These are there best business ideas for LOW EMPLOYEE businesses.

This is not the gig economy like a working plumber or electrician where you're swapping time for money, these are business ideas that mean we are building a commercially profitable enterprise that works without you in it.

At the moment I employ over 1200 people across many different types of businesses. One of my companies does £10,000,000 in revenue and spends £5,500,000 on labour whilst another one of my companies does £3,000,000 in revenue but only spends £200k on labour... the latter is the type of business I want to talk about today.

So what are these low employee business ideas?

Building a business is very difficult, never mind actually making decent profits. Over recent years my business has generated between £30-40million in revenue... but I'm still paying myself the same as I was 10 years ago.

Where is all the money going?!

It's actually very taxing to cash out of a business, especially as the business continues to grow and you need to reinvest the profits to continue employing people, buying companies, stay on top of cash flow etc etc. because as I always say - Keeping the cash flowing, keeps the business going.

But there is another way that allows people to build serious, generational wealth. (Legally and with low taxation.)

Sound too good to be true? That's because it's flipping hard work. This isn't side hustle mentally or get rich quick. This is hard graft.

This is a formula of how dedicated entrepreneurs can build serious wealth in a matter of 5 years and this article dives into the exact steps business owners need to make in order to reach that top 1%.

How James Sinclair started:

Starting out at 16 as Jimbo the Partyman, James initially built an entertainment agency. He set himself the goal of earning £40,000 a year and owning a house by the time he was 20. By the time he was 17, he was already fully booked every weekend for a year ahead and was turning over £500 - £1000 a week. At age 20, he secured £700,000 from 21 separate lenders to buy and set up his first soft play centre in Basildon. Within a year he was turning over £1 million. James then quickly established a complimentary chain of day nurseries to generate term time income and grow the business.
