Starting your own business is a difficult, but very promising way to provide yourself and your family with a reliable and financially stable future. The advantages of business, although they exist along with considerable disadvantages, are still very attractive: this includes a certain social status, the absence of an upper salary limit, and the ability to independently direct the vector of future development.

To open a profitable business, you need to understand which business will be the most profitable now. Taking into account the current difficult economic situation, making the right choice is especially important. We will tell you further about which direction to move in. And to minimize risks financially, you can get.

One of the most profitable business directions in recent years is opening a coffee shop. Coffee is in high demand, especially good quality coffee. Many people love it, but do not have the opportunity to make themselves a cappuccino or latte in the morning or at lunchtime. That is why there is a profitable niche - mobile coffee shops.

The first mobile coffee shop was opened in America; in the UK, its equivalent was tricycles that could accommodate a small coffee machine. Among the CIS countries, Kyiv businessmen were the first to pick up the idea, and it quickly became popular.

The main advantage of a mobile coffee shop is the ability to move from place to place, each time ending up where the demand for the product will be higher. For example, during the holidays, profitable places are parks and main streets of the city, and on weekday mornings - places near the metro and public transport stops. In Moscow, such vans can often be found near the Moscow Ring Road - where there are especially long traffic jams. In general, wherever there are people who want to drink coffee, you can be on time, which you cannot do when opening an ordinary coffee shop.

Other business benefits:

  • Fewer permitting documents that need to be collected.
  • Lower (relative to a regular coffee shop) costs for launching a project.
  • The opportunity to take a closer look at different retail outlets and subsequently open a regular cafe in a place with high traffic.
  • Fast payback. The invested funds can be returned within a year or a year and a half.
  • Low competition. There are much fewer mobile coffee shops than high-traffic retail outlets, and regular cafes are only partially competitive - not everyone will find time to go there on the way to work.
  • Free advertising. If a regular coffee shop requires advertising in order for customers to enter it, then a coffee shop on wheels is an advertisement in itself (the aroma of a freshly brewed drink that emanates from your outlet and spreads throughout the street will attract enough customers).

Important: The key to the success of a coffee shop on wheels is a high quality product. The coffee should be really tasty, but not very expensive. Also, a lot will depend on the barista - he must be able to not only prepare a drink very quickly, but also create a friendly atmosphere. This is how your outlet will acquire regular customers.

There are several ways to open a mobile coffee shop:

  1. By purchasing a franchise, having received everything you need to start a business. Such a purchase will cost you from 500 thousand to 2 million rubles, in addition to which you will pay the franchisor a royalty on monthly profits. This will significantly delay the moment when your business pays off, but the risks will be lower, and you will be provided with everything for a successful start, including equipment and recommendations.
  2. Renting a mobile coffee shop. Another way is to build a business yourself, but rent a ready-made van that is fully equipped for a coffee shop. This is also a way to start a business quickly, but at first you will have to try to recoup the rental costs. They will amount to about 50-70 thousand rubles per month.
  3. Having bought a car and equipped it for a coffee shop yourself. This is the most difficult, but also the most rewarding path in the long run. It is best suited for those who already have experience in running a business. This method requires costs at the initial stage, but will give you the opportunity to work only for yourself in the future.

When organizing a mobile coffee shop yourself, you will need:

  • Register a business.
  • Buy a car and equip it with everything necessary in accordance with sanitary standards.
  • Think over the product range and purchase raw materials.
  • Select suitable points for trading.
  • Hire staff.

Documents that will need to be completed:

  • Trade permit. You can get it from the district administration.
  • Documents for the car. If you converted it yourself, you need to re-register the vehicle with the MREO.
  • Permission from the district SES.
  • Certificate for the coffee machine.

The cost of processing all documents will be about 25 thousand rubles.

Making florariums

An interesting and profitable business that you can open now is a workshop for making florariums. These handmade decorative jewelry are in demand both among interior designers and among ordinary buyers looking for a gift or interested in outlandish things.


A florarium is a small garden inside a glass vessel: a flask or a polyhedron. It looks very aesthetically pleasing and is one of the eco-friendly products that are in fashion now. At the same time, the cost of florariums is much lower than their retail price, which will quickly recoup the costs of setting up a business. In addition, competition in this niche is low - there are very few workshops specializing in the production of such products.

Important: the cost of producing one florarium is about 900 rubles, while the cost of the finished product at retail starts from 2000 rubles. With good organization of sales channels, already at the start you can earn monthly from 35 to 70 thousand rubles. With the expansion of production and an increase in staff, the amount will triple.

It must be taken into account that making florariums requires special knowledge and skills - not only working with various materials, but also caring for plants. You also need to have aesthetic taste and be familiar with the basics of composition in design, and even better, study floristry. Then you will have interesting and creative mini-gardens that will delight customers for many years.

Advice: if you are more of a businessman than a creative person, and do not like flowers and handicrafts, it is better to hire an experienced florist designer. Quality, durability and attractive appearance of products are the key to the success of this business.

It is not possible to register this business right away, but when you have built up a client base, it is best to open an individual entrepreneur. In this case, you will need to select the following OKVED codes:

  • 01.19.21 “Growing flowers in open and protected ground.”
  • 01.19.9 “Growing of other annual crops not included in other groups.”
  • 52.61.2 “Retail trade carried out through teleshopping and computer networks (electronic commerce, including the Internet).”

To organize a profitable business in the production of florariums, you will need a workshop. The more free space you have for growing flowers, the more florariums you can make. You will also need comfortable workspaces if you hire foremen and assistants.

The cost of starting production will be about 50 thousand rubles and will include costs for the following components:

  • Glass container.
  • Basis for planting (soil or hydrogel).
  • Charcoal.
  • Seeds and seedlings.
  • Drainage for soil.
  • Decorative elements.
  • Branding (logo, packaging).
  • Auxiliary tools for crop production.

As for plants for florariums, a prerequisite is that they be unpretentious. Most often used:

  • Succulents.
  • Cacti.
  • Orchids.
  • Mini ferns.

Children's consignment store

Opening a consignment store is a good business for a novice entrepreneur who does not have much start-up capital. And specializing in children's products is always a profitable business. You can sell clothes, toys and other goods: strollers, cribs.

Children grow very quickly, often simply not having time to wear out this or that thing. In addition, goods for children are quite expensive, especially high-quality and durable clothing. Not every parent can afford to buy a good children's overalls for 1500-2000 rubles, especially knowing that in a few months it will become too small for the child. That is why the resale of children's goods is a relevant and profitable business (especially during a crisis).

Advice: When starting a business, do not rush to rent a room, it is better to create an online store of children's consignment goods. This will reduce costs and not expose you to additional risks. In a few months, when the business gets going, you can think about opening a real store.

When choosing a premises, focus your attention on retail outlets located near metro stations or public transport stops. It is very important that you are easy to get to without having your own car.

As for the assortment, it is most profitable to sell goods in the following categories:

  • Shoes.
  • Cloth.
  • Kids toys.
  • Strollers.
  • Walkers.
  • Feeding tables.
  • Cribs.
  • Playpens.

Thrift stores accept items, concluding a contract. As a rule, the following conditions are stipulated:

  • Items must be clean and in good condition.
  • The store owner or staff, upon inspecting the item, reserves the right not to accept it for sale without explaining the reason.
  • The price of a used item should not be higher than 50% of the cost of a similar new product.
  • Money for sold goods is paid no earlier than three days after its purchase.
  • If the product is not sold within 20 days from the date of receipt in the store, the seller reserves the right to reduce the price by 20%.
  • If a product delivered for sale is damaged or lost, the entrepreneur bears full responsibility and must reimburse the consignor for 100% of its value.
  • If the product has not been sold within three months from the date of receipt, it is written off and the consignor must take it back.

Advice: In order to fill the store and increase the number of sales (especially in the first time after the launch), it is best to combine goods accepted for sale from consignors with goods purchased in the children's departments of second-hand stores.

As for store equipment, it can be found on the Internet, for example on Avito and Youla. You will also need to take care of advertising. High-quality promotion is the key to the success of your business. You can combine the work of a regular store and an online store, duplicating products in it, posting photos, giving descriptions and prices. It also doesn’t hurt to use social networks and advertise the store on forums for moms. Another method is leaflets, which are recommended to be left in playrooms, clinics, and distributed near children's playgrounds.

When starting out, you will need to invest at least 90 thousand rubles to open a store. This amount will include:

  • Costs for registration and business registration.
  • Renting premises.
  • Purchase of equipment and initial assortment.
  • Employees' salaries.
  • Advertising.
  • Monthly utility costs.

If we talk about profit, then from the sale of consignment goods you will receive 15-20%. Monthly income depends on the level of sales.

Dog training center

Creating a specialized center for training puppies and dogs is one of the ideas for or in the suburbs. Training is a popular activity, since not every dog ​​breeder has the opportunity to raise a four-legged friend on their own. In addition, not everyone has the necessary skills and patience for this.

To open such a business, you will need:

  • Register an individual entrepreneur or LLC.
  • Take out insurance that will cover possible damage and injuries that occur during training.
  • Rent a sufficiently spacious place to conduct classes.
  • Buy the equipment and equipment necessary for training.
  • Hire a trained trainer. In order to train dogs independently, a specialist must have education and work experience of about 3-4 years, and also undergo a year’s training in the Russian Canine Federation, if the main education was received abroad.

The cost of starting a business is 250–700 thousand rubles.

Advice: If you own or rent a large enough plot of land, you can increase your income while doing business at the same time.

There are various areas of training that your center can offer to clients:

  • general training;
  • protective guard service (security, search, detention);
  • search service (search of the area, search by smell);
  • search and rescue work;
  • social work (guide dog, rescue dog).

With a good organization, an excellent reputation and an experienced team of trainers, you can enter into contracts with various security companies or social companies for dog training. You can also prepare animals for sports competitions.

The territory for the training center must meet certain requirements:

  • Area - at least 50 square meters.
  • High fencing - about 2-3 meters.
  • Availability of training structures.
  • Covered area for storing equipment.

Main inventory:

  • Stairs - 45,000 rubles.
  • Springboards - 20,000 rubles.
  • Single barrier - 8,000 rubles.
  • Triple barrier - 20,000 rubles.
  • Inclined slide - 21,000 rubles.
  • Balancer - 9,000 rubles.
  • Labyrinth - 19,000 rubles.
  • Fabric flags - 700 rubles.
  • Boom - 19,000 rubles.

You will also need equipment for the trainer:

  • Training sleeves - 1,500 rubles.
  • Import items - 1,000 rubles.
  • Protective suit - 10,000 rubles.
  • Leashes, harnesses, chewers, grips - 3,000 rubles.

Advice: Some of the equipment can be made independently, some can be ordered from small companies or second-hand goods stores (this will be much cheaper than purchasing everything you need in specialized centers).

As for the cost of dog training services, the approximate price range will be as follows:

  • Puppy training - 1,500 rubles per lesson.
  • Course “Controlled city dog” - 1,500 rubles per lesson.
  • Course “Protective Guard Service” - 1,800 rubles per lesson.
  • Course “Bodyguard or security guard” - 1,800 rubles per lesson.
  • Behavior correction - 1,800 rubles per lesson.
  • Group lessons - 500 rubles per lesson.

On average, courses include 10 lessons.

Important: Keep in mind that dog training is a seasonal business. There will also be customers in the winter, but most orders come in spring, summer and autumn.

  • veterinary clinics and private offices;
  • pet stores;
  • animal shelters;
  • beauty salons for dogs.

If we talk about the return on business, then in cities with a population above 300,000 inhabitants this will take 5-6 months. In smaller settlements this period may increase to a year or two.

Advice: if you have a large enough territory, combine such a business with.

Organization of internal tours

A medium-sized machine is capable of producing about 900 thousand bags per month, and its maintenance will require 2-3 operators. As for the sale of finished products, they can be sold both wholesale and retail. At the same time, wholesale sales are less profitable - the price for one product will be about 3 rubles. When selling at retail, the cost of the package will be higher, but you will also have to spend more time selling the product in this way. The most convenient way to do this is through an online store.

Such a business will bring its owner about 150 thousand rubles monthly.

Opening a yoga studio

A healthy lifestyle is now in fashion, and in addition to the already familiar gyms and fitness classes, yoga studios are also opening.

As a business, they have several advantages over similar areas of activity:

  • Nowadays yoga is just gaining momentum, so there are still few studios of this kind. The competition is at an average level, and, of course, it is much lower than that of fitness gyms. Network “giants” have not yet appeared in this sector, and it is difficult for a start-up business to compete with them.
  • A yoga studio requires much less equipment than a fitness center or gym. This significantly reduces the cost of starting a business.

The location you choose will be decisive. Since yoga classes involve relaxation and meditation, the room should be spacious and bright. It is important that there is enough fresh air. For this reason, it is better not to rent semi-basements: no matter how good a ventilation system you install, it will still not be enough.

The studio area should be about 20-30 meters - such a room can comfortably accommodate 10-15 people. At least one wall should be equipped with large mirrors. There should also be rooms that can be used as changing rooms. A good bathroom and heating are a must.

From your inventory you will need:

  • A stereo system or record player is something you can play music on while you study.
  • Water cooler.
  • Rugs - it is important to buy special good quality mats, for example with a rubber coating, so that your hands and feet will not slip. They are more expensive than usual, but will also last longer.
  • Aerobics balls are not necessary, but it is highly advisable to have them among your equipment, especially if you are planning to launch a yoga class for pregnant women.
  • Belts.
  • Blocks.
  • Rollers (bolsters).
  • Blankets.
  • Corners for stretching exercises.
  • Ropes for deflections.
  • Meditation pillows.
  • Slippers for studio guests.
  • Incense sticks or candles to create a relaxing atmosphere.

It is also very important to choose good staff. Namely:

  • A friendly and pleasant administrator who will communicate with guests, sign them up for classes, and handle financial transactions.
  • A qualified instructor who has not only education, but also 3 years of experience.
  • Instructors in children's yoga and yoga for pregnant women - such classes can only be taught by a trained specialist, since there are many nuances and subtleties in such areas.

In addition to good organization, such a place will also need advertising to attract customers. The smartest thing to do is to take advantage of the power of social networks and hire an SMM manager to administer them.

Advice: In order to earn additional income, a yoga studio can become a venue for trainings, lectures and seminars.

To organize a studio, you will need to register an individual entrepreneur or LLC. In general, opening such a business will cost about 200-300 thousand rubles. The business will pay off on average in a year and a half.

Car wash

Another way to start a profitable business now is to open a car wash. Such activities require considerable investments at the initial stage, but they will never lose their relevance: there are more and more car owners every year - many families have two, sometimes even three cars.

Weather conditions, not well-paved roads everywhere, high levels of air pollution in megacities and even in medium-sized cities - all lead to the fact that you have to wash your car often. Typically, car owners simply do not have enough time to do this themselves. Therefore, opening a car wash is a profitable business.

Important: The presence of competitors and the liveliness of the area in which you open a car wash will play a decisive role in the success of this activity.

When starting a business, you will have to invest about 3 million rubles, which will go towards:

  • Construction of washing boxes - about 2.5 million rubles.
  • Purchase of equipment - about 300 thousand rubles.
  • Detergents - about 20 thousand rubles monthly.
  • Employees' wages and utility bills.

Advice: To reduce costs, start by opening a portable car wash, and then, once you have an established customer base, expand to a stationary one.

As for the necessary documentation, to start such a business you will need to send a written request to the city administration. To build a building for a car wash, you will need to create a project and coordinate it with municipal architects. In addition, you will have to obtain permits from the fire and sanitary epidemiological authorities, as well as from the environmental service. Agreements must also be concluded with resource supply organizations, in particular with the city water and wastewater services.

Also you can car wash. Popular, for example:

  • "LuxCarwash".
  • "Fast and Shine"
  • "Mobile car wash"

Such a business usually pays off within the first year, in some cases - after 1-2 years.

Studio

Another way to organize a profitable business is to open a repair and tailoring studio. This line of activity will be relevant in any locality, since clothes often require repairs, and few people know how to sew at a sufficient level to repair them themselves. While anyone can sew a button, not everyone can handle replacing a faulty zipper. Not to mention hemming trousers, embroidering a skirt or adjusting a suit.

The cost of services provided by the studio directly depends on the region and the average level of income of the population, as well as on the range of services provided. For example, a small studio in central Russia, specializing mainly in minor clothing repairs, will do the work much cheaper than a large studio in Moscow, which mainly deals with tailoring.

As for how to start a profitable business by opening a studio, first of all you need to choose a suitable place. A lot depends on a good location, especially if you are organizing an atelier in a large residential area. In this case, it is desirable that there are no competitors nearby, and prices remain at an average level.

To open a small studio, you will need to invest about 350-400 thousand rubles. To start you need:

  • Rent a room - 30-40 thousand rubles per month.
  • Purchase equipment - 250-300 thousand rubles.
  • Purchase consumables - 5 thousand rubles.
  • Hire tailors - 30-60 thousand rubles per month.
  • Organize an advertising campaign - 5-10 thousand rubles.

The average bill for clothing repair services is about 250 rubles. With a good flow of clients (10-15 people per day), a small studio will bring in approximately 60-70 thousand rubles per month. The business will pay off within 2-3 years.

Advice: To begin with, specialize in clothing repair. Only when the studio becomes more popular and regular customers appear, move on to individual tailoring.

At the initial stages you will need the following equipment:

  • Professional sewing machines (preferably Japanese-made).
  • Ironing board and iron.
  • Overlock.
  • Comfortable furniture - tables and chairs.
  • Nice table lamps.
  • Additional tools: patterns, scissors, rulers, needles, threads, pins, thimbles, crayons, centimeters.

Segway rental services

Another type of business that will be profitable to start is organizing rental services. The advantages of such activity are the opportunity to choose a niche that is relevant right now.

We will tell you how to make money on a fashion trend - by renting out Segways (a popular means of transportation, which is an electric scooter consisting of a platform and parallel wheels). Thanks to its design, the Segway maintains its balance well, even when a person is standing on it. Therefore, movement is carried out by tilting the body: forward - gas, back - brake. The Segway does not have any other devices such as a steering wheel or control knob.

Such control instructions sound, to put it mildly, implausible, because few people are used to driving without a steering wheel or pedals. But in practice, a person usually only needs a couple of minutes to get comfortable and start riding. But such know-how looks quite unusual. A man on a Segway invariably attracts the attention of passers-by.

Because of such high popularity, many people want to try to ride this unusual vehicle, but few people want to buy it right away. Therefore, Segway rental is now a very relevant business. So, what will be needed to organize such an activity?

First of all, of course, you need to purchase the Segways themselves. New devices in Russia cost about 400 thousand rubles, used ones - 200-300 thousand. The purchase of Segways is the most significant expense item. You will also need other components - helmets, protection.

As a place for rental, you can choose either a stationary point, such as a garage, or a non-stationary one: place a rental stand in a park, shopping center, on the embankment, near major attractions in your city. You will also need an instructor - at first it can be you yourself.

To work, you will need to open an individual entrepreneur or LLC. Keep in mind that Segway rental is a seasonal business. In winter they can also ride, but there will be much fewer people willing to ride. It makes sense to combine such rental, for example, with the rental of snow removal equipment.

As for the prices and your earnings from such a business, the average cost of 5 minutes of Segway rental is 200-300 rubles. During this time the client will travel about 500 meters. The battery charge will be enough for about 60 such trips per day, that is, you will get about 15,000 rubles in profit per day.

You can also rent out Segways for a few hours or daily. Average prices in Russia:

  • 1 hour - about 3,000 rubles.
  • 1 day - about 10,000 rubles.

Photo studio

Since photography is very popular, photo studios with good equipment are in great demand. To open a studio, you don’t have to be a professional photographer - it can become a profitable business for a simple entrepreneur.

This industry is quite competitive, and you will also need a considerable initial investment to purchase good equipment. However, with the right approach and good advertising, the studio will become a profitable business generating high income.

Important: The difference between a photo studio and a regular photo salon lies not only in the quality of the available equipment, but also in the professionalism of the photographers. Photography studio workers must have a wide range of skills not only in photography or shooting, but also in high-quality retouching using, for example, programs such as Lightroom and Photoshop. Photo salon employees have a narrow range of skills that allow them to cope with everyday work, but do not require a creative and individual approach to each client.

To open a photo studio, you need to register an individual entrepreneur or LLC, and also decide on the leading direction of your business. There are different studios:

  • Minimalistic- rooms with all the necessary equipment and several multi-colored background walls.
  • Interior- facilities that provide photographers with beautifully furnished rooms in different styles (except for equipment).
  • Diverse- large rooms where, in addition to diverse interiors, you can also conduct unusual shootings. For example, aqua studios that work with water, where even underwater photography is possible.

The cost of creating such a business will depend on your choice. Next, we will look at the simplest version of a minimalist photo studio, which is most suitable for beginners.

The key to the success of your studio will be the premises. It should be:

  • Close to the city center.
  • An area of ​​at least 50-60 square meters.
  • With a ceiling height of 3 meters or more - this is necessary for placing equipment.
  • Comfortable - it is necessary to have a waiting room, as well as a dressing room and dressing room where clients can prepare for the shoot.
  • With large windows. This will allow photographers to realize more ideas - both with natural and electric lighting. It is especially important to have daylight in the dressing room - this makes it easier for makeup artists to apply makeup.
  • With good ventilation and heating.
  • With excellent wiring (it will have to withstand a lot of load when all the devices are turned on).

Another key to success is equipment. The studio should have everything you need. Namely:

  • Four to five light sources.
  • Softboxes, curtains, umbrellas for light, umbrellas for reflection, honeycomb attachments for reflectors and softboxes, beauty dish, classic reflectors.
  • Light stands, holders, tripods.
  • Professional SLR camera and set of lenses.
  • Flash meter.
  • Backgrounds (at least four paper backgrounds of different colors) and fastenings for them.
  • Synchronizers for flashes.
  • Additional props, interior items.
  • Large mirror in the dressing room.
  • Screen, dressing table, comfortable chairs.
  • A powerful computer with the necessary software for a photographer’s work.

The photographers you hire will also play an important role. At first, you can get by with just one versatile professional. But when there are more orders, it’s good to have several photographers on staff who specialize in different genres of photography: artistic, portrait, wedding, family, children.

As for the costs of opening such a business, on average you will need about 800-900 thousand rubles. You will need to invest:

  • For the renovation of the premises - about 100-150 thousand.
  • For the purchase of equipment and furniture - about 300 thousand.
  • For paperwork - about 30 thousand.
  • For renting the premises - approximately 50 thousand per month.
  • For wages - about 50 thousand per month.
  • For advertising - about 10-20 thousand.

The average income of a photo studio with the right location and good advertising is about 500-700 thousand rubles per year. The payback period for such a business is from one to one and a half years.

home brewery

Another profitable business that you can open right now without worrying about whether it will be in demand is a home brewery. Given the high prices for alcoholic beverages, homemade beer will be in demand among the population.

The initial costs of registration, purchase of equipment and its installation are quite high, but they quickly pay for themselves, since the cost of production is significantly lower than even the most reasonable price when selling it at retail. Thus, the cost of producing one glass of home-made beer is 15 rubles, while the cost when sold is from 70 rubles.

To open such a business, you will need about 3 million rubles. Most of this amount will be spent on the purchase of micro- or mini-breweries. One micro-brewery will cost from 300 thousand, and a mini-brewery - on average from 500 thousand rubles. They can produce about 200-300 liters of beer per day. You can buy used equipment, but it is better to choose new one.

Important: Full-cycle breweries are not suitable as projects for small businesses. You should not approach such a large-scale production if you have less than 6 million rubles on hand.

In addition, you will need to purchase other equipment:

  • Tanks for post-fermentation.
  • Fermentation container.
  • Cooling chamber.
  • Filters for water.
  • Scales.
  • Bath for sterilizing composition.
  • Syrup boiler.
  • Ice maker.
  • Heat exchanger.
  • Yeast cooler.

For a home micro- and mini-brewery, you will also need a room of about 40 square meters. It must comply with fire safety standards and be heated. The cost of repairing and finishing the premises will amount to 150-200 thousand rubles. You will also need to purchase raw materials for brewing beer. As a rule, special mixtures for microbreweries are used. They are based on malt concentrate and various additives.

Beer mixtures from the following manufacturers have a good reputation:

  • "Mr. Beer."
  • BeerMachine.
  • Coopers.

As for setting up such a business, you will need:

  • Register an individual entrepreneur or LLC.
  • Obtain permission to produce and sell beer.
  • Obtain a hygiene certificate and a certificate of conformity.
  • Obtain permits from the fire inspectorate and sanitary and epidemiological station.

Important: To increase sales, also sell related products - seeds, nuts, fish and chips for beer, cigarettes, etc.

Hookah bar

With the introduction of a ban on smoking tobacco products in restaurants and cafes in Russia in 2014, specialized smoking establishments - hookah lounges - began to gain popularity. Now they have reached the peak of popularity - hookah bars can be found literally on every corner. How to organize such a business, how much money should be invested in it?

The first thing to remember is that without a special license to sell tobacco products, you do not have the right to sell hookahs using real tobacco. You can use legal smoking mixtures instead, but you are unlikely to attract customers this way.

Important: It is also not recommended to be cunning and sell tobacco products under the guise of harmless mixtures - it will be very easy to expose you to clean water, and fines for this in Russia are in the region of 300 thousand rubles.

To organize a hookah bar you will need to complete the following documents:

  • Register an individual entrepreneur or LLC.
  • Obtain permission from the fire department.
  • Obtain permission from the SES.
  • Obtain a license to sell tobacco products.

Important: try to adhere to the stated profile of the establishment. You can sell drinks and sandwiches, but opening a kitchen or selling alcohol will automatically transform your establishment into a cafe or bar - with all the corresponding requirements and consequences.

As for premises for a hookah bar, it is important to choose a place with a convenient location: in the city center, near public transport stops. In addition, make sure that there are no competitors nearby - they can greatly interfere with business development. But the proximity to other establishments will only benefit you: if there are cafes, bars, clubs nearby, their clientele can become yours - just place an attention-grabbing sign.

Important: According to the law, a hookah bar cannot be located in a residential building, and it must also be located at a distance from kindergartens, schools and other educational institutions (fines for such violations range from 60 thousand to 90 thousand rubles).

The selected room should be equipped with good ventilation. In addition, the place must be appropriate from a fire safety point of view: try not to decorate its interior with flammable materials, and keep a sufficient number of fire extinguishers in case of an emergency.

As for furniture, it’s definitely worth stopping at soft sofas or ottomans-cushions, as well as low tables. Of the basic equipment and materials you will need:

  • Hookahs.
  • Coal and tobacco stock.
  • Replaceable bowls and tubes.
  • Spare flasks.
  • Coal burners.
  • Brush for flasks.
  • Stock of disposable mouthpieces.
  • Tongs and foil.

You also need to hire a good hookah man - he will be the one who will communicate with the guests, telling them about the assortment. It is important that he is not only a master of his craft, but an easy and pleasant person to talk to.

If we talk about the total amount that will be needed to open such a business, it will be about 500-600 thousand rubles:

  • Registration of permitting documents and business registration - about 10 thousand.
  • Rent of premises for a hookah bar - 40-50 thousand.
  • Salary to employees is about 50 thousand with two employees, 75 thousand with three.
  • Purchase of equipment - 50 thousand rubles.
  • Buying furniture - from 50 to 100 thousand.
  • Repair and design - about 50-100 thousand.
  • The supply of tobacco and coal is 20 thousand.

This kind of business pays off quite quickly, it takes an average of a year and a half.

Events agency

Organizing holidays is a popular activity, regardless of the region and time of year. Opening such a business will be profitable even now: with proper organization and a good advertising campaign, you can quickly acquire a wide client base, and therefore a stable income.

Many people love holidays, but not everyone has organizational talent, and some simply do not have enough time to think through all the details of the celebration. This is why agencies that deal with this are very popular.

Clients ordering a holiday are usually divided into two types:

  • Individuals who want to organize a home celebration - to celebrate a relative's anniversary, a wedding or wedding anniversary, a children's party.
  • Legal entities who need to organize a corporate event for the New Year, company anniversary, Defender of the Fatherland Day or International Women's Day.

In order to open a profitable business organizing holidays, you need:

  • Register an individual entrepreneur or LLC.
  • Rent an office for business negotiations (at first you can do without it).
  • Hire employees. Their number will depend on the range of services provided by the agency. Usually these are toastmasters, animators for children's parties, musicians, photographers, as well as assistants who decorate the premises, create menus and organize purchases.
  • Purchase equipment and props. This will include costumes, makeup, musical instruments, sound amplifiers, and speakers.
  • Launch an advertising campaign. The most convenient way to do this is through the Internet - create a website, maintain social networks.

Important: The agency organizing the events must have a car, ideally a small van, to transport both props and equipment.

The costs of opening such a business will average 500 thousand rubles, namely:

  • Registration of documents – from 30 thousand rubles.
  • Rent of premises – from 30 thousand rubles per month.
  • Staff remuneration starts from 150 thousand rubles monthly.
  • Purchase of equipment – ​​from 300 thousand rubles.
  • Advertising – from 40 thousand rubles.

But the payback for such a business is good - from six months to a year. With a constant flow of clients (especially with orders for large corporate events), an agency for organizing holidays can earn up to 700 thousand rubles per month.

Outsourcing company

Creating an outsourcing company is probably one of the most profitable lines of business during a crisis.

The deteriorating economic situation in the country leads to two large-scale trends:

  • Massive layoffs of workers in many organizations - both large and small. Good specialists and experienced professionals who are forced to look for new jobs are being laid off.
  • Due to layoffs, the services of “coming” specialists are becoming more in demand, since the volume of work is not decreasing, and there is no one to do it.

Outsourcing companies are organizations that provide services of various specialists - both on a one-time and on an ongoing basis. This is beneficial for clients, since hiring an employee when the need arises is much cheaper than keeping him on staff and paying him a salary constantly.

The services of specialists in the following areas are especially popular:

  • Operators.
  • Managers.
  • Accountants.
  • Lawyers.
  • Personnel officers.
  • IT developers.
  • Marketers.
  • Security guards.
  • Sales personnel (cashiers, merchandisers).
  • Service personnel (cleaning ladies, waiters).

For an outsourcing company, its reputation in the market is important, since clients, when hiring staff from outside, are especially concerned about the safety of their company. For a business to be successful, you need:

  • Pay close attention to your staff. These should be not only professionals who provide high-quality services, but also responsible people who can be trusted.
  • Rent and arrange an office. The place where you meet with clients to discuss all the terms and conclude an agreement is the face of your company. The office should be spacious, comfortable and well furnished; having a secretary is a plus. All this will give clients the feeling that you are a reliable and trustworthy company.
  • Competently draw up a contract for the provision of services. In particular, it must detail the responsibilities of both parties, as well as the obligation to maintain confidential information that may be obtained by an employee of the outsourcing company during work. This point is especially important for the provision of services in the financial and legal fields.

To open an outsourcing company, you will need:

  • Register an LLC (in this case, an individual entrepreneur will not play into your hands).
  • Rent a room.
  • Purchase furniture and equipment for the office (including the software necessary for work).
  • Hire staff.
  • Launch an advertising campaign and create a website.

At the first stage, you will need to invest about 150-200 thousand rubles in the business. As for the payback, it will average from six months to a year.

Let's sum it up

Thus, it is possible to open a profitable business now, even despite the crisis, sanctions and an unfavorable forecast for exchange rates. There are many opportunities across a variety of industries.

Don't be afraid of difficulties! All you need is to choose the right direction and invest - both financially and physically. This approach does not guarantee success, but it significantly increases your chances of organizing a truly profitable business.

What are the benefits of trading in a small town? What is the best business to run at home? How to open your own business with minimal investment?

Working for yourself is like growing up. Anyone who wants to gain independence sooner or later leaves their home - leaves the hired service and begins to work exclusively for themselves.

Good, The choice of areas for personal business is unlimited. The only problem is to find the type of activity that will truly reveal your talents and abilities to the fullest.

Denis Kuderin is with you, an expert on the HeatherBober portal on economic and financial issues. In a new article I will tell you what business to start to earn a lot and consistently, what business ideas are most promising today and now, and what is more profitable - a YouTube channel or a home photo studio.

Don’t switch – you will learn a lot of interesting things.

1. Business with minimal investment - let’s stop work and let's begin earn

There is an opinion that you need to be born a successful businessman. They say that this requires a special mindset, extraordinary abilities and a specific character. Millions of people believe that entrepreneurship is not for them. That they won’t be able to work for themselves. That their business will fail. That they don’t know how to count money, etc.

Of course, we are born with different abilities and inclinations, there is no doubt about that.

However, I personally prefer this point of view: every person from birth is an entrepreneur. When he is born, he already has a ready-made company - himself. It depends only on you whether this company will become successful. You are the manager of this company, its general director and the owner of a controlling stake.

Thousands of people are working for themselves right now. They do not expect a salary from the employer, are not afraid of dismissal, and set their own working hours.

This does not mean that their life is complete euphoria. There are enough problems in the life of a businessman. Perhaps there are even more of them than an employee. But all the disadvantages of “free swimming” are outweighed by a big plus - you become the master of your life and your time, set your own goals and determine your priorities.

And a few more advantages:

  • a huge selection of areas for commercial activity– if you want, teach everyone how to paint in your own studio, if you want, make soap in the garage;
  • the amount of income is unlimited– you set the upper limit yourself in accordance with your ambitions and goals;
  • free schedule, vacation not when allowed, but when wanted– you independently manage your main asset – time;
  • you are not tied to a workplace– work wherever you want: at home, in the garage, in an Internet cafe, on a personal plot;
  • you set the rules yourself– no one obliges you to follow strict regulations and schedules.

If you fail to achieve results in one area of ​​business, you always have the right to change the direction of activity to the diametrically opposite one. If your online business is not working out, get involved in purely earthly technologies - open a shawarma shop or start a business.

I have a friend who dealt successively with: animal feed, video equipment, Indian gems and jewelry (he brought it from India himself), equipment for private (home) cinemas, commercial real estate, and information products.

Not to say that he failed in every type of activity - on the contrary, reaching a certain level, he realized that he was losing interest in the chosen topic, and saw broader prospects in another area.

But do not confuse freedom with sloppiness, indifference and projectism. A naturally lazy and undisciplined person is unlikely to achieve serious success in business. The money will not be transferred to your account on its own– simply because you declared yourself an entrepreneur.

You will definitely have to work hard and persistently. Perhaps even more than in the office or production. You will need self-control, self-confidence, the ability to calculate options and make decisions on your own.

Being an entrepreneur means working hard and being a multitasker.

Is it necessary to have initial capital? It all depends on the type of activity you plan to engage in. If you open an online store, you will have to purchase goods and launch a website. And this requires money.

Similarly with production - consumables and equipment require investment. But there are different options - leasing, renting, finding investors.

But if you sell exclusively intellectual services, then capital is not required. You'll only have to waste your time. But time doesn’t pay off right away. It is necessary to acquire clients, develop skills, and ideally undergo training.

Give up the hope that a couple of weeks or even months after launching a business, gold coins will start pouring into your wallet. Business, especially small business, requires patience and hard work. Everything will happen, but not right away - remember this phrase!

And for those who need a reliable and proven option with a guarantee of profitability, we offer to invest money in a ready-made business - purchase a franchise from the company. The co-owner of a chain of restaurants serving Japanese and Pan-Asian cuisine is Alex Yanovsky, an entrepreneur with 20 years of experience, the owner of his own School “Business Behind Glass”.

The founders of HeatherBeaver magazine know Alex personally - his business schemes really work and generate income.

Moreover, our good friend Sergei opened a business under this franchise in the city of Maykop - he launched a point in the “island” format. His investment of 1.5 million rubles paid off within six months. So we can confidently recommend his franchise to both beginners and experienced businessmen.

2. 5 popular areas in business

In fact, there are more directions, but these five are proven and well-trodden paths along which thousands of aspiring businessmen like you are successfully and confidently walking right now.

Let's look at all the pros and features the most popular areas of small and medium-sized businesses.

1) Resale of goods

The most accessible type of business.

Its principle is simple and has not changed since ancient times: buy goods in bulk in one place at a low price and resell them in another at a higher cost.

Stable income comes from those goods that everyone needs - food, clothing, shoes, household chemicals, cosmetics. The consumer goods market has billions of dollars in turnover and the same profits.

Another thing is that large corporations take the lion's share. Beginners are left to look for narrow niches and maneuver between mass-market products and exclusive goods.

When choosing the profile of your company, focus not only on demand, but also on the state of the economy. For example, during a crisis, most people have no time for luxury - Swiss fountain pens with a platinum nib are unlikely to be sold quickly and profitably in a small town, where the average salary is half the cost of this very fountain pen.

In such populated areas it is worth choosing a more popular product– for example, open a stock store with inexpensive branded clothing. Or a smartphone store - analogues of well-known companies, but originally from the People's Republic of China.

Small towns, on the one hand, offer excellent prospects, but on the other hand, they are unpredictable in terms of business development.

The table will outline the situation with trade in small towns more clearly:

The universal salvation for any modern trade is the Internet. Here the audience is not limited geographically. Live in Torzhok, and send goods to either Moscow or Nizhny Novgorod.

2) Provision of services

You don't have to sell material things. Professional services are no less in demand than clothing or food.

There are many examples:

  • accounting services;
  • printing center;
  • Interior design;
  • writing texts to order;
  • organization of banquets;
  • creation and promotion of websites;
  • Internet Marketing;
  • Pizza delivery;
  • repair of bicycles or household appliances;
  • writing term papers, etc.

Any matter that you understand or want to understand is suitable. The modern world is differentiated and belongs to narrow specialists. Family lawyer, tutor, commercial writer and other specialties are no longer a curiosity and are constantly required.

3) Production

More and more small enterprises are opening in the Russian Federation: in conditions of crisis and sanctions, domestic producers entered new markets.

Are in stable demand natural food. If you focus on quality, then even the relative high cost of production will pay off due to a higher price. The modern consumer is ready to overpay for healthy and environmentally friendly products.

You will find more details about production activities in the article “”.

4) Real estate transactions

An option for those who have substantial starting capital. The real estate market, despite gloomy forecasts, continues to bring profits to owners of liquid housing. Earnings from rentals, sales and other operations with residential and non-residential premises are traditionally high.

5) Business on the Internet

The most promising modern direction. And the least expensive if you sell not a product via the Internet, but your skills or services.

But first, you need to master at least one of the most popular professions - website designer, SEO promotion specialist, copywriter, social network administrator. Or make money on your website, affiliate programs.

It's not as difficult as it seems - the main thing is not to be lazy and not stay too long in the status of a beginner. If you want to succeed, read the large article on our website, which is called “”.

3. What kind of business can you start - TOP 10 ideas for a beginning businessman

Let's get down to specifics.

Ten promising ideas for beginners with minimal experience.

1) Homemade soap making

The first private soap makers of our time made soap right in their apartments. Some people still do this, but it is better to have a separate room for these purposes.

I have a friend who lives in Chisinau. Katerina started making handmade soap 7 years ago. The first experiments - multi-colored ellipses of soap with herbal scents, which she sent me as product samples - cost her too much. In addition, in Moldova the demand for this product was almost zero.

She gradually improved the technology, accumulated a customer base and now has a full-fledged online store, where, in addition to designer soap, there are a lot of other exclusive and natural products. The high price does not bother buyers from Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities. They care about quality, original execution and purely natural ingredients.

2) Tutoring

If you are fluent in foreign languages, a six-string guitar, school subjects, and other useful skills and knowledge, no one will forbid you share your experience with others for money.

Thanks to Skype you can teach people all over the world

3) Management of corporate events and holidays

An idea for people with organizational and public speaking skills. Creative thinking, self-confidence and a little courage, and you will become the soul of any audience.

The ingredients for success are as follows: constant practice, original scripts, competent room design, and a constantly changing repertoire.

4) Equipment repair

If you were born with a screwdriver in your hands, clearly understand how household appliances work, and understand electronics, why not turn your skills into a source of income?

Modern technology has a low safety margin. Most people are better off getting their washing machine repaired than buying a new one. Meanwhile, repairing one “washing machine” costs from 2 to 5 thousand rubles . Several orders a day, and the income is enough not only for bread and butter, but also for an annual vacation to Bali.

Minimum costs – tools, diagnostic equipment, spare parts. If you have a garage, then the problem of renting a room disappears. Large equipment can be repaired at the customer's home.

5) Food delivery

In Novosibirsk, where I live, you can order anything to your home or office, from hot corn to a full meal from a Chinese restaurant.

Such a business requires investments - renting premises and transport, purchasing raw materials, paying employees. Permits from sanitary services are needed: the premises must have ventilation, all necessary communications, and employees must have sanitary records.

6) Transportation of goods

Are you the owner of a truck? Engage in the transportation of large-sized cargo. You don't even have to buy a car - rent or lease it.

You will need 2-3 responsible workers, and not people from the street, but experienced riggers who know how to properly transport furniture and household appliances, how to pack fragile cargo, how to lower a piano from the third floor.

7) Video channel on YouTube

The YouTube channel's audience is more than a billion viewers. This is every third Internet user on the planet. Promoted TV channels bring their owners millions in profits. Some of the presenters are not even 15 years old.

The ingredients for success are as follows:

  • popular destination– video games, beauty blog, TOPs and lists, entertainment;
  • signature feature– original image, unique format;
  • competent promotion– use professional techniques.

Most Internet users are young people raised on gadgets. They prefer to see it once rather than read a long text, which is why video blogs are so popular.

A little educational program from popular YouTube video bloggers:

8) Home photo studio

You will learn how to take satisfactory pictures in a couple of weeks. You will need professional photography equipment and equipment for printing photos. And then work in the format that you prefer - photo for documents, wedding photography and videography, prom albums, image processing and photomontage.

Just six months after the start of her career, she was invited to major city events as an official photo-chronicler. I don’t know why, but clients like her photographs even more than photographs of experienced professionals.

9) Growing vegetables and fruits in a greenhouse

An idea for those who are interested in gardening and gardening. One greenhouse will give you several harvests a year, and people need fruits, herbs, vegetables and flowers every day.

Before buying a greenhouse and seedlings, take care of the product market, study the competitive environment, price, read specialized literature and thematic sites.

A greenhouse is an excellent tool for your own business

Additional income: canning, processing and freezing vegetables, selling seedlings and seeds.

But this is a long-term business for the patient and smart. If you want, read the special publication.

10) Seasonal storage of tires, skis, bicycles

Income close to passive. Very nice idea. You just need to prepare the room: an empty garage is best suited for these purposes. Install shelves, insulate the room, install a security system. In summer, store winter tires, sleds, skis, snowboards here, in winter - bicycles, scooters, summer tires, etc.

TOP 7 profitable business ideas

Business ideas that make a profit, or ideas that no one believed in? Brave Russian entrepreneurs have mastered unoccupied niches (joint purchasing, ice cream parlors, quests) and were right on target!

 

According to the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, the share of small businesses in the country’s GDP should increase to 30% by 2020. SMEs in total will account for at least half of the gross domestic product. Such forecasts are not unfounded: every year more and more successful business ideas for small businesses appear, which are implemented by entrepreneurs not only in various Russian regions. The most original and profitable ideas of entrepreneurs will be discussed in this article!

Not by bread alone...

  • Idea: sturgeon farm
  • Entrepreneur: Victor Kozemsky
  • Region: Belgorod region
  • Description: In 2014, in the Gayvoronsky district of the Belgorod region, the construction of a farm for growing sturgeon fish in recirculating water supply (RAS) systems began. The enterprise was named “Belosetr” and, according to the creator, was designed to produce up to 0.5 tons of caviar annually, starting in 2017.

Previously, Kozemsky was engaged in fish farming in Donetsk, after which he decided to launch a unique project for Russia - a fully automated sturgeon farm. Kozemsky and his colleagues have been developing equipment for keeping and feeding sturgeon for over 10 years, using their own developments.

At the moment, the plant has more than 7 tons of brood fish stock at its disposal. The company also has a workshop for growing fry, that is, the implementation of the second stage of a large-scale project has now begun. At the end of 2015, the company sold:

  • 0.2 t black caviar;
  • 1.5 tons of fish.

Let us recall that the average cost of 1 kg of black caviar on the Russian wholesale market reaches 28 - 30 thousand rubles. Now the farm plans to produce 2 tons of sturgeon and sterlet caviar by 2018.

Interesting: According to the Ministry of Agriculture, exports of Russian black caviar tripled last year and reached 4.71 tons during the first and third quarters of 2015. The reason for this is the active development of sturgeon production and a favorable market situation in the context of a falling ruble exchange rate.

Small wholesale: making money on savings

  • Idea: online store in Cash & Carry format
  • Entrepreneur: Elena Drovovozova
  • Region: Moscow
  • Description: in 2014, Elena Drovovozova, a former lawyer at the multi-format trading company X5 Retail Group, founded an online cosmetics store in a format similar to Cash & Carry. The store was named BeautyDiscount.ru and offers customers cosmetics at retail and wholesale at a discounted price. The idea of ​​crowdshopping was taken as the basis for creating the store. In order to save on the purchase of goods and delivery, people join groups and make joint purchases.

At this stage, the store’s assortment includes more than 20 thousand products. According to Alexa Rank, the store ranks 260,378, it is viewed daily by more than 9 thousand people, and the average cost of the resource is estimated at just over 9.6 thousand US dollars. The success of the store is due to the growing popularity of joint purchases (they account for almost 40% of turnover). Most profitable startups are in one way or another connected with crowdshopping (Rentoid, Uber, etc.), but in Russia the niche has not yet been occupied, and therefore everyone has a chance for success!

DIY: Basic Cooking

  • Idea: food constructors
  • Entrepreneur: Olga Zinovieva
  • Region: Moscow and Moscow region
  • Description: In 2014, a former McKinsey consultant created a home delivery service for groceries. Its peculiarity is that the products are intended for the preparation of specific dishes: washed, peeled, cut. The kits come with colorful step-by-step recipes that allow you to prepare delicious dishes in 5 to 30 minutes.

Grocery packages are delivered twice a week when you subscribe on the website. The menu for each client is compiled individually based on a preliminary survey. In just one month of work, 120 thousand residents of the capital became participants in the project, which brought the company more than 1.2 million rubles. (according to RBC).

The idea to create a food constructor came to Olga while studying at Harvard Business School. She immediately attracted the attention of the head of the Boston venture capital fund, Lawrence Lepard. The fund invested 200 thousand US dollars in the project in exchange for a 10% share in the business.

In 2016, the Elementaree project managed to attract more than 500 thousand US dollars from an international investor, whose name was not disclosed. The funds received will be spent on platform development (automation of business processes, scaling). The creators plan to create a full-fledged alternative to offline supermarkets within 3 to 5 years.

How to wash money: making money from laundries

  • Idea: self-service laundry network
  • Entrepreneurs: Pavel Glushenkov, Oleg Maslennikov
  • Region: Krasnodar region
  • Description: In 2011, former law enforcement officer Oleg Maslennikov, inspired by self-service laundries popular in the United States, opened the first laundromat in Krasnodar. At first, the entrepreneur encountered problems, for example, choosing the wrong equipment (washing machines with a load capacity of 6.5 kg did not meet the needs of customers). But he successfully chose a location in a new shopping center, which allowed him to save on advertising.

In 2014, having 2 laundries in Krasnodar and 1 in Omsk, the entrepreneur decided to develop the business. At this stage, he was joined by Pavel Glushenkov, who had previously developed his own network of laundries, the first of which was created as a franchise. Currently, the network has 15 points in the regions, including Moscow. 8 of them are located in the premises of the Magnit chain stores, popular in the Southern Federal District.

According to RBC, the maximum income from one point can reach 350 thousand rubles, and the net profit (minus the cost of rent, household chemicals, taxes, the cost of utilities) is about 120 - 150 thousand rubles. According to entrepreneurs, opening a self-service laundry will require 2 million rubles, and the payback period reaches 3 years.

In partnership with friends who owned a company producing board games and souvenirs, Kravtsov began developing scenarios for the first two games: “Psychiatric Hospital” and “Soviet Apartment.” The entrepreneurs managed to create scenarios in just a couple of evenings, and the amount of investment to open the first quest room, according to Forbes, amounted to 500 thousand rubles.

At this stage, each quest room of the Claustrophobia network brings in approximately 1.1 million rubles. monthly. The first franchises were sold in 2014. Their cost was 150 thousand rubles, while the royalty rate ranged from 10% for the regions to 15% in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

What areas of entrepreneurship are most relevant and profitable today always remain on the agenda.

What you need to know before opening

Factors you should know before starting your own business:

  1. Draw up a detailed plan of expenses that will need to cover the initial investment.
  2. Take into account the possibility of competition. For example, the smaller the settlement, the less competition, but at the same time, the smaller the possible sales volume.
  3. Choose the type of business in which the entrepreneur is most knowledgeable.

Before choosing an area of ​​future activity, it is worth highlighting the key factors that determine its profitability:

  • The time interval for the return of the initially invested funds.
  • The chosen area of ​​business must necessarily be characterized by great demand from consumers.
  • Acceptable level of profitability. Profitability should increase in parallel with the volume of goods or services sold.
  • Low price threshold at which the purchase of materials and raw materials contribute to increasing profitability.
  • Positive return on assets.

To implement a small business, minimal labor resources and funds are required. For example, you can gather your friends and start cleaning apartments and making repairs. You can also open an inexpensive fast food restaurant, kiosk or bar.

Not long ago, network marketing was in demand, operating on the principle of selling a product or service directly to the consumer, bypassing intermediaries, which significantly reduced costs and increased profits.

A striking example of network marketing is the space company Oriflame.

Most profitable small business 2016

The overwhelming number of professional analysts agree that the most profitable and profitable type of business is construction, consumption and catering.

The most promising features are repair, installation and construction work. Profitability within such a business can reach 100 percent of the cost.

  1. Beauty and health. Beauty services have always been an equally profitable area of ​​business. Every person wants to be not just healthy, but also beautiful. Today, the business of providing beauty services is in demand and highly paid. People of all financial abilities and ages will always spend money to maintain their health and beauty. This is why massage parlors and hairdressers are so popular.
  2. Construction sector. As mentioned above, one of the most profitable types of business in Russia is construction and installation work. This is explained primarily by the growth of the real estate market and the coverage of a wide range of activities. One of the advantages of this type of business activity is the minimum financial threshold. For example, if there are not enough funds to open a construction company, then you can form a team of professionals and gradually expand the list of services it provides. If you have significant funds, you can safely build real estate.
  3. Trade in food products. No less popular and profitable is the satisfaction of primary human needs - nutrition. It is best to start trading in a residential area, in which there are no retail outlets that can have any significant competitive impact. If there are no large investment opportunities, you can open a small stall, gradually expanding the assortment and, as a result, sales volume. Having collected enough money, you can safely open a grocery store or a small restaurant. The most important thing in this business area is the correct selection of suppliers.

View information, analyze new offers, negotiate with the owner for a convenient viewing time and place advertisements with your services in the same newspapers that you read yourself.

Constantly study sites, adding information about the selected options. You need communication from several operators, a notepad and the Internet. Even if you don’t have a personal car, public transport will help you get to any area of ​​the city.

It is important to be constantly in touch and actively respond to calls from apartment seekers. Next, a standard form of contract is developed that will be convenient for both parties and the cost of services is calculated.

In most cases, the bonus for a realtor's work is 50 % from renting premises. Later, you can consider options for finding buyers when selling or buying apartments.

Business idea No. 12. Equipment repair

This direction requires only the acquisition of the necessary tools and experience. Modern equipment tends to break down regularly, which is why repair shops are constantly overloaded. When accepting your order, they set a repair time of 2 weeks, and in most cases even a month.

Business idea No. 13. Organizing dates

Another direction that is gaining relevance at the present time. The ability to make every meeting memorable will give you the chance to develop by offering new ideas. It’s worth initially thinking about what you will offer your client.

Your task is not just to listen to wishes, but also to offer the best option, complementing it with your own ideas. Browse websites, take notes, study videos, try to add creativity.

Take photographs of the event you are creating and place these shots in your portfolio. Describe each of the invented directions for yourself, confirming it with phone numbers, current addresses and discount cards.

Calculate the cost of your services taking into account the proposed event. It is worth understanding that in this case the customer pays not only for your work, but also for the services of the main contractor.

Business idea No. 14. Food delivery

This type of business will be most suitable for those who know how to offer their services and cook delicious food. Here you need not only to find your future customers, but also to maintain constant contact with them.

The task is to create a small menu, make it more homey, and purchase a minimum set of products. Every day, delivering ready-made lunches, you collect applications for the next day, and then, by the deadline, you again begin delivering them to the specified addresses.

Business idea No. 15. Cargo transportation

This is a direction from the service sector. Having a truck at your disposal, you can place an ad and arrive at a convenient time for the customer to complete the agreed amount of work.

Try to find movers to help you who are ready to work on your terms. The payment system here is simple. Calculation is carried out either per floor or per number of hours worked.
