100 BEST NEW YORK CITY BUSINESS

IDEAS 2023

1. Personalised phone cases

The trend for personalised phone cases
has continued to grow in recent years,
with customers looking for something
that is unique to them. While this is
primarily the domain of high-end brands,
personalised phone cases can can also
be a great idea for small and start-up
brands.

2. Healthy & organic fast food

With the increase in socioeconomic
status, people are becoming more
health-conscious and more interested in
sustainable lifestyle and cuisine. In fact,
organic products have become a trend
for middle and upper socioeconomic
groups, who are interested in
sustainable and healthy lifestyle. The
demand for organic foods is expected to
continue to grow in the future, that’s
why healthy and organic fast foods once
invented are very likely to become super
profitable.

3. AI-based production of a high quality

content
Artificial intelligence is already
increasingly being used to generate
high-quality content (such as photos,
video, graphics, text or music, among
others). Many free or relatively
inexpensive AI content creators can
already be found on the market, so such
a business does not require a lot of start-
up capital. By creating content in this
way, we can, among other things,
generate (and therefore sell) new
content and products that will find
application in many companies
organizations and individuals. For
example, a company can order a creative
report visualizing possible modifications
to its products in the future. Or a
marketing company can order AI-
generated audio for an advertisement
they are creating. Such products and
services can already be created with AI
in abundance. And their quality is
already becoming extremely high in
many cases.

4. Online subscription services for

homes
Every apartment in which a family, a
group of friends, or even single people
live needs certain fixed, repetitive goods
that are used daily, weekly or every few
weeks. To make life easier and save time,
many such products can be subscribed
to the home goods subscription
business. Such services are already
becoming popular, but will certainly
become much more important in the
future. Permanent subscription of
recurring essential goods is also a great
business idea aimed at businesses and
organizations (such as schools or
offices).

5. Urban farming
A viable small business idea to start in
New York City is urban farming. There
are many types of urban farming to
consider, the most profitable of which
include microgreens farming,
mushrooms farming, or auaponic
farming, vertical farming or greenhouse
farming. Agricultural products produced
in this way are ideal for nearby
restaurants, stores and individual
customers (you can find them through
social media, among other things!). Such
a business lends itself well to scaling.
You can even start it in the basement of
your own home, or in your garden, and
then gradually expand it (check out this
successful example of urban farmers).

6. Secondhand retail
A great business idea in New York City is
second hand retail. New Yorkers buy and
also dispose of masses of items. Many
such items have value and can be
repurchased and then resold at a high
profit (you can find many e.g. on eBay,
Poshmark, ThredUp, Bonanza or
Facebook Marketplace). To succeed in
such a business, it is advisable to start by
specializing in one niche of such
seconhand retail, achieve a high level of
professionalism in it, and only then
expand into other niches.

7. Virtual assistant services

With the increasing use of technology in
business operations, virtual assistants
are in demand for tasks such as
scheduling appointments and managing
social media accounts. The range of
services that such virtual assistants can
provide is very wide. It is especially
profitable to provide highly specialized
and professional services.

8. Smart jewelry (startup or a store)

Intelligent jewelry is a combination of
beauty, prestige and cutting edge
technology that makes life easier. Smart
rings, necklaces and bracelets have
become increasingly popular in recent
years, but the market is still
underdeveloped and full of numerous
opportunities.

9. Innovative entertainment
New Yorkers love entertainment fun and
excitement. This is a very important and
broad area full of many great business
opportunities. Examples of such
entertainment business ideas for New
York include clubs, restaurants and bars
in which people wear VR googles,
entertainment lounges in which robots
work, mobile sauna and cold showers
and other mobile entertainment
services, drone display or augmented
reality games set in New York (like the
well-known Pokemon Go). Emerging
new technologies are creating a whole
lot of good opportunities for a new
profitable entertainment business.

10. Rich people daily life outsourcing

Another interesting idea for business in
New York City is to offer specialized
assistance and outsourcing services for
rich people and VIPs who need, for
example, someone to do their shopping
for them, wash their car, mow their lawn
or perform some other task. Wealthy
New Yorkers need professional and
trustworthy associates, so if you are able
to gain the trust of such clients and offer
them the highest possible level of
professionalism, you will be able to make
some really big money.

11. Virtual events management

Virtual events are becoming more and
more popular. There are not yet many
companies that provide virtual event
management services. And the demand
for them is growing rapidly.
There are many reasons why people and
businesses would choose to have a
virtual event instead of an on-site one.
One of the most popular reasons is that
it is cheaper to have a virtual event than
an on-site one. Another reason could be
that you want the event to be accessible
for your participants no matter where
they live or what time zone they live in,
which can’t be done with an on-site
event.

12. Vending machines business

This is one of the most profitable and
forward-looking New York City business
ideas. Such a business has great
potential, is highly scalable and is still
relatively underdeveloped in New York.
Such machines can offer hot food like
soups, pizza, panini or even ice cream)
also healthy and organic food vending
machines can be very profitable
business. If such a business seems
interesting to you, be sure to read this

13. Organic beauty products

In recent years, more and more
consumers in the US have been paying
more attention to the quality of
products and how they affect their
health and the planet. For this reason,
organic beauty products such as organic
facial oils, organic body scrubs, organic
tanning lotions, organic body wash,
organic soap and organic make up
products are increasingly in demand. It’s
a niche business that is still relatively
young and has very high potential for
growth in the US.

14. Pet food delivery services

Pet food subscription, animal food
catering, and organic pet food are new
businesses gaining popularity in the
USA. It’s a convenience for owners who
thus don’t have to spend time buying
food for their pets.

15. Virtual reality therapy

Virtual reality technology is being used
in various industries, including
healthcare for therapy and treatment
purposes. VR therapy allows for
example for exposure therapy to mimic
any triggers, stressors that the patient
has. In this way, the patient can gradually
become accustomed to the stressors.
Therapy using VR can also promote
relaxation, strengthen the patient’s
resilience, and teach the patient new
positive responses and behaviors. These
are just a few examples of how therapy
with VR technology can work. There are
many more possibilities, and demand for
them is sure to grow.

16. Local grocery delivery services in

your community
Many large stores offer product delivery
and there is nothing special about it
anymore. However, most small local
stores still do not offer such services, so
this is a great niche for a profitable
business. All you need to do is organize a
good network of professional and
trustworthy shopping couriers and you
can start such a business.

···

17. Farm-to-table meal delivery

The idea of farm to table food and meals
has become increasingly popular in
recent months. The idea is to eat locally
grown and produced foods made in the
US (preferably made near New York
City). By choosing such products,
consumers are supporting local brands,
as well as getting fresher, less chemical-
laden food (which doesn’t have to be as
preserved as, say, the same food
produced in Asia or South America). A
major advantage of farm to table food is
also its climate friendliness. Such food
does not have to be transported as far
thanks to which less fuel is used.

18. Urban farming consulting,

accessories sale & related services
Urban farming is a new business niche
gaining a lot of popularity. However,
urban farmers need to acquire
knowledge, buy necessary accessories
(such as lamps, racks, irrigation systems
or pots for urban farming), and some of
them probably also need some services
and consulting. This is a very forward-
looking niche full of many opportunities.
Another example of a business in this
niche could be a store selling products,
accessories and seeds for urban farmers.

19. Drone surveying

Surveying with a drone is a new and very
promising business that is already in
high demand. Drone surveys are very
useful in land surveys, 3D mapping,
photogrammetry, and topographic
surveying. Such drones equipped with
the right sensors are also finding
applications in many new fields.
Companies offering such drone
surveying services can certainly count
on many customers today and in the
future.

20. Drone videography & photography

services
A business that is in growing demand in
New York City and across the US is
professional drone photography and
videography. Such footage is especially
needed by business owners, advertising
producers and has applications in many
other fields. Examples of services that
such a business can offer are luxury real
estate photography & videos, event &
festivals photo and film making or
construction drone film making.

21. One niche oriented co-working

space rental
Coworking space rental is another
interesting business idea for New York
City. Many companies, freelancers and
entrepreneurs, as well as artists and
scientists need such spaces to maximize
their potential. A good way to strike out
with such business is to offer coworking
space for specific sectors of business, art
or science. Many people prefer to work
among people in similar fields, so they
can exchange valuable information and
learn from each other.

22. Robots store

Robots are still in the early stages of
development, but more and more of
them are in demand. A great business
idea for New York City could be a
specialized store that sells robots, or
some specific species of robots. Already
very popular are cleaning robots, robots
for children, articulated robots. Also
very interesting types of robots are
cobots, which are robots created to
function alongside or directly with
