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

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

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

When you were born, you didn’t immediately say the first word, didn’t immediately take the first step, then why do you think that in business you should immediately open a bank, a car dealership or a large supermarket? You may have a desire to do something big, but try to tune your brain to what you and your wallet can handle at the moment. And when the brain starts working towards goals that are closer to reality, then ideas will come to you like a river.

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

And this very small business is microbusiness! You can be micro-businessmen, freelancing, producing something at home, resell some goods, or provide services. You will be very small at first, but as time passes, your growth will accelerate.

Did you know that the world's most famous snack bar, Subway, used to be just one small outlet, but now has tens of thousands of eateries around the world? And if the founders had not opened this one diner, if they had not started small, then this multi-million dollar company would not have existed!

In general, in America, every tenth person is engaged in a micro-business, producing something in a garage, selling something, etc., but in Russia this is just beginning to emerge. You have every chance!

Most of you want to do something of your own, to leave a job you don’t like, to start living better, to be more free, to later make a big business, etc. So for these purposes, micro-business is quite enough.

Many people are engaged in business and earn only a little more than the average salary, but they are happy that they are doing an interesting job and are independent, without depending on anyone.

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

How to start a business with minimal investment

Now let's move on to the fact that it is possible to open a business with minimal investment and, moreover, it is necessary! You don’t need large investments to open a microbusiness. To get started you only need 4 things:

  1. Think about what you like and what you could realistically do (make a rough list right now, then add to it);
  2. Think about how to benefit from your interest. Just think about whether your business could be useful to someone.
  3. See if your available money is enough for this. If it’s not enough, then return to point No. 1 and go again.

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

Important! When you want to eat and you only have 50 rubles in your pocket (I had this, I don’t know about you), you buy what you have enough money for and satisfy your body’s need for food. But, you must admit that if you had 1000 rubles, you would buy something more tasty. It’s the same thing at the beginning of your micro-business. If you have little money, then try to make the maximum profit out of it. You must satisfy your need - start! If you manage to do something with little money, then later you will move mountains with big money. Will you burn out? Get great experience for little money!

Living examples of business with small investments

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

  • I opened my first website (a blog) with 1000 rubles in my pocket. Immediately followed by a second one for 500 rubles. Total 1500 rub. After 3 months, both sites began to bring in a total of 3,000 rubles per month, then 5,000 rubles, then 10, and so on until 15,000 rubles. After a year and a half, I sold one of them for a tidy sum, and the second one remained with my partner.
  • I opened a website development studio without any investment at all. She also brought me a little 10,000-30,000 rubles a month. But that’s because I had to pay designers and layout designers.
  • The service for selling tweets, likes and everything else was opened for 7,000 rubles, paid for itself in 2 days. Brought 40,000 rubles. per month and was sold.
  • The blog you are reading now was started with 500 rubles, and now it is also generating income.
  • We opened an online store of bags with 80,000 - 100,000 rubles, and recouped the money invested within 2 months, from the moment the goods arrived. From the age of 3 months he was already bringing in clean money and continues to this day.
  • Now another interesting project is being prepared, although the investment is larger, but still not millions.

Well, all about myself. What do you want? They thought I was running a business with millions in income. No! I'm a micro-businessman! The assets, of course, are not worth a single million, but this is a matter of time, experience, desire and interest! I’m not bragging, much less there’s nothing to brag about, I just want to show by my example that you can start small!

Now let's move on to others:

  • The same “SubWay” that I mentioned above was opened with an initial investment of $1000. It is now a multi-million dollar business with tens of thousands of eateries around the world.
  • A friend of mine created several public pages on VK a long time ago, spending only 2000 rubles on advertising. and soon one of them gained popularity to a million subscribers, then more, etc. Income more than 100,000 rubles. clean per month.
  • My parents started selling cereals at the street market when I was 5-7 years old, investing some money in the goods. Every year there was more money in circulation, there were more retail outlets, the assortment was expanding and everything was only increasing. Now, of course, they have a staff, they tried other types of business, in general they developed as best they could and continue to develop to this day.
  • The founder of the JivoSite service (an online consultant for websites), Timur Valishev, invested 150,000 rubles in it, and now his service has thousands of paying clients.
  • The same situation is with almost all the founders of public pages and websites. Little was invested in all of them, but now it brings a lot.

One conclusion can be drawn. Starting a business with minimal investment is more than possible, you just need to want, think and do it!

And here, by the way, is a video interview with Timur Valishev (JivoSite) and Sergei Baryshnikov (Bigpicture site). I advise you to look:

Business idea No. 1. Selling products from one-page sites

This business is now very relevant and brought good money in 2018 and will bring in 2019 (and even longer). And it’s possible to start it with minimal investment.

  1. a trendy product that is currently in good demand is selected from suppliers (in China or Russia);

The business idea is that you buy goods from China cheaply, and in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, etc. sell for more. On goods from China, you can make a markup from 50 to 300% on average, which indicates a good profit.

I have a section about . In it I share my experience and ideas for a business with minimal investment selling goods from China. There you will also find many instructions on how to order products, how to sell them, etc.

The supplier sends purchases directly to your customers on your behalf. As a result, you earn the difference between the price from the supplier and the price at which you sold the product to the client.

Difficult to understand the first time? Then read in detail about and how to make money on it.

Business idea No. 4. Selling goods on Avito

This is the simplest business idea with minimal investment, or even no investment at all. Its essence is to sell absolutely any goods on the Avito.ru bulletin board.

But you can start by making money by selling a few of your unnecessary things. Thus, you will already have money to purchase the necessary goods.

Business idea No. 5. Inexpensive Chinese cosmetics

You buy inexpensive cosmetics in China and sell them in Russia. Such products can be distributed both through social networks, online stores, and by offering them offline (i.e. in person).

Every woman dreams of a large cosmetic bag filled to the brim with decorative cosmetics. But this dream does not always become a reality due to the high prices for such products. You can help with this by offering the product a little cheaper than in stores. Thanks to this, you will have many clients who will want to buy several lipsticks and other products at once.

In order for such a business to generate income, you need to analyze the decorative cosmetics market and select the most popular products. Then compare prices on Chinese and Russian sites. Based on this, you choose the most popular and cost-effective cosmetics and order them at wholesale prices. After receiving the goods, you begin selling it in a way convenient for you.

The amount of profit directly depends on the cosmetics sold. If you buy an eyeshadow palette at a price of 400 rubles, and sell it for 900 rubles, then the income will be 500 rubles. from one unit of goods.

The essence of the business idea is as follows: you offer your client to organize a holiday for him for a fee.

Earnings from organizing holidays can be unstable. It all depends on the number of celebrations, their scope and the specifics of the services provided.

Business idea No. 7. Organization of non-standard tours

You create an interesting, unique travel itinerary, which differs as much as possible from standard tourist tours, and offer it to the client. He buys a ticket, and you, in turn, deal with all organizational issues and support him throughout the trip.

There will always be clients who love active recreation, eco-tourism, etc. Moreover, creating such a business requires minimal investment, experience in the tourism sector and organizing skills.

In order to organize non-standard tours, you need to rent a room, become an individual entrepreneur, hire employees (this is not necessary at the beginning of work), and distribute advertising. In addition, you will have to create several interesting tours that are suitable for different segments of the population.

Monthly income depends on the number of vouchers sold, as well as their cost. Therefore, earnings at the beginning of such activities may be unstable.

Business idea No. 8. Makeup, makeup, hairstyle

The essence of the business idea is this: After training in specialized courses, you provide your services for creating hairstyles or various types of makeup to everyone.

The services of a makeup artist and hairdresser have always been and will be in demand. All because every girl wants to be beautiful, both on holidays and on weekdays. Thanks to this, hairdressers and makeup artists always have enough work.

Business idea No. 9. Santa Claus

The essence of such a business idea is as follows: you are looking for actors who will agree to play the role of fairy-tale characters, developing a script and finding clients who are interested in the service offered. On the specified day, Father Frost visits the children and gives a performance.

Not a single New Year is complete without Father Frost and Snow Maiden. They are invited home, to kindergartens and schools. The demand for New Year's performances is very high and often the actors are not able to provide services to everyone. Therefore, “Santa Claus” is the most profitable business during the New Year holidays.

To implement such an idea, it is necessary to find actors or people with artistic talent, rent costumes, write a script and distribute advertising.

This type of income is seasonal. Profit depends on the number of performances, actors' salaries and other expenses. After the end of the winter holidays, you can continue to collaborate with the staff and perform at children's parties, but as other fairy-tale characters.

In order to organize such a club, you need to register an individual entrepreneur, find a quiet cafe and book a corner table for 10-12 people. After this, purchase 2 copies of the board game “Mafia” and find participants (usually via the Internet). All that remains is to play the game and count the money earned.

The income from organizing a club is quite easy to calculate. On average, participation in such fun costs about 300 rubles, and the number of participants is 12. 8 games are held per month. Hence, monthly earnings are 300*12*8=28,800 rubles.

Especially if he specializes in wedding and children's photography. Wedding photography is distinguished by its scale, which means it brings in a lot of profit, and children’s photography is ordered regularly, because... the child grows and changes.

To start your work activity you need:

The essence of the business idea: You, having the necessary materials and tools for bathtub restoration, find a client who is interested in this service. Discuss all the details, sign the contract and complete the order.

Replacing a bathtub is a costly and time-consuming undertaking. Often people either don’t have the opportunity to buy a new one, or don’t want to dismantle the old bathtub. It is for them that there is a top coating restoration service. This saves the family budget and also saves the owner from a lot of problems. Therefore, customers are much more likely to restore bathtubs than to buy new ones.

In order to start working and give a second life to the bathtub, you will have to officially register an individual entrepreneur and choose a restoration method. This determines what tools and materials need to be purchased. After all the acquisitions, all that remains is to conduct an advertising campaign and wait for clients to call.

For many dog ​​breeds, clothing is not a whim of the owner, but a necessity. It helps protect your pet from bad weather and prevents hypothermia. Therefore, owners of short-haired dog breeds always buy new clothes for their pets during the cold season. Clothes for dogs are quite expensive due to the specifics of the product. Although there is very little material, the only equipment you need is a sewing machine.

To sew clothes for dogs, you need to have sewing equipment (scissors, threads, needles, etc.), material, a sewing machine, patterns (can be found on the Internet), a desire to work and some free time.

It is not difficult to calculate the approximate profit from 1 product. On average, one suit costs about 2,000 rubles, and the cost of material is 500 rubles. Hence the net income is 1500 rubles.

To sew a soft toy you will need: a sewing machine, tools and materials. After this, choose the character you will make, find a pattern (on the Internet or a magazine) and proceed directly to its production. Then you choose the method of selling the products.

The cost of the finished product can be calculated using the formula “direct costs + indirect costs x2 = market value” (these are approximate calculations).

Business Idea No. 25. Furniture for Pets

The essence of the business idea is as follows: you analyze the pet furniture market, produce the most popular models and sell them in a way convenient for you. You can make custom furniture at a higher price.

Pet owners want to please their pets in every possible way and therefore buy them this or that furniture. People with average or high incomes buy furniture for dogs. Therefore, they try not to save money. Competition in such a market is minimal, so if you produce high-quality furniture with a beautiful design, then you won’t have to worry about the number of buyers.

This is a fairly profitable project, because... pays off quickly. If the cost of one piece of furniture is 300-500 rubles, then its market value is 700-2000 rubles. Income exceeds expenses several times.

Conclusion

My conclusion is, as always, positive. Business with minimal investment is possible! Think, start, try. You always need to start small and business is no exception. Moreover, making a business for a million is no easier than for 50,000 rubles. It just seems like there is a lot of money, so everything is simple, but everything has its own difficulties.

For example, I wouldn’t be able to manage entire factories or banks now, I don’t have much experience. Therefore, I will continue to build my small businesses, turn them into medium-sized ones, and then it’s not far from big ones;)

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.

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.

    New business ideas from all over the world: TOP 7 best options

    Let's consider new business ideas that have gained recognition in foreign countries and are actively entering the Russian market. We will review 7, as well as ideas for small businesses with some material investments.

    No. 1. Flowers in glycerin.

    The amount of capital investment is 20 thousand rubles.

    Business payback is 1-2 months.

    This business idea appeared quite recently, but has already gained great popularity. Creating flower arrangements in glycerin is a new popular trend in business with minimal investment.

    A similar idea is a beautiful glass container with a neat composition inside, preserved with a mixture of glycerin and water.

    Where this new small business idea can be used:

    • Unusual gift.
    • A unique souvenir.
    • Additional decor in the room.

    The technique for performing such a composition is very simple and does not require special knowledge:

    1. You collect the desired composition of flowers - buy it or create it yourself.
    2. Place it all in a glass vase, bottle or jar.
    3. Prepare a special solution - boiling water + glycerin in a ratio of 2:1.
    4. Cool the preservative solution, pour the composition over it and leave for 24 hours.
    5. Decorate your creation with ribbons, lace, and beads.

    As you can see, the process of creating such an original gift is very simple and requires virtually no material costs.

    To sell such products, it is enough to create a VKontakte or Facebook page and actively promote your product.

    The best option to start selling your product is to register on the platform www.livemaster.ru. This is the largest platform in Russia for the sale of hand-made products.

    Go to the website and create your account:

    Then you register your store (via the button under your profile) and start designing it:

    That's it, your virtual store is ready. Now you can sell your product without any problems.

    Helpful advice: pay attention to the “Master classes” section. There you can learn new skills or improve existing ones.

    No. 2. Women's shoes with removable top.

    The amount of capital investment is from 30 thousand rubles.

    Business payback is 3 months.

    This new business idea comes from the USA. Its founder, having invented these unusual shoes, was able to solve the problem of many women. Now you don’t need to buy 10 pairs of shoes, just buy different replacement uppers.

    These women's sandals are a base for shoes to which various upper materials are attached. Such replacement elements may have different designs and colors.

    This means that during the day you can change your shoes several times without changing them even once.

    The advantages of this idea are obvious:

    • Save money on buying multiple pairs of shoes.
    • Easy to use - the replaceable top is attached to special rivets.
    • Uniqueness - few people in Russia can boast of having such original shoes.
    • You can change the top of your shoes often, thereby matching them to your next outfit.

    Implementing such an idea will also not be difficult. You can create an online store so as not to spend money on renting premises. There you will sell shoes and replacements for them.

    One interested client is enough to create an advertisement. New fashion trends are spreading quickly among women.

    And if you also make a discount and give one replacement top for free with your first purchase, you are guaranteed success.

    No. 3. Painting cars with rubber paint.

    The amount of material investments is from 30 thousand rubles.

    Business payback – from 3 months.

    This new trend appeared for the first time in the United States and has already gained great popularity. More and more car enthusiasts prefer using liquid rubber or Plastidip.

    Liquid rubber has a number of advantages compared to other paints:

    • It is durable and wear-resistant.
    • Protects the car coating from scratches.
    • Protects against ultraviolet radiation.

    In addition, this new type of paint is easy to apply to the car.

    Many auto repairmen prefer Plastidip because:

    • In order to paint the car, you do not need to disassemble it. Liquid rubber can be applied by spray.
    • From the moment of applying Plastidip to the complete drying of the car, only a couple of hours pass.
    • This technology does not require many devices - only the liquid rubber itself and a spray gun (a tool for applying paint).
    • If you need to remove the coating, this is no longer a problem. Plastidip is removed in an even layer without any effort.

    All you need to implement such a business idea is a rented garage or other suitable premises.

    Simply print out flyers indicating:

    • The cost of your work.
    • The advantages of such painting.
    • Examples of completed work.

    The first clients will not be long in coming, as the idea is very promising and relevant today.

    No. 4. Website for online planning of residential premises.

    The amount of capital investments is 75 – 100 thousand rubles.

    Payback period – 6-9 months.

    New small business ideas appear in the United States every day, and this business idea was no exception. Namely, it is from America that most original ideas come to the Russian entrepreneurial sphere.

    At first glance, this idea does not seem entirely new. Surely, many have already come across free applications for planning apartments or houses.

    But they have a large number of disadvantages:

    • Limited possibilities for choosing furniture and calculating its dimensions.
    • Lack of connection to communication networks.
    • Lack of room design options.

    Another option for planning your home is design bureaus, but their services are often expensive.

    And only an online planning website will help solve all of the above consumer problems.

    All you need to organize this business idea is to create a convenient, high-quality website with which you can plan your room, select furniture and wallpaper, choose floor coverings and arrange an online version of the bathroom, linking it to your communications scheme.

    This new idea for small businesses will definitely be successful, as it will allow the customer:

    • Save time and money.
    • Save your nerves.
    • Get a ready-made layout plan for all rooms at an affordable price.

    You can contact an experienced programmer who will help you implement such a business idea. But, if you have enough knowledge in this area, you can save money and create a website yourself.

    To do this, you need to select and purchase hosting.

    Just search the Internet for “purchase hosting” and determine the best option for yourself:

    After that, select a domain name and register it on one of the services:

    • https://www.reg.ru
    • https://www.nic.ru

    Next comes the most interesting part - go to the website builder and start filling it out. The most convenient options for beginners are considered https://ru.wix.com

    If you figure it out, everything is quite simple. But if you still lack experience, contact a specialist.

    In order to quickly attract customers and make additional advertising, you can:

    • Start cooperation with large hypermarkets of building materials and furniture centers. You will be able to create the layout of buildings taking into account their furniture options. This will serve as mutually beneficial advertising for each other.
    • Agree on cooperation with designers. You will turn to them for help in choosing the style of apartments, and they will advise you as a room planner.
    • Take into account all the nuances when decorating a house, give discounts to regular customers. In this case, they will definitely recommend you to their friends.

    No. 5. Fitness bus is a new fashionable idea for business.

    The amount of investment is from 900 thousand rubles.

    Business payback is 9-12 months.

    The healthy lifestyle trend came to us from Europe. And with it come such brilliant ideas for small businesses. The fitness bus, as a business idea, appeared in Europe recently. This is a completely new type of business for Russia.

    Despite the large capital investment, this business will pay for itself in less than a year. And, most likely, it will become very popular, since it has no analogues in our country.

    What exactly is a fitness bus?

    In appearance, this is an ordinary bus, only in place of the usual seats there are various simulators.

    This type of bus first appeared in London, where it runs around the city, and office workers can take it to work or home.

    Who would be interested in this business format:

      Office workers or businessmen.

      As a rule, these people spend a lot of time at work and they simply do not have enough time to visit the gym.

      Most young mothers want to regain their good figure, but when spending time with their baby, they do not have this opportunity.

      Young people, students.

      Usually, students also do not have enough time for gyms due to the heavy workload at universities. And with the help of a fitness bus you can exercise and save time.

    Moreover, no additional advertising is needed to implement this idea. Such a bus, plying around the city, will already cause an extraordinary stir among passers-by.

    You can create routes according to the wishes of your clients, or you can drive up to their homes. Hiring a fitness instructor is also a good option - this will be an added bonus.

    No. 6. Vending machine for salads.

    The amount of capital investment is from 1 million rubles.

    Business payback is up to 12 months.

    This business idea came to us from the USA, or more precisely from Chicago. Its founder, Luke Saunders, decided that fast food sold in vending machines was no longer relevant. He created a completely new direction and succeeded in it.

    The essence of the machine’s operation is as follows: inside there are compartments with prepared and chopped vegetables. When a buyer selects a salad, each cell containing the product is opened and the finished salad is placed in layers in a special container.

    Thus, the products retain their freshness and presentation for as long as possible. The buyer can also choose a sauce for the salad.

    This idea has many advantages and, given the pace of large cities, it will certainly be popular among citizens.

    The only disadvantage of this idea is its high cost.

    What you need to spend on when organizing such a small business:

    • Buying yourself. They are expensive, and besides, devices suitable for this idea are not yet widespread within our country.
    • Rent a place where this machine will be installed.
    • Purchase of vegetables and fruits that will be used to prepare salads.
    • Purchase of utensils that will be needed for packaging.
    • Organization of an advertising campaign.

    If, after all of the above, you still want to become successful thanks to this useful and tasty business idea, do not forget about the nuances that will help you achieve your goal.

  • a spacious aquarium of a certain shape;
  • a complete set of equipment to create ideal conditions;
  • comfortable chair for clients.

An unusual idea requires mandatory advertising. The minimum price for treating feet with Rufa fish starts from 600 rubles. When providing additional services (pedicure, massage), it can be significantly increased. With an average workload and one aquarium, the invested amount can be recouped in less than a year.

Business idea 8 – Manufacturing of seals and stamps

The cost of investments is from 150,000 rubles.

Manufacturing stamps and seals for enterprises and organizations is a profitable business that is independent of the season and is in constant demand. Given the growth of small businesses, constant changes during re-registration and name changes, the number of clients will invariably increase. An additional income is the production of seals for archives and libraries.

Implementation of the idea:

To work at the first stage, you can make do with a standard set of sketches, and one trained person can handle the technical work. The main costs associated with opening such a workshop depend on the range of services and the choice of manufacturing technology:

  • rental of premises for work;
  • acquisition of computer equipment and special equipment;
  • purchase of consumables;
  • payment of taxes and wages.

Despite the demand for such services, most projects pay for themselves no earlier than 8 months, even when located in large cities, and the breakeven threshold begins after six months. Given the increasing competition in this market, in order to increase profits, new manufacturing methods, modern technological materials and components should be constantly introduced.

Business idea 9 – Sale of electronic cigarettes, hookahs, vapes

The amount of initial investment is about 200,000 rubles.

The basis of a business idea consists of organizing a point of sale of electronic cigarettes, hookahs, vapes, necessary compounds and mixtures for refilling. This is a current type of entrepreneurial activity, absolutely legal and legal, which can bring the owner an average income.

The target audience is people of different ages who want to replace real cigarettes, entertainment places and fashionable hookah bars. The relevance of this idea is also obvious, especially against the backdrop of the introduction of a law banning smoking in public places. Electronic cigarettes do not produce smoke, they produce steam. In addition, sophisticated gadgets are an excellent topic for discussion among connoisseurs of vaping culture.

Implementation of the idea:

The best option for opening such a store would be to use a franchise, which will solve the problem of product supply and support at first. At the opening stage, the main costs fall on the following items:

  • renting premises for a retail outlet;
  • acquisition of the first batches of products;
  • a minimum set of equipment and furniture.

The cheapest electronic cigarettes start at 400 rubles. Therefore, when selling 4,000 thousand worth of products per day, we can talk about the transition to full self-sufficiency after just two months of stable sales. Given the conditions of great competition in this sector, it is necessary to carry out active advertising, constant promotions, and discounts to attract customers.

Business idea 10 – Selling packaged honey

Approximate investment - from 150,000 rubles.

General essence of the proposed business idea consists of organizing the process of purchasing fresh honey from farm apiaries, packaging it and selling it through retail outlets. The relevance is due to the constant increase in demand for high-quality and natural products among metropolitan residents, which are practically not found in modern supermarkets.

Implementation of the idea:

To implement the project, it is necessary to find several apiary farms that will provide raw materials, as well as:

  • rent premises for work;
  • purchase packaging equipment;
  • find a supplier of new packaging;
  • develop and order stickers from a printing house.

An additional expense item will be the maintenance of the vehicle and personnel. Main market options: retail chain of stores, wholesale buyers, own retail outlet.

An approximate calculation of profit can be made based on one kilogram of a sweet product: purchasing it at a price of 500 rubles per kilogram, you can package it in 200 gram containers. Selling each jar at a price of 200 rubles allows you to increase your profit to 1000 rubles. By subtracting from this amount the cost of honey, packaging, overhead and organizational expenses, you can get a significant income of 300-400 rubles per kilogram. Good savings are obtained by involving family members, your own car or premises in the process.

Among the disadvantages of this project - its seasonality, which will not allow you to make a profit all year round.

Business idea 11 – Landscaping and finishing of the territory

The initial investment is from 150,000 rubles.

At the heart of a business idea - organizing the complete process of landscaping the territory with laying tiles, paving individual areas, installing fences and laying out flower beds. This service is in demand among owners of private housing construction, shops, recreation centers and industrial enterprises who want to beautifully design paths, parking areas or improve the appearance of the adjacent area.

Implementation of the idea:

Construction materials are purchased by the project customer, therefore the main financial expenses of the entrepreneur are:

  • purchasing the tools necessary for the job;
  • payment of wages to employees;
  • maintenance of office space and warehouse for inventory storage;
  • transport services.

The cost of services must be calculated based on an estimate, which must take into account taxes, all time costs, wear and tear and depreciation of construction equipment. The calculation is made for the convenience of the client per square meter. The profit margin is also included in the estimated cost and is at least 20%.

A definite disadvantage of such a project is the complete lack of orders in winter. This period should be devoted to searching for customers, advertising and studying new technologies.

Business idea 12 – Making photo books

The initial investment amount is 150,000 rubles.

An interesting and enjoyable photo book business is available for people who want to engage in creative work. The new service is in definite demand among young parents, married couples and wedding photographers. It consists of producing an individual book-size memorial album from the customer’s photographs.

Implementation of the idea:

The project does not require a huge premises, and the main costs consist of several points:

  • purchasing the necessary printing machine;
  • purchasing equipment for manual processing of albums;
  • training in bookbinding and photo collage design courses;
  • advertising of services;
  • purchase of consumables.

This project is perfect for implementation in a small town, thanks to the ability to work with orders via the Internet. Having determined the cost of one printed page, it is easy to assume a profit. For example, by stating the price of a sheet and hardcover cover at 100 and 500 rubles, respectively, you can determine the price of one photo book at 1,500 rubles. If the costs amounted to 600 rubles, then each simple order will bring income in the amount of 900 rubles. To attract customers and increase prices, you should add original covers and photo processing.

Business idea 13 – Sports nutrition store

Initial investment - 150,000 rubles.

Such a project involves purchasing from sports nutrition suppliers and selling it through your own store at a premium.

Implementation of the idea:

Opening such a store will be profitable in a city with a large number of gyms, health centers and sections. Good walk-through locations could be retail space in hypermarkets, sublease in a large store, or cooperation with a sporting goods department. For full work you will need:

  • small room;
  • purchase of a trial batch of goods;
  • trade equipment and shelving;
  • advertising.

The average trade margin for a similar product is 50%. With a monthly turnover of 100,000 rubles, after deducting expenses for the seller’s salary, transport and advertising expenses, a net income of 20,000 rubles remains. By taking on the functions of a seller and handling delivery, the project owner can significantly reduce these cost items.

Initial investments - from 400,000 rubles.

The project is based on the idea of ​​equipping a modern jewelry workshop, which provides the population with services for cleaning, repairing expensive jewelry, and producing exclusive and original products. Such a business project will be relevant due to low competition and consistently high demand for products made of precious metals.

The location for opening should be chosen carefully, being located near jewelry stores or renting a few meters in jewelry stores. This will help solve the problem of security and the constant flow of customers who want to have their ring or bracelet adjusted to size after purchase.

The main costs in implementing the idea are:

  • acquisition of modern equipment and tools for repairs;
  • design of premises, showcases and waiting areas for clients;
  • expenses for advertising, signage;

  • renting a runway, concluding an agreement with an organization that operates flights and has the appropriate license;
  • purchasing special equipment and uniforms;
  • salary of the team of instructors;
  • expenses to ensure a comfortable stay for clients.

Business idea 26 – Opening a cafe on wheels

Minimum investment - 450,000 rubles.

The essence of such a project - opening a fully equipped mobile cafe in an equipped trailer, offering visitors fresh fast food and drinks.

Implementation of the idea:

For a successful project, an excellent option would be a small mobile coffee shop without tables for visitors or concluding a franchise agreement with a well-promoted and established brand. The second option makes searching easier:

  • suppliers of raw materials for work, packaging materials;
  • employee training;
  • preparation of necessary documents;
  • purchasing equipment for preparing and selling the drink.

In most cases, it is impossible to achieve high profits without offering visitors additional services: snacks, confectionery, original toppings and additives. An excellent profitability level is considered to be 40%, which will allow the project to recoup in 4 months, but requires maintaining a high pace of work.

Savings can be achieved by concluding a contract with seafood suppliers, who often offer branded refrigerators or thermoses for free. With an average trade margin of 100 to 300% and a profitability of 50-60%, a sushi bar will fully recoup its investment in 5-6 months.

Business idea 36 – Rental and installation of billboards

Minimum investment – ​​1,000,000 rubles.

Implementation of the idea:

To organize a business project to work with billboards, you will need to solve several production issues:

  • make banners yourself or order designs from specialized organizations;
  • obtain permission to place them in certain places from local authorities in compliance with all legal norms;
  • rent office space in an area convenient for clients;
  • hire qualified personnel capable of monitoring the quality of information on the board.

Business idea 37 – Opening a pancake shop

Minimum investment – ​​900,000 rubles.

The essence of the business project – opening a small fast food enterprise specializing in making pancakes as the main dish on the menu. A hearty and inexpensive snack in Russian traditions can be a good replacement for the usual fast food. Hot pancakes are served in portions with tasty additions, original fillings and drinks. This market is at a growth stage, so this idea can become profitable and relevant.

Implementation of the idea:

The most optimal format for a pancake shop would be to organize a small eatery in an area rented in a shopping center with a stable flow of customers. In this case, you have to make a choice:

  • open a pancake shop yourself;
  • attract a franchise of a popular brand.

Both options have certain subtleties and positive aspects. For any chosen form, the main expenses will be: purchasing equipment for the kitchen and the trading process, decorating the dining area, and paying staff. With good traffic and an average bill of 200–300 rubles per visitor, daily revenue can start at 6,000 rubles. The payback time for such a project ranges from one to two years.

Business idea 38 – Opening a karaoke bar

Minimum costs – 1,000,000 rubles.

Regional entrepreneurs are especially interested in opening such vacation spots, where karaoke bars are an interesting and fresh form of family leisure.

Implementation of the idea:

The most optimal format would be a small cafe with 10–12 tables, which would offer visitors karaoke services, good cuisine and affordable prices. The main part of the costs at the opening stage is the purchase of high-quality equipment and installation, taking into account all acoustic requirements. The original design of the hall and an improvised stage will help create an interesting image.
