Ordinary people partner with Amway and sell their products through network marketing. They earn a fixed percentage in commission for each product they sell. In fact, not just Amway there are dozens of such companies operating in India.
You can easily obtain the dealership for various beauty, health & wellness, and personal care products.
Furniture Dealership Business
A furniture dealership is a very lucrative business proposition because of its high-profit margins. This is because niches like furniture or interior decoration cater mainly to high-end customers.
You can choose a certain type of furniture item, customize its features according to the customer’s needs and sell it. Today there are a number of dealership options available to you.
You also have to choose the right location to establish your business. A location where there is a customer base and great demand for furniture that is lightweight, multifunctional, strong, and elegant.

Although the jewelry niche is very small the business can be very profitable if you manage to get even a few dedicated clients.
Jewelry business is a small-scale dealership that you can start from the comfort of your home. You can partner with one of the major jewelry brands in India and market their products.
However, before you start this business you must have some background in jewelry cutting and polishing.
Automobile Dealership Business
Perhaps I should have mentioned automobile dealerships earlier in this article because it is the most popular dealership business idea in India.

You can also start a service station where you service cars and motorbikes. There is no dearth of auto retailers in the country. You can partner with anyone and start your business.
Gas Agency Dealership
There are over 250 million households in India that already have LPG connections. However, there are still 100 million households that are without an LPG connection.
There is a huge demand for new LPG gas connections and refills in the country. Businessmen and entrepreneurs across the country can capitalize on this opportunity and start their own gas agency dealership business. How you can start Gas Agency Dealership in India? You have to apply for the dealership first and if you get nominated then you can start the business.
However, to start a gas agency dealership business you need to meet infrastructural requirements like storage area for cylinders and a showroom. You will also require an investment amount of Rs 700,000 to Rs 100,0000 to get started.
Bharat Petroleum (BPCL) Dealership
Have you ever thought of starting a petrol pump/gas station?
There can be no transportation without petrol and diesel. You might have seen cars and motorbikes lining up to fill their tanks in a petrol pump. You can just imagine how lucrative this business could be.
A growing number of vehicles has led to an increase in fuel demands which eventually requires more petrol pumps.
According to a rough estimate, every petrol pump in this country sells almost 500,000 liters of petrol and diesel every month.
If you own properties on highways or roads where traffic is very high, you are in a good position to enter into this business.
BPCL or Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited is a PSU owned by the Government of India that operates more than 14,000 Petrol pumps across India.
You can partner with BPCL and become a fuel station dealer by opening your own retail outlet. However, you will require a decent amount of money to get into this business.
