If you have dreamed of starting a small business, but are wary about making a 24/7/365 commitment to your venture, you do have other options. You can start a business on a part-time basis, for one. You can also start a business that only operates during part of the calendar year.

If you’re looking for a small business idea that doesn’t require a year-round commitment, consider these 15 seasonal business ideas.

1. Food Truck

In fair weather, a food truck is a great business to run. Visit business centers, public venues, and college campuses and offer a quick, convenient, and tasty meal to customers.

2. Outdoor Adventure Business

Summer is a great time to be in the outdoor adventure business. You can offer anything from guided hikes to white water rafting excursions and more.

3. Personal Trainer or Coach

From tennis coach to weight-loss personal trainer, motivate people to make fitness and nutrition a priority. When the weather turns cold, focus on marketing your business to the New Year’s resolution crowd.

4. Lawn Care

If you like to be in the sun, you could start a lawn care business offering mulching, mowing, and raking services from spring to fall. Take winters off, or switch to snow and ice removal in the off season.

5. Chimney Sweep

Homeowners with wood-burning fireplaces know it’s important to have their chimneys swept for safety.

Work through the fall and winter as a sweep and enjoy the downtime through spring and summer.
