While it may seem impossible, the pandemic has opened up the doors for new business opportunities.

5 Business Ideas to Launch during a Pandemic

Remote work and social distancing have forced traditional in-person businesses to get creative with solutions to stay viable and meet the consumer’s new and evolving needs.

There indeed are several niche markets and missing spaces in the digital marketplace that entrepreneurs can fill. 

In this article, we’ll take you through 5 pandemic-friendly business ideas that’ll inspire you.

5 Pandemic-Friendly Business Ideas

1. Delivery and Errand Services

The delivery service business witnessed a high boom during the pandemic. And it’s evident that people will get used to such convenience even post-pandemic. 

These services usually cover pharmaceutical goods, groceries, and meals, but there is a market to deliver miscellaneous commodities.

Research what mainstream services are not providing, and you could launch your own independent delivery service.

2. Fitness and Wellness Programs

Offline health centers and gyms have been one of the businesses impacted by the pandemic. However, with people staying indoors, virtual workout classes have been a blessing in disguise for the industry.

As a result of many hours indoors, people are turning more to digital workout programs to maintain their exercise routines. If you’ve got passion or experience in physical education, nutrition, or wellness in general, you could transform your skills into virtual classes or blogs.

3. Digital Marketing Agency

More people are spending time online, and businesses are eager to boost their online presents. This combination promises great opportunities for digital marketing agencies.

This could be an excellent idea for those with a background in marketing, SEO, social media, content writing, and more! This could especially benefit small businesses to survive.

4. Accounting Services

During the pandemic, many businesses and individuals have gone through financial hardships. Help them untapped resources in tight budgets while retaining as much staff as possible.

If you are certified, providing financial and account services can be a booming business opportunity. 

Combine your knowledge with good people skills to make a difference in the lives of those struggling to re-think their financial situation.

5. Cleaning Services

Without a doubt, cleaning services have been in very high demand, and it is only expected to grow considerably. Public-facing businesses, including restaurants, office buildings, and medical facilities, require cleaning services to keep germs at bay and protect their employees.

And as companies and schools begin to open up, the demand for cleaning services and products isn’t going to slow down. It is turning out to be one of the most profitable business ideas in the pandemic.

You Could Also Start an Engineering Firm

This next example is an extraordinary one.

As mentioned, the pandemic brought cleanliness to the forefront of everyone’s mind.

And as more is being learned about COVID-19, businesses are pivoting to new technological innovations to make spaces safer.

Wolven Industries is one of them.

Founded in 2018 by Mike Norton, Wolven Industries’ mission is to develop technology to repair, protect, and prepare families against modern-day threats. The company was originally planning to develop technology for military and private military contractors through custom contracts.

However, in response to the COVID-19 crisis, they pivoted their technological direction to develop a handheld LED-based electronic device for disinfection using UV-C technology.

And what makes them truly amazing is that they’re fully remote and work from home!

“Literally, just Google an online science community you can join or walk into a local college.

Go to the science department. Find someone you could be cool with, and ask them to join your crew.

It’s that easy,” Mike Norton said on his public Facebook page while explaining to his followers how he built his engineering firm during the pandemic.

With vaccines being rolled out, the end of the pandemic seems insight. However, UV-C disinfection is here to stay. Here’s why:

-As long as your light source emits the right wavelength for the right duration of time, UV-C deactivates 99,99% of all harmful microorganisms.

Unlike chlorine that needs a minimum of 30 minutes to work, UV light works immediately.

-Unlike chemical disinfectants, UV-C light does not use heat or chemical additives during the cleaning process. It doesn’t release hazardous chemicals, making it an environmentally friendly option.

Having said that, UV disinfection devices must be handled carefully as UV-C rays can put you at risk for skin cancer and cataract.

-Wolven’s UV handheld cleanser requires no maintenance. Depending on the usage, you’ll only need to change the bulb once every 5-10 years.

Unlike the life-risking and low-quality UV-C devices in the market, the team of engineers and physicians at Wolven Industries is designing one that’s efficient, safe, and easy to use.

They’re using the highest quality UV-C LEDs, integrating distance and motion sensors to ensure safety, offering free UV protective goggles, and a specially shaped reflective sheet that focuses 90% of the emitted UV light on the target surface, increasing the intensity of the radiation.

Overcoming Challenges Posed by Pandemic

Building a business during a pandemic isn’t easy. Along with opportunities came delays, funding, and distance issues.

Nonetheless, if you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything.

And that was the attitude that Mike represented.

Having lived a life of struggle, Mike developed a resilient attitude to be 100% self-sufficient and self-funded.

He built a remote team, raised initial funds of 200,000 from his marketing firm, and taught himself both mechanical and electrical engineering – all of which gave him the freedom to begin the rapid prototype of any new technological products from his house!

Conclusion

The hard work of Wolven Industries’ team is paying off, and Mike’s dream is now slowly turning into reality. Wolven Industries is at the final product development and testing stages and will be ready to take pre-orders soon.
