Flexible work opportunities via self employment that doesn't require investment/overheads?

Options
Hi
My ltd company is no longer viable as it is in events, I don't expect the business to come back on until next year. Even later if there is a recession.
I am currently in receipt of furlough pay as I was smart enough to pay myself more than what I was advised by tax avoiders, so that has resulted in a livable furlough amount - which is about to come to an end in the next few months.

In the meantime I need to earn some extra money as I am investing in all revenue back into an affiliate marketing business. Since all the money earnt will be used to start the other self employed business I will need to be paid via self employed method so there is no income tax or loss of benefits.

I am looking at gig economy type jobs, delivery, site labour work etc. I don't want to pay money for tools, van hire etc. Because it's short term, what options can someone recommend?

I wanted to do amazon flex but they're not taking on drivers in my area.
Hermes do have similar programmes, (deliver with your car, 65p a day top up insurance) but people online claim they end up making far below minimum wage. Plus some of their packages tend to be massive so I don't know how many packages I can deliver in my hatchback car.
