Enough that it would be worthwhile?

Most is not all.

I know of many that would pay just for the small amount of help possible to get.
But is that enough to run a viable business? I'm not saying I know one way or the other but it's something you'd have to figure out beforehand.

I dont know your exact buisness model, so hard to tell you.

Their are many small business owners that dont know how to efficiently manage travel for their employees. They are just to busy.

That may be true but that doesn't mean they can afford to pay someone else to take care of it for them.

I have an idea and would love to hear what everyone thinks. A concierge mostly for small companies. I noticed a lot of business owners don’t have extra time to do small tasks such as booking tickets, buying employees birthday gifts etc. So I would be a concierge for them. Also can be personal for people wishing to use this service. What do you think?
I don't see this as being its own stand alone business, but could be a great service for an existing gift store.

An existing gift store can offer this service to bring in more business. Not so sure it can be adequate to be a business on its own. Also, a gift store profits on the item itself and has the selection of items already.

Most small businesses don't have a lot of extra cash for things like that either so you'd have to figure out how you'd price yourself to make it worth it for them to save the time while still being able to make it profitable for you.
you think a monthly subscription would make sense? How much do you think businesses would be willing to give pay?

I don't see small businesses paying more than it would cost to have a secretary take care of it.

Instead of people paying for long term parking at the airport, I'll rent out their cars for them to arriving passengers. Obviously not gonna work for many people but I think there's enough people who'd want this.
I'd need a few parking spaces to hold cars the are not being rented immediately.
I'm not who you think I am.

why not? A secretary can get bogged by many different tasks and besides she isn’t an expert in most. My idea is to provide full attention to these areas providing attention and expertise.
