Investing in business

If you are planning to start a business post-2020 then you must also consider Covid-19. The pandemic has drastically changed the way people purchase and consume services and products. Words and phrases like socially distanced, masks required, check-in app and vaccination status are commonplace these days.

This has increased and decreased the popularity of various business investment ideas.

Whatever business you decide to invest in, an online presence is a must.

Business Investment Ideas – What about mini-golf?

Mini golf courses are outside but usually sheltered from the weather.  This makes it safer for people to engage in activities and easier to socially distance themselves from one another. Generally, masks are not required to be worn in outside areas.  As most mini-golf venues have one entrance only (usually through an arcade or shop), this makes the check-in process easier to manage.

  • Conduct a Feasibility Study
