Realistically, it's pretty unlikely. The costs to start a business are rarely zero. There might be cases where the business is a service and you start by doing it without a business license or anything until you have the money to do it officially, but it's rare to have a service business with no skills.

    I know a few people who make a pretty good living who started off with next to nothing and grew.

    One of my friends has a business that for like $500 he goes to a house and spends the whole day just cleaning the out side of the house, front and back. He started with a second hand ladder, marketplace pressure washer and his Toyota Corolla. These days he works 6 days a week and is turning down work regularly.

    It absolutely can be done, but the hustle is real.
