Hi! I'm Dane Carlson, and welcome to the Business Opportunities Weblog. I've been publishing this website, by myself, and sometimes with the help of others for over twelve years now. You'll notice two things about this site right away:
- We have tons of content. In fact, since November 2011, I've published more than 26,000 posts on thousands of different business ideas and opportunities.
- We don't sell much advertising. In late 2013, I realized that by selling advertising, what I was really selling was my readers. In 2014, I've already radically cut down on the number of ads and will hopefully keep cutting.

Invention: A Trailer To Transport Mini-Diggers More Safely
The boss of a plant hire firm has invented a new kind of trailer to transport mini-diggers more safely.
Scotts Plant Hire owner Martin Smithson was inspired to design the DigaDoc by a number of accidents in which mini-diggers have fallen from trailers while being moved, causing serious injuries and even fatalities.
Scotts has a fleet of small excavators, which it supplies to customers across the north west and west Midlands.
Mr Smithson’s patented system for the DigaDoc trailer secures a digger’s tracks under two cowlings, locking them in place. A connector on the end of the digger’s arm – normally used to attach the arm to the digging bucket – locks the digger to the trailer.
If the digger is not parked in the right place on the DigaDoc trailer, then the ramp at the rear cannot be raised and the trailer cannot be moved.
