A business giving people the chance to eat their dinner at a table suspended more than 100 feet in the air, a company selling “hot and trendy” mens makeup and a tipi bed and breakfast are among the entries featured on BusinessesForSale.com's 'unique businesses' section.
When pictures of besuited diners insouciantly quaffing champagne high above Brussells first appeared in May 2006, many people assumed they were a hoax. People have dined on tables hoisted high in the sky by cranes in more than 15 countries, including the US, Canada, Australia, South-Africa and Turkey.
The concept has been applied to other ordinarily ground-based activities such as music performances, work meetings and marriages.
The possibilities I suppose are endless. Table tennis in the sky anyone? Crazy golf in the sky? Marital bust-up in the sky?
For those of you without a head for heights but a thirst for the unusual then what about holiday accommodation in the form of Sioux North American Tipis? Based in Granada, in the Andalucia region of Spain this venture is ideal for the sociable entrepreneur who'd like to decamp to warmer climes.
Other interesting opportunities include a taxidermist in Florida, a cheerling and tumbling school in Texas, a condom retail website set up in Dublin a quiz writing business in Mansfield and a Crocodile Farm in Queensland, Australia.
