Entrepreneurship is the ultimate future. More and more people are choosing business over jobs. This trend has also created a saturation in the common business industries in Pakistan.

Career Counselling firm
In today’s world based on varied choices and subjects, it has become the need of every student to find the right option for them so that they can be successful in their career. You can take advantage of this issue and can start your own career counseling firm. In countries like Pakistan, there is a huge gap for this business. Most of our institutes pay no heed to career counseling. This way, a bunch of untrained and unguided graduates keeps flooding the industry. Teach them what to do, tell them how to do and you will be rewarded.
For a startup, you need little investment in manpower and infrastructure. But you will get high returns based on this one-time investment. You can also connect your firm with big companies and get a return for every employee which they hire.

Wedding Planning
This type of business can be started within a budget of one lac, and it has high profits once started. Nowadays people hire wedding planners to arrange their wedding due to lack of time and skill they prefer to hire wedding planners.
If your question is how to start this business in one lakh rupees as wedding planning is a huge gig. You might be right. However, you do not know the tricks I am about to disclose.
In wedding planning, you can charge your clients upfront, maybe 50% or more. Once you have that amount, you can spend that on planning the wedding and then get the rest of the amount later.
You can start low and slow by asking your own friends and family to give you a chance. This is the best way to start making money and start making a healthy portfolio for future openings.
To start a wedding planning business you require a website, Facebook business page, marketing budget, Connections with wedding halls/Marques, Decoration and catering business to provide these services, a small office, and a portfolio of your past work to show your clients.

E-Commerce Store
We saw how daraz.pk made millions by introducing the online shopping portal to Pakistan. We saw how thousands of other stores jumped in and joined the party. However, analyzing the eCommerce business in developed countries will tell us that there is still a huge gap for eCommerce business in Pakistan. So, how do you start a successful online store in Pakistan? There are two ways.
- Ask an Ecommerce Partner
This means that you can contact a Software House and tell them that you would like to start an online store in Pakistan. They will tell you the charges of developing an online store for you and then you will start selling. This way you will get complete guidance on starting and running this business. - Start selling on the available marketplaces
There is a bunch of marketplaces in Pakistan where you can start selling your products. For example, you can simply register an account on daraz.pk and start selling your products in days.
So, what would be the best choice? In my opinion, it is best that you go with your own online store. It would take more effort and more investment out of your pocket, but it would definitely be much more productive and beneficial in the long run. Selling on other marketplaces could just be a push start experience for you.

Transportation of services from one place to another has been ongoing since ancient times. For starting this business, you need to hire assistants or a courier person who can manage orders effectively. You also need to be sure courier products reach a destination within time and without any damage to the product.
Starting a full-fledge courier service is not possible in one lakh rupees. I am talking about working for the local restaurants in the first phase and then growing as time progresses.
