"Solo business" – From a global trend to a survival choice.

In the US, statistics show that over 51 million people are running one-person businesses. In Vietnam, this number is also increasing rapidly, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. Many people are starting to realize that they can start a business without a team or large capital. Here are the reasons why this type of business is so popular:

• Take control of your time, work, and income.
• The ability to control all business operations.
• Freedom to choose a job that aligns with personal values.
• You can start right away with just one clear skill.

The solo business model is no longer an experimental trend, but has become a survival solution for many people in a volatile economic environment. Constantly changing technology and the increasing need for independence are the main reasons for this shift.

Occupations suitable for the "one-person operation" model

The good news is you don't need to be exceptionally brilliant or be able to do everything. As long as you have a clear area of expertise, you're qualified to get started. Below are some prominent areas where thousands of people are choosing to develop a one-person business model:
