    A plan for what kind of business?
  • Posted by saul.dobney on 12/4/2013 at 7:19 AM Accepted
    Storytelling. Theatre. Music. Massage. Personal trainer. Walking tour guide. Author. Priest - basically any service that does not require the use of resources.

    If it does require resources, it'll need to be of vegetable origin (trees, raffia that kind of thing) - and made without any machines or at least ones that are hand driven. You could also consider gardening and making compost ... albeit without chemical additives!

    Bear in mind when we had a carpentry business in the UK, I reckoned our best carpenters would be around 60% efficient without their machines. That is to say, the machines didn't add as much as the skill of the carpenter. With only hand tools they wouldn't make a living in modern Europe, but if it came to the push, they could still do their job.

    Actually I am looking for sustainability development oriented business plan. So please suggest me which one is the most acceptable business plan in sustainability development. It should be able to get more popular than the other plan at the same time it should be profitable business also.

    Which one from what choice? Get more popular than WHAT other plan? It seems to me that there's a basic lack of clarity here on the niche you will serve. To create any kind of plan it's necessary to know what marketplace the plan will be applied to.

    There are many businesses which are sustainable. They can also be profitable, but much of that depends on factors (some of which you can control, others you can't). It sounds like you are looking for a business that you can use for a project, and you want something sustainable, but we need a bit more info before we can suggest possible business for you. What sort of things interest you (might as well go for something you like), where do you want the business located (tells us what the resources and customer base could be like), how large a business (in the real world, there would be limitations, such as start up capital), etc.

    I am looking for an idea that should be sustainable. It can be converting sea water into normal water, or converting waste water into usable water, or waste management, or to control bangalore pollution, or bio fertiliser manufacturing etc......... capital can be around 1cr own investment and rest through bank loan.

    Junk collection and recycling. You need one truck. A yard. A collection of skips. Hire out the skips to builders/demolition firms. They fill the skips with heavy rubbish. Collect the skips via the lorries and separate the waste streams. Sell the materials for recycling. It's low tech and easy to write a business plan for.

    To attract a bank loan you'll need a lot more than a rough idea of a rough idea.
