The range of Online Small Business Opportunities presented to us in our Third Age is simply astonishing. Who would have thought when we were growing up that it would one day be possible to operate virtually any business you care to name, virtually!

Success stories abound. From the lady who had difficulty finding attractive underwear to fit her ample frame and so established her own website selling underwear for larger customers to the man who simply wanted to make it easier for his wife to keep in contact with her old friends and purely as an exercise set up what was to become Friends Reunited. The point is, when it comes to small business and the internet, the world is literally your oyster.

You just have to be a little creative, to think out of the box as the saying goes today. Is there for example something you’ve been doing all your working life from which you could develop a spin off? Do you have a hobby or particular interest that you could develop into a small online business?

Whether you are looking to establish a full or part-time small online business or simply wishing to supplement your existing income, we hope something here will give you inspiration.
