10 small business ideas for women in 2023

10 small business ideas for women in 2023

Historically, women have been disproportionately represented in the professional world. The business world has been largely seen as a male-dominated arena in the past, but since the turn of the century, women have fought for more and more seats at the table. 1

In this article, we will dive into 10 great small business ideas for women in 2023. We will set the scene with some background on how women's entrepreneurship looks around the world and why more women should start small businesses. To wrap things up, we will review a few tips for running a profitable small business.

Table of Contents

Women’s entrepreneurship around the world

Why women should start a small business, 10 small business ideas for women, 5 tips for a profitable small business, sell on alibaba.com.

As more women are empowered to follow their dreams and claim their rightful position as leaders in a variety of industries, more women are starting businesses around the world.

In fact, recent studies indicate that there are as many as 10 million SMEs with at least one female owner. In the United Kingdom, for example, 40% of micro-businesses are woman-owned. This is a jump from 32% in just two years. 2 Even with this growth, only 1 in 3 businesses in the world are owned by women. 3

Although women are beginning to step into more powerful roles in the business world, it is important to acknowledge that some cultures make it more difficult for women to thrive in leadership. Some nations have rules on who can and cannot own property, we recognize that this puts many women at a disadvantage.

There are many reasons why women should start businesses. Some are focused on what they can gain, and others are focused on paving a path for those who will follow.

Let’s take a look at a few motivations that women have when starting a small business.

For some women, passion is the biggest driving force. This could be a passion for an industry, a specific product, or some other mission that they hold near and dear to them.

This passion could stem from a specific experience, or it could tie into an overarching desire to make a name for yourself in the business world.

small business idears for women

For others, there is a desire to have better control over their income. As an entrepreneur, you can remove the limits capped by your salary in traditional employee roles. As the saying goes, “money talks.”

Money isn’t everything, but it can be a powerful resource for finding freedom and power. Creating this wealth gives women more power in their communities, which is very important. It gives these women a voice to make a change.

Opportunity

Some entrepreneurs have a keen sense of knowing when to jump on an opportunity when it jumps up. Think of the past few years when an item goes viral on the internet, and immediately, everybody wants one. These are things like fidget spinners, pop fidget toys, beauty blenders, and other gadgets.

If demand arises and someone has a solution to satisfy it, starting a business is a no-brainer.

Some women are driven by the idea of creating a legacy. In this situation, the woman often wants to create something that is larger than herself. She may want to create something that outlives her.

Whether they want to create generational wealth or make the road smoother for future women entrepreneurs, their goal extends beyond themselves. Sometimes the goal is notoriety, and other times the goal is simply to create something for the founder’s family, friends, or mentees to have for years to come.

When it comes to small businesses that women can start, the opportunities are endless. However, digital business endeavors tend to be attractive among aspiring entrepreneurs because, in many cases, the barrier to entry is much lower.

With that said, let’s review 10 small businesses that women can create online.

1. Dropshipping

If you are looking to ease into entrepreneurship, dropshipping is a great way to go. For those who aren’t familiar, dropshipping is a business model that involves selling products and then outsourcing fulfillment to a third-party supplier.

With the dropshipping business model, the seller doesn’t have to hold any inventory. This is great because it is low-risk and doesn’t require much of an initial investment.

It’s important to note that if your goal is to build a strong brand, dropshipping may not be the way to do it since so much of the customers’ experience relies on your fulfillment partners.

2. A traditional e-commerce store

Starting an e-commerce store with in-house order fulfillment is another option. With this kind of business, you can create your own products or source items from a wholesaler. You can even curate collections of items from various brands.

When you create a traditional e-commerce store where all of the business operations are under your control, it gives you an opportunity to build a brand.

This type of business requires a bit more of an investment than a dropshipping business, but it can still be done without a ton of resources.

3. Manufacturing

If you have the resources to get started, there is a lot of money to be made in manufacturing.

Since manufacturing requires owning or renting a factory and purchasing the machinery and materials upfront, this type of small business requires a relatively hefty initial investment.

However, this initial investment should not deter you from starting a manufacturing business since there are ways to secure funds. Some options to get startup funding include grants, business loans, or investors.

4. Wholesaling

Although manufacturing is technically wholesaling, you can also start a wholesaling business that doesn’t involve manufacturing. You can source items from a manufacturer or another wholesaler to sell to your audience, still in bulk.

You may wonder why this is necessary since a manufacturer could sell directly to retailers, but there are many instances where an intermediary is valuable. This is especially applicable in exporting .

5. Online courses

If you have a skill that is particularly valuable or you’ve developed a method that others can replicate to achieve some sort of results, you should consider creating and selling online courses.

You can sell your online courses on your own site or on a marketplace. If you want to create an online learning business that extends beyond you, consider creating a marketplace that features courses from other experts or educators.

6. Content writing

Content writing is a valuable digital marketing service, and women with sharp writing skills should consider it as a business opportunity. You can either build a career as a freelancer, or you can create a content writing agency.

Some specific services that you could explore in the content writing category include:

  • Search engine optimization (SEO) content writing
  • Website copywriting
  • Ad copywriting
  • Social media content and copywriting
  • Grant writing
  • Scriptwriting
  • Email writing

Editing is a similar service that you can offer alongside freelance content writing or as a separate offer.

No matter what path you decide to take, make sure to sharpen your skills before you start selling your services. You need to ensure that your writing is high-quality so that you can provide the desired results for your clients.

7. Brand strategy

So many small businesses have popped up in recent years, but there has been a widespread disconnect when it comes to brand building. Many new business owners fail to understand the importance of creating a persona for their businesses that connects with their audiences.

That is where brand strategists come into play. This type of professional provides services that help businesses create a cohesive brand presence, complete with visual style guides, logos, brand voice, and more.

8. Web design

Website design is a valuable service since many businesses are treating their websites as fully-functional alternatives to their brick-and-mortar stores. The goal is often to create a branded experience that urges viewers to take the intended action.

A good web designer can create the perfect balance of aesthetics and functionality. The site should represent the brand well and provide prospective buyers with answers to all the questions they may have.

Like content writing, this is something you can do freelance or with an agency.

9. Web development

Website development is a counterpart to web design that brings a site to life. A web developer takes the design and turns it into an active website.

This typically involves some technical know-how. Some designers use a drag-and-drop site builder as the foundation of their work, and others specialize in custom coding.

Development and design can be offered by the same business if you have members on your team who are capable of both.

10. Event planning

Event planning is another great idea for aspiring women entrepreneurs who have a knack for organization and are on the social side.

Event planning is great for women who want a flexible work schedule since you can take on as many or as few events as you’d like. However, it is worth noting that party planning can also come with some abnormal working hours.

Some types of event planning businesses you could start include:

  • Corporate event planning
  • Virtual event planning
  • Musical event planning
  • Wedding planning
  • Family party planning

Although these different types of events require the same basic skills, focusing on just one or two types of events is a great approach since it gives you the opportunity to build authority in a niche.

small business idears for women

Now that you have a better idea of some of the top small businesses for women to start online, let’s take a look at a few tips you can apply to make your women-led business profitable.

1. Understand your audience

The key to any successful business is understanding your audience. You need to have a clear idea of who you want to serve and the value you can provide to them.

Creating an ideal customer profile that defines exactly who your target audiences are and what they want is an activity that you should do early on. Your findings from this activity should drive all of your business decisions moving forward.

2. Create strategic partnerships

No matter what your business is, there is value in forming alliances with other businesses in your industry. Partnerships can open doors to new opportunities and help you grow your business.

You can collaborate on product launches, act as affiliates for one another, and more. There are really no limits on what you can do with brand partners.

3. Prioritize community

As you create your partnerships, it is important to prioritize community. This includes the other female entrepreneurs in your circle and the community you’re serving.

When given the chance, lift other women up. Don’t push them down. Create opportunities, and never gatekeep. This will reflect positively on you and your brand, and it will make a real change in your community.

4. Lead with honesty

As an entrepreneur, you’ll encounter people who lie and cheat to get to the top. This may provide short-term results, but it won’t set you up for sustainable growth. That’s why it’s very important to lead with honesty.

Leading with honesty will help build trust amongst your team, peers, and customers. Plus, when you prioritize honesty, you don’t have to worry about getting caught up in lies and facades.

5. Be confident

As a woman in business, there are times when you might feel intimidated, but it is important to recognize that you are as capable and intelligent as your male counterparts.

With that, it is crucial to exude confidence, even if it requires you to “fake it ‘til you make it.” Even if you’re nervous, sometimes it is important to put on a brave face and just put your best foot forward.

A B2B e-commerce marketplace is a great tool for female entrepreneurs that want to start an online business. Alibaba.com, for example, is a platform for wholesale trade that facilitates trade between B2B buyers and sellers from around the world.

Our global marketplace is equipped with a variety of tools that help suppliers connect with more buyers and make more sales. Some of the most notable tools include Trade Assurance , brandable Minisites , and keyword advertising . Alibaba.com also hosts a variety of sales events and virtual tradeshows throughout the year.

Open a seller account to start selling in no time.

Open a business where you provide the kind of knowledge and selection your target market could only dream of finding from their neighborhood grocery and put your affinity for a particular type of cuisine to good use.

Women may choose and source the products from artisans they love and trust to establish their own gourmet food business. Find local producers of the food you would like to sell by asking around in your neighborhood. These producers are typically amenable to cooperation, especially if they receive a share of the earnings.

If a physical site is too expensive to start with, you can begin by establishing stalls at local markets and food festivals when it comes time to sell. Alternatively, you can also start your online store by delivering to a larger customer base.

46. Tour Guide

Interested in your state’s or city’s local history? Think about working as a tour guide. To perform the job successfully, you will undoubtedly need to do a lot of studies, but that’s half the pleasure. Offer tours that focus on a particular aspect of the history of your neighborhood to set yourself apart.

How to find the best business idea for women?

You can use the above list and review all the options you like and make a list of them. Then, analyze the options and see which one is best for you and your family. There is a well-known saying that “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take”. Therefore, you need to think out of the box when you review the options, as the more the risk, the more you can earn.

Questions to ask before starting any business

Here is the list of questions that one should ask yourself before opting for any business idea:

  • Will this business be a part-time source of income or make it the main source of income?
  • Analyze and see the business start-up cost plus the monthly fixed expense to run the business. Then, check how much you need to invest in the business initially and where would it come from?
  • As per your schedule, see how much time you can spare in the business? Of course, this would also depend on the first question.
  • Think and ask yourself if you want to use the skills and experience you already have or you want to start with something entirely new?

Once you decide on the type of business you want to commence, start looking for other things such as location, team members (if required), financers, look for the vendors from where you can buy the raw material at the lowest prices etc. All this takes time, and after reviewing all such factors, you would analyze the cost of the business set-up.

No matter whatever business you choose for yourself, remember that you can always use others’ wisdom who have done the same business. Talking or taking advice from other female entrepreneurs can help you in averting the mistakes they might have made.

Also, as per the experts, you need to make a schedule in such a way that you get time to rest and relax as well. Also, read articles of other female entrepreneurs as that can help you gain insight into their life and issues they faced while making a balance between work and home.

Are you ready to start?

Multi-unit residential properties are among the most reliable recession-proof investments available. That’s where Emma Powell built her company, which today manages more than 300 units and earns revenue of over $25,000 a month. Listen to her podcast interview below to hear how she got started in investing: 

#2. Restaurants

Opening a restaurant is a risk, but it’s one that can pay off big time. The female-owned Panda Express chain of restaurants had revenue over $4.5 billion in 2022 , for example. The industry as a whole is projected to reach $997 billion in 2023, so there’s plenty of revenue to go around in this industry. 

For those who don’t have the financial resources to open a brick-and-mortar business, food trucks are great business ideas for women. Jen Gustin started Boss Mama’s Kitchen to break free from her corporate job and become her own boss. Two years later, she was named Food Truck of the Year by South Sound Magazine. Hear how she grew her business in this video:

#3. Human resources

When Janice Bryant Howroyd started her human resource management company, she only had $1,500 to her name. Now, it’s a $2.5 billion firm with more than 17,000 clients around the world. 

What makes HR one of the top business ideas for women is that it’s always in demand. Every company needs employees to function, and managing that team is a challenge for many entrepreneurs. If you excel at communication, leadership, and organization, you can make a good living helping them solve that challenge. 

Jessica Miller-Merrell started her HR firm, Workology, in 2005, and has gained national recognition, being honored by Forbes as one of the top recruitment resources. Hear her story and advice in this podcast:

#1. Build custom sheds

If you’re looking for fun business ideas and love building things, a small business making custom sheds can be a great way to earn money. While you will need some construction knowledge and permits, the licensing requirements are less stringent than with full home construction, giving it a lower barrier to entry. 

Susan Frair drew on her expertise in sales when she started Shed Gal, and in a few short years, grew to the number one shed dealer in the state of Washington. You can learn more about her business model and how she finds business opportunities in this video:

#2. Make your own beauty products

The manufacturing segment of the beauty industry is massive, valued at $49.7 billion in 2022 . There are still plenty of underserved niches in this market, too, and if you have ideas for products to fill them, it can be a very lucrative business idea. 

Charmaine Nicole started her small business, Black Hair and Skincare, based on her own struggles to find beauty products designed for people with alopecia. She’s grown it not just into a successful business, but also a community for people of color around the world. Learn how she started and grew her business in this podcast interview:

#3. Start your own shoe or clothing line

The fast pace of change in the fashion industry is both a challenge and an opportunity for female entrepreneurs. On the negative side, it can make sustaining your own business a challenge. That said, the fashion world is always looking for what’s next, and that makes a clothing or shoe line good business ideas for women able to anticipate these trends. 

Afshan Abbas was inspired to start a new business, Fuchsia Shoes, after buying a unique pair of artisan shoes in Pakistan. That proved to be a lucrative business venture, especially once she partnered with online influencers. Hear her full story in this video:

#1. Start an online store

Selling products through an online store is one of the easiest and most affordable online business ideas to start. It can be a very profitable business idea, too, especially if you have digital marketing skills or a large social media presence. 

As far as what you can sell, the options are just about endless. Jewelry, custom apparel, and home decor are popular niches, especially for those who enjoy productive crafts like knitting and woodworking. 

Jazmin Richards, for example, started making clean-burning candles for her own use. She turned that into an online store, Blk Sunflower, and made $300,000 in her first 18 months. Hear how she grew her business in this video:

If you’d rather not deal with inventory, a print-on-demand store can make an excellent small business for women. Kerry Egeler from The Shirt School shared his advice on starting a custom apparel business online in this podcast: 

#2. Make and sell online courses

One advantage to online courses is that they’re a mostly-passive source of income once you make and release them. Because of this, an online course is one of the best online business ideas for women who are parents, students, or otherwise can’t always devote full-time hours to a business. 

The biggest challenge with an online course is that you have to put in a lot of time to make it before you can start earning revenue. People who already create educational content have an advantage here since they can repurpose blog posts, lesson plans, or other materials into their courses. 

For more advice on how to make money online selling courses, check out this podcast interview with Jacques Hopkins. He turned his hobby playing piano into a very lucrative business idea:

#3. Social media management

Social media marketing has become the go-to way for both online and brick-and-mortar business owners to connect with customers. Many small business owners don’t have the time or skills to effectively use social media for their small businesses, though, or the budget to hire an in-house social media manager. 

This makes opening your own digital marketing agency a good business idea for a business woman who has social media management skills and experience. With a 2022 market size of over $193 billion and an annual growth rate of 19.4%, there is ample profit to go around in this industry. 

The biggest challenge of opening your own business as a social media manager is often finding clients and building their trust. Jason of Socialistics shared how he started and grew his marketing agency in the video below:

#1. Photography business

Have you ever wanted to turn a hobby into a lucrative business? Check out how Korbin and Whitney started out, turning their passion into a business they find enjoyment in doing.

There are a variety of ways to start your own photography business from home. You could convert a spare room into an in-home portrait studio, provide mobile photography services for events, or work with other small business owners to help them make marketing materials and promote your brand. 

If you’d rather set your own schedule, a photography business can also make money online by selling prints or print-on-demand products in an online store, taking on freelance clients, or selling stock images to websites like Shutterstock or Getty Images. 

The variety of potential revenue streams is one reason it’s among the best business ideas for women at home who have an artistic eye and photography skills. As you gain skills and grow your brand, you can even make money sharing those skills through a coaching business or online course. That’s how Katelyn James Photography makes a mostly-passive 7-figure revenue with her photography business. Hear how she did it in this podcast interview:

#2. In-home childcare business

Offering childcare services is an excellent way for moms and caregivers to become small business owners. As more companies call their workers back to the office, babysitting and childcare services are increasingly in demand, especially in urban areas with a high number of potential customers.  

The advantage of an in-home daycare, as opposed to a nanny or babysitting service, is that you can watch multiple kids at once, expanding your potential revenue. 

#3. Wedding planning business 

If you excel at organizing parties, meetings, and other gatherings, event planning is a great business idea to pursue. Wedding planning specifically is one of the most profitable business ideas in the event planning niche, with a market value of around $900 million in the U.S. in 2022.

While people of any gender can work in event planning, the majority of wedding planners are female entrepreneurs. Not only is this an easy small business idea to start from home, it also has low startup costs and ongoing expenses, with typical profit margins of up to 90%.

These low costs are one reason it’s among the top home business ideas for women who are skilled planners and communicators. Since most weddings take place on the weekend, it’s also among the best side business ideas for ladies looking to make extra money to supplement a full-time job.

#1. Freelance writing business

Freelance writers can make money in a lot of ways. The type of content you write can range from a blog post or news article to an entire book. The flexibility freelance writers enjoy makes it a great side business idea, as well as a potential full-time job. If you’re skilled with grammar and detail-oriented, you can expand your services with a freelance editing business.

It also doesn’t cost anything to become a freelance writer, and you can start your business online from home. This puts it among the most popular small business ideas for girl students, as well as an affordable online business for women with a strong command of the English language.

#2. Graphic design business

For visual artists, doing freelance graphic design work is a great way to make extra money, and is among the best home business ideas for ladies with artistic skills. People and businesses who need logos, website graphics, and other images often hire freelancers on platforms like Fiverr and Upwork . Create an account, and you can start making money right away.

You don’t need to take on clients to start your own business in graphic design, either. Another option is to sell products featuring your designs. That’s what Vlad Kuksenko did when he started his 7-figure Etsy shop TagPup (see his story in the video below):

#3. Data entry

You don’t need much to offer data entry services—just some basic computer equipment, an eye for detail, and decent typing skills. The low barrier for entry and flexibility of the work are ideal for women seeking home-based small businesses they can easily fit into their life.

#1. Interior design

Interior design is among the best small business ideas for women who don’t just have an artistic eye but are also able to bring other people’s creative vision to life. Making connections with other local small businesses is often the best way to grow a business in this niche, so it’s a great small business idea for creative women who excel at networking.

#2. Virtual bookkeeping business

Keeping track of financial transactions is critical for a small business, and virtual bookkeepers help business owners to do so. While you will need strong math and accounting skills, you don’t need to be licensed as a CPA to start. 

That lower barrier to entry, along with the flexibility and low startup costs it offers, is why a virtual bookkeeping business is among the top business ideas for women who are mathematically-minded.

#3. Resell shoes or vintage clothes

If you have a knack for finding the best items at thrift stores and garage sales, reselling is one of the small business ideas you should consider. 

All you need to get started is knowledge of fashion trends and brands and a minimal budget to get your first items. You can reinvest the profit from those sales to grow the business further. Sneak City started this way, with just $50 and working out of a garage. Now they’re a thriving brick-and-mortar business with multiple storefronts. They shared their story in this YouTube interview:

#4. Professional organizer

Being a professional organizer is among the best business ideas for women who have both right-brain and left-brain intelligence. 

Organizers help others to declutter and order their homes, offices, or other spaces, improving their clients’ mental health along the way and giving them tools to maintain the system you help them establish. To do this, you need a lot of empathy and strong communication skills, along with analytical, problem-solving, and spatial reasoning skills.

Since you’ll work in the client’s space, this is among the top business ideas for women at home, and it also offers a low start-up cost and high flexibility. The biggest challenge is often establishing your reputation to build a client base. If you’re a strong marketer or networker, that can be an advantage for growing your new business faster.

#5. Start a farm

People don’t think of farming as a lucrative profession, but the truth is the median household income of farmers was $92,239 in 2021 , higher than the American average. Roughly 89% of farms in the U.S. are small businesses, so there’s a lot of room in this space for future women entrepreneurs who want to work the land for a living. 

Marion Acres started from scratch in 2012 as a way for two families to grow their own food. It’s now a thriving chicken farm with its own market and processing plant. You can see how they got started in this video:

#6. Dropshipping business

Dropshipping is an ideal way for women entrepreneurs to make money online and set their own schedules. In a dropshipping business model, the things you sell are stored and shipped from elsewhere, giving it very low start-up and ongoing costs.

The flexible time commitment of dropshipping makes it a great way to start your own online business while still working a full-time job, and it can bring in enough revenue to serve as your sole income stream if you have the time to commit to it. 

Heather Johnson started her print-on-demand dropshipping business to make extra money when her hours were cut during the pandemic. In a few short years, she’s grown it to $15,000 a month in revenue. Hear her story in this interview:

#7. Open a bakery business

Like other businesses in the food industry, opening a bakery can be a big investment, but with an equally big potential payoff. It’s among the best small business ideas for women who love to bake and love interacting with people.

There are many niches you can choose as a bakery, too. Some focus on treats like cupcakes and pastries, while others make bread and other baked goods to sell to restaurants and stores.The right niche for you will depend on both your interests and your local market.

#8. Personal trainer

The fitness industry is large and growing, projected to reach a total market value of $5.77 billion by 2027. This makes a fitness training business a great small business idea for female entrepreneurs who are passionate about exercise and health. It’s also a potentially profitable business, with the average independent personal trainer earning just over $54,000 a year in take-home income. 

A personal trainer business has very low upfront costs, in part because you don’t need your own brick-and-mortar storefront. You can open a home-based studio if you have the space, or offer mobile services, working with clients in their homes. You can even offer remote services with video conferencing, or in an online course that can serve as an extra passive income stream.  

In this interview with Bedros Keuilian, see how this self-made entrepreneur went from eating from bins to making $200 million a year with his franchise Fit Body Boot Camp and business coaching company Empire Systems.

#9. Home, office, or Airbnb cleaning business

Cleaning is one of those things every home or business needs but most people don’t like to do. This makes it a perfect business idea for women business owners who enjoy bringing order to chaos and don’t mind getting their hands dirty now and then. 

Chris Mondragon started Queen Bee Cleaning with about $5,000 and now teaches other business owners how to do the same in his 7-Figure Cleaning Business Blueprint . You can see what a typical day in his life is like in this video if you’re curious about the day-to-day of starting your own business:

The variety of cleaning jobs available is another reason this is a great business idea. Chris gets a lot of his revenue from cleaning Airbnbs, in addition to his residential cleaning clients. If you’re not sure which niche to choose, do some market research on the services already offered in your area to see where there’s a gap you can fill. 

#10. Life coach

A life coach helps their clients overcome challenges in their career, relationships, or other areas of their life. That makes it a very rewarding career and the best business for women who love helping others thrive. If you’re the person your friends always turn to for advice, becoming a life coach is a natural way to start your own business sharing that problem-solving talent with others. 

#11. Laundry business

Laundry is a universal chore, but not everyone has the equipment at home (or the time) to do it themselves. A laundry business provides a useful service that’s consistently in-demand, making it a great choice as a woman-owned small business. 

Opening a laundromat does require more up-front investment than other options on the list. On the plus side, though, it has potential to be a mostly-passive income stream with the right team. Hear how Rosie Wash Express Laundry started and grew her laundromat business in this interview:

#12. Baby equipment rental business

Baby equipment is expensive—which makes it even more frustrating considering how quickly they grow out of it. A rental business lets you help parents get high-quality equipment for less. It’s among the best business ideas for parents because you can make money from items your kids have outgrown rather than letting them sit unused.
