A great market for people looking to start businesses is to cater to the special needs community. If you google “special needs” you will see there are all sorts of products, items for caring, devices to help to different types of blood testing, analysis, you name it, there is something out there for it.
That tells me that there is a large market for products for people with special needs or their caregivers. A great example is a portable pulley that can carry a person from a bed, to a table or chair, and then lift that person to into a tub or shower. As caregivers get older, they may not have the upper body strength to lift their charges – or themselves for that matter. Anything that can make caregivers lives easier and is relatively inexpensive can be a gold mine.
Please post your questions, comments, or any nifty devices for lifting people around below.
