Retail

During the Covid Crisis, a lot of businesses went under. In fairness, a lot of the big businesses that folded were on their last legs anyway and the pandemic was the last straw. In their place, there was an influx of new businesses that have been growing throughout the crisis. Now, these businesses are coming out of lockdown and are needing staff or places to sell their items. If you have any experience in retail, you could have the perfect opportunity to grab a store and sell these up and coming brands to new people.

Virtual assistants

If everyone is working from home, there is a good chance that they are doing everything themselves. However, it isn’t possible to do everything and many people are searching for an assistant to help with the workload. The idea is simple, you work as their assistant and do all of the jobs that they can’t seem to get around to. This might include answering emails and scheduling appointments.

Real Estate

During the pandemic, many people found themselves spending more time at home and not liking what they have. Estate agents such as williampitt.com found themselves in high demand as people started to search for the perfect property. People are looking for homes that will allow them to grow their business and their family. This is also being fueled by the number of landlords who have decided to sell their properties.

Coding experts

What do you know about computers? If you know more than the average person and have the paperwork to prove it, there is an abundance of jobs waiting for you. Coding, programmers, and anyone who can handle the internet are in hot demand right now. Working from home has made a lot of people question their internet speeds and laptop requirements. And, seeing as everyone will want to work from home, there is a chance that remote IT support will continue to grow in the coming years.

Copywriter

Being a copywriter is not like Mad Men told us it would be. There is less glamour and more typing in PJ’s. But it is an in-demand service. Copywriting is growing as the internet is forever expanding and people need help to create content for their websites. Copywriters have never been busier and the workloads keep getting higher. If you can manage to string a few sentences together and have a degree in English, you might want to look into creating content for business websites.

Accountant

All of these new businesses have something in common, they all need accountants. There are plenty of apps and websites that can help business owners to manage their accounts but there is something reassuring about having a human eye double-check everything. Accountants are in high demand at the moment and show no sign of slowing down.
