Hi, I'm Rebecca Burn-Callander. I'm the Enterprise Editor at the Daily Telegraph.
And I'm here to share with you a series of videos
on how to create a brand new start-up but on a shoestring.
When it comes to starting your own business, you have two options.
Do what you already know but do it better than the competition.
Or find a gap in the market and build a product or service around it.
To help save you time and money, we've worked out where those gaps lie.
Here are the hottest start-up sectors for 2016.
Richard Branson has said that healthy food products,
which cut out sugar, preservatives, or other nasties,
will be the hottest start-up sector this year.
Last year we saw the meteoric rise of low-calorie foods,
such as a rice alternative made from cauliflower,
superfood ice cream. The food doesn't even have to be for human consumption.
Luxury, natural, healthy pet foods—they're also in high demand.
The 3D printing industry is set to be worth more than $15 billion by 2020.
And there are loads of ways that budding entrepreneurs can get involved.
If you're technically skilled, there are marketplaces where you can sell your designs
from 3D printed products. Or if you have a printer,
become your own one-stop shop for parts or niche items.
The old saying goes that where there's muck, there's brass.
And UK consumers are more aware of the need to recycle
and protect the planet than ever before.
So services that help them do that easily will flourish in 2016.
Work out ways that you can help eliminate wastes from household or businesses.
Create a pickup service that removes batteries or electronics
and you could be onto a winner.
And just remember when you're choosing a start-up business
to focus on the areas where you have an interest or a skill,
because if you're doing something every day
you want to enjoy it. And good luck.
