Being talented with numbers can really pay off if you\u2019re looking to start a profitable business.<\/p>\n

Accounting and tax services takes the top spot on the list of the most profitable type of small business with a generous 18.4 percent net profit margin<\/a>\u00a0followed by real-estate services (15.2 percent), law firms (14.5 percent) and doctor\u2019s offices (13 percent) reports Sageworks, a financial data service that analyzed the net profit margin of more than 16,000 small businesses (that earned less than $10 million) between September 2014 and\u00a0August 2015.<\/p>\n

(The average net profit across all industries for this report’s time period was 7.2 percent.)<\/p>\n

What makes these industries profitable? For one, they\u2019re driven by human capital.<\/p>\n

\u201cService industries,\u201d says Sageworks analyst Jenna Weaver, \u201care very common to find on the most profitable small-business list. This is generally due to lower overhead and startup costs. A lot of these industries you can start from your house.\u201d<\/p>\n

While profit isn\u2019t the only matter\u00a0for an\u00a0entrepreneur to consider — other factors to consider are whether the business matches his or her skills, what sort of licensing or training is required and how the business would fare during a recession — it\u2019s an important\u00a0place to start.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the list of the 15 most profitable types of small businesses and their net profit margins.<\/p>\n

1. Accounting, Tax Preparation, Bookkeeping and Payroll Services: 18.4%<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe accounting industry is consistently a top performer on our list,\u201d says Sageworks\u2019 Weaver.<\/div>\n

No matter how the economy is doing, everyone needs accountants. Also, this industry tends to have low overhead and repeat clients.<\/p>\n

2. Management of Companies and Enterprises: 15.5%<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
This industry is made up of small, privately-owned offices of bank holding companies and other types of holding companies.<\/div>\n

Some well-known examples of holding companies (that do not fall into the small-business category) are Warren Buffett\u2019s Berkshire Hathaway<\/a> and Carl Icahn\u2019s ICahn Enterprises<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. Offices of Real Estate Agents and Brokers: 15.19%<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
While the real-estate market is largely dependent on the health of the economy, real-estate brokers and agents have low operating costs and all you need to get started is an agent or brokerage license.<\/div>\n

4. Automotive Equipment Rental and Leasing: 14.55%<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
With the on-demand economy on the rise, Sageworks analyst Libby Bierman says that people may be leasing and renting more cars using on-demand services such as Zipcar<\/a> — along with more traditional rental services such as Hertz<\/a>.<\/div>\n

5. Legal Services: 14.48%<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
Anyone who has ever hired a lawyer knows it\u2019s not cheap. Law, like accounting, generally has low operating costs as well as repeat clients. However, this business category includes not only lawyers, but notaries, settlement officers (who deal in the transaction of securities) and title search agents in real estate.<\/div>\n

6. Offices of Dentists: 14.41%<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
Dentists, like physicians, benefit from recurring patients, and while startup costs can be expensive — dental equipment is quite costly — the profession has the advantage of handling several patients at a time, plus many pay out of pocket.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

7. Electric Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution: 14.02%<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
This category of small, privately-held electric power companies includes not just your traditional, fossil fuel electric powers but also hydroelectric, nuclear, solar, wind, geothermal and more.<\/div>\n

8. Leasors of Real Estate: 14.01%<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
Lessors, also known as landlords, show that renting both residential and nonresidential properties is a profitable gig once you recover the initial costs of purchase.<\/div>\n

9. Offices of Other Health Practitioners: 13.30%<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
How is this category different from physicians? It\u2019s not, really. There is a census delineation between chiropractors, optometrists, mental-health practitioners and podiatrists — who fall under this category of \u201cother health practitioners\u201d — and all other types of physicians.<\/div>\n

10. Offices of Physicians: 13.01%<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

12. Religious Organizations: 12.41%<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
Religious organizations are having a profitable year. Really. Remember, being not-for-profit doesn’t mean your goal shouldn’t be to make a profit. It’s just how you distribute those gains. Instead of giving profits to shareholders, all of yours go to your organization’s mission, which is the furthering of your church’s aims. It has been a good year not only for churches, synagogues, monasteries, mosques and temples, but also for schools, colleges and universities that are operated by religious organizations.<\/div>\n
