Perhaps look into a franchise. Failing (sic) that, work out what you want to sell, how you want to sell it and draw up a business plan with cost and income projections for the first year. Then take that to a bank manager and see if they would, in pronciple, lend you the money. If they wont, then your plan sucks. If they will, you may be on to a winner, and you know how much capital you need.
