Even if a corporation can be established with a capital of 1 yen, it must be registered as a corporation, and costs between 200,000 and 300,000 yen. Therefore, it is a good idea to start with a sole proprietor.
The Japan Finance Corporation may provide unsecured loans, such as the “Newly Established Financing System”, but it is a bit disadvantageous if it does not have its own funds, and repayment is also necessary, so sales and profits are quite certain. If you don't have a promising business, you may want to be a little jealous.
Contract work: I think it is one way to do contract work as a sole proprietor. A form of work close to the dispatch of a single parent will surely lead to sales. Whether it will be a stable business depends on the client.
Side job: If you have a main job, income, and are not troubled with your life, you may want to start a job as a side job. It's like advertising on a free website of your contracted provider, responding to a customer request, providing some service, and getting paid. However, if there are in-house regulations such as prohibition of side work in the main business, be careful not to violate the rules.
Let me introduce one method of “market research” that can be done quickly, without spending money, even at the individual level.

Collection of negative reviews
That is to collect online reviews. If you find products that your rivals sell on Amazon or Rakuten, and if you find popular items that sell well, try counting the negative reviews of “One Star”.
For example, for an electric toothbrush, "the brush is hard and the rotation is too intense", and for sports shoes, "I felt it was cheap at a glance because the adhesive protruded from the boundary of the soles." The customer's real intention is written here.
Avoiding product development failures
Negative reviews will show the customer's real intentions. So, not only can you avoid mistakes in product development, you may find new needs.

- What do customers feel frustrated?
- What is the cause of failure in function and price?
- Is there a new usage that the manufacturer did not expect?
- What is "Do not do" in the shipping method and packing?
- What kind of aftercare are you looking for?
How to find out if a review is reliable
Note: Online reviews may contain fake reviews. Recently, instead of creating private community groups on SNS and offering money and product samples, some merchants are collecting five-star fake reviews.
