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.

Piala Presiden 2018 bisa dibilang turnamen yang menjadi ajang pembuktian bagi striker anyar Persija Jakarta, Marko Simic. Mantan bomber timnas Kroasia U-21 itu berhasil mencetak 11 gol, dan menasbihkan dirinya menjadi top skor Piala Presiden 2018.
Selain itu, Simic juga terpilih menjadi pemain terbaik pada turnamen tersebut. Hal itu tak lepas dari kontribusi besarnya dengan membawa Persija meraih gelar juara, dan di partai final pun ia mencetak dua gol ke gawang Bali United.
“Saya merasa sangat bangga bisa mendapatkan penghargaan itu, saya akan mempersembahkan ini untuk Persija, The Jakmania, dan keluarga saya,” kata Simic.
Meskipun baru pertama kali bermain di Indonesia, namun striker berusia 30 tahun itu mengaku siap jika diminta untuk menjadi warga negara Indonesia melalui proses naturalisasi.
“Jika nantinya PSSI meminta saya untuk bermain bersama timnas Indonesia, maka ini akan menjadi suatu kebanggan.
“Bermain untuk timnas merupakan suatu kebanggaan bagi semua pemain sepak bola. Oleh karena itu, jika memang Indonesia membutuhkan saya, saya selalu ada di sini,” lanjutnya.
Jika memang dinaturalisasi, maka proses itu akan membutuhkan waktu yang lama. Karena untuk dinaturalisasi minimal sudah tinggal di Indonesia selama 5 tahun secara berturut-turut.
