Hello dear readers! Today I want to talk about business with minimum investment or micro business. And also give some business ideas. Very often I am asked a question about how you can start a business with minimal investment (usually from zero to 50,000 rubles).

I’ll say right away that this is possible, but you need to find your own idea and try small. Today I will try to give an answer to this question, and I really hope that you will draw your own conclusions.

Microbusiness - what is it and why you need to start small

When you were born, you did not immediately say the first word, did not immediately take the first step, then why do you think that in business you should immediately open a bank, a car dealership or big supermarket? Perhaps you have a desire to do something big, but try to tune your brain to what is in this moment according to your strength and according to the strength of your wallet. And when the brain starts to work on goals closer to reality, then ideas will fall to you like a river.

After all, as a rule, they are all in front of the nose. And already when you started small and took on some very small business, then it can be expanded to medium and large scales.

And this very small business is micro business! You can be a micro business doing freelancing, making something at home, reselling some goods, providing services. You will be very small at first, but then time will pass and growth will accelerate.

Did you know that the world's most famous eatery "Subway" (Subvey), used to be just one small outlet, and now has tens of thousands of eateries around the world? And if the founders hadn't opened this one diner, if they hadn't started small, this multi-million dollar company wouldn't exist!

In general, in America, one in ten is engaged in microbusiness, produces something in a garage, sells something, etc., while in Russia this is just beginning to emerge. You have every chance!

Most of you want to do your own thing in order to get out of a job you hate, to start living a better life, to be more free, then to make a big business, and so on. So for these purposes, microbusiness is quite enough.

Many people are in business and earn just a little more than the average. wages, but they are happy that they are engaged in an interesting business and lead independent activity without depending on anyone.

Interest is important in microbusiness, and love is better! Because microbusiness is built on your passion for action. If you like your business, then you can do it even for small incomes. The most important thing for you now is to understand that you can start small and think about what interests you. And only then think about how you can get money out of your interest. You will say that I am pushing you with banality and you will be right, but if you learn this and you will succeed!

How to start a business with minimal investment

Now let's move on to the fact that you can open a business with minimal investment, and moreover, you need to! You don't need a lot of money to start a micro business. You only need 4 things to get started:

1. Think about what you like and what you could really do (make an approximate list right now, then add it);
2. Consider how you can capitalize on your interest. Just think about whether your business can be useful to someone.
3. See if you have enough money for it. If not enough, then return to point number 1 and go again.

And the fourth is the most difficult! And even if it doesn’t work out, you still did what you like, you didn’t lose anything. And if they invested money, then very little!

Important! You, when you want to eat and you have only 50 rubles in your pocket (I had this, I don’t know about you), you buy what you have enough money for and satisfy the body’s need for food. But, you must admit that if you had 1000 r, then you would buy something tastier. The same goes for starting your micro business. If you have little money, then try to extract the maximum profit from them. You must satisfy your need - start! If you manage to do something out of little money, then later you will move mountains out of big money. Burn out? Get great experience for little money!

Live examples of business with little investment

I'll start with myself, and then move on to cool comrades;)

• I opened my first site (blog site) with 1000 rubles in my pocket. Behind him immediately the second for 500 rubles. Total 1500 r. After 3 months, both sites in total began to bring in a month 3,000 rubles, then 5,000 rubles, then 10, and so on up to 15,000 rubles. After a year and a half, I sold one of them for a tidy sum, and the second remained with my partner.
• I opened a website development studio without investments at all. She also brought me a little 10,000-30,000 rubles a month. But this is because I had to pay designers and layout designers.

Well, everything about myself. What do you want? Thought I was in a million dollar business. No! I am a micro businessman! Assets, of course, are not worth a single million, but this is already a matter of time, experience, desire and interest! I am not boasting, and even more so there is nothing to brag about, I just want to show by my own example that you can start small!

Do you want to start your own business, but have no money or ideas? Well, today it's not a problem.

On the Internet, you will find many hundreds or even several thousand ideas for small businesses, and as for money, thanks to social networks and online advertising, it is possible to enter any market around the world in a couple of days, if you had a computer and basic skills to use it.

However, a list of business ideas, even with an approximate list of equipment and materials, is not really the answer to your question. Although here's to you. And still useful.

And in this article, let's figure out how you can open your own business with minimal investment and succeed. Like Andersen in The Snow Queen, I hope that at the end of this article you will know a little more than you knew or knew at the beginning.

And at the end of the article I will answer on how to start your own business.

Starting a small business with the question “Why do I need my own business?”

First, let's figure out why you need to open your own business.

If you want to start your own business, to earn a lot you are more likely to be disappointed or disappointed. Many studies prove that small business owners earn less than employees with similar qualifications.

Small business is a lot of risk, a lot of work, a lot of bad decisions and a few right decisions, a constant struggle to make ends meet, pay taxes, payroll (payroll taxes) and finally leave some money for the owner. There are a lot of businesses (the same advertised beauty salons or yoga studios) where the owners actually receive LESS than top employees (a good master or a yoga trainer popular in the city).

Do you want to start a small business not to work for uncle? No one to report to?

Again, not that. First, clients are much more demanding and capricious bosses than 99% of the bosses at work. Secondly, do not forget that there are also officials, various supervisors, tax authorities - with all of them, believe me, doing business is no easier than with management at work.

Want be free to manage your schedule?

Well, here I’ll just answer with a joke: “Tired of working 5 days a week? Open your business and work 7 days a week!”

If you are not ready or not ready for the fact that you will have to work more than in a hired job, and you will earn less, it is better not to open your own business. Better find yourself Good work, understand it, constantly improve yourself and systematically make a career. And if you live in a small town and you simply don’t have decent employers, move to a big one and make a career there.

Let's consider in which cases it is still worth opening your own small business or choosing self-employment, which is essentially the same thing (I will say right away, I omit the situation when you want to create new business, already having an existing one).

The first situation if you have a lot of money. Let's say you got a big inheritance, a couple of million dollars. It's somehow stupid to go to work with two lyamas even for 100 - 150 thousand rubles a month. Then yes, open your own small business, with small investments, so as not to take much risk in case of bankruptcy.

The second situation if you have absolutely no opportunity to work for hire. For example, you are caring for a sick relative, you can only work from home, and you have to work much less than a standard working day. Or you yourself / yourself are in the situation of a patient who needs to be looked after.

Finally, the third option. The most correct. When Do you think that your own business is yours?, this is your mission, your way to change the world for the better. You just can't imagine how you can waste your energy in other people's interests, to do something that you don't believe in. You don't even have to weigh anything, all these pros and cons. You don't care what the risks are. You are just one of those 2-3% of people who move our civilization forward (of course, not all of these people work in business).

Is it worth starting a business?

Watch the following video and think carefully.

So, if the third option is about you, then it is useless to dissuade you. Yes, and you don’t need it, you have everything to become not just one of the many small entrepreneurs who can hardly make ends meet, but to become a really successful and rich person (although there is still no guarantee, the only guarantee is you, how much once you're ready or ready to get up and start again when things go against you again).

And if the first or second option is about you? Well, then you still need to find the strength, energy and motivation to become the third option.

How can you open your business from scratch. Where to begin

There are two answers. One answer - you have to start with yourself as you might already guess.

You need to be ready or prepared physically and mentally for the challenges that you have to overcome in order to start your own business, reach self-sufficiency, get the first significant profit and build a truly successful profitable business.

The second answer is start with what you have.

You will never have the perfect situation to start your own business. Money will never be enough. Time will always be insufficient, you will be convinced of this very soon, since you can work on your own business at least 20 hours a day, because every minute of yours used properly is the result in your business. Knowledge will always be insufficient, everything you still do not know and cannot know. Moment? No one knows when a new crisis will begin, a new panic in the market, a new war with neighbors.

By the way, the best moment to start a business is in the past. You need to start a business, make a bunch of mistakes, start getting results, and then go back in time and repeat the whole process again, taking into account the experience gained. If such a gift is not inherited in your family, you do not have to choose.

So, if you have made up your mind or have made up your mind, just use Mark Twain's universal guide for beginners: "Get started."

How to start a small business? Start with yourself!

Before you start. Take care of your health

Health is now your asset, and not just something that can be okay or uncomfortable.

Read either Men's Health Russia or Woman's Health Russia.

There will be little time for sports (even if you decide to go into a business in the field of sports and fitness), and two hours a week to visit the fitness center may become a luxury.

But some you need to figure out a way to keep yourself in shape. If only because people think better when they are engaged in physical activity. There are a lot of studies that prove that pumping muscles, you also pump the brain (there are many factors here, starting from the fact that with each of your workouts, the capillary network grows simultaneously in both brains and muscles).

Besides, watch your diet. The resources of the Sect School will help you.

Start and succeed. Boost your personal effectiveness

Perhaps the two main tips in this article are meditation and morning pages (there are other similar practices - a personal diary, freewriting, evening pages). Yes, few take the time to meditate or keep a personal diary. But few show outstanding results.

Publication from InLove 4ever! Now in Spain (@zap4zap) Sep 23, 2017 at 8:14 am PDT

And for freewriting and morning pages, there is the bomb service Writelight.

There is a timer and a leading question to start the practice. You set a timer for 5 minutes (I bet you will eventually want to set yourself 10 or 15 minutes), you get one of hundreds of leading questions, then a quote that will help you structure your thoughts and understand if there is something useful in what you wrote or wrote. Very often, new business ideas and solutions to painful problems in work and life will come out of the morning pages.

Have you started your own business? Feed your motivation!

Look good trainings on Youtube, if possible, even go to some (if you live in a large city, from time to time free trainings).

On Youtube, at least follow Tony Robbins , Radislav Gandapas , Business Youth and guys from Business Relations.

Internal energy sources will die out if they are not developed.

So try to meditate today. Download Writelight today and try freewriting. And do not just try, but continue to do this every day for at least a month, there you will decide how to use these practices.

Let's say someone meditates once a day according to a schedule, someone - in moments of need. Someone like a bayonet writes three morning pages every day, someone uses several writing practices on a schedule or mood.

First business? Learn!

It is best to learn by doing, but without theoretical knowledge you will not go far either.

What should an aspiring entrepreneur learn? First of all, marketing. The MIF publishing house and everything that Igor Mann writes and says is a good start in this matter.

Secondly, everything related to the Internet and promotion on the Internet. Here you can start with the Yagla service blog.

The rest will tell you directly your work. Are you hiring people? Learn to manage them. Need to come up with a lot of ideas? Learn creative thinking. Do you have your own shop or cafe? Learn merchandising, retail management, follow food trends, etc.

Ideally, create your own business education program based on open sources and shuruy.

The main thing is that studying and watching motivational videos do not replace real work.

Of course, you need some period when you just need to “boil” in your ideas, in knowledge, in new information about the industry or about business in general (look at case studies, franchise descriptions, tips for aspiring entrepreneurs and various other materials). However, for many, this period drags on for years, if not for life. How to be here?

The ideal way out is to sign up for a hundred days with Armen Petrosyan. This is such a collective sprint, when a group of starters from various cities and countries simultaneously achieve their goals within a hundred days with the methodical help of an experienced mentor (however, there is only one mentor for all). Your goal will be to figure out what kind of business to do in a hundred days, sketch out a business plan, study the market and all that, in short, take the first steps towards your business.

How to start your business from scratch. Start with what is

A new entrepreneur has a lot of questions. What business to open? Take a loan or open on your own? original idea or a franchise? Quit your job, burn bridges, or start with a part-time job in the evenings and gradually increase your income? Which business idea to choose? Or maybe not one idea, but several at once? Do business with friends? Do business with relatives?

Cheat sheets with correct answers and finished algorithm you won't find it anywhere. Start, try, make decisions, make mistakes. You are bound to be wrong. You will definitely regret something. This is fine. Business is a lot of wrong decisions and a few right ones.

However, we will consider several misconceptions at once in order to sweep them away completely and irrevocably.

You can't start a business without money. A business can be opened even with the most minimal investment or no money at all. How to open your own business if there is no money? Through word of mouth marketing, guerrilla marketing and SMM (if you don’t know what it all means - you have the first topics in the personal business education program), you will be able to attract customers absolutely without any financial costs. The main thing is that you have something to offer them.

Do not do business with friends or relatives. Do business with whom you see fit. I know many examples of successful businesses run by best friends or close relatives (two sisters, father and son). There are no rules and nothing is predetermined.

You can not open a business while working somewhere. It is quite possible to open a business, while having a permanent job, I will say more - this is a great option. You have the opportunity to do something of your own, experiment, make mistakes, but at the same time your head does not hurt whether there will be money to buy something to eat.

You should not "burn bridges", quit your job and rush headlong into your business. Being left without a guaranteed source of income and betting everything on your business idea is also a great option. Motivation goes off scale, you can devote maximum time to your work. You know what it's like, money always comes to you when you need it most.

You can not take on several business ideas at the same time. As I said, there are no rules. It is quite possible to try yourself in two areas at the same time, and then see what goes better.

The right way to start a business. What to start with

Now let's look at what you need to have when starting your own business. Note that all these things can and will change as your business expands, but at the start they should still be there.

In addition, my list does not meet the MECE principle, but I did not set a clear structuring as my goal. I just listed all the important things to consider as an aspiring entrepreneur.

Business idea

How to choose the best business idea to start your business? For starters, you can look, in addition to our list of current ideas, we offer several links to high-quality sites with a huge number of ideas and cases.

There are a lot of options and strategies for finding a small business idea, but they can be reduced to two strategies. Or you are looking for some niche in which you see an opportunity to earn a lot. Or you choose a business to which the soul lies.

And of course, one more great way to start your own business should be mentioned - to open a franchise business. There's nothing wrong with franchises, though. best franchises, of course, cost not small money. So it's not the most affordable way to start a business.

So, naturally, there is always an option to start a business in a topic that you understand as a client or as an employee. For example, you use the services of some industry and you know for sure that companies in it do not improve in this or that. Sometimes you see an opportunity to make a cheaper or better product than is already on the market. Or you may notice that you personally or clients, partners of your employer lack a certain product.

Do you have good idea? Believe in yourself. At least test it. Perhaps the market will immediately tell you that your idea is what you need. It is more likely that the response will be mixed or negative. In any case, you will start something and you will have material to think about.

Another great option is to monetize what you know how to do and love to do, whether it's a job, a calling, or a hobby. Do you love to sew? Try to offer sewing to order, for starters, relatives and friends. Can you work with your hands? So, you can make furniture to order or provide simple repair services. Is the head good? See what services you could offer to friends who already have their own business. Everyone needs marketing, everyone needs work with websites and social networks, everyone needs a service for computers and office equipment, and you never know what else.

Many people are specifically looking for an idea, read success stories, see what is interesting in other cities or in other countries. Franchise directories are another good way find a popular idea, see what people are doing, and then reproduce, copy, improve.

Business ideas are lying around underfoot, so look, sort through, think, we have.

But a business idea is far from being a business. Remember that very often the initial product is very different from what the entrepreneurial team wanted to bring to market in the first place. So test, see what happens, think about how you can make money in this industry.

Testing is again convenient to carry out in the format of a hundred days. I will tell you more about testing at the very end.

Business plan

The main thing in a business plan is its presence. It doesn't matter what is written there. It doesn't matter if it can be implemented. It is important that when you write a business plan, you analyze the market, your opportunities, potential, prospects, as well as competitors.

Writing a business plan is a great exercise in itself. But it shouldn't be dogma. an example of a business plan for a company in your industry or a related industry.

The only moment if you are counting on a start with a quick payback in your business plan is to think at least for yourself and less optimistic options.

Competitive strategy

Competitive strategy is often neglected. Indeed, in practice the classical competitive strategy according to Michael Porter, it is difficult to develop and implement, and for a start-up business it is simply unrealistic, since you don’t know which of the ideas will eventually work and which won’t.

Positioning

Positioning is neglected as often as competitive strategy, but in vain! is a clearly defined position in the mind of the consumer that your product will occupy. The position should justify the value of your product for the client and the difference between your product and analogues or competitors. Even the smallest business needs to be clear about the desired positioning.

In the event that you offer something unique that has never been before, positioning should link your idea with the already existing consumer experience.

Team

Work alone, hire employees, freelancers, or call friends and family for help?

The decision is yours, but we can say for sure that it is best to start with some kind of “support group”, at least.

Ideally, in my opinion, it is worth attracting a partner or several partners. It’s not bad if they are friends or fairly good acquaintances, in this case you don’t need a “grinding in” period, you initially know who is capable of what, it is likely that a certain hierarchy has already been established between you.

If there are no partners, find someone with whom you can at least discuss your ideas, your business.

Just don’t listen to the “critics” who throw mud at you, look for weaknesses in your ideas, or simply moan that nothing can be done in our country. Communicate with those who support you and give good advice.

If a person does not believe in you and says that you will not succeed, contact him at a minimum.

Is it possible to start a business right now?

Resources

First, evaluate what you have. Money, time, knowledge, premises, equipment, materials - it goes without saying. Evaluate more connections, skills, competencies, experience, reputation, personal characteristics. See what you need, what you want. What is missing?

Next, evaluate how to make the most of what you have. How to get what is missing (for example, you need to take an advance payment for orders if you need some materials). How and with what to replace the resources that are not enough.

Remember that even the smallest resources can be used effectively. Let's say 100 rubles a month is not enough. But for 100 rubles you can already register a domain, for example. But 1200 rubles is already enough money to start an advertising campaign in Yandex.Direct.

Successful business start

Starting strategy

So, the choice of a business idea is made, you understand how your product better than competitors, analogues and substitutes, soberly assess the size of the market, then?

And then think about how you will start the first two or three months. Sit down and write down everything you need to do. Try to structure and plan it somehow. As a planning method, a simple to-do list is sufficient, with an approximate breakdown by weeks or months.

Perhaps it is a well-thought-out promotion strategy that is the most important thing in successful start small business with a small budget.

Marketing strategy

Marketing strategy includes positioning, promotion, and competitive strategy. So, we can say that we have already discussed this.

However, I will talk about marketing strategy, because I want to draw your attention to the term marketing mix. Ask what 4P, 5P, 7P are, these are all theories, but they can help you formulate positioning or even come up with "chips" for promotion.

Well, I'll just leave here another useful video with ideas.

Test strategy

Everything thought out or thought out, but you continue to doubt? Test! There are several ways to test a business idea on a budget.

For starters, you can try to "sell" through cold calls a product that does not yet exist. Just call your potential customers and try to offer them your product, product, service.

You can also test online. Put your product on Avito, make a landing page and buy some traffic, promote the group in in social networks(Alternatively, make a profile on behalf of the company and like the posts of people who may be potential customers, so you will draw their attention to yourself and see if they are interested in your product in general).

So try it and it is possible that instead of a test you will get a quick business start.

Finally. Time to start a business!

Many people have made their successful business You're no worse, and you can do it too. Many people tried once, twice, three times - they failed. But then they succeeded. I know a man who made eleven unsuccessful businesses but succeeded with the twelfth! I know a team that has done about 600 projects on the brink of payback, but made millions of dollars on about 601st. Ever tried. Ever failed. no matter. try again. fail again. Fail better."

You will succeed. Everything will be cool.

P.S.

I will answer in one paragraph some of the questions that concern aspiring entrepreneurs.

There are two trends that determine the relevance of small business today. Firstly, a business that will help people save money in a crisis is relevant. For example, a service for renting things, an atelier, a workshop for repairing equipment, or even furniture restoration services. Secondly, business is relevant, which will allow people to solve conscious, but not yet resolved problems. For example, in many small towns and in some remote areas of large cities there are very few cafes, not a single allergen and healthy food store, not a single high-quality restaurant, not a single private kindergarten, although such needs have already been formed. See the list and our list.

What is the most profitable business in the countryside?

The most profitable option rural business is an intermediary business. You buy products from farmers and peasants, and sell them in a large city. If you think this sounds a bit like from the 90s - you think. Today, such a business is not easy to do, but the prospects, including in terms of profit, are colossal. You just need to become not the intermediary who buys cheap and sells in bulk to shops and vegetable stores, but an intermediary who buys raw materials and prepares branded products and high-quality semi-finished products from it (homemade dumplings, etc.). You can sell directly to consumers (via the Internet), as well as through small stores focused on healthy food.

Which business has little competition?

There is little competition in many small towns, and demand in many small towns will be quite decent. Just think, where in a large city is there an area with a population of 10-20 thousand people without a single cafe or gym? Another area in which there is very little competition today is allergenic and healthy food products. It just seems that this is a very narrow niche, in fact, there are a lot of allergy sufferers and people with special nutritional needs today, and with our ecology, there are only more of them every year. If you want a nationwide scale, pay attention to the production of environmentally friendly and healthy food products, as well as eco-friendly household chemicals. Russian and Belarusian manufacturers have already begun to appear here, but there are still enough product categories in which only very expensive European brands are represented.

How to start your business on the Internet?

I am assuming that you have already chosen a niche for creating an Internet business. In this case, start with traffic analysis, use the Yandex.Wordstat service. Is there traffic in the niche? Then make a website. Read the material about how even a full teapot will figure it out. If the business is informational, that is, a blog or article site, start with articles and posts that people will link to. That is, it should be helpful information not found on other sites. If you want to create an online store, make a good landing page for a specific product and give a test advertising campaign (read how to do this in the article about creating a site from scratch).

Where to get money for business?

by the most the best way 3F formula is considered to raise money for a startup: Friends (friends), Fools (fools) and Family (family).

1. Friends. A very common source of initial capital, it can be friends with whom you create a business (their role may be limited to investments).
2. Fools. Unqualified investors who are easily lured into financing even dubious undertakings.
3. Family. An ideal source of seed capital, many successful millionaires started businesses with money borrowed from their aunts, uncles, grandparents or parents (a great example is Richard Branson, his aunt once took out a mortgage on her house, which allowed Branson to open a record label ).

How much money do you need to start a business?

You can start a business with no money at all. Choose the area where you can get prepayment from customers, or do a business that, in principle, does not require any investments.

How to start your own business without money?

Provide domestic services, look for customers through Avito and through acquaintances. You can immediately receive cash flow, but for serious success, each client must be treated with maximum attention. Promise a lot and create more value. Or take a 50% advance payment from customers, which will allow you to finance the work necessary to complete the order.

What business to open with minimal investment?

Ten best options for business with minimal investment (anyone can open, almost no skills required, can be opened within 1-2 months, will give revenue immediately):

1. Resale of goods from the Internet. Goods can be collected from trade aggregators (AliExpress), as well as online auctions (eBay) and other sites (Etsy, Amazon, Ikea). The delivery time of goods on these sites can be more than a month, bulk purchases often give discounts, there is a risk of running into defective goods. As for Ikea, there are simply no stores in most Russian cities. So the intermediary business in this niche is in demand. You can resell both offline and online.
2. Sale of imported goods. Any person has an acquaintance or acquaintance of acquaintances who lives abroad. You can organize a direct supply chain for scarce goods from abroad here using this kind of personal connection. Today, food products banned in the country (but tasty) are in great demand, foreign medicines are always expensive (it is known that even drugs with the same name or active ingredient in Europe and the USA are much better than in the CIS, for many patients this is critical). There will always be a demand for exotic goods from Asia - shoes, clothing, spices and incense. You can sell both online and offline.
3. Local Express delivery, representation of an online store. Any large online store strives to create a large network of self-delivery points, you can quite easily open a self-delivery point that cooperates with several online stores at once. A good overview of the conditions for opening points of various online stores.
4. Food from the village. In the countryside, you can find a lot of quality food - good chicken eggs, quality meat, greens, vegetables. All this, as a rule, comes to urban residents with great difficulty. You can find good suppliers in the countryside and then find consumers in the city. How to find consumers? Call relatives and friends, create and promote an account on social networks, contact quality restaurants and private kindergartens (they try to cook from quality products, but it is difficult to find them, so you will be welcome). Produce food and healthy semi-finished products from purchased raw materials, or order them from the same farmers (dumplings, meatballs, canned vegetables, jam).

This type of business is not prostitution at all (or whatever you think there is). But to help women assemble this strange wardrobe not from Ikea, fix the bed, the faucet, replace the wallpaper ...

Labor costs- 3 to 8 hours a day
Advantages- high income. From 20 to 100 thousand rubles per month. It all depends on your skills and hours of work.

No. 9 Movers on call

Strong guys are needed by everyone and always. And really everyone - from private clients who just want to transport the piano, to small, medium and large companies that periodically or one-time need to lift, move something, and so on.

The second important point is that you yourself do not have to be a loader. That is why the idea becomes twice as attractive.

To begin with, you are looking for people who could fulfill these duties. It's good that special education or no one will require a license for such work. With these people, whose informal base you can constantly change and supplement, you agree on a piecework payment option.

In the minimum case, the business is then ready. You just look for orders and implement them. However, this method will be too superficial and will not bring good returns.

It would be better to open a sole proprietorship and open a checking account. After all, if you plan to work with organizations, it is the account that will help to avoid difficulties. Cash firms are not too fond of, and so, there will be somewhere to transfer payment to you.

Now, a little about how to look for orders. After all, without orders, there is no meaning to all activities. standard and most simple options some:

1. We go to the worldwide network and look for any organizations in our city. And then we just call ahead with an offer of our services right now and for the future. Be sure to leave contacts. We warn you right away, the exhaust from cold ringing will be small. But it will. On average - 100-200 calls will provide you with one order. And then - on the rise. Someone will remember you if necessary, someone will take note.
2. The simplest ads on boards and social networks. Without it, nowhere. Let your company's contacts be visible. Usually people do not hesitate to call at the slightest need, if only to find out the price.

Don't forget to consider the price. And before that, monitor the current prices in your city.

Labor costs- about 4-8 hours a day, depending on the number of orders and the success of the promotion.
Advantages- There are always orders
Flaws- low rates

No. 10 SMS informing parents about school attendance by children

As they say, an idea worth a million, but with its own difficulties. And the safety of children is a topic that never ceases to be relevant.

The point is to install special machines in schools and provide children with cards. When a child comes to school and leaves it, he puts his card to the machine. Immediately, the parent receives a notification on the phone about this.

Income is based on the subscription fee for using the service. The service itself is completely voluntary and has nothing to do with the usual access system in schools.

The question arises - how to negotiate with parents and with yourself educational institution. Actually, it's a bit complicated. The school management will be interested in the installation if two conditions are met. First, the equipment for the school will be free. Second, at least some of the parents will support the idea.

It will be possible to agree with the parents if you immediately explain that this is a voluntary matter. And that no one will take too much from them. Only payment for the SMS messages themselves. In that case, many will agree that keeping abreast of the movements of your child for a small fee is a good idea.

Business, of course, will require investments, but, which is very good, they will be small and quickly paid off. So, the equipment itself for one point will cost about 20 thousand. One card will cost 30 rubles. Cards can be issued to parents on bail. For example, 100 rubles. But this is a pledge, not a purchase.

Next comes the monthly subscription fee. For example, the same 100 rubles. This will not hit the pocket, regardless of the level of family income. Now a pack of cigarettes costs the same. Only smokers spend 100 rubles a day on this, not a month. One SMS message will cost a few cents.

According to statistics, 30 percent of parents perceive the idea very well. But the biggest difficulty is getting them to pay on time and not forget about it.

After the launch, you will need to adjust your work in such a way as to respond in time to a change in the mobile phone numbers of the parents, to which notifications will be sent. And also quickly and without extra costs change lost and broken children's cards.

After the launch in one school, the installation of equipment in others will go easier, because there will be a good working example. To understand how quickly this type of investment can be recouped, take 1,000 children per school as a calculation point. This will give a rough idea of ​​the level of earnings.
Advantages- Relevance of the topic
Flaws- Difficult to negotiate

No. 11 Sale of draft milk

Milk is one of those products for which demand never falls. Even during an unstable economic situation, when prices soar, leaving the income of the population far behind them. Therefore, creating a business for the needs of customers, simplifying the business with a competitive product, is not too difficult. Moreover, milk, for example, from a barrel, can really be sold cheaper than bottled milk in any network hypermarket.

To start, you can purchase a barrel, for example, 500 liters. And that will be the only significant cost. If you are trying to save money, it is more profitable to consider selling barrels from the hands, and not from the manufacturer. In this case, you can meet the 50-70 thousand rubles.

Such a barrel calmly clings to the car and is calmly transported from place to place. If you do not have a car, you can add to the scheme who can transport it by agreeing on a fixed amount per flight.

The next major step is to find a supplier. It can be any farmer, located not too far away. The scheme of working with him is simple - every morning you take milk from him and make the calculation on the spot.

However, it is important to remember here that milk must be taken to the laboratory for analysis in order for you to be issued a certificate. And when everything is done, milk and a certificate are “on hand”, you need to come to a specific point and trade (it would be better to hire a seller).

As for the price, it is quite realistic to buy milk on farms at a price of 15-20 rubles per liter. Of course, in particular cases, everything will depend on the volume of goods. You need to sell a little cheaper than the store, but not by much. Otherwise it will be unprofitable. For example, 30 with a little rubles.

What you need from the documentation:

• IP registration
• Employment contract with the seller
• Sanitary book for the seller
• Papers for renting a place of trade
• Product certificate

It is better to rent a place near the market, or get permission from the city administration for a specific point.

Labor costs- about 8 hours a day

Advantages- Demand for the product is constant

Flaws- Requires a lot of permissions

№12 Rental of 4-wheel bicycles

4-wheel bicycles, or, as they are called, velomobiles, are an excellent kind of family vacation in any park areas equipped with normal paths. Naturally, such units will not be specially bought. But renting, as practice shows, is a popular idea. Moreover, up to 6 people can fit on one velomobile. Therefore, entertainment is interesting for both a family of several people and a group of friends.

For business, park areas, embankments in cities, and recreation areas may be suitable. As for the price, on average, about 50 thousand rubles will be asked for a Chinese-made velomobile. However, there is a cheaper way - to find a master who would make wheeled vehicles to order. There is nothing difficult in this. But of course you have to search.

For those who are very limited in funds, an option with installments or a loan may be suitable.

After you have decided on a place, you need to understand who is its owner. If it does not belong to a specific company or individual, then you will need to obtain permission from the city administration.

The rental price should be based on your costs, but in this case you can’t go too far, otherwise customers simply won’t respond even if they want to. For example, 100 rubles for half an hour is quite an adequate price for a more or less large city.

When organizing, remember that the client is required to take not only a fee, but also a deposit. Usually it is an identity document. Otherwise, you will quickly lose your “fleet”. If you want to protect yourself from theft completely, install a special device - a tracker that will show the coordinates of each velomobile.

If the rental is large enough, then it will be more profitable to hire additional staff who will work in shifts.

Labor costs- about 4-6 hours a day

Advantages- Wide audience
Flaws- IN major cities already high competition + seasonality

#13 Cargo transportation without costs

The idea is based on the fact that you do not need your own freight transport. Because you will be working with hired drivers who have their own trucks.

In fact, there are a lot of such drivers who could respond to your request. This is due to the fact that the search for customers is not the most pleasant experience, and many are limited to a simple announcement of the opportunity to hire themselves with their own transport. Not everyone also climbs into the advertising jungle.

How exactly to work with drivers is up to you. The main thing is to agree in advance. Some prefer piecework pay based on the number of hours worked. Others calculate mileage. It may be easier to set a "own percentage". That is, you find a customer and transfer it to a specific driver, who, having completed the work and received the money, gives you the agreed part.

Finding customers is not as difficult as it seems. There are several common options:

• Calling organizations in your city
• Paper advertisements around the city
• Specialized sites on the Internet

When talking to a client, be sure to state your terms in full. And when the customer gives his consent, immediately discuss all the details - the place, time, the cargo itself, additional conditions and wishes, phone numbers and responsible persons.

Even if the client is “one-time”, save his contacts, in this way you will ensure that you have your own customer base, to whom you can re-offer in the future own services and report promotions.

Labor costs- full time on the phone

Advantages- standing orders
Flaws- High density of competition.

No. 14 Sale of berries and fruits from Thailand

At first glance, the idea may seem strange. After all, for a long time we no longer live behind the Iron Curtain. And trips to exotic places where you can enjoy this are not so sky-high unattainable. However, in the era economic crisis, as statistics show, many prefer to postpone vacation for the future. And in fact, a very large percentage of the population does not leave our country.

Therefore, organizing a business selling “specific products” from hot countries is a completely feasible task. The main thing here is to find a supplier. The problem is that those who constantly work with the delivery of goods from other countries and can help with the execution of all documents do not handle cargo in small volumes. And they will not take on small parties. Therefore, you will have to spend time and effort searching.

Another option is to find a person who will buy goods in a particular country and send them to you by air. Naturally, the payment will be negotiable.

The price at which you will sell products in Russia will have to be made up of several factors. For example, customs costs, prime cost, buyer's labor fees, postal percentage will be affected. But the most important thing is the period for which the product deteriorates. The smaller it is, the greater the percentage of the markup on the price tag you will need to add. Because the loss of part of the goods in such a business is an inevitable fate.

The assortment can be quite diverse, unlike the store, where often you will not find anything other than a couple of items. So, you can start selling such dishes:

• durian
• pomelo
• Coconut
• Banana
• Rambutan
• A pineapple
• Darogonfruit
• Mango
• Guava
• Mangosteen
• Jackfruit
• Longkong
• passion fruit
• Chempedak
• Tamarind
• Salak
• Tangerine
• sapodilla
• Papaya

And this is not a complete list of what is possible. Naturally, over time, you will be able to optimize the assortment depending on the results.
Advantages- Unusualness, the ability to focus on the audience with high level income.
Flaws- Possible difficulties with customs

No. 15 Sale of production waste and expired products

A strange idea for making money, however, has a completely working scheme. The fact is that many food products, when they expire, are simply disposed of. Naturally, factories and firms that have to throw away past stage sales of a product spend some money on these processes. It is necessary to pay for transportation, the disposal itself, the work of people involved in this business. Naturally, it would be more profitable for them to get rid of these expenses if someone took away or redeemed such products.

Question - for what? Everything is simple. If you take, for example, bread, which is already subject to disposal, then you need to keep in mind that it is still suitable. As an option - to feed livestock on numerous farms. The same is true for the confectionery industry.

Therefore, your task is to find a "supplier" of such products. If you go to the factory, you can stumble upon a refusal. Because, alas, some industries use an expired product, breaking it down into ingredients, which are subsequently mixed into a new fresh batch of the same product.

But, of course, not everyone does this. Therefore, among several plants and factories, you will definitely be able to find a supplier.

The question is better to start with accounting. This is where pricing takes place. It is also possible to agree on payment of a symbolic price on your part. Up to 1 ruble per kilogram of product. But there will definitely be a price tag.

Once a supplier is found, finding a buyer is easy. This will help a small price on your product. Start with ads on profile portals. You can also visit the farms in person to reach an agreement. Over time, regular customers will participate in this scheme.

Labor costs- about 8 hours a day

Advantages- Low cost of goods
Flaws- Graph Density

No. 16 Redecoration of the entrances of apartment buildings

The scheme of this type of business is based on contracts with management companies and housing offices. The fact is that the departments themselves often do not have their own teams of workers who will carry out the orders. And, considering how many houses even in small towns need to be monitored, the work is ongoing. The housing office is very likely to turn to hired brigades. Here is a hired team that will be ready to take on orders and you have to assemble. And that will be the first step.

Finding a person who can perform certain construction and repair work will not be difficult. If you do not have such among your friends, look for ads, there are a lot of them now. For starters, a small staff will be enough - 2-3 people.

The second step is to determine the price of the work. It is better if your team includes a builder or repairman who already knows the value of his employment. So you can immediately voice the price tags when communicating with a potential customer. This is important so that the client does not “fly off”. If you have difficulty with this, please contact construction companies. They usually provide free consultations.

After that, it remains to find a housing office that needs a team and discuss the conditions with it. It is important to conclude a contract after agreeing on the terms so that you can receive payment. Part of the funds will go to the salary of your team, and part - to you.

As an addition to this business or its expansion, you can earn money on the transportation and delivery of building materials.

Labor costs- Constant communication in person and by phone
Advantages- standing orders
Flaws- Competition and red tape

№17 Dry fog as a remedy for odors

Dry fog is so named because the device that is used to eliminate odors throws out a special air suspension that looks exactly like fog. Actually the mixture is special composition, which is sprayed in the form of microscopic crystals. They are able to penetrate even the smallest holes and gaps, simultaneously absorbing any odors.

The dry mist sprayer is by no means bulky. Like a vacuum cleaner, it can be dragged with one hand. The cost of such a unit varies between 20-30 thousand rubles.

In addition to the device itself, as a consumable, you will need to purchase the actual liquid, from which the “miracle machine” will generate fog. The cost of one bottle is about 100 rubles. It is enough for about 1 car as a whole, if the smell needs to be removed from the car.

The odor removal procedure takes about forty minutes. In experienced hands - even less. Dry fog is able to cope with many odors. For example, it calmly removes the old smell of tobacco in the cabin. According to statistics, you can not think about the appearance of this smell after the procedure for at least a whole month.

When building a business, you don’t need to overestimate the price tag for the procedure, so you will get more customers. 500 rubles at a time will be enough. The main thing to remember is that in order to achieve the effect, you must first remove the object - the source of the smell. So, if it is a spoiled rotten product, then you first need to remove it, and then proceed to the cleaning procedure.

Another important detail is the plaque. It can be formed during the settling of a mist suspension. Therefore, you should remember about safety precautions when covering important elements with a film.

The price for services is usually formed by area. The larger the room where you want to remove the smell, the higher the price tag of the procedure.

Advantages- Low competition
Flaws- Difficult customer search

No. 18 Sale of waste from livestock farms

We have already analyzed the opportunity to make money on the sale of expired products from food production to farmers. But these same farmers can also find goods for subsequent sale to another buyer.

We are talking about animal waste products from farms. Usually they are stored near the farm itself. Of course, there are those who are engaged in the export and sale themselves, but not everyone can allocate time.

In order to take out waste from the “supplier” to the customer, the first thing you need is a suitable truck. There are several options here. Firstly, in the village located next to the farm, there may be a suitable vehicle. And with the driver. And given that in the villages the standard level of income is less than in the city, it will be easy to agree on payment.

Secondly, you can buy a car yourself. And supported is best. Because you will carry manure and because it makes no sense to spend large sums on a new car from the very beginning.

After the issue with the vehicle is resolved, it will be necessary to negotiate directly with the farmer, who always has goods in stock. And since without such proposals the farmer himself has to take out the waste, it will not be difficult to negotiate with him.

The next stage of setting up a business is connected with the workers who will load the “material” into the car. Again, it is worth hiring people, either living in the nearby village or the farm workers themselves.

The last step is to find a buyer. Such waste goes well as fertilizer for plants. Therefore, the main audience to be guided by is the owners of crop farms and summer residents. In the second case, you can put a car with manure on the right days directly at the entrance to summer cottages. Then the clients themselves will be interested in you about the cost of the sold manure. Or you can use standard methods - posting ads and the Internet.

According to statistics, the cost of one manure machine varies within 2000 rubles. In successful cases, you can sell more than one car of manure per day.

Labor costs- Full time work

Advantages- There are always suppliers
Flaws- "Dirty job

#19 Acquaintances in the process of completing quests

This idea combines two services popular with people. Quest rooms are a popular entertainment and dating service, which, judging by the numerous dating sites, will never lose popularity.

The gaming environment and new sensations always encourage closer cooperation, even for complete strangers. Therefore, the idea deserves attention. Naturally, the search for potential customers in this case is primarily conducted through the Internet. And even if in the process of passing the game in real time people did not have the opportunity to find a mate, a good time will not leave them in a bad mood. Customers will still be happy.

Advantages- Combination of two popular ideas
Flaws- Competition

No. 20 Advertising on your own windows

We are all used to seeing advertisements everywhere for a long time - from newspapers to street ads on banners and even simple poles. Advertising today is the engine of any business and advertisers are constantly looking for new effective platforms. So, finding a client among those who need to place their advertisement is a matter of time and desire.

Recently, the idea has begun to develop to offer advertising space on their own windows and balconies of residential buildings. If you are a person who is ready to sacrifice his “glass” or a place on the facade for the sake of earning money, then you should think about this method.

It makes no sense to paint how to find a client, first of all you need to be able to offer and not be afraid to communicate. But for those lacking those skills, there's an easier way to subtly sell your space. You can organize a small billboard, where, before an advertisement from a particular company or person appears, your sign will hang about the sale of this very place for advertising.

It all depends on your creativity. Alternatively, you can write popular words: “here can be your ad.” And it is natural to add a telephone for communication under this slogan. In this case, it is more likely that the client will find you. Especially if the place that you offer is really well suited, that is, it is viewed from the side and will be visible to a large number of people.

Labor costs- Almost not

Advantages- Passive income
Flaws- You will have to sacrifice your windows or facade

Choosing a niche like manufacturing can bring many benefits, from self-satisfaction (because you're doing what you love) to a steady income.

What should be kept in mind when entering this market? Of course, this is giving everything oneself to the cause, there will be a return - there will be positive attitude . Elementary Algorithm.

You need to open production because you are perfect (someone knows how to draw and sells paintings, another is engaged in the creation of author's soap, etc.), this is the most difficult stage discoveries, even money for a startup, is easier to find than to choose your craft with maximum accuracy.

As soon as you decide on the direction, you should produce in small batches (very good if you already have your own sales market), analyzing all the actions thoroughly. Gradually increase the batches, and if the batches grow, sales grow - more money.

Types of business in the manufacturing sector

In order to show the whole principle and give examples from the production sector, you need to know all the details, and first of all, what exists only two areas of activity in the production direction.

Food production

Everything is extremely simple here, produce what you know how to cook with high quality and tasty, whether it be hodgepodge, pita bread, dumplings or many other dishes.

As in any field, there are pitfalls here:

• All the hassle will be in the expiration date, therefore, a quick sale is needed, and in our time it is not so easy to find;
• The next problem you will face is the storage space for the finished product. Indeed, often home refrigerators are not enough even to accommodate one batch of a medium-sized product, so you have to buy more (if you are chasing quality, you will have to fork out). Depending on the product, storage conditions may not be suitable;
• Correctly determine the price final product . At first glance, it seems like an elementary action, but you need to analyze many factors, calculate how much money goes to purchase components, etc.

Let's summarize the knowledge gained. For a large number of batches, you should rent a specialized room with the aspects you need (temperature, refrigerators, etc.), while taking it at a price that you can recoup by selling the batch, but do not forget about the shelf life of the final product.

For small batches, home conditions are also suitable, taking into account the acquisition of some important things for the craft, each one will have different ones, so it is impossible to name them. Most likely, an additional refrigerator should become a common purchase for all areas.

Production of goods

In this form, the conversation will focus on inedible goods. Which many use every day, and the enterprises producing them receive solid money. You can engage in this activity without having extensive premises and other material.

As elsewhere, here it is necessary to clearly define the goods produced (the range of choice is striking in its scale, from toothpicks to furniture). Analyze whether it is necessary to rent a room or buy the necessary equipment, etc.

When all the previous points are completed, find a point of sale for finished products (this type of production has its advantages, you don’t have to constantly monitor the expiration date, look for suppliers of ingredients, etc.).

Where to get start-up capital?

This question is asked by everyone who comes into any industry. After all initial capital helps to establish and rise to a certain level, as well as to purchase equipment, the presence of which is mandatory. Of course, no one takes away the opportunity to rise "from scratch", but the lack necessary equipment unacceptable.

So, you need to look for money, everyone will have their own amount, you can find it in different ways:

1. Borrow from friends a certain amount;
2. save, by setting aside part of the funds from the general budget;
3. Sell ​​out what you don't need property;
4. State subsidy, it happens extremely rarely in two cases: either acquaintances, or a really unique idea with a clear business plan;

Possible business ideas

It is enough to carefully look around you and you will already be able to notice some details that can be implemented by your own production. Now there will be a few real examples to open own production at minimal cost.

Slipper production

One of the simplest startup options, it requires minimal investment only for wool, thread, jewelry and a sewing machine, if it is not available. No room rental required, everything can be neatly arranged in your home.

The only thing that is absolutely necessary is a person who knows how to knit, knows the size of the legs and has a fantasy, since you need to be able to insert something of your own (decorate in every possible way, embroider the name of the customer, etc.), a kind of distinctive sign.

Next, you should give a satisfactory price for the finished product based on the analysis percentage and after that, start somehow promoting your product to the masses (advertising in the newspaper and social networks is best).

Making business cards

By itself, a business card has long been considered a kind of sign of trust, as people exchange them, hoping for further cooperation.

So now let's look at this species under the prism of rational calculation and analysis. For the production of business cards, you do not need to rent a room; it is enough to have a computer, printer, scan, paper. From software word, Corel Draw and Photoshop to create the desired design if the customer does not have a template.

In the bottom line, we have expenses in the amount of 1000$ — 5000$ (if none of the necessary equipment is available), or in the amount of $ 10-100 (if all of the above is available, then only Consumables). Profit depends on your popularity, the more popular you are, the more people know you - more money.

Framing Workshop

To begin with, it is worth understanding what a framing workshop is. This is a workshop that makes various decorative items from wood, ranging from frames to carved handicrafts and custom-made furniture.

It is this industry that requires medium investments at the initial stage in order to rent a room (ideally 30 square meters), hire three workers (foreman, manager, outsourcing), buy mandatory materials and tools, without which the organization cannot exist.

Necessary equipment:

• Guillotine (about 1500 euros);
• Machine for stitching material (2000 euros);
• Passe-partout machine (2500 euros)

This niche can be entered by those who have capital and are ready to sell it, this enterprise will pay off in just a month (average income small firms 10000-15000 euros per month). It's definitely worth starting.

Clay products

What does this production include? Most often, these are various clay crafts to order or decorative utensils (vases, cups, etc.).

The niche is quite in demand, it does not require large investments, the only thing that is absolutely necessary is boundless imagination (for decorating and coloring finished products) and love for one's work, because some will soon get bored with it.

Investments are almost negligible, requires clay, paints, brushes and a potter's wheel for dishes, you can do production at home, it takes up little space.

soap making

No matter how easy it may seem, opening a soap-making production is extremely costly for the wallet and nerves, therefore it is not entirely suitable for beginners.

Let's start with the fact that in Russia it is impossible to legally and at home produce such a product as soap. To start doing it need to rent a dedicated space(it must have suitable equipment, temperature, otherwise you will have to buy everything at your own expense), get a certificate that the soap and the room have passed many checks, and all this is not free.

Only after these machinations can you start making. Let's summarize the result: it's a costly business, the soap-making vector is not developing, sales are unstable. For the first time, production is not suitable.

Conclusion

From all of the above, we can conclude. There are many areas of activity with minimal initial investment, but it is best to choose what you do perfectly (and enjoy), then everything will be fine for you.

Money in the first steps is not as important as diligence and purposefulness. Choose a niche correctly, looking only at your interests.
