JAKARTA – Apparently there are many benefits to be had if we have a garage at home. According to its function, of course, as a place to store cars and motorcycles so that it is safe and protected from weather exposure. Other than that? It turns out that garage can also be used as a storage warehouse, workshop, so that you can make money too!

But the lack of land area and buildings is often an obstacle for many homeowners to build a garage in their yard. As a result, a carport that is closed with a canopy is a widely chosen alternative.

But whatever the garage model, it never hurts if you optimize the benefits that can be obtained from a garage. Have an idea developing a business? No need to rush, just start from your home garage!

And as a guide, consider some prospective business tips that can be started from the following garage.

1. Make Business Space

Starting from the tradition of the United States who like to sell used goods in the garage, you can do the same thing. Take advantage of the garage as an ideal place of business because of its location which is right in front of the house.

• Arrange neatly. To open a grocery store, laundry business, or just a snack booth, your garage must still be tidied up and cleaned to be comfortable when visited by potential buyers. Store everything that makes the garage messy in a cupboard or shelf. Then repaint the walls so they look clean and neat.
• Paste the price tag. So that the buying and selling process runs faster and easier, don’t forget to put a price tag on each item sold. Thus prospective buyers can also immediately choose and take directly without asking first.
• Flexible design, To make it easier for you to close your stall and park the vehicle in the garage, create a flexible stall rack or display design to be folded or pressed against the wall.

2. Renting out space

Dense areas in the city center make many people need an empty area to store their belongings. And if your house is located in the city center, then you can rent out a garage as a storage place for objects such as sports equipment, furniture, automotive parts, maybe even motor day care.

This business may still be rarely found, but you can try to advertise free space in your home for rent through media or social forums. Determine the rates you want according to the dimensions of the goods.

3. Creating a Studio / Workshop

Ever heard of the 8wood clothing trading site pioneered by celebrity Alice Norin? It turned out that the start-up business started from the garage room. By making the garage a product photo studio as well as a warehouse for storing goods, Alice can save a lot of capital at the beginning of starting a business.

You can also cheat on similar things by making the garage as a free place to grow your business. One of them as a photo studio or workshop or clothing convection workshop. Choose the business you want to pursue and learn how to start from the beginning.

4. Animal Care Services

If you are an animal lover, there’s no harm in making this hobby a business opportunity. Take advantage of the empty space in the garage as a day care center. Prepare several cages that are arranged comfortably and toiletries to care for animals to stay clean and healthy. But make sure your garage is sterile and not full of goods.
