There'll be a few plumbers on the board here having to mop tea off their computer screens...

You must have misinterpreted me. I meant that plumber was a skilled trade and that im looking for something that' is not.

I guess I did, sorry!

Your question is very broad. Perhaps you should state your existing skills, experience and general interests to narrow the field a little.

There are loads of business you can set up with little to no skills required but there will likely be a lot of competition since every man and his dog will want to be doing the same. Growing such businesses will require high levels of drive, talent and numeracy.
eg. domestic window cleaning, car washing, oven cleaning, selling items on internet auctions or other online channels, selling ice-cream, social media management....

If you understand trading, with a little training, you could be a ebay seller. I don't think that requires a skill but you need understand market search, pricing and supplier search. Just an idea..

Not much of a business idea, but you should weigh in your skills first and determine if any of them can be made money of.

You could first try to work it off with freelancer sites like Odesk and Fiverr. That's doing things within your skill level which will mostly be a breeze for you if your like that kind of setup.

Then again, you may try selling in Online Marketplaces. All you need is a brief understanding of the market, possible risks, products that you want to sell, and of course the source on where you will get stocks. Competition may be tough but it's a start for you to create your own business.
