A startup is a company designed to scale. Generally through some leveraged mechanism e.g. software, network or marketplace where the economics work better at scale.

What you are describing (putting aside the issue of whether this is appealing) is a small business not a startup.

On the plus side of that equation it's relatively easy to start and inexpensive to try.
