\"Small<\/a><\/p>\n

Privately traded companies which are growing strongly, or hot new start-ups which have just come on the scene, all have enormous room for expansion. So investors with a high appetite for risk should capitalise on that potential to target above average returns \u2013 there\u2019s no point ignoring a whole swathe of businesses just because they\u2019re below a certain size.<\/p>\n

Still, the small business landscape is wide and varied, and before you begin investing you\u2019ll need knowledge of the specific industries worth examining. Here\u2019s four of the most attractive areas which stand out to us for small business investment.<\/p>\n

Invest in Healthy, Local Food<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Restaurants and cafes lend themselves well to small business investment<\/a>. People are becoming more health conscious and are keener to eat healthy, organic or gluten-free food. A small restaurant which sources its ingredients locally can capitalise on that growing trend. Similarly, we\u2019ve developed more of a taste for the artisanal, unique and authentic, especially in our food, and a privately-owned restaurant could be much better placed to take advantage of that than a big, publicly-traded chain. A small bakery, a micro-brewery, or a popular local restaurant are all good options for making use of the trend for healthy food and drink which has an individual touch.<\/p>\n

Supplements and Personal Health Investments<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Just as there\u2019s growing demand for food that\u2019s good for us, the lifestyle and supplements sector is receiving a boost<\/a> from our increasingly health-conscious society. It\u2019s possible for small businesses to enter and disrupt this sector by developing a small initial range of products \u2013 as long as they have something genuinely original which solves a real problem, they can compete with larger companies in this field. Integumen<\/a>, for example, is offering an exciting new development in the human integumentary system for investment, which may provide real innovation in physical appearance, hygiene and general health. A small business can appear warmer and more honest than big companies \u2013 an important quality in an industry which blends medical technology with lifestyle and wellness programs.<\/p>\n

Investing in Tech Start-Ups<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Tech start-ups probably get the most media attention when it comes to small business investment. That shouldn\u2019t distract you from all the other ways to invest in smaller companies, but equally you\u2019d be foolish to ignore the potential that digital technology has to transform established industries.<\/p>\n

Real estate and letting agents, for example, are a prime area for online growth, and there are a number of start-ups aiming to capitalise on that potential. Cyber security and personal finance management also deserve special attention. You only need to look at ShareOptic<\/a>, a cyber security business currently pitching on Crowd for Angels, or DiPocket<\/a>, a financial management app, to see some of the exciting opportunities in these areas. Tech start-ups have the potential for strong, fast growth<\/a>, with the chance of a public offering or other exit in a reasonably short time period, so it\u2019s worth investigating them to find a good investment opportunity.<\/p>\n

Accounting, Bookkeeping and Administration Investments<\/strong><\/h4>\n

They might not sound like the most exciting of investments, but accountancy, bookkeeping and administrative services are all among the most profitable small businesses<\/a> you\u2019ll find. That\u2019s because the initial start-up costs are low, and most expenditure goes into human capital. That leaves space for high profit margins. Legal services have similar levels of profitability. Since small firms in these areas are typically privately-owned, it can be hard to find investment opportunities here, so you should seize on any that you can find.<\/p>\n

Smaller companies have enormous potential for growth, making them excellent opportunities to find strong returns.
