thi?

Let’s evaulate the business in detail.

All of these tools and essentials can be bought within one lakh, but if
your budget is near 5 lakh, you can increase the quantity.

A cow or a boffalo, someone who can manage the same. A person who
can deliver milk at door steps. If you have more than 3 cows or boffalos,
you can start extracting butter, desi ghee or cheese. You will need an
expert who has the experience of doing so. These people can easily be
hired from your nearby village.

Trust me, anybody who finds out that your products are actually pure will
never end doing business with you. On top of that, you will get regular
appraisals and customers from these references.

Requirements: Cow or buffalo, a person to manage them, delivery guy.

Education: No education required.
Expertise Level: Mid level.
Time: First half of the day.
Area: Nearby colonies, Muhallas.
5- Organic Farming Business (preferably Greenhouse)
Greenhouse farming is different from the regular farming we have been
witnessing in Pakistan. A greenhouse refers to a space where certain
conditions of temprature and humidity are specified for certain plants to
grow faster and better. Organic farming is where all plants and fruites are
grown without using the modern chemicals and Fertilizers.

The reason I am suggesting greenhouse organic farming business is that

the need/demand for organic food is increasing by the day. Have you
heard about BioMonde? It is the biggest organic food store in France
owned by a Pakistani Entrepreneur.
Similar startups are required in Pakistan as well. These stores can make a
hell lot of money if you do it right. The first thing you need is a
greenhouse organic farm to grow these products. Once you can create a
circle of supply and demand, you can go for your own organic food store
in one of Pakistan’s largest cities.

Requirements: Land, at least 5 marla.

Education: No education required.
Expertise Level: Mid level.
Time: First half of the day.
Area: Target market could be any city near you, the bigger the better.
