With the ‘Make in India’ and ‘Atmanirbhar’ push by the government, many institutions now offer a business loan to make your entrepreneurial dream a reality.

So, what are business loans used for? You can leverage them to buy raw materials, machinery, spend on marketing, branding, and meet several other needs of your business.

And now with the lives demanding a reshuffle, there will be many of you looking for an alternate source of income. Here are 15 most successful small business ideas you can consider that can be started with low investment but seem promising with high profit margins.
