If you decide to start your business in the field of production, then the idea of ​​​​selling drinking water will surely interest you. Before starting the production and sale of goods, I want to note the significant pros and cons of this way of earning.

Benefits of a bottled drinking water business

• First, water is a commodity that belongs to the group food products. No person can go without fluid for a long time. Therefore, we can conclude that this product will always be in demand and relevant, and the drinking water business will be profitable.
• Secondly, a big plus of this type of income is the organization of a business in almost any area. People's needs for purified, drinking water are only increasing, because the quality of water pipes is only getting worse every year. In this regard, drinking water from the tap will soon be generally impossible, so the prospects for the production and sale of bottled water will only increase.
• Thirdly, this type of business does not require relatively large financial investments, especially if your company will only sell drinking water, and not produce it.
• Fourthly, it is a quick payback. If you can compete in the market, you will soon recoup all the expenses spent on the business and get a clean and constant profit.

Disadvantages of the drinking water business

• The first significant disadvantage is a lot of competition in this area. A beginner, with only one idea and desire, without money, cannot break into such a difficult niche. Many firms have been specializing in this area for a long time and have been doing this business for many years.
• But do not despair, you must correctly analyze the demand and the level of competition in your city. Many firms sell defective goods, you will be able to stay and firmly gain a foothold in the market only by providing the consumer with a quality product at an affordable price.
• The second minus is the constant checks by the sanitary and epidemiological service of the conditions at your production and the quality of your products.
• Solid start-up capital. To start production, you will need an impressive amount of money. You can find partners for yourself, because it will be difficult for one to promote such a large-scale project.
• In general, competition is the main disadvantage this business, if you are sure that you can handle it, then I recommend that you try to bring this idea to life.

Drinking water production business plan

Experienced businessmen know that a well-written business plan is half the battle. Therefore, on initial stage I recommend that you do just that.

What should be displayed in a business plan?

First, it is necessary to determine the profitability of the idea. To do this, analyze the level of demand and competition in your locality.

Secondly, it is necessary to correctly distribute the available funds. To do this, you need to have clear data regarding the costs of the project. All this will be displayed in the financial section.

Thirdly, it is the payback period of the business. The plan should indicate the approximate payback period of the project, the receipt of the first profit. This is necessary in order to navigate and not deviate from a clear plan of action. Also, this item will be of interest to investors, people who will be ready to invest in your business.

Documents for opening the production of drinking water?

The first step towards opening a bottled water production facility is legal registration.

• IP or LLC? To begin with, it is worth registering with the tax office as a private entrepreneur (in the case of a sale) or as a legal entity if you are a water producer.
• Certificates from the fire service and SES on the compliance of the equipment with all norms and quality standards.
• Certificate of quality used in the production of water (issued by the sanitary and epidemiological service).
• Occupation License entrepreneurial activity(rental agreement for premises, equipment, your personal data). All documents must be notarized without fail.

Also, in the future, you will need to draw up agreements with water suppliers (if you do not produce it yourself), containers and other consumables.

Premises for rent

Your next step towards the implementation of the idea for the production of water will be the selection and rental of premises.

The area must meet the requirements and standards. Everything will depend on the volume of production.

The floor space includes:

• Place, area where water will be extracted (if it is included in the specifics of your enterprise);
• Separate rooms for liquid cleaning and spillage;
• Warehouse for storage of finished products
• Room for working staff.
• The premises must comply with all SES standards.

Location. It is best to rent a room outside the city, where rental prices are much lower, you can save a lot.

It is more profitable to open an enterprise for the production of drinking water in a big city, but due to the huge competition, you can try to find a profitable place near small settlements.

Equipment for the production of drinking water

In order to start production, you will need to purchase or rent equipment:

• For water purification (aeration system and dosing of reagents).
• For bottling
• Equipment for the manufacture of bottles (of course, this equipment is not necessary, you can do without it).

As an additional income, you can do recycling plastic bottles by purchasing the appropriate equipment for this. Watch from which you will learn all the nuances of this type of activity.

Bottled water production

If you decide to develop a business in this direction, then you will need to purchase equipment for the manufacture of bottles, as well as for washing them, because the container will be reusable.

How this process takes place, you can see in the video:

Water production technology:

1. Drilling of an artesian well;
2. Purification of water using special coal or sand filters;
3. Correction of the level of minerals;
4. Disinfection with ultraviolet rays;
5. Water ozonation
6. Pouring water into containers

Sale of drinking water as a business

Supply contracts are concluded with consumers directly if you are a water producer. If your specialization is only the sale of water, then you first need to conclude agreements with manufacturers. It is best to choose several options, check the quality of the products. To do this, you need to request samples and analyze the water quality in the laboratory. A very important criterion for any businessman is the purchase price. You need to choose the most suitable option in the price range.

Expenses

If your company is only engaged in the supply of drinking water to the house, then the costs will be as follows:

Room rental. You must rent a place where your products will be stored. For these purposes, any warehouse is suitable, even outside the city.

Transport. In order to deliver the goods, you will need to have vehicle. For these purposes, the most suitable option would be a gazelle. It is important that the car does not consume a lot of gasoline, so you should choose an economical and roomy option.

♦ Capital investments – 425,000 rubles.
♦ Payback – 7–10 months.

Real businessmen can do business out of anything, even out of thin air.

If you dream of joining the ranks of entrepreneurs, but you can’t decide what kind of activity to do, think about what people always and everywhere need?

These are food and, of course, water.

business on the water- easy to start, does not require large capital investments and quickly pays off.

The specifics of business on the water

In an unstable economic situation, it is quite difficult to find a business that would bring good money no matter what.

The business of selling drinking water just belongs to such types of entrepreneurial activity.

Today, companies supplying bottled water are experiencing a kind of boom, and experts predict that this trend will continue in the near future.

If you decide to join those who do business on the water, it will not be superfluous to learn about the features of this business sector:

1. The business, based on the production, bottling and delivery of drinking water, is recognized as one of the fastest growing.
   In the last year alone, its share in Russia has increased by more than 40%.
2. On average, one office employee consumes half a liter of water per day and about 10 liters per year.
   Just imagine how much money you can make if you develop a wide customer base.
3. The prices for drinking water and gasoline are not too different, but it is much easier to set up a water bottling company than an oil refinery.

Two business options on the water

If you want to do business on the water, you must decide what exactly your company will do, because there are two options for this type of entrepreneurial activity:

1. A plant that extracts water from a well, pours it into glass or plastic containers and delivers it to end customers.
2. Company for bottling and selling "foreign" water.

The first option is more expensive in terms of money and requires a lot of time to start, because you will need special equipment, qualified personnel, machinery, factory premises, the need to pay for expensive laboratory tests, and also special permits for extracting water from sources.

In addition, today it is quite difficult to find a free source of mineral or table water, which would not already be occupied by more efficient competitors.

If you do not have too much money, then it is better to start selling drinking water by concluding an appropriate agreement with the manufacturer.

This business can be done even by businessmen who do not have a large amount for start-up capital.

What should be the water to do business on it?

It doesn't take much effort to do something, much more is required to decide WHAT to do.
Elbert Hubbard

The business of selling bottled water is not as simple as it might seem at first glance.

Only water that complies with state standards is considered bottled, it is packed in hygienic containers and can be used by a person for drinking or cooking.

You can't just get tap water, bottle it up, and start delivering it to offices.

Wanting to save money, you will simply lose customers and destroy your business in the bud.

Drinking water should not contain more than 1% of various artificial additives (for example, flavors or essences).

If one of your clients conducts a chemical analysis of the drinking water supplied by you and finds out that it does not comply with GOST, then the least that can happen to you is the loss of a client, although everything can end up much worse, for example, by opening against you a criminal case on the fact of fraud.

The sale of drinking water cannot be carried out until you conclude an agreement with the manufacturer (a company that extracts water from wells) or purchase equipment that can completely purify water from harmful additives.

The first option is easier and cheaper for beginner businessmen.

Business on the water: advertising and customer search

The water selling business, like any other, needs good advertising, because the number of your customers depends on it, and, accordingly, the amount of profit.

1. In mass media.
2. With the help of outdoor advertising in places with high traffic.
3. Distribution of flyers and business cards.
4. AT social networks and on the Internet forum of your city.

Since the main customers of drinking water companies are offices, a good publicity stunt would be to bypass office space your city with a proposal to conclude an agreement with you for the supply of bottled water.

If you manage to get a few large customers who are satisfied with the quality of the water you supply, then word of mouth will advertise your water business in the future.

Calendar plan for starting a business on the water

It doesn't take long for you to start selling bottled drinking water.

Of course, you have to carry out the traditional stages of opening a business (registration, search for premises, purchase of equipment, hiring staff, advertising campaign etc.), but all this will not take more than 3-4 months with the right approach.

Stage	Jan	Feb	Mar	Apr
Registration
Contract with the manufacturer
Warehouse rent
Purchase of equipment and transport
Hiring
Advertising
Starting a business

Registration

You will not be able to conclude a formal contract with a drinking water producer until you legally register your business.

You can choose one of two forms (IP or LLC).

Both forms have both advantages and disadvantages.

The most acceptable form of taxation is UTII.

In addition, you will have to officially employ your employees (you will not be able to do business on the water on your own) and register a cash register.

room

Companies that deliver bottled water do not need luxurious offices, since you will communicate with customers mainly by phone, but what you will definitely need to worry about is a warehouse with an area of ​​​​at least 60 square meters.

It must be heated (the air temperature should not fall below +5 degrees) and air-conditioned (if the water is stored at a temperature higher than +20 degrees, then you risk dissatisfying customers by supplying them with warm water).

The location of your warehouse does not play a big role, the main thing is that it is not too far from your customers, otherwise you will incur high gas costs.

Its size depends on how many liters of water you are going to store in the warehouse and what volumes of supplies you are targeting.

You can negotiate with customers and accept applications directly from the warehouse by purchasing a minimum set of furniture and a telephone.

Equipment

In fact, the only thing you will have to spend a large amount on is the transport with which you will deliver drinking water.

If you are just starting to promote your business on the water, then it is quite enough to purchase one used "gazelle" for 300,000 rubles.

There is no need to equip a warehouse - bottles of water can be stored directly on the floor.

In addition to transport costs, there are some other equipment costs to expect:

Item of expenses	Qty	Cost (in rubles)	Total amount (in rubles)
Total:			100 000 rub.
Cash register	1	20 000	20
Telephone set	1	1 5000	1 5000
Mobile phone	1	5 000	5 000
Table	1	4 000	4 000
Chairs	3	2 000	6 000
Empty 20 l bottles	300	200	60 000
other			3 500

Staff

Many entrepreneurs, wanting to save money, want to do business on the water on their own (without assistants) or with only one assistant.

This is the wrong move.

Even at the initial stage, you should hire at least two team members: a driver and a forwarder.

You yourself will be able to take on administrative duties, taking orders, communicating with customers, bookkeeping.

In this case, the monthly cost of staff salaries will be as follows:

If your business starts to expand and you find that your employees cannot keep up with such a volume of orders for the delivery of drinking water, then you will have to purchase another car and hire another team consisting of a forwarder and a driver.

How much does it cost to open a business on the water?

The water selling business is not one of those start-ups that require a huge amount of money to start.

In fact, the biggest expense you have to incur is the purchase of a "gazelle" to deliver bottled water to homes and offices.

If you have such a car, then it is quite realistic to start doing business on the water, having only 100–125,000 rubles. starting capital.

If you don’t have a suitable car, then the amount of capital investment increases by another 300,000 rubles.

Don't forget the required monthly expenses that await entrepreneurs who decide to do business on the water.

Their amount will fluctuate at the level of 60,000 rubles:

How promising is the water business and how much can you earn on it,

see also in the video:

How much can you earn doing business on the water?

Experts estimate the profitability of the drinking water business at 15–25%. The purchase price of 1 liter of water is 2 rubles, but the selling price is 6-8 rubles.

That is, you buy a 20-liter bottle from the manufacturer for 40 rubles, and sell (let's take the average figures) for 140 rubles.

Let's say that you deliver 50 bottles a day and earn 7,000 rubles.

Your bottled water company operates with one day off a week, which means that in a month (given that you will have an average of 25 working days) you will earn 175,000 rubles.

Naturally, this is a "dirty" profit, because from this amount we need to subtract 50,000 rubles (purchase cost of water) and 60,000 rubles - the amount of expenses for servicing your business.

That is, you are left with a net profit of 65,000 rubles.

The amount of our capital investment (including the purchase of a car) was 425,000 rubles.

Earning 65,000 rubles a month, we can make our water business self-sustaining in 7-8 months if we do not spend too much time building a client base.

As you can see business on the water- a fairly cost-effective business that does not require any special knowledge, or the purchase of sophisticated equipment, or large investments.

To find out about all the stages that bottled water goes through before getting into our home or office, we went to the neighboring republic - to the Sestritsa drinking water plant.

So, today in the program: where water is produced, how it is bottled and the focus "How plastic bottles appear."

#02. Artesian water is extracted from a depth of 120 meters in the protected natural area of ​​the Arban water intake and is delivered to the plant through a plastic pipeline. The source itself was not shown to us, because. located in a protected area (therefore, it remains to believe in the word). In fact, I think there is nothing to see there, because the well and pipes are underground:


The wells themselves belong to MUP Vodokanal, Yoshkar-Ola

#03. At the inlet, the water passes through a series of filters - this is necessary in order to remove all small mechanical impurities (soil, sand, etc.) that could get in when it was taken from the well. Before the tour of the plant itself, we were given a lecture on the topic: Water and health. In short: drink water in the morning, afternoon and evening (about 2 liters per day) and you will be healthy. We are talking about raw water, room temperature:

#04. The director of the plant, Alexander Marushko, answered questions. The plant is a two-story building. On the first floor: receiving containers and pouring water into 19 liter bottles, and on the second floor, water is poured into small 0.5 and 1.5 liters.

#05. At the first stage: used bottles go to a special warehouse, while they are immediately sorted and up to 30% are rejected due to wear:

#06. The 19 liter bottles are made of high quality environmentally friendly polycarbonate and polyethylene, which do not affect the taste, color, odor or composition of the water.

#07. Then the employee manually checks each bottle: looks at the light, sniffs and checks the label. If something is wrong, for example, the bottle came from the previous owner with a foreign smell, then it goes into marriage:

#08. Bottles enter a special area (access to which is strictly limited) to avoid dust, etc.:

• Washing with an alkaline non-foaming solution at a temperature of 65%. A jet of water under high pressure washes away the main impurities. Concentration detergent supported automatically.
• Rinse with UV-treated water.
• Disinfection - within 18 seconds, each bottle is treated with an acidic disinfectant that is easily and completely washed off and environmentally friendly.
• Final rinse with ultraviolet treated water. After each stage, the bottles are blown with filtered air.

#ten. After each stage, it is mandatory to rinse the bottles with ultraviolet-purified water. Next - disinfection with a hydrogen peroxide-based agent. The concentration of detergent and disinfectant is maintained automatically.

#eleven. Everything is clean and tidy, so everyone was given hats, shoe covers and capes:

#12. Blog-tour to the plant for the production of water "Sister"

#thirteen. In the background are 4 charcoal filters through which water must pass. And then poured into cylinders. At the same time, the filling is contactless so as not to spoil the bottles:

#fourteen. At the final stage, all water is ozonated. Ozone has a disinfecting, disinfecting effect. Therefore, when opening the cylinder, there may be a specific smell (this is ozone), but literally after 30 seconds it disappears and the water no longer has a foreign smell. The ozonizer itself:

#fifteen. In the next step, bottlessealed and tagged:

#sixteen. The date of manufacture is given:

#17. And packed in packages:

#eighteen. Final control. Marriage should not leave the factory, it is marked and goes to the side:

#nineteen. Before the water is distributed to the branches, the water is stored in a warehouse and “listens” to classical music:

#20. A column in a warehouse from which the classics sound:

#21. Sister is charged with the positive energy of the best works of world classical music! Of course, there is no official evidence of the impact of music, but it will not be worse either:

#22. Next comes the loading on the car and the water is transported to: Yoshkar-Ola, Cheboksary, Kazan and Nizhny Novgorod:

#23. On the second floor of the plant, bottling is carried out in small bottles:

#24. Conveyor:

#25. And here is this interesting thing. I thought that small bottles are brought to the factory and water is poured into them. Nothing like this. The plant buys the following blanks:

#26. And from these preforms at a temperature of 200 degrees, the machine blows bottles of 0.5 and 1.5 liters: 4 bottles are produced in one blow:

#27. The rinsing of the bottles takes place in a sterile air environment. Each bottle is rinsed with UV treated water for at least 10 seconds.

#28. Sanitized bottles enter the bottling box, where a sterile environment is also maintained.

#29. And at the last stage, labeling is done:

#thirty. At the outlet, the bottles are grouped into 12 pcs (0.5l) and 6 pcs (1.5l) and packed in shrink film. Such a film does not form “bubbles” on the packaging and facilitates convenient transportation:

#31. Each batch is subject to mandatory laboratory testing:

#32. The plant has a small canteen. The cost of lunch is purely symbolic, for example, a salad is 5 rubles:

#33. Such devices are in Kazan, last year showed

#34. During lunch, employees can play table tennis:

#35. At the entrance, as expected, a stand with medals and other achievements:

Every year the demand for drinking water increases. Therefore, business on the water is relevant and promising. We will look at how to make money out of water: from the simplest ideas to large-scale production.

Drinking tap water is not possible in many regions. This problem is especially acute for residents of large cities, where drinking running water is harmful to health. Installed filters do not solve the problem, because they only purify water, but do not make it useful for the human body. The only way out is bottled water from natural sources, artesian wells.

Therefore, the Russians have long stopped drinking untreated running water, having felt the difference. Ordering water has become commonplace in almost all offices and businesses, and many families order water at home. After all, human health depends on the quality of water, and people do not save on health. The cost of bottled water is acceptable, and this product is in great demand. So the business on the water is a relevant and profitable business.

Every year the need for clean drinking water increases, and the number of consumers increases. Every third family in a big city has a bottled water cooler in their apartment. According to experts, about 65 million bottled water is sold in Moscow alone a year.

RBC experts predict that the annual growth of the drinking water market will be about 15-16%. At the moment, bottled water already accounts for 2/3 of the non-alcoholic products market. The service direction for the delivery of water in bottles of 5 and 19 liters to offices and private apartments is also developing at a faster pace. The growth of this market segment is 20-30% per year.

2020 trend. Intelligent entertainment business. Minimum investment. No additional deductions or payments. Turnkey training.

It is expected that the market will slow down its growth only by 2020, but this will require increasing the production capacity of water by 3-4 times. Therefore, there is still time to find your niche and enter the market.

But it should be taken into account that the competition in the drinking water market is already quite high. A novice in this business will have to fight for his clients. A simple price reduction will not solve the issue of competition: prices are already low, and there is no point in working at a loss. Therefore, if you decide to implement this idea, you will need a business plan to plan all stages of enterprise development: from determining the business format to methods of promotion on the market.

There are different ways to make money on the water. You can only engage in the extraction of water from a well, only cleaning, or only the delivery of water of other brands. There is also an option to open a point of sale of water for bottling or a water pavilion. There are a lot of options - it all depends on the structure of the market and the available capital. Minimum costs to open such a business will amount to 200 thousand rubles - this amount will be enough to organize a water delivery company or open a kiosk. If you want to establish a full cycle of water production - from extraction to delivery of products - then get ready for more significant costs.

Let's try to figure out how much a business on the water costs and what it will take. Let's start with the simplest format, which will require minimal investment.

Sale of drinking water through vending machines

Selling drinking water through vending machines is an interesting and relatively new idea. People are used to buying hot drinks and snacks in vending machines, then why not sell drinking water for bottling? Vending allows you to reduce the cost of 1 liter of water by 4 times. Therefore, with the help of such a system, you can reduce prices and attract buyers. In addition, for a competitive market, this option seems to be one of the most suitable. According to experts, this niche is free in 80% of Russian cities.

How the system works

The machine has a water tank. The buyer brings the container with him, makes the necessary amount of money, substitutes a bottle and draws water. Everything is simple. Water vending machines have an anti-vandal housing, a tank with a supply of water, a filling system for consumer containers, as well as a cash and card payment system.

By means of a billing system for remote access, you can monitor the operation of the machine. The data reflects the history of collections, the amount accumulated in the machine. Through this system, it is possible to block the machine, monitor the temperature in the machine and receive information about the state of the equipment.

Ready-made ideas for your business

The range of machines is quite wide. They differ in design and performance (from 750 to 3000 liters / day). The machines can function stably at temperatures from -30 to +35 °C. Finding a manufacturer and purchasing equipment is not difficult. The average cost of one vending machine is 180 thousand rubles.

Maintaining the device is easy if you do everything on time. Basically, the service consists in replacing the cartridge once every six months and replacing the sterilizer (once a year).

What are the features of vending trade in water

The income of a vending machine significantly depends on a good location.

Places for installing vending machines with water:

in the courtyards of residential complexes;

in crowded places from stops to residential buildings;

at the points of "exit" from the road to the sleeping area;

in actively visited stores, shopping malls, in the markets;

in the hallways of apartment buildings.

The number of installed devices must be correlated with the number of potential buyers: approximately one machine per five high-rise buildings. You need to make sure that there is always water in the machine, otherwise you will lose some of your customers.

Despite the fact that the main advertising engine is the successful location of devices, it is necessary to consider other options for promotion. For example, you can distribute leaflets, place advertisements in elevators and on bulletin boards, leave promotional leaflets in mailboxes, and brightly decorate the machine itself so that it attracts the attention of passers-by.

What costs should be taken into account when planning

This business, like any other, has its pitfalls. For a water bottling kiosk, there are many costs that are not obvious at first glance, but eat up a significant share of the budget. Therefore, when drawing up a business plan and budgeting, it is recommended to take into account the following costs:

transportation costs for the delivery of equipment. Some equipment manufacturers do not include the cost of its delivery in the general price tag. It is necessary to discuss this moment with the manufacturer before signing the contract and choose cooperation with those who are geographically located closer in order to minimize transport costs. Their value can be significant and depends on the mileage, the amount of equipment supplied and other factors;

transport costs for the delivery of water. You should also consider how water will be delivered from the manufacturer to the point of sale. For this, water carriers are used. The cost of such a car is 5 million rubles. If you organize a mini-business selling drinking water, there is no need to purchase an expensive car, but you should immediately find out from the manufacturer: at whose expense and under what conditions water is delivered to the point of sale. There is a possibility that you will be responsible for some of the shipping costs.

equipment maintenance costs, incl. sanitation of water storage tanks. The frequency of sanitation is established by the Production Control Program. According to the norms, it is necessary to wash the kiosks once every two months. This is enough to keep the water in the tank clean and safe. The tank is treated in a non-contact way using a special CIP cleaning device designed for internal cleaning of pipe tanks without the need for disassembly. The cost of such equipment is 140 thousand rubles. You can also contact cleaning companies that provide industrial sanitation services. The cost of services can be clarified by sending an application on the website of the cleaning company.

kiosk installation and landscaping around the kiosk. In order to install a kiosk, it is necessary to carry out work on pouring the foundation. The cost of installation will be, on average, 15 thousand rubles, including the cost of landscaping the adjacent territory.

connection to the mains. Since electricity is required to operate the kiosk, you should budget for the cost of connecting to the power grid. These expenses will amount to approximately 10 thousand rubles.

How much can a water kiosk earn

The cost of 1 liter of water in a kiosk is slightly higher than in a vending machine. On average, 5 liters of water will cost the buyer 50 rubles. Based on the fact that such a kiosk can sell up to 1000 liters of water per day, the monthly revenue of 1 kiosk will be about 200 * 50 * 30 = 300 (thousand rubles). Given the cost of drinking water and all additional costs, the business will pay off within a year.
