depends on which country are you from...Small manufacturing may be
labour intensive as in India etc and yet be competitive while in a
developed country labour costs may be prohibitive ans you might need a
technology based business..

When you plan a small business, there some points to be looked into:

1. The product should be best be a consumable (industrial preferably)
2. Should not be capital intensive
3. Should not be labour intensive 
4. Should have a market 
5. Should be able to compete and get into the market
6. Should be manageable without input of high technology
7. Availability of raw material ? pellets available abundantly 
8. Workmen ? tool & die makers available everywhere 
9. Should be profitable ? above all

Have said the above, and after some consideration, the product that
comes into my plan is

Tungsten Carbide dies and wearparts

It is a good product because majority of repetitive industrial
activities depends on tungsten carbide products.

One of the major industries that requires this is the welding
electrode manufaturers.  In the absence of these tools they would not
be able to take production.

A small scale operation could meet the need of  welding electrode
manufacturers.  Further, there are users of Tungsten Carbide items who
require high precision material and in high volume and price. Like
paint, chain, stamping industry. Etc.

Any day I would say it is ideal for a small operator.

The trick is to find orders ;)

If you could get sales in US/UK/Europe, there are nth companies in far
east and India where you could outsource :)
