Lawnmowers in the suburbs. You will have to sink a lot into advertising. But if you have to hire 10 staff you can get them dropping flyers right away.

Getting geographically close customers is key to making it viable.

You don't need to pay high wages, the training is minimal , and managing it is straight forward.

It's not going to make loads of money but you should be able to get profitable quickly.

What ever you do 500k for 10 staff is scary.

Yeah 500k basically pays wages for a year to 10staff and leaves Maybe 100k leftover at best. It will be a full time job managing and organizing the workers for minimal profit. You also won’t get good workers unless you recruit from your church or something. I’m not sure how you run the business and do your day job on the side. You basically have to have your spouse run it and even then idk how you both stay sane.
