In a financial crisis, when the number of jobs is declining, but at the same time the consumer and service sectors remain in demand, ideas or even businesses from scratch occupy the minds of ordinary citizens.

The desire to find opportunities for additional income is an important reason for searching for activities without capital investments. The benefit of such a business can be considered a minimal amount of risks, and if a person believes that he is strong in some area, then this will serve as an additional guarantee of the success of the new endeavor.

Business from scratch - does it happen?

No, such a business does not exist. In any case, you will have to invest:

1. Education.
2. If there is no education, time.
3. And, in any case, great enthusiasm.

There is a point of view that all the proposed ideas for beginners are not a business, but a craft. But there are no other options with a zero start. If there is no money for hired workers, you have to be your own hired worker. And only with the growth of your business, your own skills, abilities and income, will it be possible to delegate some of your functions to someone else. Moreover, very often even “grown” small-scale businessmen are forced to create an adequate replacement for themselves over the years. This is the specificity of small business. Small business is a way of life. To dream that in a couple of years the gears will turn without any of your participation is at least naive.

This material contains proven ideas in which you can still find your niche. Think about what your highlight is among the masses of the same, and go ahead. Each of these ideas fits perfectly into the “low start” requirements.

This article will be dedicated to providing detailed answers to these questions!😀

⭐️ Checked!
In Russia (and the CIS) starting your own business is much simpler and easier than for residents of developed countries in Europe, the USA...

Please note that according to statistics, about 70% of successful entrepreneurs practically started their own business from scratch! I am proof of this myself. Having an initial capital (especially a large one) is not always necessary!

The main thing is presence desires, and everything else will follow!

Imagine, with the help of your business you will be able to work for yourself, and not for “your uncle”, not need money and spend more time not on work, but on your family and hobbies! You will have freedom!

Not to mention that doing your own thing is very interesting and, in addition, it will allow you to realize yourself!

By the way, we also recommend reading the article in which we have collected the most current ideas in the field of production: ?. From it you will learn about many popular and profitable niches in manufacturing, including those in which competition is still low (now is the time to take them)!

So, from this article you will also learn:

• Which business idea to choose for a small town?
• How can you start your own business from scratch?
• What mistakes do new entrepreneurs often make and how to avoid them?

Let's not delay - let's go!👇

1. Why is it important to start a business with minimal investment?

First What you need to understand is that any business starts with small! In the beginning, all you need is to find out whether the business idea will be in demand in your city, i.e. will it pay off and bring in money!

Therefore, at first no need to invest all your money (especially if you don’t have many of them) into a business idea - especially if you are still a “newbie” in business. In the first stages you should have only the most necessary what it takes to make your business work!

For example, many people start their own business right at home, in the garage, in the country, on the Internet... - there is nothing unusual about this!

⭐️ The point is that the most Great risks of failure arise precisely at the discovery stage business, so first try to minimize your investment as much as possible. Because until you try, you won’t know whether this business idea will be profitable.

If you have very little money or practically none, then choose business ideas that only require an investment of your time (there are some - usually this is the service industry)! Some of these business ideas from scratch will be described in this article!

Now about second important aspect : no matter how it is, any business primarily exists due to sales Without sales there is no cash flow and therefore no business!

Therefore, when creating your own business, you need to seriously think about how you will sell your products/services. Many novice entrepreneurs do not think this through, and then wonder why the business “doesn’t work”!

❗️ « Sales“This is the primary task when starting any business. You can produce the best products/services, but if no one knows about them, then such a business will be of little use. Think about it!

You can only forget a little about sales only when you already have regular customers who appreciate what you do and will not exchange you for competitors.

And from this it follows third principle - for a business to be successful, you need to do your job well, and for this you need love what you do ! This is why it is so important to choose a business you like!

Be sure to read more about these and other important details of the “correct” opening and running of your business towards the end of the article! Will you find a lot of useful things!?

By the way, about how easy it is to register an individual entrepreneur -. And if you are planning to open an LLC -.

Now let's finally move on to business ideas that are usually great for a small town!🙂

2. Business ideas with minimal investment in a small town: TOP-30 proven ideas

There are really a lot of business ideas - you can’t count them in one article, but we tried to select the most relevant ones for you and with minimal investment!

Of course, one article is not enough for a very detailed description of each of the ideas (and you probably won’t be interested in reading everything 😀), so we will provide the basic and most valuable information.

Thus, the main thing in this business is:

• find a suitable place (sales outlet from 8 to 40 sq. meters );
• negotiate supplies with window manufacturers;
• Find a measurer and window installers.

Moreover, measurers and installers often receive piecework wages - based on completed orders!

Your main expenses will be for rent and equipment of the premises.

Although the competition in this niche is usually above average, it is nevertheless more than possible to open a successful business!

💡An example of a successful business!
In our city (about 100 thousand population) they very successfully opened a small office (total about 10-15 sq. m) selling installation of windows, as well as roller shutters, suspended ceilings...

But the most important thing is that it was opened right next to a large building materials store - that is, where there is a direct target audience! Accordingly, some of the clients who came to buy building materials order windows from them (by the way, I am no exception, I was also their client😀).

Yes, and if you do not have your own suitable vehicle for delivering windows, then you can use the services of cargo carriers.

Business idea No. 7: Stock and second-hand clothing stores

Many people have a desire to buy quality clothes, but most people cannot afford it.

Therefore, more and more stores are appearing that sell fashionable and branded clothing mainly from Europe at discounted prices (stock and second-hand stores).

Stock stores offer discounted collections from previous seasons, and second-hand stores offer seemingly new clothes (without visible wear), but which have already been used.

This is a great idea for a small town, since competition in this area is usually very low.

☝️Note!
To open this business, a premises with an area of from 30 to 100 sq. meters. It is important that the store is located in a public place.

You also need to carefully select clothing suppliers in order to create a suitable assortment. Suppliers, by the way, sell clothes in bags (usually from 20 kg) at a price from 100 to 500 rubles/kg .

This is a very profitable business that does not require large investments and pays off fairly quickly!

Business idea No. 8: Mini bakery

Another great business idea is opening your own mini-bakery.

Nowadays, bakeries are very popular among the population and all because there you can always buy fresh baked goods for every taste.

Even in small towns, a mini-bakery can bring in a good income, since competition here is usually low.

☝️ If you choose a suitable premises (so as not to invest a lot of money in its reconstruction and especially construction from scratch), then you can invest within 200-300 t.r.

Average cost of one wash 250-600 rub.(depending on the city), cost is about 100-250 rubles. Total average income 150-300 rub. from one sink .

The income of a car wash directly depends on the location, so you need to take this seriously and analyze the main busy routes near hypermarkets, residential areas and choose a place with the highest traffic flow and optimal rent.

Also, additional services will increase the profitability of the car wash:

• car polishing,
• interior cleaning.

Payback 2-3 months - depends on the flow of customers, give discounts to regular customers.

Business idea No. 12: Hair salon

Hairdressing salons are very popular and in demand among the population. In addition, large investments are not required to organize such a business.

Despite the fact that competition in this area is usually great, there are still “blank spots” on the city map where you can profitably open a hairdressing salon.

Example!
In our city, 2-3 years ago, they opened a chain of hairdressing salons, which began to position themselves as budget ones (that is, aimed exclusively at an audience that tries to save on everything). It was this positioning that became their key to success!

This is about why in business it's important to be different !

It is better to place a hairdresser in a residential complex or shopping center, in general there is traffic there and at the same time the rent is not too high.

By the way, hairdressing salons are often opened by people who themselves have completed courses/training to become a hairdresser. In this case, you don’t even need to look for employees at first.

A mini-hairdressing salon for 2 places can be opened in just from 150 thousand rubles. Investments mainly involve:

• Costs of renting premises;
• Purchase of necessary equipment (hairdressing tools);
• Purchase of furniture (chairs, mirrors, tables...);
• Decoration of a hairdressing salon.

Optimal markup size 200-250 percent , the main expenses will go to rent and employee salaries.

Payback period is from 3 to 4 months in case of successful organization of the business.

Business idea No. 13: Children's playground

Many parents often have no one to leave their child with under supervision. A children's play area is an excellent and inexpensive solution to this problem.

In addition, opening a children's playground is much easier (and cheaper) than organizing a private kindergarten.

❗️ On average, it will take from 200 thousand rubles Costs will mainly be required for the purchase of rope ladders, bungees and rental.

Average ticket price from 100 to 300 rubles .

Rope parks can be located both outdoors and indoors. Outdoor rope parks, that is, in nature, are in great demand.

The costs of opening a ropes course indoors are usually higher.

— Direction 6 — Business on the Internet

💡 The good thing about the Internet is that it erases boundaries and therefore it doesn’t matter what city/town you live in! Plus, the Internet is a great place to start a business from scratch!

Business idea No. 26: Business on the Avito site

Avito is currently the largest free classifieds platform in Russia, which is visited by millions of people every day. Almost everything is sold and bought here!

It often even happens that for a business, Avito is the most important source of sales, and in most cases it is free. That is, the biggest advantage of Avito is that here you can build a business without any investments at all.

There are 3 main directions on how you can make money on Avito:

• sell goods wholesale and retail (both new and used);
• provide services (what you know how to do);
• engage in mediation (find clients for business and take your remuneration for this).

⭐️ Personal example!
By the way, I started with option 2: I was looking for clients, working for myself on average 2-3 hours a day (about 10 days a month) and earning approximately 15-30 thousand rubles per month , at the same time I still had a lot of free time!

In my opinion, this is an excellent alternative to hired work.

But not only for private owners, but also for businesses, Avito is a powerful source of attracting customers. Many simply hire people who submit dozens and even hundreds of free advertisements a day (the more advertisements, the more calls, the more sales).

Here is an example of how even students managed to get out of debt and earn 300 thousand only with the help of Avito:

As for mediation, this is also a fairly profitable line of business. All you need to do is submit advertisements (find clients) and agree on a partnership with those who already own a certain business.

Business idea No. 27: One-page websites (dropshipping)

Another very popular online business idea today is selling goods through dropshipping through a special website - a one-page landing page.

In this case, you will also not need a large investment, since you do not need to have goods in stock - all goods will be sent directly from the supplier to your customer. In this case, you will make a profit from the markup on the product.

To do this, you will need to find the best-selling products (best sellers, usually sold for 990-2990 rubles), select several of them, create one-page pages for them and set up advertising (in social networks, teaser networks, contextual advertising, YAN...).

Some people, instead of one-page websites, open groups on VKontakte and other social networks and sell goods through them.

However, in this case it is very important to be able to work effectively with advertising (or find such a specialist), because it is the only source of sales.

Business idea No. 28: Information website

Another common type of business without investment on the Internet is the creation and promotion of information sites on a specific topic.

The topic can be almost any - besides, if you already like a certain area and are already well versed in it, then it is best to choose this topic (for example, cooking, tourism, construction, finance, gardening...).

❗️ The bottom line is that you create a website (you can create it yourself within 1-2 days), register the domain name of the site (usually costs from 99 rub.) and place it on hosting ( ≈150 RUR/month). However, these are all costs (if you do everything else yourself)!

Next, you write articles on popular topics for people, thus helping people understand certain issues. For those who do not want to write articles themselves, you can hire copywriters on freelance exchanges who will write custom articles for you for a fee.

As soon as the first users appear, it will be possible to connect advertising (for example, from Yandex Direct or Google Adsense) and receive income.

Over time, site traffic will grow, and along with this, your income will grow. Thus, by doing what you love and sharing useful information with readers, you can earn money.

In addition, you can buy a ready-made website that already generates income (for example, on the Tender platform - telderi.ru). You can also sell your websites here!

Business idea No. 29: Online store

Today, literally everything is sold via the Internet: from pens to large-sized equipment.

In addition, there is a clear trend that more and more people prefer to buy goods online.

An online store, unlike the same one-page websites, is aimed at selling not 1-2 products, but a whole group of products.

⚡️ Opening your own online store is much cheaper and easier than a regular store in the city. At first, it is not even necessary to have goods in stock and your own warehouse (you can work through dropshipping).

And, in my opinion, it’s even stupid to spend a lot of money on purchasing goods and a warehouse if you don’t yet have a built-in sales flow.

In general, 2 things are important here: SEO website promotion in search engines and competent advertising setup. If you are not familiar with them, then it is better to find a trusted specialist.

By the way, the well-known Yandex Market platform can also be an excellent source of sales.

Business idea No. 30: Infobusiness

Information business is the sale of valuable information via the Internet, that is, training for money.

By the way, the information business is one of the most profitable businesses in the whole world that you can start from scratch.

☝️ Information businessmen can earn hundreds and millions of rubles by simply sharing useful information with people.

4. The most common mistakes of novice entrepreneurs - TOP 7

Many novice entrepreneurs do not fully understand how a business works and, accordingly, often make mistakes when opening it.

Therefore, I decided to write a short section in which I highlighted the most common mistakes of novice businessmen. I really hope that this information will be valuable to you:?

Mistake #1:

Fear of competition. Don't be afraid of competition - having competitors is good! Firstly, this means that goods/services in this niche are in good demand. Secondly, there is an opportunity to evaluate competitors (their strengths and weaknesses) and gain valuable experience. Thirdly, competition forces you to grow your business!

Mistake #2:

Take out loans and borrowings. If you are starting a business for the first time in your life, then you certainly should not take out various loans and borrowings. Do you still have not enough experience! It’s a completely different matter if you’ve already been in business for more than one year and understand how it works from the inside.

Mistake #3:

It is not correct to prioritize in business. Let me remind you once again that business is not your personal office and not the status of “CEO”, but this is primarily sales! Everything else is add-on. This is especially important to understand when you are just building your business!

Mistake #4:

Sell ​​something no one has heard of. Many newcomers to business think that they can make good money by selling some new product that is not yet on the market. This is partly true, but many ignore the fact that 8 out of 10 new products fail !

If you have experience and money, then please! But if you are just starting your first business, and you don’t have much money to test different niches and suffer losses at first, then this is not for you!

Mistake #5:

Act like everyone else (do not be different). You need to understand that consumers primarily strive for those entrepreneurs who offer them “maximum benefit.”

But consumers are also different - each of them has their own interests: some want cheaper, others better quality, others generally care about speed (of production, delivery...), etc.

Therefore, your task is to understand what exactly your “target audience” wants most and give them this maximum value.

Try to imagine "portrait" your client and think about how you can improve your product/service to differentiate yourself from your competitors!

💡 For example, even if you sell the same thing as your competitors, you can offer better service (customer attitude), expand product range, do fast/free shipping…

Mistake #6:

Sell ​​low-quality services/products. Trying to make a quick buck selling low-quality goods and services will not lead you anywhere good! Treat others as yourself and you will easily be able to build a successful business.

Mistake #7:

Don't know how to delegate. Being a jack of all trades and understanding all the nuances of your business is good, but only for the time being. Business should not become a place for you where you spend 24 hours a day!

At first, while the business is not yet strong and is at the development stage, it may be better to do everything yourself.

But when it already brings in a stable income, try to find the right people whom you can trust and delegate some of your responsibilities!

☝️ Important!
Business, like everything else, should be a joy and take up only part of your time, not your whole life!🙂

And finally: even if you make certain mistakes, perceive them as incredibly valuable experience, learn from them! As a rule, only those who do nothing do not make mistakes!😀

5. Conclusion

I hope now you are convinced that opening your own business with minimal investment or from scratch is very possible!

Once again, a guaranteed way to succeed in business is really love business what you are doing, then you won’t be afraid of any competitors! Plus, then you will never “work” again, but will only do what you like!

At the end of the article, I suggest you watch a short video:

I wish you good luck and success in opening your future business!👍

Friends, leave your opinion in the comments below! I will also be very grateful if you rate this article and share it with your friends on social networks!😀👇

Today, tens of thousands of people are looking for business ideas without investment on the Internet. But if you don’t lie, then you can’t start a business without any investments. But we tried to select ten interesting business ideas that require little money, accessible to most of our fellow citizens (even students and alcoholics). What was taken beyond the permissible limit was... a thousand rubles! True, many of these undertakings will require considerable labor costs. Well, and the presence of some means of production.

No. 1. Atelier at home or custom bow ties

If you have a sewing machine, your arms grow from a place closer to your head than to your legs, and you do not only cross-stitch, then this idea will suit you. And you can even spend a thousand rubles on the purchase of materials (fabric and thread). After all, you have a machine? Well, we’ll deal with advertising in the currently fashionable way - creating a group, public pages on social networks VKontakte, Facebook (less competition), as well as on thematic sites dedicated to fashion. You can do not just adjusting clothes or hemming curtains, but also sewing bow ties, ties and handkerchiefs, which is quite fashionable now. And you can have your own 10-30 thousand rubles of net income per month. Not bad for a student.

Labor costs
Advantages- Stability of earnings, quick start.
Flaws

No. 2. Mobile computer administrator

Do you know how to reinstall Windows? Do you know how to install an antivirus in ten minutes and what safe mode is? Can you imagine how to connect a mouse to a computer? No, you are not an administrator yet, but you can become one. It is advisable to have a laptop at hand. And also the effort to place dozens of advertisements on sites ranging from aggregators like Avito to social networks. Yes, you will find clients quickly. The cost of one visit, depending on labor costs, is 1 - 5 thousand rubles (possibly more). The flow of clients has begun - don’t refuse anyone, connect your friends who also understand this topic. Monthly income can be 30-60 thousand rubles.

Labor costs- about 3-9 hours a day, depending on the number of orders and the success of promotion.
Advantages- zero investment, a large number of potential clients.
Flaws- High density of competition; you really need to understand the topic.

No. 3. Food delivery to offices

This is where your culinary skills will come in handy. With the starting capital (1 thousand rubles) it is quite possible to buy ingredients for a set lunch for 8-10 people - just enough to feed a standard office. Based on 150-180 rubles per serving. Yes. Delivered lunches are not such a high-margin business. But you can fully count on your 25-40 thousand rubles a month. And if you also involve other “culinarians”...

Labor costs- about 4 hours a day depending on the number of orders.
Advantages- there will be clients for sure.
Flaws- it is necessary to conduct a real advertising “campaign” to attract customers in office centers.

No. 4. Photographer for anything

Do you have a good camera and a desire to take photographs? Don't your photos make your friends gag? You can become a photographer! Photo sessions, photo sets, erotic photography, love story, wedding photographer and much more: everything is in your hands. Proficiency in Photoshop is highly desirable! But the work is quite free and multifaceted. It’s better not to cooperate with the media - they pay frankly little. Monthly earnings range from 30 to 150 thousand rubles. You will have to do a lot of self-promotion.

Labor costs- from 1 to 12 hours a day. It all depends on the flow of clients!
Advantages- zero investment.
Flaws- you need to be a real professional in this matter, otherwise dissatisfied clients and competitors will do something bad to you.

No. 5. Husband/wife for an hour

More than 28% of families in Russia are single-parent. Moreover, if women need a strong male shoulder, then men lack comfort in their homes (and cleanliness). This type of business is not prostitution at all (or whatever you are thinking about). But to help women assemble this strange wardrobe not from Ikea, fix the bed, faucet, replace the wallpaper... Or tidy up the apartment of single men. Yes, there really is a demand for such services. The average bill is 1000-1500 rubles. Monthly income can reach 60-70 thousand rubles.

Labor costs- 2-3 hours a day.
Advantages- business without investment.
Flaws- you really need to be able to do something with your hands.

No. 6. Vkontakte community

Do you consider yourself an advertising guru, your posts are liked by friends and strangers, and in an attempt to avoid the flow of news from your feed, your acquaintances unfollow you? Then perhaps you should try yourself as a cool SMM person. Your income (let's look realistically) can range from 10 to 200 thousand rubles per month, depending on the activity of the audience and the number of participants in the group.

Labor costs- 1-10 hours a day.
Advantages- complete absence of investments, flexible schedule.
Flaws- you must be a really cool SMM person.

No. 7. real estate agency in its own right.

Searching for advertisements on city websites and open advertising platforms, a sea of ​​“positive” from clients, the need to get discounts, preferences and the eternal search for buyers or sellers - all this and much more you can get by working as a realtor. Oh yes, dozens of calls are waiting for you. Get ready to be sent. But you will gain enormous experience in direct sales and handling objections.

Labor costs- from 5 to 12 hours a day.
Advantages- you will definitely meet the thousand rubles and learn how to sell. Income per month can be about 30 - 80 thousand rubles.

No. 8: Manicure at home

If you are a girl and are into manicure (or false nails) and have experimented with your friends, then you can be advised to open a beauty salon at home. For a thousand rubles, just buy expensive varnishes from Tiffany and or false nails. Feel like a cosmetologist!

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

No. 9 Loaders on call

Everyone always needs strong guys. And really for everyone - from private clients who just want to transport a piano, to small, medium and large companies that periodically or one-time need to lift, move something, and so on.

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

First, you look for people who can perform these duties. The good thing is that no one will require special education or a license for such work. With these people, whose informal base can constantly change and be supplemented, you agree on a piece-rate payment option.

At a minimum, the business is ready after this. You simply look for orders and implement them. However, this method will be too superficial and will not bring good income.

It would be better to open an individual entrepreneur and open a current account. After all, if you plan to work with organizations, the invoice will help you avoid difficulties. Firms don’t like cash too much, otherwise there will be somewhere to transfer your payment.

Now, a little about how to search for orders. After all, without orders there is no point in all activities. There are several standard and simplest options:

1. We go to the World Wide Web and look for any organizations in our city. And then we simply call ahead and offer our services right now and for the future. You must leave your contact information. We warn you right away that the exhaust from cold ringing will be small. But it will. On average, 100-200 calls will provide you with one order. And then - progressively. Someone will remember you if necessary, someone will take note.
2. Simple announcements on boards and social networks. You can't go anywhere without this. Let your company's contacts be visible. Usually people do not hesitate to call at the slightest need, if only to find out the price.

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

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

No. 10 SMS informing parents about their children’s school attendance

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

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

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

The question arises - how to come to an agreement with parents and with the educational institution itself. Actually, it's not that complicated. School management will be interested in installation if two conditions are met. First, equipment for the school will be free. Secondly, at least some parents will support the idea.

It will be possible to reach an agreement with the parents if you immediately explain that this is a voluntary matter. And that no one will take extra from them. Only pay for the SMS messages themselves. In that case, many will agree that being aware of your child’s movements for a small fee is a good idea.

Business will naturally require investments, but, which is very good, small and quickly recouped. So, the equipment itself for one point will cost approximately 20 thousand. One card will cost 30 rubles. Cards can be issued to parents on bail. For example, 100 rubles. But this is precisely a deposit, not a purchase.

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

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

After launch, you will need to organize your work so that you can respond in a timely manner to changes in parents’ mobile phone numbers to which notifications will be sent. You can also quickly and inexpensively replace lost and broken children’s cards.

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

No. 11 Sale of bottled milk

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

To start, you can purchase a barrel, for example, 500 liters. And these will be the only significant costs. If you are trying to save money, then it is more profitable to consider selling barrels from hand rather than from the manufacturer. In this case, you can spend 50-70 thousand rubles.

This barrel easily clings to the car and is easily transported from place to place. If you do not have a car, you can include someone in the scheme who can transport it by agreeing on a fixed amount for the trip.

The next main step is to find a supplier. This could be any farmer who is not too far away. The scheme of working with him is simple - every morning you take milk from him and make a payment on the spot.

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

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

What you will need from the documentation:

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

It’s better to rent a place near the market, or get permission from the city administration for a specific location.

Labor costs- about 8 hours a day

Advantages- Demand for the product is constant

Flaws- Lots of permissions required

No. 12 Rent of 4-wheeled bicycles

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

Park areas, embankments in cities, and recreational areas may be suitable for business. As for the price, on average, a Chinese-made velomobile will cost about 50 thousand rubles. However, there is a cheaper way - to find a craftsman who would make custom-made wheels himself. There is nothing complicated about this. But, of course, you have to look.

For those who have very limited funds, the option of installments or a loan may be suitable.

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

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

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

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

Labor costs- about 4-6 hours a day

Advantages- Wide audience
Flaws- In large cities there is already high competition + seasonality

#13 Freight transportation without costs

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

In fact, there are a lot of drivers who could respond to your request. This is due to the fact that searching for customers is not the most pleasant experience and many limit themselves to simply advertising the opportunity to hire themselves with their own transport. Not everyone gets into the advertising jungle either.

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

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

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

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

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

Labor costs- full time on the phone

Advantages- Standing orders
Flaws- High density of competition.

No. 14 Sale of berries and fruits from Thailand

At first glance, the idea may seem strange. After all, we have not been living behind the Iron Curtain for a long time. And trips to exotic places, where you can enjoy such things, are not so outrageously unattainable. However, in an era of economic crisis, as statistics show, many people prefer to postpone their vacation until the future. And in fact, a very large percentage of the population does not travel outside our country.

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

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

The price at which you will sell products in Russia will have to consist of several factors. For example, customs costs, production costs, buyer's fees, and postal interest will be affected. But the most important thing is the time it takes for the product to deteriorate. The smaller it is, the greater the percentage of markup on the price tag you will need to add. Because the loss of part of the goods in such a business is an inevitable fate.

The assortment can be completely diverse, unlike in a store, where you often won’t find anything other than a couple of items. So, you can start selling the following dishes:

• Durian
• Pomelo
• Coconut
• Banana
• Rambutan
• A pineapple
• Darogonfruit
• Mango
• Guava
• Mangosteen
• Jackfruit
• Longkong
• passion fruit
• Chempedak
• Tamarind
• Salak
• Tangerine
• Sapodilla
• Papaya

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

No. 15 Sale of waste from production and expired products

A strange idea for making money nevertheless has a completely working scheme behind it. The fact is that many food products, when they expire, are simply disposed of. Naturally, factories and companies that have to throw away a product that has not passed the sales stage spend some money on these processes. It is necessary to pay for transportation, disposal itself, and the work of the people involved in this matter. Naturally, it would be more profitable for them to get rid of these expenses if someone took away or bought such products.

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

Therefore, your task is to find a “supplier” of such products. If you go to the factory, you may encounter a refusal. Because, alas, some productions use an expired product, breaking it down into ingredients, which are subsequently mixed into a new fresh batch of the same product.

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

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

Once a supplier is found, it will not be difficult to find a buyer. A small price for your product will help with this. Start with advertisements on profile portals. You can also visit farms in person to reach an agreement. Over time, regular customers will participate in this scheme.

Labor costs- about 8 hours a day

Advantages- Low cost of goods
Flaws- Graphic density

No. 16 Cosmetic repairs of apartment building entrances

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

Finding a person who can perform certain construction and repair work will not be difficult. If you don’t have such friends among your friends, look for advertisements, there are a lot of them now. To begin with, a small staff of 2-3 people will be enough.

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

After this, all that remains is to find the housing office that needs a brigade and discuss the conditions with it. It is important to enter into a contract once the terms have been agreed upon so that you can receive payment. Part of the funds will go to pay your team, and part will go to you.

As an addition to this business or its expansion, you can make money by transporting and delivering building materials.

Labor costs- Constant communication in person and by phone
Advantages- Standing orders
Flaws- Competition and bureaucracy

No. 17 Dry fog as a remedy for odors

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

The dry fog sprayer is not bulky at all. Like a vacuum cleaner, it can be carried with one hand. The cost of such a unit varies between 20-30 thousand rubles.

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

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

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

Another important detail is the raid. It can form when a mist suspension settles. Therefore, you should remember safety precautions when covering important elements with film.

Prices for services are usually based on area. The larger the room where you want to remove the smell, the higher the price tag for the procedure.

Advantages- Low competition
Flaws- Difficult search for clients

No. 18 Sale of waste from livestock farms

We have already discussed the possibility of making money by selling expired products from food production to farmers. But from these same farmers you can also find goods for subsequent sale to another buyer.

We are talking about animal waste products from farms. They are usually stored close to the farm itself. Of course, there are those who do the export and sale themselves, but not everyone can devote the time.

In order to transport waste from the “supplier” to the customer, you will first need a suitable truck. There are several options here. Firstly, in the village located next to the farm there may be a suitable vehicle. And together with the driver. And given that in villages the income level is usually lower than in the city, payment can be easily negotiated.

Secondly, you can buy a car yourself. Moreover, a supported one is best suited. Because you will be transporting manure and because there is no point in spending large sums on a new car from the very beginning of the business.

After the issue with the vehicle is resolved, you will need to negotiate directly with the farmer, who always has the goods in stock. And since without such offers the farmer has to remove the waste himself, it will not be difficult to come to an agreement with him.

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

The last step is to find a buyer. Such waste is good as fertilizer for plants. Therefore, the main audience to target is the owners of crop farms and summer residents. In the second case, you can park a car with manure on the necessary days directly at the entrance to the dacha communities. Then the clients themselves will ask you about the cost of the manure you sell. Or you can use standard methods - posting advertisements and the Internet.

According to statistics, the cost of one manure truck varies between 2000 rubles. In successful cases, more than one truck of manure can be sold in a day.

Labor costs- Full time work

Advantages- There are always suppliers
Flaws- "Dirty job

No. 19 Meeting people during quests

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

The gaming environment and new sensations always encourage closer cooperation even between complete strangers. Therefore, the idea deserves attention. Naturally, the search for potential clients in this case is primarily carried out via the Internet. And even if, during the process of playing the game in real time, people did not have the opportunity to find a partner, a good time will not leave them in a bad mood. Clients will still be happy.

Advantages- Combination of two popular ideas
Flaws- Competition

No. 20 Advertising on your own windows

We have all become accustomed to seeing advertising everywhere - from newspapers to street advertisements on banners and even simple poles. Advertising today is the engine of any business and advertisers are constantly looking for new effective platforms. This means that finding a client among those who need to place their advertisement is a matter of time and desire.

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

There is no point in describing how to find a client; first of all, you need to be able to offer and not be afraid to communicate. But for those who lack such skills, there is an easier way to unobtrusively sell their place. You can organize a small billboard where, before an advertisement from a specific company or person appears, your inscription about the sale of this very advertising space will hang.

It all depends on your creativity. Alternatively, you can write popular words: “your advertisement may be here.” And it’s natural to add a telephone number under this slogan. In this case, there is a high probability that the client will find you himself. Especially if the place you are offering is really well suited, that is, it is viewed from the outside and will be visible to a large number of people.

Labor costs- Almost not

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

Doing what you love and making a good profit is the cherished desire of a beginning entrepreneur. Whether an enterprise will prosper depends on the correct choice of a niche in the market and movement strategy, on an innovative approach to building a business model for the enterprise.

Home Business Ideas

1. A relevant project in modern conditions is the provision of financial advice to the population - people are interested in issues of rational use of funds, acquiring cheap loans, and profitable investments.
2. A good option for a small business may be to create your own website for selling goods or providing services. The development of this project to generate more income will be profitable, but a separate type of income can be the promotion and subsequent sale of the promoted portal. The advantage of this micro-business is that it is available to young people and the older generation in any region of Russia, Moscow and small towns.
3. Trading in financial markets will be a profitable activity. Trading binary options requires deep knowledge in the field of trading, low costs, but it brings real income to experienced entrepreneurs and is a promising activity.

Business ideas for beginners with minimal investment

For people who are not ready to take risks and invest large sums of money, it is necessary to choose ideas for earning money with a minimum of costs or start a small business with small volumes and increase investments as income increases. We can recommend an easy business for budding entrepreneurs to garage owners.

1. During the autumn and winter months of the year, fuel products become popular, so making briquettes from available wood waste is a great idea for a small business. The result of the activities of a small enterprise will be good profitability in the cold season; in the warm season, demand will be supported by the consumption of briquettes for picnics.
2. The idea of ​​creating a private enterprise for breeding fur-bearing animals of rare valuable breeds - chinchillas - guarantees all-season demand for products.

Small animals do not require special care and a lot of food - just one worker can feed them.
3. During a crisis, people prefer not to buy new goods, so sales of spare parts and used items increase. A promising activity in the garage could be refurbishment of used tires.

Business ideas from scratch

There is no need to despair for people who do not have start-up capital to start a business. There are original ideas for small businesses to open a small business without investment:

1. A small business from scratch can become promising if you start manufacturing garden furniture and home decor elements from available raw materials: rattan, willow twigs or used wood pallets.

Small businesses in this area are distinguished by large investments and high levels of profitability. To achieve success - to conquer the market and make a good profit - it is necessary to take care of the quality of the product, so at the initial stage the entrepreneur needs to decide whether to buy inexpensive or high-tech equipment. Entrepreneurs who want to open a profitable small business should consider the following ideas:

3. The products of the factory producing pillows and blankets made from natural raw materials will be in demand.

What business to start

Before starting a business, it is necessary to analyze all the factors that can affect a small business and select promising ideas. Business will develop differently in a small town, a metropolis, in the city center, an office area, or a residential area. The success of an enterprise is influenced by the number of competitors and the degree of market coverage. All these conditions must be carefully studied and analyzed in order to choose the right idea for doing business.

It is useful to consider the idea of ​​opening a fish store. A business plan for a fish store must foresee who will sell the products and what the assortment will be. You can attract a buyer:

Where to get money to open a small business

What stops people from starting a business is the question of where they can get money to start a business. To open a small business you can:

• use your savings;
• borrow from relatives or friends;
• attract an investor or co-founder of a small business;
• take out a cheap loan from a bank.

Video: ideas for small production.

Starting your own business is one of the common phenomena today. This is largely due to the fact that there are fewer skilled craftsmen due to the development of technology, and wages are falling. Also, an increasing number of people strive for independence, confidence in the future, and independent control of financial flows and profits. This article describes several options for creating your own business with small investments.

Starting a profitable business that requires little investment

Before investing in a new project, it is necessary to conduct a thorough analysis. Within it is:

• determine your personal advantages, what unique knowledge and skills you have at your disposal;
• formulate an idea that meets the needs of society and is close to the novice entrepreneur himself;
• calculate the required start-up capital, estimate the volume of your own resources and consider sources of external financing;
• draw up a business plan reflecting all the details and nuances of the planned business.

The preparatory stage is critically important, since proper calculation will help avoid unforeseen risks. Also, a structured project will have a chance of attracting resources, not to mention that the parameters written down on paper are easier to analyze. Often, after creating a program, an entrepreneur can reduce expenses, thereby reducing the size of the start-up investment.

Assessing your knowledge and skills

Analysis of personal advantages makes it possible to determine the main strengths of the business. This action will also help identify weaknesses and determine what additional knowledge or skills are needed. You can compensate for the missing experience either by self-training or by attracting the right people to the team.

For example, a person plans to open a home delivery business for confectionery products. He himself is a first-class chef, but does not have a car or a driver's license. On the one hand, an entrepreneur can buy a car and attend a driving school, thereby solving the problem. He can also find a courier with his own vehicle. This will involve sharing profits, but saving time and money on buying a car. Another person can contact courier companies that will deliver for a certain percentage.

The choice of niche should be dictated by three main parameters:

• personal interest and knowledge in a certain area - an entrepreneur must be informed and competent in the industry, this implies an interest in development associated not only with increasing income, but also with the development of the business;
• relevance to society – the product or service must be in demand among consumers;
• market analysis aimed at identifying competition - it is ideal to find an unoccupied niche, but this rarely happens today; it is recommended to think through your advantages in comparison with competitors.

When choosing a field of activity, it is important to answer the question: why do people want this? And why will they buy it from me? Five years ago, manicurists were not so common. Today, in order to form a client base, girls need to stand out, offer services and prices that others do not have. On the one hand, the niche is occupied, but if you identify the strengths of the offer, you can develop.

A financial plan is the most important part of planning. Any errors in it can lead to bankruptcy and simply to a significant loss of funds. It is recommended to proceed as follows:

1. List everything that will be needed at the start and in the first few months - rent, equipment, personnel.
2. Analyze the optimal prices for each direction. You should not take the cheapest options; the middle price category is best.
3. Enter the average cost of each item on the form and calculate the amount.

After receiving the data, it is recommended to analyze how much capital you can contribute yourself. If the amount is completely enough, great; if not, then you need to consider options for attracting external financial resources. First of all, potential investors include:

• relatives and friends - they have trust and respect;
• banks or other credit institutions;
• state and funds;
• other structures in the form of business incubators and angels.

When working with potential lenders, you need to be as detailed as possible and use a written business plan. Often, for a business with small investments, it is not so difficult to find an investor among its surroundings.

Setting a goal

When there is a formed and written down idea and an understanding of where to get financial resources, it is worth defining the goal. Moreover, it should be placed on three levels:

• short-term – from six months to a year;
• medium-term – from one to two years;
• long-term – from five years.

The more vision an entrepreneur has, the better. It is impossible to build a large and successful business without understanding its future prospects.

In today's competitive world, it is impossible to gain a good customer base by providing a mediocre product. Technologies are constantly improving, and along with them, quality standards are rising. When choosing a product or service to promote, you must strive to ensure that it is the best that is on the market and available to consumers.

What type of activity can you do without a lot of investment?

The majority of business projects require significant financial investments from entrepreneurs, but not all. Any big business starts small. Therefore, with a careful approach, you can always find an option that even a student with his own savings can start.

Choosing a niche and idea

When choosing our ideas, you should be guided by the above principles, which boil down to finding something that will be in demand among the population. It is also important to select a project where you can find a mentor. It can be either a successful entrepreneur in the industry, ready to share knowledge and experience, or business literature and other information materials. A mentor is a more profitable option, since on the one hand, he may require less investment, and on the other hand, he can provide feedback, that is, point out mistakes and miscalculations.

Drawing up a business plan involves including:

• general implementation plan indicating timing, payback and dynamics;
• a financial plan showing profit channels, rates of profitability and ways to gain profit after paying off debts;
• a marketing plan reflecting options for attracting new customers and retaining current customers;
• production plan - principles and methods for creating goods and services, ways to optimize the process.

A business plan is primarily needed by the entrepreneur himself; it represents step-by-step instructions for action. It is also indispensable when attracting investors. For them, this is a key element when making a decision to invest money, especially its financial component.

Implementation steps

After drawing up a plan, raising funds and developing a program, you need to immediately take action. Many great business ideas have not been implemented simply because a person did not take the first step.

Not everything can go according to plan at the start, the main thing is not to yawn and be consistent, look for interesting options to attract clients. Consumers are always wary of something new, but if there is persistent, long-term propaganda, then sooner or later some will respond.

When a product or service is of appropriate quality, customers will become permanent, and an increase in the number of such people is a guarantee of successful implementation.

Unlike hired work, business requires serious knowledge in the field of financial literacy. At a minimum, an entrepreneur must clearly track income streams and distinguish this concept from profit.

When you receive your first money, it is important to manage it wisely:

• payment of obligations, these include debts, rent, wages and taxes;
• reinvestment in business, which involves purchasing resources, expanding the range, etc.;
• profit - the remainder after calculation in the main areas is the owner’s net income.

Often, at first, due to the presence of debt obligations, the business does not bring in significant money, but this is a normal stage that all beginning businessmen go through.

Quick return business ideas with minimal investment

Let's look at a few examples of freelancing and self-employment, which do not require serious investments, although they do involve them. You must have certain skills or be willing to invest in training.

Today, many people's lives are based on their social media profiles, which in turn require quality content. Photographers are one of the most in-demand professions, especially those who work for themselves, hence taking a lower percentage.

In order to become a professional photographer, you must:

• availability of high-quality equipment, the cost of a basic professional set is about one hundred fifty to two hundred thousand rubles;
• knowledge about shooting composition - you can obtain information both through independent study and experience, and by taking courses, their cost is at least fifty thousand.

In addition to this, the presence of the first two parameters does not guarantee success, since it is necessary to form a client base, which means investing in advertising and promotion.

The average payback for such a business is from six months to a year.

Sale and rental of real estate has been and will always be relevant. Along with this, today there are many online resources that act as intermediaries and replace realtors.

Some people, quite a large number, continue to adhere to the principle of contacting a specialist who will select suitable options, thereby saving time.

In most cases, realtors work for agencies, but there are also freelancers. In order to become one, you need to acquire access to the database, and also constantly increase your clientele. Starting investments range from ten to one hundred thousand rubles. As for payback, it entirely depends on human activity. In most cases, you can turn a profit within a few months.

Repair of equipment or apartments

Repair work is another option for budget freelancing, requiring a set of skills and knowledge. The easiest way to start realizing in a direction is for those who have been doing this for a long time under someone’s guidance.

The investment is based on the purchase of a set of tools. Depending on the specialization, it will cost from twenty to two hundred thousand rubles. Services also cost differently. It makes sense to talk about payback after a year, but maybe sooner.

It is recommended to form a client base on a recommendation basis, since advertising of such advertisements does not inspire confidence. Also, don’t forget about social networks, where you can post examples of your work, thereby backing up your promises with factual evidence.

The delivery of all goods and services is the most dynamic sector of the economy, and the transportation of food is the most developing industry. Despite the existence of several giants in the industry such as Uber or Yandex, today a small supply can also be in demand.

When planning such a business, it is important to wisely choose the platform, target audience and suppliers. Investments will be based on the creation of a resource through which communication with clients will take place, as well as payment for couriers’ services.

The payback is quite fast if you manage to find a niche and offer customers a set of advantages, for example, faster delivery compared to competitors, or an expanded package of services.

YouTube channel

A YouTube channel can be a great business project or an addition to an existing business. To begin implementation, you will need basic knowledge regarding the use of online programs. This option also requires skills in creating high-quality videos and a lot of time.

Types of business from scratch that do not require a lot of investment

Now let's look at some areas of business that require not very large start-up investments, but also have development prospects. Also, unlike previous options, they require staff and rent, which is associated with additional monthly costs and basic accounting knowledge.

On the one hand, creating a fast food outlet is a fast-paying business, but on the other hand, it is an option that involves a large number of risks. The starting capital that will be required depends on the location, size and assortment, that is, it is not possible to say the exact amount without a business plan.

Payback depends on marketing and the quality of the products produced, as well as on price. The main difficulties include:

• obtaining permits from various departments;
• spoilage of products leading to losses;
• competitive environment.

One of the more reliable, but expensive options is a franchise. Purchasing a ready-made business model that is guaranteed to work costs from half a million, not counting the costs of rent, wages, equipment, etc.

Cargo transportation

Transport transportation is also a good idea if you have the appropriate means of transportation. If the taxi industry is completely under the control of Uber and Yandex, then they are not so actively represented in cargo transportation.

It is also possible to lease a car, but this is a monthly expense. It is worth starting such a business under the condition of obvious demand for services and low market employment. In such a situation, the payback rate will be high, as will the entrepreneur’s profit.

Many novice entrepreneurs are considering vending options - selling goods through vending machines. The initial investment is significant, but the business quickly pays off if you choose the location wisely.

Catering

Organizing buffets requires a competent team and stable agreements with suppliers, as a rule, they are restaurants. Transport will also be required.

The business is quite profitable, although the demand is not very high. Before starting, it is recommended to enlist the support of several institutions for which such services are relevant.

When selecting employees, you should be guided not only by the person’s personal qualities, but also by his professionalism in terms of service and service.

As for the initial investments in cleaning services, they are based on the acquisition of tools and equipment. It is recommended to give preference to quality products, since people who resort to such services are demanding and scrupulous about quality.

To form a client base, you can either buy a ready-made one from one of the companies, or use open offer sites. The payback is high subject to regular orders. It is also worth considering a system of gifts and bonuses so that people subsequently apply for services.

What kind of business with small investments can you organize alone?

Creating a team of like-minded people or attracting staff is not always convenient, so it is important to consider examples of businesses that you can organize yourself without involving other people in cooperation. It is important to note the main drawback of such projects - the existence of an income limit, since no matter what services the entrepreneur offers, he will not be able to serve everyone.

Today there are very long queues at preschool institutions, in addition to this, not all parents are ready to send their children to overcrowded groups where one or two teachers work.

Opening a private kindergarten is permissible both at home and in a separate room. This is one of the best options for those who have their own small children. This way, the mother will be able to spend time with her child and earn income for looking after other children.

Start-up capital will be based on furnishing the premises, purchasing basic furniture and toys. It is important to fully comply with the standards of institutions of this type.

The payback is high provided that you find regular customers, since the services of a private kindergarten are expensive, but many are willing to pay for them.

Tutoring

For a person who is well versed in certain areas and especially in the subjects of the school and university curriculum, tutoring would be an excellent solution.

In fact, this type of entrepreneurship does not require start-up investments, since the key product is knowledge. Of course, it is recommended to constantly improve your professionalism, but in general, it is past experience that can generate income.

Everyone determines the cost of a lesson for themselves, but, as practice shows, if you have five or six regular students, you can earn an income equal to the teacher’s salary.

Handmade

Handmade crafts have been a trend for the last few years. Therefore, if a person has the skills and vision of how to create something unique and inimitable, then one can confidently start a business. The market is quite saturated, so it will take a lot of time to promote, promote and find clients.

In most cases, the investment is minimal, as it involves the purchase of materials that are cheap. But at the initial stage you will need to create a portfolio - examples of work. It is recommended to invest money in creating high-quality photos and videos.

Breeder of purebred dogs/cats, etc.

Breeding pets is a profitable business, but more labor-intensive than the options presented above. Firstly, it is necessary to have knowledge in the field of veterinary medicine, in particular in the delivery of offspring and feeding of puppies and kittens. Secondly, such a business requires the constant presence of a person at home.

The demand for services is high, especially when it comes to purebred dogs and cats. The payback is not very high compared to the time invested.

As for the risks, they are based on the possibility of obtaining weak offspring. Also, if the animals are not adopted at a young age, then adults have to find a home, which is more difficult, and often such pets are given away for free.

Universal craftsmen are in many ways similar in activity and other parameters to those who perform repair work. In this case, the purchase of tools and specialized knowledge are also required.

As a rule, the services of a specialist are highly valued, since he can solve people’s problems that they could not solve on their own. But you need to constantly search for clients and organize your time so that most of the work is done in the evening. The fact is that it is at this time that people are at home and ready to see a specialist, but public and even private services are not ready to send a specialist to them after six o’clock.

Business ideas with the least investment and quick payback for a small town

When organizing a local offline business in a small city, you can use its location advantages. They are mainly related to the characteristics of the target audience.

Organizing a subsidiary farm is beneficial if there is a temporary opportunity to care for plants, a suitable climate and demand. Today, more and more people are inclined to purchase natural products, in particular vegetables and fruits. The disadvantage of business is seasonality. This option is a solo business with small investments.

Home growing is one of the top profitable businesses. There are requirements for the form and principles of conduct.

Raising poultry/animals for meat

Raising animals and birds, as well as their subsequent sale, requires large premises, as well as serious investments in the purchase of both the business objects themselves and the food for them.

In rural areas, it is easy to organize a project, but it is better to implement it in cities, since there is a higher demand for such products. A business with small investments in this industry is breeding chickens or rabbits, but not cattle. Investing in animals is dangerous for an inexperienced person. It is also not worth opening the sale of meat without information about sanitary standards. It will take a long time and hard work to recoup the enterprise.

Your own bakery is one of the types of business that does not require large investments, and it is possible to implement it even at home. The key advantage is high profitability and demand. The disadvantage is the loss of money due to spoilage of products and the need to attract customers on an ongoing basis, accompanied by an expansion of the assortment.

This is a vivid example of how a business operates in a small town with small investments. Investing money in such a profitable project will be appropriate. Even a beginner can handle it and quickly break even at first.

Fish farming

Fish farming is a business that is not accessible to many people, since it requires at least a pond in which it is permissible to do this. In addition, it is a very labor-intensive, difficult and dirty process. This option should only be used if the infrastructure is in place. You need to invest money based on the recommendations of experienced real scammers.

Online trading

All business today is moving to an online platform. The advantage is that it is not tied to a specific location. Along with this, when making delivery, it is important to take into account the territory and cost of services.

When organizing an online store, you need to highlight your strengths and have certain differences from your competitors. Every day new sellers appear, using both social networks and creating websites. In general, this is a business with small investments and quick payback.

Real examples of successful businesses from scratch

One of the most striking recent examples of a successful business from scratch is hypermarkets, where people go to buy groceries and other goods every day.

In the 2000s, in parallel and independently of each other, students noticed that their fellow students after studying spent a lot of time going to shops and markets. They opened small stalls on the road from the university to the hostel, supplying them with basic goods. Demand exceeded supply and within a few years, the stalls turned into supermarkets.

Today, brand awareness is high, and those student founders have become adults, so the main profit is already coming from large hypermarkets located outside the city limits. This is an example of how a profitable business develops with small investments.
