13. Catering

Catering is a HUGE business – and if you’re a dab hand in the kitchen, you could earn some serious money with a catering venture on the side.

You could offer a full line of meals or specialize in one thing – for example, there are lots of shops on Etsy that sell homemade gourmet cookies or you could even learn how to start a candy or chocolate making business. Essentially, there are an abundance of routes into the catering business without the need to open a restaurant.
