17 Bizarrely Brilliant Businesses That Will Help You Fall in Love, Get Revenge and More In honor of National Small Business Week, check out this selection of strangely creative ventures that might just inspire you to start your own.

Entrepreneurs are visionaries and problem-solvers; they zero in on critical gaps and do whatever it takes to fill them. Most of us are familiar with industry giants who have made their mark on the world à la Steve Jobs' Apple and Elon Musk's Tesla, but the truth is that even the smallest fish in the proverbial pond has the power to change customers' lives for the better with a unique business idea.

For more than 50 years now, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has recognized the significant contributions of the nation's small business owners during the first week of May. Sometimes, those contributions might look a bit unusual — or even downright bizarre — but chances are, there's someone out there searching for even the strangest services or products.

If you think that someone might be you (or even if you don't), read on to discover some bizarrely brilliant businesses that might just hook you as their next customer — or inspire you to start a venture of your own.
