Home handyman services.
Especially if your demographic is an older population.
If I was't running a decent business already, I'd really have to consider starting a home handyman service.
I think the growth opportunities and scalability are good, providing one can find trustworthy, honest employees.
If I were to develop this biz, to hire employees, I think I would be looking for older, semi-retired individuals that needed to supplement their income themselves, able to be on call, and had a few tools, and 'lifetime repair/handyman experience'.
I'd likely pay them mileage, plus an hourly wage and if they needed replacement items for the repair, I'd have a local big box store account set up to acquire the parts.
Using older people lessens the chance of them wanting to strike out on their own and develop something similar. They just want to supplement their income and don't really have the desire to 'have the headache' of running something.
I think this is easily a year 'round business and could be quite profitable if run correctly.
