This is the list of the best small businesses opportunities for 2018, chosen from across a variety of industries.
Here are my picks for the best small business ideas based on current trends in business and demographics.
1. Virtual Reality
Virtual reality computing (VR) is a huge leap forward in immersing the user in a realistic sensory experience. Hardware and software vendors are working furiously to bring new VR products to the marketplace and the industry is growing at a parabolic rate - according to statista by 2020 the worldwide size of the VR market will be in excess of $40 billion.
The potential uses of virtual reality for business or pleasure are practically limitless, for example:
3D movies - watching a movie in 360 degree VR
Real estate marketing - imagine searching for a new home and being able to take an online VR walk through of an advertised house from the comfort of your desk chair
Gaming - VR is revolutionizing the gaming industry, with new VR titles being released on an almost weekly basis
2. Software Engineering and Development
Software engineers and developers create, test and maintain software on a variety of platforms, from mainframes to mobile devices. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the demand for software developers is expected to increase by 17 percent each year through 2023, and the median pay in 2014 was slightly over $100,000 per year.
The nature of the software development industry makes it ideal for contract employment. Many software engineers start out as salaried employees and eventually become self-employed contractors. Cloud computing and ease of remote access make software development an ideal home-based business.

Direktur Utama Pusat Pengelola Kompleks Gelora Bung Karno (PPKGBK), Winarto, menyebut pihaknya akan mulai melakukan perhitungan kerugian akibat kerusakan beberapa bagian di Stadion GBK usai laga final Piala Presiden 2018.
Kerusakan beberapa bagian di Stadion GBK tak terhindarkan usai laga final Piala Presiden 2018 yang mempertemukan Persija vs Bali United. Meski begitu, Winarto menyebut kerusakan GBK masih dalam tahap yang relatf kecil dan tidak terlalu parah.
“Inilah dimulainya tonggak industri olahraga. Semuanya bisa kita hitung dan kita perkirakan karena kita tidak boleh menyerah karena semua kerugian bisa dihitung,” ujar Winarto dalam jumpa pers di Stadion GBK, Sabtu (17/02/18) malam.
“Malam ini akan kita hitung kita berita acarakan besok (hari ini, Minggu 18 Februari 2018). Senin sudah bisa kita ketahui (jumlah kerugian),” tambahnya.

Perilaku tak terpuji Jakmania yang mendominasi penonton yang menyaksikan pertandingan Persija vs Bali United disebut-sebut menjadi penyebab utama kerusakan Stadion GBK. Namun hal tersebut tak sepenuhnya dibenarkan oleh Winarto yang justru menilai ada sedikit peningkatan kesadaran untuk memelihara GBK dari Jakmania.
“Jakmania menunjukkan kemajuan. Kerusakan ada tapi relatif kecil dan kita bias melihat. Alhamdulillah sampai bubar tidak ada kerusakan yang berarti tapi memang ada keterbatasan tempat duduk,” beber Winarto.

“Di luar sana tidak semua penggemar bisa beli tiket tapi mereka datang ke GBK untuk melihat langsung pertandingan, penyerahan hadiah. Kalah atau menang itu biasa dalam olahraga. Dalam sepakbola kita perlukan suporter dan kita bisa memperkirakan (kerugiannya)," tutup Winarto.
Sebelumnya, Panitia Piala Presiden melalui Ketua Steering Committe (SC), Maruarar Sirait, mengaku akan bertanggung jawab dan mengganti kerusakan yang dialami Stadion GBK.
"Kami dari SC bertanggung jawab. Nanti tinggal didata mana saja yang rusak, kami akan menyelesaikannya. Berapapun nilainya kami ganti," ucap pria yang kerap disapa Ara tersebut.
