Hey Indie Hackers — Brad here.
Over the past few years building MicroBiz365, I’ve spoken with hundreds of early‑stage founders, side‑hustlers, and “I want to start something but don’t know what” people. The same pattern kept coming up:
Most people aren’t short on motivation — they’re short on ideas they can actually start.
So I built a free Business Idea Generator designed specifically for bootstrappers, not Silicon Valley fantasy startups.
The generator gives you:
Practical, low‑cost business ideas you can start this week
Ideas tailored to your constraints (budget, skills, time, online/offline preference)
Ideas that don’t require code, funding, or a team
Ideas with clear next steps, not vague “start an app” nonsense
It’s built for people who want to get to £1k/month → £5k/month → £10k/month with simple, executable businesses.
I run MicroBiz365, where I publish a new low‑cost business idea every day. After posting hundreds of ideas, I realised:
People don’t need more inspiration — they need direction.
Something that cuts through the noise and says:
“Here’s a business you can start today, with what you already have.”
So I turned that into a tool.
First‑time founders
Indie hackers looking for their next micro‑project
People who want a business but don’t know where to start
Makers who want a simple, profitable idea without burning months building the wrong thing
You can play with it here:
microbiz365.com/tools
(There’s also a free logo generator + name generator for anyone validating ideas.)
If you try it, I’d love to know:
Did it give you ideas you’d actually consider starting
What filters or categories you’d want added
Whether you’d use a version that generates full business plans
Happy to answer questions or share the tech stack if anyone’s curious.
