30Sep

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

How to start a business with minimal investment

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

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

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

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

Living examples of business with small investments

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

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

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

Now let's move on to others:

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

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

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

You can help with this by offering the product a little cheaper than in stores. Thanks to this, you will have many clients who will want to buy several lipsticks and other products at once.

In order for such a business to generate income, you need to analyze the decorative cosmetics market and select the most popular products. Then compare prices on Chinese and Russian sites.

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

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

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

The cost of the finished product can be calculated using the formula “direct costs + indirect costs x2 = market value” (these are approximate calculations). Direct costs (material) for one product are about 1000 rubles. Indirect – the cost of your time, electricity. Profit is the value of your work.

Business Idea No. 25. Furniture for Pets

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

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

Conclusion

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

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

Thank you for your attention! I look forward to your comments.

Business idea 4 – Opening a culinary school

The investment amount is 300,000 rubles.

The essence of this project - opening of a modern school in which anyone can learn how to cook certain dishes and get acquainted with famous world recipes.

• purchase of special tables and equipment;
• purchasing towels, clothing and work supplies;

• payment to staff.

At the initial stage, advertising and promotion of the salon with the help of leaflets and social networks is necessary. The average price for a popular back massage starts at 400 rubles. Serving at least 6-8 clients daily, we can talk about a turnover of 3,200 rubles. The price includes overhead and administrative costs of 50%, so the monthly profit can be 48,000 rubles, which allows for self-sufficiency in six months.

Such a spectacular project does not require any special financial costs if all organizational aspects are independently developed. The spending plan consists of several points:

• office rental;
• purchase of reagents for experiments;
• costs for equipment, tailoring of suits;
• advertising, website content.

Conducting mysterious experiments with lightning, explosions, and making cotton candy costs clients an average of 5,000 rubles. It is easy to calculate that if 20 such shows are shown per month, the self-sufficiency threshold will be overcome in 2 months. Considering the considerable cost and price of the experimental compositions, we can talk about real income in 4-6 months. Constant advertising is of great importance, and you should not skimp on it.

Business idea 7 – Rufa fish peeling business

Estimated investment - 170,000 rubles.

The essence of the idea consists of providing an exotic peeling service with Rufus fish.

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

An unusual idea requires mandatory advertising. The minimum price for treating feet with Rufa fish starts from 600 rubles.

Business idea 8 – Manufacturing of seals and stamps

The cost of investments is from 150,000 rubles.

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

Implementation of the idea:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Implementation of the idea:

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

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

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

Business idea 10 – Selling packaged honey

Approximate investment - from 150,000 rubles.

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

Implementation of the idea:

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

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

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

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

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

Business idea 11 – Landscaping and finishing of the territory

The initial investment is from 150,000 rubles.

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

Implementation of the idea:

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

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

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

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

Business idea 12 – Making photo books

The initial investment amount is 150,000 rubles.

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

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

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

Business idea 13 – Sports nutrition store

Initial investment - 150,000 rubles.

Such a project involves purchasing from sports nutrition suppliers and selling it through your own store at a premium. The relevance of the business is due to the growing interest in a healthy lifestyle, the cult of a beautiful physique and a certain fashion for sculpted muscles. Sports nutrition is in demand among young people who want to adhere to a certain diet.

Implementation of the idea:

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

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

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

If the process is organized outdoors, a specialized van or tent will replace the premises. The device can produce from 250 to 600 delicious products per hour. By correctly combining the place of sale, a large selection of fillings, and high-quality service, you can achieve high profits by placing a 100% trade markup on some types of donuts.

Business idea 23 – Opening a design studio

Preliminary investments - 300,000 rubles.

The essence of this project - opening a small office or studio that provides services for the development of interior design projects, accompanying them at the implementation stage. Such services are becoming increasingly popular against the backdrop of growing interest in individuality, originality of renovations in residential and commercial premises, and the growing well-being of a certain part of the population.

Implementation of the idea:

The main expense item is a well-equipped and properly located office. The best location would be a business center, non-residential premises in the central area with convenient transport links. To organize the process you will need:

• office equipment, high-power personal computers;
• licensed programs;
• furniture for staff, meeting rooms with clients.

In most cases, employee salaries depend on the number and total amount of orders, and the owner is an experienced designer capable of leading serious projects at the initial stage. The initial cost of developing an individual design ranges from 1000 rubles per 1 m2. Therefore, the profitability of such a studio depends only on the talent of the employees and a good advertising component.

Business idea 24 – Opening a jewelry workshop

Initial investments - from 400,000 rubles.

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

Implementation of the idea:

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

The main costs in implementing the idea are:

• acquisition of modern equipment and tools for repairs;
• design of premises, showcases and waiting areas for clients;
• expenses for advertising, signage;
• payment for services to a qualified employee.

Most of the jewelry repair services offered are inexpensive, so you can have a high income only by working for a good reputation, completing orders with high quality and on time. This will help attract clients for more expensive exclusive orders, which can make up a significant part of the profit and help the project pay for itself in a minimum period of time.

Business idea 25 – Skydiving

The essence of the idea - opening of a compact drop zone for organizing a full cycle of parachute jumps, including training for beginners and training for professional teams. The growing interest in adrenaline sports and active recreation makes this type of business quite relevant. There is little competition in the market for such services, which allows you to quickly fill a vacant niche.

Implementation of the idea:

Opening a project will require large investments due to the characteristics of the organization:

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

The minimum level of profitability of such drop zones is at least 10% and reaches 60% for well-known and stably operating ones. Additional income can be obtained from providing comprehensive services for training professional teams, excursions, arranging a small campsite or organizing fast food in the jumping zone. The disadvantage is the seasonality of this business project and the search for real professionals to work as instructors.

Business idea 26 – Opening a cafe on wheels

Minimum investment - 450,000 rubles.

The essence of such a project - opening a fully equipped mobile cafe in an equipped trailer, offering visitors fresh fast food and drinks. The choice of product option (pies, shawarma, pancakes, hot sandwiches) should be made after a thorough analysis of the market for such services in the city. Such a project will be relevant only if the location for implementation is correctly selected.

Implementation of the idea:

To open, the best option in terms of cost and convenience would be to purchase an equipped and converted trailer that has access to minimal utilities, a stove, and a display case. In addition, it requires certain costs:

• purchase of high-quality semi-finished products;
• salesperson's salary;
• payment for rent of land.

It is cost-effective to open such points near high-traffic areas: train stations, markets, bus stops and clinics. With an average check of 30 rubles and a minimum number of clients of 200 people per day, we can talk about a good daily turnover of 6,000 rubles. This will allow the project to pay off in 4-5 months, especially with the constant development of the range and high quality of service.

Business idea 27 – Opening a mini-coffee shop

Minimum investment - 400,000 rubles.

The essence of the business idea - arrangement of a small coffee shop for preparing several varieties and types of coffee, selling it to consumers in convenient containers. Such practical mini-coffee shops are especially popular among fans of the aromatic drink of all ages. The relevance of this type of business is possible by choosing the optimal location and organizing high-quality and fast service.

Implementation of the idea:

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

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

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

• Detailed.

• purchasing comfortable furniture;
• development and production of working materials;
• advertising to attract customers;
• selection of decent personnel.

The profitability of such a language business project is quite high. If the average cost of one training hour in a group ranges from 300 to 1000 rubles, then a lesson with a group of 5 people will bring 1500–5000 rubles.

The idea should be implemented in cities with large populations, where there are potential buyers with average incomes.

Implementation of the idea:

It is better to locate such a store in the central area of ​​the city near transport stops. You can rent a ready-made retail space in a well-known supermarket. A good effect will be provided by proximity to departments of toys or children's products. To do this, you will need to arrange comfortable fitting rooms for expectant mothers, purchase a small set of equipment, shelving and mirrors.

The essence of the business project – opening of an enterprise providing comprehensive services for the production of self-leveling floors of various configurations for private and corporate clients. The service is becoming increasingly popular in the construction and design of many design projects. There is some competition in this market sector, so it is better to start your own business under a franchise agreement with a well-known company.

Implementation of the idea:

The main technical work on the manufacture and installation of self-leveling floors is carried out at the customer’s site, so there is no need to equip a special workshop. It is better to rent an office near a bus stop or metro station, focusing on the comfort of potential clients. In addition, certain costs will be required:

• training workers in specialized courses, their retraining;
• purchasing the necessary equipment and a set of tools;
• advertising of services in the region.

The profitability of a project for the production of self-leveling floors is 40–50%, which helps to have a monthly net profit of 120,000–150,000 rubles. If you conduct a project independently without purchasing a franchise, it can cover the investment in 4–6 months.

Business idea 31 – Car tuning workshop

Initial investment – ​​700,000 rubles.

Implementation of the idea:

To implement the idea, you need to rent a large room, which will be adapted for car repairs. In addition to the hall with pits, it is necessary to have a demonstration room for working with clients and resting staff. A successful workshop should provide a wide range of services:

• airbrush (drawing);
• interior design, upholstery replacement;
• Exterior tuning, changing external parts;
• technical modifications of units.

The cost of services from such workshops is sometimes comparable to the price of an inexpensive car, but the demand for them is consistently high. The minimum cost of airbrushing starts from 6,000 rubles per 1 sq. m. m., and the full equipment of the jeep can reach the amount of 700,000 rubles. A good studio with an integrated approach to work brings the owner more than 1,000,000 rubles annually, quickly repaying the invested capital.

Business idea 32 – Opening an ultrasound diagnostic room

Minimum investment - 1,000,000 rubles.

The essence of the business project – opening an equipped private office with modern ultrasound equipment to provide diagnostic services to the population. Without this type of examination it is impossible to receive quality treatment. The relevance of this idea is due to the long queues in city hospitals and the lack of good equipment in them.

Implementation of the idea:

This type of project should be handled by an experienced diagnostician who can use a buddy to ensure continued patient care. To provide diagnostic services, a special medical license is required. The main expense item is the purchase of a modern ultrasound machine with many functions. You should not save on this in order to be able to conduct complex, expensive research if you wish. A portable device for working at home will add customers who are in dire need of such services.

Despite the high cost of a high-quality ultrasound machine, the daily turnover of the office reaches 15,000–20,000 rubles. With a monthly income of 450,000 rubles, the invested amount will pay off in just 2–3 months of stable work.

Business idea 33 – Opening a hookah bar

Minimum investment - from 500,000 rubles.

The essence of the idea - opening an entertainment establishment that specializes in hookah smoking. This popular type of recreation is relevant among young people and middle-aged people. Such establishments can exist as part of a modern restaurant or be a separate hookah bar. The second option has a more economical budget and is a non-standard way to spend leisure time in a cozy environment.

Implementation of the idea:

The optimal location for such a hookah bar would be in the central part of the city, close to famous restaurants or cafes. Visitors to these places will be happy to move after dinner to a hookah bar, where they can try light drinks, snacks and smoke aromatic hookah. Joint projects with owners of expensive clubs or restaurants, who provide the sites of their establishments for sublease, are becoming increasingly popular.

To get started, just purchase a set of four hookahs and the necessary accessories for them. The main emphasis should be on the style, design and advertising of the hookah bar to ensure a constant flow of customers. This will help fully recoup the establishment within a year.

Minimum investment – ​​600,000 rubles.

The essence of the business project – opening of a small cafe that specializes in serving Japanese cold dishes.

Such an original establishment with a non-standard assortment can quickly acquire regular customers.

Implementation of the idea:

You can implement the project yourself or with the involvement of a franchise from a well-known company. In the second case, most organizational and legal issues will be resolved without difficulty. When opening a sushi bar alone, an entrepreneur will need:

• comfortable room with a small kitchen;
• purchasing stylized furniture and decorative items;
• training of cooks and improving their qualifications.

The sushi menu features a large number of cold appetizers, which will require special kitchen equipment and storage conditions. Savings can be achieved by concluding a contract with seafood suppliers, who often offer branded refrigerators or thermoses for free. With an average trade margin of 100 to 300% and a profitability of 50-60%, a sushi bar will fully recoup its investment in 5-6 months.

Business idea 36 – Rental and installation of billboards

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

Implementation of the idea:

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

This affects the total initial cost. Profitability depends entirely on the location of the billboard. Rental prices can start from 10,000 rubles per week. The profit and payback period of the project are calculated based on the number of billboards that the company has at its disposal.

Business idea 37 – Opening a pancake shop

Minimum investment – ​​900,000 rubles.

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

Implementation of the idea:

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

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

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

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

Implementation of the idea:

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

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 details. 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 it. 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 identification 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

Have you decided that you are tired of working “for your uncle”, and the only opportunity to create a bright future is to start your own business? Congratulations! It seems like a switch has clicked in your head, turning you from an ordinary worker into a future entrepreneur! The fate of this character is not easy, but interesting. In particular, you will have to deal with a whole lot of problems: how to register your business, where to get funds to open it, how to attract the first clients, and so on. And the very first in the series of these “monsters” is the question: “What kind of business should I open?”

Entrepreneurs are people filled with energy and creativity from head to toe, and therefore they usually direct all their reserves of this goodness to solving the first problem. Of course, because choosing a business idea is a fateful question. At the same time, most beginners think that a business idea must certainly be original and fresh. Then the business will produce a WOW effect on potential customers, and they will rush for a new product or service, sweeping away everything in their path, including competitors bursting with envy.

It must be said that in search of an unusual idea that has not yet been implemented by anyone on the market, many go very far and invent startups that, in general, cause nothing but surprise. You look at such a business, and there is only one question in your head: “Who will pay for this?!” But this, as they say, is just the beginning. But the berries, that is, the most amazing thing is that they actually pay for it. And a lot of them and very willingly.

Don't believe that this is even possible? Then we invite you to familiarize yourself with a couple of business ideas that at first glance seemed crazy, but, nevertheless, helped their creators make good money.

Chickens for rent

American startup Rent-a-Chicken makes money by renting out two adult chickens. What made this idea take off? The general trend towards healthy eating and organics. For many people in the United States, the thought of whipping up fried eggs from 100% organic eggs in the morning really warms their souls.

Rent-a-Chicken plays on these emotions, giving everyone the opportunity to feel like a farmer without investing enormous amounts of money into it, without taking risks, and without even leaving their usual job. You just need to leave a request on the company’s website, and its employees will bring the chickens themselves, as well as a small chicken coop for them and a supply of feed for three months, for just 250 US dollars. After this period, you will have to hand over your cheerful farm back. The startup now operates in 15 US states and enjoys some popularity.

Message on a potato

How do you feel about the prospect of paying from 8 to 12 US dollars to send your friend a note “Vasya, pay back the debt!” on a potato tuber? But the Americans liked the idea of ​​the founder of the Potato Parcel service. Just two days after entering the market, the enterprising startup entrepreneur earned $2,000 from “the dumbest idea in the world” (according to his girlfriend).

After another 5 months, Potato Parcel was sold, and that’s when the real fun began. The new owner has taken the project to a completely different level: the service now operates in Canada, Australia and Europe, earning $1,000 a day. Potato Parcel was so successful that it even spawned several smaller imitators.

Cricket Protein Bars

It seems that the UN's advice to hungry people to eat insects, which the organization issued a couple of years ago, was taken very literally by some. We are talking, in particular, about the founder of the Chapul project. This brand produces protein bars made from crickets, which have gained popularity in the United States and Canada.

Just don’t think that Americans really love the crunch of insect legs on their teeth. Crickets are ground into flour and generously flavored with all sorts of delicious things like honey, nuts or chocolate. One way or another, the products are sold in more than 50 retail outlets dedicated to healthy nutrition.

Hangover help

Well, who among us is not familiar with this disgusting feeling of helplessness, when you can’t even lift your head from the pillow because yesterday you had too much to drink? Well, okay, okay, we are decent people in all respects and condemn immoderation of libations. But one way or another, everyone knows about hangovers, even if not from their own experience.

But students at the University of Colorado Boulder seem to experience hangovers on a regular basis. No wonder: the town is included in the official list of the most party cities for students.

For some of them, watching their fellow students suffer inspired them to start a business. A hangover is not just retribution for yesterday's sins, it is full-fledged alcohol poisoning that requires first aid. This function was taken over by the Hangover Helpers service. For just $20, the miracle startup provides a bottle of isotonic water to overcome the “dry bug”, the beloved American burrito and cleaning the room.

Adoption of pickled onions

In 2011, the Russian media literally exploded with news about a startup from the UK - an agency for the adoption of pickled onions. The idea was invented by several English housewives over a glass of alcohol in a pub. Everyone knows that the most non-trivial ideas appear precisely in such an environment. Only in the morning, having sobered up, yesterday’s geniuses brush them aside. But this time everything turned out to be completely different: the women developed the idea and even found authorized capital to start a business.

It was possible to adopt an onion on a website specially created for this purpose, and the client could choose a specific onion that was the most attractive to him, and give it a new happy life. True, the onion itself never left for its savior, but he received her photo and a beautiful adoption certificate. And all this pleasure for just 8 euros.

Artificial grass for animal walking

Probably every dog ​​owner knows how difficult it can be to crawl out from under a warm blanket on a gloomy Sunday morning to go for a walk with your pet. To help those who are completely screwed, the Pet Loo service has appeared.

Its creators believe that even a piece of grass is enough for a faithful dog to “get things done,” and therefore they offer lazy dog ​​owners to buy 1 sq.m. artificial vegetation, equipped with a tray. Both the grass and the tray can be washed and reused several times, while the “plants” absorb odors.

The grass and tray cost dog owners $110 per kit. But, apparently, the price is not a problem for those who are too lazy to walk their four-legged friend. True, it is not clear how much this idea is to the taste of the dogs themselves, who are forced to “go” to something extremely similar to a cat’s litter box.

Anti-stress establishment

Admit it, we all periodically want to smash the keyboard over the head of an annoying colleague or throw a mug at our husband, who suddenly imagines himself to be a sawmill. But my colleague is a valuable personnel, and my husband is dearly loved. And it’s somehow a pity to break things in a fit of stress: after all, it’s yours, acquired through back-breaking labor. And yet, for the sake of psychological and physical health, you need to let off steam somewhere.

It is for such sufferers, driven into a corner by stress, that Sarah’s Smash Shack was invented in the USA. The trick of the cafe is that it consists exclusively of a conflict menu. You just come and start smashing whatever your heart desires, and then pay for the pogrom committed according to the price list.

Cereal cafe

How do you like the idea of ​​“breaking out” into a cafe specifically to eat cereal or other breakfast cereals? At first glance it sounds crazy: you can fill honey rings with milk at home. But such an establishment, oddly enough, actually exists and is even popular among the British.

The ironically named Cereal Killer Cafe sells more than 120 types of breakfast cereals from all over the world, which can be topped with one of 30 types of milk (who would have thought that there were so many) and added to this splendor with one or more of 20 toppings.

In short, a real paradise for cereal fans. By the way, there are many of the latter. Just two months after the opening of the first establishment, a second one appeared, and at this rate it’s not far from an entire network.

As you can see, Westerners are not lacking in creativity when it comes to finding business ideas. But this is far from a complete list of crazy startups that were wildly successful, no matter what. Europeans and Americans make money by making T-shirt blankets, making edible tableware and finding out if someone has died in the house a client is planning to buy.

Against the backdrop of such revelry, it becomes somehow embarrassing for the homeland: is it really possible that all we can do is cook shawarma and sell tights? But no! In Russian villages and cities with a population of over a million, there are also a lot of craftsmen who make money from strange things. Here are their stories literally first-hand:

Vladimir Mirolyubov

Head of EPICSTARS

The strangest and probably most unusual business idea I have ever seen was a Russian company offering anyone who wanted to pay and order delivery of a “gift” to a specified recipient. The peculiarity of the “gift” was that inside the box there was... ahem, a brown substance. The company took its service seriously and even did an upsell through an additional fee for a message to the recipient.

All my friends stood at their heads and said that no one would buy this nonsense. But it seemed to me that this was a cool idea, so I agreed with 5 stores in St. Petersburg, and found 3 dealers in the regions where I gave the gloves for sale. Also, for what I thought was crazy money (about 70 thousand rubles), I rented a house in advance at the New Year's fair in the center of St. Petersburg in order to sell gloves on New Year's Day. As a result, we had a great deal then. Having covered all the costs, I earned almost 800 thousand rubles net.
But the next year it was not possible to repeat the success: many competitors appeared who heavily dumped and brought gloves of very poor quality.

Natalia Mignenko

PR Specialist "International Academy for Lie Research"

We have an unusual business - predicting human behavior and verifying (detecting) lies without a lie detector. Today the Ministry of Internal Affairs, airports, and security forces are working with us. The business started with a deposit of 15 thousand rubles, now the turnover is 100 times greater.

As can be seen from these examples, even an idea from which you least expect at least some benefit can generate income. We hope that unusual foreign and Russian business will inspire you to new achievements and teach you not to be afraid of critics: many of the heroes of the article also initially faced misunderstanding.

Just remember that the first idea that comes to mind should not be implemented without weighing all the pros and cons. Your business should be of interest to more than just you.
