According to law firms, there has been an increase in the number of patent applications, not only in the UK, but all over the world.

Below are five business ideas, which you can venture into the UK to make sizeable profits.

Become a funeral director

There has been sad news about the increasing of deaths all around the world on TV, radio and social media.
In many cases, due to the measurements taken to help against spreading the virus, people are not able or allowed to attend the funerals of their close ones nor family members. Therefore, perhaps especially in these times, it could be a rewarding and noble idea to become a funeral director and make sure that the departed and their loved ones receive the respect and farewells that they deserve.

Open a bridal shop

The year 2020 has seen many weddings become postponed or cancelled due to the government ban of gatherings of people. This could mean that, if the government ban gets revoked in 2021, there will be a lot of wedding celebrations to come, thus a huge opportunity for bridal shops to make good profits.

Start delivering essential services

At the beginning of the UK lockdown, there was suddenly a run for basic items such as soap, milk, flour, eggs etc. This resulted in households hoarding these items in their homes once they got a hold of it. However, a lot of people could not get their hands on these items, and soon both regular food shops and off licenses showed the items being out of stock. There is still a huge section of the population in the UK who prefers to get these items delivered to their homes, as they do not want to risk catching the virus by going out in crowded superstores.

Open a plant nursery

If gardening is something you have enjoyed during the lockdown, then maybe it is time to make this hobby of yours a profession and open a plant nursery. The UK’s love for plants, gardens and parks is no secret and as more people grow their knowledge of the benefits of eating locally produced and organic foods, you are sure to receive interest in your plant nursery.

Start a skip-hire

Covid-19 has got people to spend more of their time at home, not only due to the determined months of lockdowns UK has faced, but also due to the fear the virus has caused for leaving the house.  Cleaning, throwing away old items and sorting out their homes has been something that many people earlier had not much time nor interest to do.

All new interest for cleaning has resulted in a lot of waste being collected and where is all this rubbish going? Yes, you are right, in the skip hire.
