Any Startup business ideas with a budget of $5,000?

[Topicie]

I'm seeking ideas on how to use a $5,000 budget for starting a small business, building it up to sell, and eventually using the proceeds to start another business, eventually leading to a food truck venture. I'm considering setting up a snack shack at a mall kiosk, but concerned about the profitability due to low traffic and slim margins. Another idea is to invest in gumball machines and place them in the mall, but this could take months to break even. Alternatively, I could purchase a laser printer and open an Etsy shop.

I recently completed my MBA and have been exploring various options. So, if someone asked you to start a business with $5,000, what would you do? Thank you for your guidance.
