Highly profitable activities. Ideas for business with minimal investment

There are a lot of profitability indicators (more than twenty), so it is important to decide what kind of profitability you should talk about when assessing the effectiveness of a small business. Most often, in the case of small businesses, they talk about the profitability of production. This is the ratio of profit to the sum of the cost of fixed assets and working capital. It is about such profitability (unless it is separately indicated about the use of another concept) that we will talk about in this article.

From classical literature and crime chronicles, we know that the most profitable type of modern business is a simple robbery on the street. Even an income of ten rubles fully pays for zero costs. Profitability is infinity! But seriously, it is impossible to answer exactly the question of what type of business is now the most profitable. This follows from the very nature of entrepreneurship - a novice businessman strives to engage in the most profitable type of small business, and this increases competition and, as a result, reduces profitability.

The main advice on how to choose a promising business can be formulated as follows - come up with a new human need and satisfy it.

The greatest profitability gives only a completely new type of business. However, few can make such a discovery. If you are not a genius, then you still do not need to despair. You can analyze the current market situation, local conditions, your capabilities and conduct successful business activities. This article is devoted to the question of what types of business with minimal investment today give the best return. Now everything is in order.

Forms and types of business

From the school curriculum it is known what types of business and its forms exist. A lot of them. However, for small businesses, it is necessary to distinguish between production activities, the provision of services and trade. It is these types of activities that 90% of individual entrepreneurs are engaged in. As for the forms of doing small business, it is an individual entrepreneurship or a limited liability company. The advantages and disadvantages of these forms of entrepreneurship in relation to small businesses are described in special articles, so we will not dwell on this. We only note that if you want to work with industry, it is better to be a VAT payer.

Hello dear readers. Today we’ll talk about business during the 2019 crisis and share a small selection of relevant business ideas in an unstable time of crisis. If you have your own ideas, we are waiting for them in the comments below the article.

What to open a business in a crisis

This is probably the main question for everyone who wants to make money during the crisis. Let's see what successful entrepreneurs have to say about it.

Founder and owner of Tinkoff Bank.

According to Oleg Tinkov, in times of crisis, special attention should be paid to the medical field and everything connected with it. With a reasonable approach, startups that are focused on the production of dietary supplements, medicines, equipment for clinics and pharmacy chains can be profitable. Little competition and growing demand creates ideal conditions for private medical institutions and the hospital sector.

In the absence of large initial investments, Oleg Tinkov advises to pay attention to the promising market for the development of applications for gadgets and online consulting. The businessman rightly believes that Russia is noticeably behind many world developments in the field of medicine and care for them by 15–20 years, and there are a lot of opportunities for copying for newcomers.

A good income in the future can be provided by investments in medical development and R&D. The only problem is the high cost and long payback period of such business projects, and in Russia they are not used to doing this.

Founder and owner of companies such as Dymovskoye Sausage Production, Suzdal Ceramics, Respublika (a chain of bookstores) and Rubezh (cafes and restaurants).

The owner of a network of well-known companies believes that in these crisis conditions it is better to start business projects related to import substitution. A hint will be provided by an analysis of the trade market and customs statistics over the past few years. It may be some types of food, the demand for which has been stable. He believes that the crisis has not changed either people or officials.

Vadim Dymov is convinced that it is possible to reach financial peaks by opening new projects in agriculture. As an option, he proposes using state land shares in the Far East to grow soybeans, which can be exported to China. A risky but simple business can bring significant profits.

The businessman does not rule out success when opening startups in the field of machine-building logistics and components for assembling units. He claims that there are absolutely free niches for the development of medium and small businesses in small towns far from Moscow. Why not open a carpentry shop to produce excellent domestic furniture? Suddenly? But it is very pleasant to create and use your own, to raise your own brand.

Founder and owner of the network of pizzerias "Dodo Pizza".

According to Fedor Ovchinnikov, the time of crisis is a period that is favorable for opening almost any business. After all, this crisis simply forms a new one from the usual coordinate system, and life continues to go on as usual. Only the rules of the game change, and it becomes important not “what”, but “how” to act in the new conditions.

Fedor Ovchinnikov is confident that Mercedes will be in demand even during the crisis. The main thing is to find an optimal and competitive business model in order to win in modern conditions.

Fedor Ovchinnikov suffered a major setback early in his financial career. His first book sales project turned out to be unprofitable and failed, but only helped the businessman develop a new strategy. Now the entrepreneur treats the beginning of each of his business as if there is a severe crisis in the yard. He immediately asks himself a reasonable question: “What will happen to his business project when everything goes bad, even if at this stage everything is fine?” He rightly believes that it is in this difficult and new time that a healthy and strong business can be formed in the country.

Founder and owner of the Expedition company.

According to entrepreneur Alexander Kravtsov, now is a great time for any new undertakings. Here it is important to invest your soul in a business project and maintain good spirits. If you do not hide and do not retreat, then everything can turn out to be an excellent and profitable business.

Alexander Kravtsov believes that there are no crises. Now there are a lot of markets that are losing money. But there are many enterprises that are simply overwhelmed with stable orders. For example, the only Russian company manufacturing backpacks is loaded at full capacity.

The businessman believes that interesting and relevant topics for a new business are food and tourism development.

It is better to become more active in those financial niches where foreign investments have left. But he recommends being more careful with fixed items of expenditure. Serious changes are taking place in the market in favor of the employer: many active and qualified specialists are being released who can be useful for new projects.

Alexander Kravtsov believes that a businessman in a crisis should become a cynic: do not pay high rents, do not pay inflated premiums and do not invest in dubious projects.

TOP - 15 business ideas in a crisis

Below we have collected 15 small business ideas in a crisis. This is not all that can be discovered in an unstable economic situation, so we will try to supplement the article. Including your ideas, which you leave in the comments!

You can also get useful information from the article about.

Business idea number 1 - Opening an online store

Upfront costs- from 200 000 rubles.

The general essence of the proposed idea is the development and organization of an online store, the sale of goods through the site, its delivery to customers using a courier service or regular mail. The relevance of such a project is confirmed by numerous economic analysis of the market. The service is more and more in demand among buyers of the middle age category, and the monthly growth of the market speaks of its prospects.

When planning to open an online store for women's or children's clothing, the owner faces the following costs:

• expenses for the development and technical support of the smooth operation of the site;
• salary of administrator, courier;
• if necessary, rent a warehouse;
• transportation costs for the purchase of goods.

The rent for the premises of a stationary store is replaced by the content of the site, the purchase of software, advertising costs.

The average percentage of profitability of knitwear and clothing stores is at the level of 20-25%. With investments in the purchase of goods of more than 200,000 rubles, the monthly net profit can be from 40,000 rubles. By actively promoting an online store, analyzing the assortment and costs, you can pay back such a project in 4-6 months.

Business idea number 2 - Opening a street fast food

Estimated cost of the project- 275,000 rubles.

The essence of the idea is the opening of a small outlet for the manufacture and sale of a certain type of snacks and drinks to the consumer. Unlike the usual shawarma and hot dogs, the project proposes to develop a range based on sandwiches with nutritious and tasty fillings, classic or closed sandwiches. The relevance of the idea lies in the constant demand for fast food products. During the crisis, people are less likely to go out to restaurants and are increasingly opting for quick and inexpensive street food.

It is better to open such a stationary point in places with a large flow of people: near metro stations or bus stops, shopping arcades, higher educational institutions. Main costs:

• rent of a place of trade;
• purchase of a stall, tent or trailer;
• purchase of thermal and refrigerating showcases, equipment for work.

If we base the calculation of the approximate income on a daily turnover in the region of 8,000 rubles, then we can talk about an average monthly revenue of 240,000 rubles. With a profitability of 30% set in the price, such street fast food will pay for itself in 5 months. You can increase the influx of customers by adding dishes with non-standard ingredients, offers for vegetarians or healthy food connoisseurs who have difficulty finding a decent catering outlet.

Business idea number 3 - Opening a pancake cafe on wheels

Initial investment- 400,000 rubles.

The business idea is based on the equipment of a pancake baking point, the organization of the production of special fillings, and the sale of this original fast food to the buyer. There are quite a few companies on the market offering a delicious product, so the competition in the sector is high. By relying on non-standard products for fillings, beautiful serving, excellent taste, you can get a stable profit and regular customers.

To organize the process, it is better to choose a mobile point that can be moved when changing the place of trade, transported to participate in events and public holidays. Its equipment will become the main cost item for opening a pancake cafe.

Successful development of production is possible in the case of:

• a wide range of interesting fillings;
• staff professionalism;
• correct choice of location.

In most of these enterprises, the margin level is 80-100%, which fully covers utility bills, all costs and gives a stable profit. We can talk about full self-sufficiency only after a few months due to the initially low cost of this product, a lot of competition.

Business idea number 4 - Bakery and confectionery

Approximate investment amount- 1,000,000 rubles.

It is worth noting that people will always want to eat, in connection with this, opening a business in the field of catering during a crisis period becomes relevant, even when not everything is in order with the economy in the country. Small firms that combine the functions of a bakery and a store are gaining popularity in large cities. An interesting assortment and a pleasant homely atmosphere can attract buyers with different incomes. The essence of this idea is the design and opening of a fully equipped enterprise that is engaged in baking and selling bakery and confectionery products to the consumer.

To accommodate a bakery and pastry shop, it is necessary to carefully select a place with good traffic. Ideally, if there is a shopping center, bus stop or office block nearby. The project can be developed in two directions:

• a simple bakery and confectionery with a sales area;
• a bakery with a small cafeteria for visitors.

The first option is more economical in terms of investment and requires less time to organize. With a good location, a bakery can serve 300 - 800 visitors a day, each of which will make a purchase in the amount of 200 - 400 rubles. The approximate profitability of a small enterprise without a cafeteria is 20%. With such volumes of trade, the costs of opening a bakery and confectionery will pay off in less than 10-12 months.

Business Idea #5 – Opening an Outsourcing Company

Minimum investment- 550,000 rubles.

The essence of such a project is the creation of an outsourcing company that provides various services to third parties for a fee. As the main specialization, you can choose accounting or legal business support, solving financial or IT issues, creating an external call center to work with orders. The market for such outsourcing firms is just emerging, making the business project relevant. During a crisis, many companies reduce staff and it is more profitable for them to outsource tasks.

To organize and start work, it is necessary to solve two specific tasks:

• rent of a convenient office space in the central part of the city;
• attracting real professionals in the chosen field to the staff.

In addition to the initial costs of renting and decorating an office, it is necessary to invest part of the funds in advertising and maintenance of life in the first months of formation. Work with clients is carried out on the basis of a special contract. The cost of services is calculated individually for each working situation. Much attention must be paid to the quality and completeness of the work. This will help in attracting regular customers and increasing the level of profitability of the outsourcing company.

Business Idea #6 - Opening a Canteen

Minimum investment- 1,000,000 rubles.

The essence of the project is the opening of a small catering establishment in the format of a city canteen. Her services will be in demand among people with different incomes: students, pensioners, business travelers. Such budget canteens have a stable demand and show low competition even in large cities.

After choosing the format of work, you should decide on the room. It must fully meet certain technical requirements. The best option would be to rent a former catering establishment or a spacious hall near the station, universities, shopping malls.

The main cost items can be:

• refurbishment of the premises for visitors;
• purchase of kitchen and commercial equipment;
• training and maintenance of the team.

It is considered optimal to accommodate up to 50 visitors at the same time. Workload varies depending on the time of the working day. The average indicator is a patency of 50-60% with a check for 200-300 rubles. The daily income of a canteen with such a volume starts from 25,000 rubles. Taking into account all the overhead costs and the cost of renting a room, such a “delicious” business project can pay off in a year of stable operation.

Business idea number 7 - Business in the production of frame houses

Minimum investment- 500,000 rubles.

The essence of such a project is the development and implementation of a business idea for the construction of turnkey frame houses. The acquisition of small wooden houses is in demand among the middle class, which seeks to move closer to nature outside the city. Construction work from foundation to turnkey delivery does not exceed several months. The affordable amount of material costs makes frame houses a good investment.

To implement the project, it will be necessary to open several offices in different districts, which will accept orders and conclude contracts for the sale of finished objects. At the first stage, the main investments will be:

• training and salaries of construction teams;
• maintenance of staff in the office;
• advertising expenses;
• purchase of the necessary tool kits.

The level of profitability is calculated based on the cost of materials spent on the object. On average, one meter of living space costs 30-40 thousand rubles. It can be sold at a price of 70 thousand rubles, having received a net profit after the sale of a cottage or townhouse in the amount of up to 2 million rubles. Such a business can become profitable and bring a stable income, paying off after two completed projects.

Business idea number 8 - Opening an economy class hairdresser

The amount of capital investments- over 300,000 rubles.

The essence of the business idea is the opening of a small hairdressing salon that provides a full range of necessary services at affordable prices. Such a project will be relevant in large and medium-sized cities due to the constant demand of the population of different ages and incomes. By providing quality service at affordable prices for most customers, you can make a project with a stable income.

The bulk of the costs are for the purchase of specialized furniture, working equipment and cosmetics, the design and equipment of a hairdressing salon. Good traffic is ensured by its opening in a residential densely populated area next to a bus stop, shopping centers. For additional profit, you can:

• to use the transfer of workplaces for rent instead of hired personnel;
• invite representatives of related professions to sublease to increase the flow of customers (manicurists, make-up artists).

With an average check for a service of 250 rubles and servicing at least 16 visitors per shift, the payback period of investments is planned to be up to 18 months. Expanding the list of services, holding promotions and self-promotion will help improve the result, guaranteeing a profitability of 29%.

Business idea number 9 - Opening a pharmacy

Upfront costs- from 500 000 rubles.

The essence of the idea is the wholesale purchase of a wide range of medicines and the organization of a stationary pharmacy for the retail sale of these medicines to the population. Given the high demand for this type of product, even with the existing level of competition, the project can be a very profitable financial idea.

A good and stable profit in this line of business depends on the pricing policy, the choice of the most stable suppliers and location. A small pharmacy operating as a discounter will be in stable demand among the population of the residential area. Its opening is optimal near metro stations, transport stops or grocery supermarkets.

To implement the project, you will need:

• specially converted non-residential premises;
• personnel with appropriate education;
• conclusion of contracts with trusted suppliers.

The profitability of a pharmacy is directly proportional to the turnover of medicines. Given the peculiarities of the legislation, entrepreneurs set high mark-ups for some groups of drugs. Additional income comes from the sale of medical equipment, hygiene items, baby food.

Business idea number 10 - Opening a children's commission store

Estimated investments- 300,000 rubles.

The general essence of the idea is the organization of a small store to accept goods for sale from customers with the aim of subsequent resale, taking into account a certain commission to the seller. This area of ​​activity is growing rapidly. Quality baby products are in high demand, especially with financial austerity in many young families.

The main amount of expenses falls on the rent of a small room, its repair and equipping with commercial equipment, furniture and stands. The project does not require the purchase of items in wholesale warehouses, but an important component is constant advertising to attract potential buyers and sellers.

It is better to open a store in a densely populated area, near grocery supermarkets or children's clinics. Small investments will require:

• colorful design of the facade;
• the content of the site or groups in social networks;
• staff salaries.

For such a project, economists consider a good profitability level of 12-15%. With a daily turnover of 15,000 rubles, the monthly net profit minus all expenses can be 30,000 rubles. Savings can be achieved by making such an enterprise a family business and not hiring outside employees.

Business Idea #11 – Opening Training Courses

The relevance of this idea lies in the fact that parents will not save on children even during an economic downturn. Private schools for learning foreign languages ​​or preparing children for the Unified State Examination may not be affordable for some parents during a crisis, but budgetary private courses (individual or as part of a small group) are quite real.

Estimated investments depend on the scale of the business. You can purchase all the necessary interactive learning tools and organize training courses at home or rent an office space by the hour. The rest of the costs will go to advertising: in the social. networks, bulletin boards, newspapers, etc.

Business Idea #12 - Farm Products

During the crisis, many products in large supermarkets rise in price. During this period, the sale of farm products directly from the farmer becomes especially relevant. Having received all the necessary documents, you can organize a stationary point in the market or a mobile sale: milk, eggs, cottage cheese, pork, beef, poultry meat, etc.

Initial costs will depend on the scale of the business organization. You may need to purchase a special milk tanker, rent a sales pavilion, or hire a salesperson and driver. In addition, you can develop an individual design for your company, including the cost of branded stickers on cars and products.

Business idea No. 13 - Shop "all at one price"

Estimated investments- 700,000 rubles.

It is worth noting that all the stores on the market in this area "rose" during the crisis. In pursuit of the best price, people are trying to save as much as possible by increasingly visiting stores with a fixed price. The assortment will depend on your preferences, ranging from inexpensive products to household items.

You can purchase a franchise or open a store on your own. In any case, the essence will be the same. The costs will go to:

• rental of premises;
• purchase of commercial equipment;
• the first batch of goods;
• hiring employees.

As in any business, do not forget about the good location of the outlet: a busy street, a walkable area.

As a supplier, you can consider the option of purchasing goods from China.

Business idea No. 14 - Manufacturing business or import substitution

Import substitution- a key moment in the organization of business during the economic downturn. In addition, the policy of the state is entirely directed in this direction. There are many grants and third-party investments in the organization of production in our country. For some, this may be new, but goods can be transported not only from China, but also to China! Many foodstuffs there have a high price, and if you properly organize the delivery, but you can talk about a promising business.

In addition, during a crisis, imported products rise in price due to currency fluctuations. In this regard, the demand for domestic goods with stable acceptable prices is increasing. This is the basis for organizing a manufacturing business.

This may also include agricultural products(honey, nuts, meat, milk, cheeses, etc.), textile production, conservation(fish, cereals, vegetables, etc.), fresh vegetables and fruits and much more.

Business idea number 15 - Beauty salon at home

Estimated investments - 30 000.

The popularization of masters who will come to your home and prepare for important events has gained its relevance precisely in a crisis. Beauty salons do not reduce prices for their services, but private hairdressers, make-up artists, manicurists take much less money, besides, they do not have to share with the owner and pay rent.

All initial costs will go to the passage of special courses, the purchase of the necessary equipment and advertising. To prepare a portfolio, you can try your skills on close relatives, friends.

The most profitable business in Russia is in the area to which the soul of the entrepreneur lies. In other words, you need to do only what you love. However, this business must still be profitable and bring a certain income. Therefore, before determining the scope of activity where to organize a profitable business, you need to choose the most popular industries first of all.

Which business is considered profitable

In today's market, the most numerous are representatives of small and medium-sized businesses. After all, it is in them that any entity can begin to function quickly, independently and without significant investments.

The main criteria for the “profitability level” of a business are as follows:

• The rate of return on investment in the business. In this case, we are talking about the operating cycle. For example, from the acquisition of goods to the receipt of money (in fact) from its sale, a minimum period of time should be spent.
• Demand. A profitable business can only be carried out in an accessible target audience, potentially interested in certain services.
• The cost of materials and raw materials. Both profit and profit depend on it.
• Profitability. This indicator is closely related to the previous two. Thus, the profit will increase simultaneously with the volume of sales.
• Capital productivity. This indicator characterizes the efficiency of investments and their proportionality with the profit received.

Starting a profitable business is easy

When organizing their own business, it is advisable for a novice entrepreneur to be interested in the political and economic situation in the country. This is the only way to determine the most profitable business in Russia today. It is necessary for oneself to designate the main indicators for each desired type of activity, to monitor the expected results for them.

As the simplest example, the article considers the trade in basic necessities. This activity can be classified as a profitable small business. The analysis of its effectiveness was carried out according to the five criteria given above.

• The turnover rate is quite high. For example, a purchase was made in the store of bread and milk, which will be sold out within the next few days.
• Demand for the same bread, matches and soap will always be, regardless of whether there is an economic boom or crisis or war.
• Low cost of goods with a huge choice of suppliers, while the margin is set independently by the seller.
• A direct relationship, expressed as follows: large leads to high profits.
• High business efficiency due to good sales and demand inelasticity.

The following activities can be classified as a profitable business: beauty and entertainment industry, catering, wholesale trade, repair services, tourism and advertising business, installation and subsequent maintenance of equipment, Internet commerce, logistics, transportation and educational services.

Making a decision on a specific area of ​​activity

It is necessary to take into account the fact that, given some instability and the transitional state of the economic environment, it is not enough to identify the most profitable business in Russia, based only on standard economic parameters. It is also necessary to remember about bureaucratic and political obstacles, high competition and peculiarities of the mentality in some areas, as well as the low development of certain types of activities. Therefore, every aspiring entrepreneur needs to decide what he is ready to face in order to achieve effective work. There is no need to abandon those niches that may at first glance seem unpromising and clogged, but using special tools to organize the most profitable business in Russia.

The main types of successful business

• Advertising business. Many trade and understand that advertising is the engine of their activity. Despite the competition, there will always be demand. Advertising agencies make up a fairly large segment of the service delivery industry. At the same time, they continue to develop actively in the future. Therefore, advertising activities can be considered as a profitable business.
• Trade. Today it is quite difficult to break into the market with goods of daily consumption. However, there is an alternative to it - online stores. This is a very profitable business in Moscow, gradually gaining momentum.

Thanks to such a high percentage, businessmen receive income. This type of activity is profitable, despite insignificant investments at the initial stage.

Grocery stores and food outlets

The sale of food products can be put in second place. Despite the large number of such outlets in the capital, they are often located near residential buildings and therefore are quite in demand. At the initial stage, small financial resources are needed to pay for the rent of premises, the purchase of goods, the payment of salaries to employees and the costs associated with obtaining various trade permits.

Placing fast food tents can be considered as a profitable business when such tents are located, for example, on the forecourt. This is due to significant costs of renting or purchasing premises, which can be repaid due to the high turnover of the cost of services, due to the large number of visitors (departures).

Sale of medicines, perfumes and personal care products

This type of business is in third place in terms of profit. Opening at least one pharmacy in one of the central regions will give its organizer a significant income, which can be compared with the profit of several similar institutions, but in a residential area.

The profitability of the business of selling personal care products and perfumes is associated with the constant need for hygiene products for every person. The payback of this type of activity in Moscow is much higher than in other cities. The positive point is the relatively low costs associated with the purchase of products and the payment of rent for the premises.

Public ground transport services

The payback of this business is guaranteed due to the annual increase in tariff rates for travel. At the same time, the costs of paying taxes, paying salaries to employees, gasoline and servicing rolling stock often remain at the same level.

Medicine

And finally, in the last place in the list of profitable types of business is the provision of medical services. Among the advantages of this type of activity, the following can be distinguished: a small staff, a small rented premises and
