If you have £1000 to start a UK firm, consider a low-investment, low-resource project. Some £1000-budget business ideas include: Virtual assistant: Provide administrative or creative help to customers remotely using technology to save expenses. Content creation: Monetize a blog or social media page with ads, affiliate marketing, or sponsored content. Online tutoring: Use Zoom to tutor a topic you know. Offer home cleaning or gardening services to local households or businesses. No matter the company, you need a strategy, budget, target market, and flexibility to grow and change.
