Well, if I answer this question like any internet posts which talk like "the most home-based business for" I would just make a list of home-based work and that's all. But I would try to give up a value to this answer although it would be not simple and furthermore because the question still put some limits: no digital and low-budget.

First off all business should be profitable (this is not obvious ! unfortunately more people start to do without knowing where they are going ). To know if a business could be profitable come out from an analysis of the market. So also in this case I suggest to make it. Take care, I'm not saying to find out an awesome consultant in marketing or read a lot of business case or market reports, no, in this simple case  just look out of your door. Looking out of your door,  you could feel what are products or services that people need but that particularly lacks in your area -that mean good probability of success without such expensive business analysis/market analysis-.  Then, try to compare some of those probable profitable product & services with your own competency and resource -that mean that you can afford at low-cost- .So, hope you understand why I WONT generalize and saying a list of.Here you are some sample:

- have ability to sewing clothes and in your area you have noted good request and lack of services.. then what are waiting for :-) - have you the passion for cake, well, make some special one and sell them to your friend's happy days.

.... 

 

Well, finally remember to : Observe what they (customer) need, Compare with your ability, Look Over the only things you can touch (important if you would like to do new things )  

 

Hope can help.Raf

Main concept revolves around what the market lacks from clients' needs. Not living but visiting Jordan, I believe the entertainment industry can be improved by targeting tour operators to bring world celebrity on JV basis, to promote the city tourism and attract new footfall to visit and stay in the city. This must be backed up by government support as the benefits on economy sectors will involve hotels, restaurants, transportation and internal tourism activation.

Home business are that provided  an additional revenue for the family and can be extended to a full scale business in long term. This can  be decided based on the  lack of available of resources or facility  in that particular location . While starting home based business these are some  factors to be considered like  availability of time , fund and resources and a backup plan in case of any risk.

 In this new age, being involved digitally is a major factor for any growing business wanting to expand its market share and achieve high profits. However, in some rural areas certain small sized establishments can achieve acceptable returns with respect to their consumer preferences. In Jordan, being able to sew clothes and especially the traditional "Abaya" is a good business since it still is the most widely used everyday dress, or cooking home made food everyday and sell it to the surrounding shop owners and businesses, growing vegetables if space is available, doing some artisan works.
