*Elderly relocation services : The aging American population means that business is booming for companies that cater to the elderly. One of the latest successful business models to emerge from the senior sector is elderly relocation, or services that help seniors transition out of their homes to new living arrangements.
*Academic enrichment businesses : Tutoring and academic enrichment is back in the spotlight as school services have been slashed to compensate for state budget woes. Focus on specific grades or subjects, and spread the word through teachers, parents, and other channels. You may also want to offer enrichment services for SAT prep.
*Environmental business consulting : The move toward greener business practices is still in full swing, but the down economy has made it more important than ever for green initiatives to make good financial sense. B2B companies that help businesses save both money and the environment have a rosy outlook for 2011 and for years to come.
*Gourmet food delivery : Americans of all ages find themselves working more and cooking less. But at the same time, they don't want to sacrifice the occasional gourmet dinner – and that makes startups that deliver gourmet-quality food a big hit. Street-side, gourmet food carts are also gaining market share in today's dining-on-the-go marketplace.
*Cupcakeries : The cupcake craze will continue unabated in 2011. Successful cupcakeries cater to restaurants, consumers, or both. The benefit of focusing on cupcakes is that they're cheap to produce and have extremely high profit margins compared to other food products.
