There are many people out there such as students and expats who needs furniture but may not be looking to buy them but instead they are looking to rent. These means there are lots of opportunities out there.
Consider Evolving Vox. Set up by two students at Dartmouth College, their company rents out furniture to students, enabling them to go through college without having to make large purchases for their rooms. Student do not have to worry about hauling heavy furniture and appliances around. Everything is dropped off and picked up.
Evolving Vox offers everything from electrical goods, furniture, outdoor furniture covers, and etc. all at affordable prices. For students out there. Maybe this is a business you can get yourself into while getting yourself a degree.
