Side Hustles You Can Start Under £100

Updated 13 June 2026 · Beginner guide · Side hustles

Low-cost side hustle ideas for people starting with a small budget.

Income is not guaranteed. Treat each idea as a small test, not a promise.

Why low-cost matters

Keeping costs low reduces pressure and lets you test demand before investing more money.

Ideas under £100

Local cleaning supplies, simple tutoring ads, Canva template design, digital guides, car boot reselling, pet sitting flyers, social media management and basic freelance writing can all start lean.

What to spend money on

Spend on a domain, basic hosting, simple design tools or small local marketing materials. Avoid expensive courses at the beginning.

Your first week plan

Pick one idea, create a one-page offer, publish it on your Facebook page and ask friends or local groups for feedback.
