Is it worth opening a business this year? How to create a personal business from scratch. Six basic steps. “Old well forgotten = new”

Every aspiring entrepreneur strives to open the most profitable business that would immediately begin to generate significant income. This actually happens sometimes, although there are many more opposite cases in life...

When in 2019, in search engine queries, you come across the coveted “how to open a business now to be profitable”, I would like to advise the author of the question not to follow other people’s advice! In 2019, the situation is far from the same as in 1996, when a poorly saturated market happily accepted any innovation. Nowadays, not a single case can be completed without careful observation and a comprehensive analysis of the situation.

We also decided to conduct our own research, interviewing entrepreneurs and experts on the topic “the most profitable business in Russia today.” We bring to your attention the most popular types of activities named by respondents.

What was taken into account when assessing which business was the most profitable?

Positive and negative reviews for each activity area earned (or took away) points. Each positive point added one point, and each negative review took away a point.
We did not include activities typical of large businesses (for example, banking or industrial segments) in the survey. It is unlikely that novice entrepreneurs can afford such options. We focused on those areas in which small and medium-sized businesses are present.
We asked you to pay special attention to the cost of opening a business. The reduction in household incomes played a role: 2014 was still marked by successful openings from scratch, and in 2019 it is not at all easy to get along with minimal investments. Therefore, we rewarded activities for which the initial capital was estimated at no more than 50 thousand rubles with an additional plus point.
Tax experts had the right to add or subtract 1 point if they believed that a given business was very simple (or, accordingly, especially difficult) from the point of view of tax accounting and reporting.
Expert accountants could add or deduct 1 point when assessing the complexity of accounting.
In addition, we assessed the dependence of business on the region, that is, we tried to analyze how promising and interesting this or that area is without being tied to Moscow or St. Petersburg. Universalism was marked with an additional positive point.

Now let’s try to evaluate the advantageous and disadvantageous aspects noted by respondents in each area.

Retail store

The leader of the survey scored points due to geographical independence and constant demand. A good argument was made: a person needs to eat everywhere and every day, and he also needs to dress and put on shoes. Moreover, these needs are urgent, so there will always be some kind of income, whether the year is 2000 or 2019. We did not ask to indicate the type of retail store, but in the notes the respondents noted that now it is more correct to open an ordinary bread stall than a tea stall / coffee boutique.

Here is an example of a story from entrepreneur Sergei R. from Tyumen: “Last year, a good friend and I almost simultaneously opened our own business. He rented a space on the ground floor of a residential building for a small grocery store, and I started installing doors, plastic windows and air conditioners. My friend had minimal experience in retail sales, but I worked in my field for almost 10 years.
Summing up the first year of “the voyage itself,” I will note that my friend’s profit is both higher and more stable than mine. It never happens to him that one day he has no income at all. For me, this situation is common. It turns out that in 2019 it is more profitable to sell products than to install windows and doors.”

Of course, without knowing all the factors involved in running a business between friends, it is difficult to draw a clear conclusion in favor of a grocery store. There are plenty of problems too. Our accounting expert pointed out the large amount of paperwork that comes with retail. The tax expert drew attention to the limits on special tax regimes, as well as problems with the sale of alcohol for individual entrepreneurs.

Online store

The online store was able to gain recognition, first of all, for minimal costs when opening. Many respondents added extra points to this type of activity specifically for “starting from scratch.” In addition, they noted the flexibility and wide possibilities in business management, since reorienting an online store to other products is much easier than a regular store.

Opinion of entrepreneur Oleg S. from Moscow: “Online stores are the future, as more and more citizens and organizations use the Internet to purchase goods and order services. It is fast, in some cases cheaper and quite convenient from a service standpoint, since the client chooses how and when he will receive the goods. Not all goods can be purchased through an online store yet, but it is quite possible that in a few years we will even order a loaf of bread and a packet of kefir for breakfast online.”
Of the minuses: (unfortunately, you cannot engage in online trading under the UTII or patent taxation system). There is a certain dependence on payment systems, delivery services, when ordering goods abroad.

Renovation of apartments and offices

The high rating of repair work is also due to the opportunity to start a business with minimal investment. Professionals who know how to work with their hands (and, in addition, plan the process, draw up estimates, select materials, etc.) are highly valued in the labor market. Many of them prefer to run their own business and earn more money, rather than work as an employee for modest remuneration.

This is how individual entrepreneur from the Moscow region Andrey P. characterizes this business: “Repair services are a good business if the entrepreneur himself is a professional in this field. Then it’s easier to come to an agreement with the customer and select performers for a specific project.
Usually in this business everyone knows each other, reputation matters a lot. With a good reputation due to word of mouth, you can work with virtually no advertising costs; orders find you themselves. But at the initial stage you will have to work hard to earn this reputation.”

One of the negative aspects of this business is high competition, which makes it very difficult for a novice entrepreneur to get an order at first. In addition, tax authorities closely monitor repair LLCs and individual entrepreneurs, since this business “attracts” various violations related to tax evasion.

Cafe / Bar / Pizzeria / Dining room

This business occupies an unexpectedly high position in the ranking. It would seem that in a crisis, with falling income levels, the population would reduce spending on trips to a cafe or pizzeria. Actually this is not true. Citizens still spend time in such establishments, but at the same time they have become more demanding about the quality of the menu and service.

Bar owner Karen O. from Voronezh described this situation as follows: “Customers today act on the principle: “If I allocated money to go to a bar with friends to watch a football match, then I need a full range of pleasures - good food and drinks, high-quality broadcasting, comfortable seats, fast service.” If at least something doesn’t suit you completely, then the person goes to another establishment and will not return to you.”

Difficulties are associated primarily with the complexity of accounting and tax accounting, numerous audits and competition from large restaurant chains.

Wholesale

The good thing about business is that even one client per week can bring in income comparable to the monthly income of all clients of a retail store. But where the profits are high, the risks are also high.

Firstly, wholesalers are very sensitive to transport links, since they need to ensure both the delivery of goods and their shipment.
Secondly, the business is highly dependent on suppliers. Any problems from the supplier also have a significant impact on the wholesaler. This is a case where losing a client is less painful than losing a supplier.
Thirdly, wholesale trade is carried out only on , which means it is characterized by complex accounting and tax accounting processes.

Here is the point of view of Eduard F. from Moscow: “Wholesale trade is a profitable business if there is a reliable supplier with a good product. You can have an income of a million rubles a month by selling cheap goods that are in demand. In recent years, wholesalers have become firmly established online, allowing them to shorten the sales cycle and even eliminate the need for warehouse space.”

Passenger and cargo transportation / taxi

Many vehicle owners prefer to earn money on their own, without being hired as a driver by an organization. You can start a business at virtually no cost, just by having at least one car. You can gradually increase your vehicle fleet by attracting hired workers.

A driver with 20 years of experience, Sergey M. from the Ryazan region, noted an interesting feature of his business: “If a person is used to earning money by driving a car, it will not be difficult for him to open his own business related to transportation. In this business, the main problem is “shadow” competitors occupying all crowded places, not paying taxes, but at the same time raising prices. They scare away potential customers who prefer to travel by public transport. There is also great competition from large taxi companies; there is a real advertising war going on.”

Design, web design and website related work

This business is certainly not for everyone. You need to be familiar with a computer, know special programs and be able to use them. That is, without the appropriate experience and education, trying to start your own business in the field of, for example, web design is not the best option. On the other hand, you can write articles for websites, be an administrator of resources and social groups without knowledge of complex programs.

“Competition is very high,” almost all respondents noted this. As well as the fact that this is an excellent example of a business without initial investment. At the start, it is not even necessary to register an LLC or individual entrepreneur, but make do with a civil law agreement. Having acquired several regular customers, you can think about both the company and the staff.

Beauty salon / SPA / sauna / fitness

Opening a beauty salon or SPA salon requires an analysis of the competitive environment. If similar services are already offered in your area or town, then it is worth analyzing whether the demand is sufficient to support another establishment. Despite the noticeable general trend of passion for wellness procedures, this area of activity is not vital for the client. Investments in opening this business are not very large, but their payback cannot be quick.

It's good if you have a prepared client base that is ready to try using your services. It is unwise to rely on clients “from the street”; people rarely enter such places by accident. This is what the owner of a beauty salon from Zelenograd, Tamara R., told us: “I always liked doing nails, trying new polishes and technologies. At first I received friends and acquaintances at home, and then I decided that I needed to do what I loved not in my free time, but constantly. She opened a small salon, where she redirected all her clients.”

Legal services

Legal services are a very specific business, which is designed for people with appropriate education. If legal issues do not seem complicated and tedious to you, you are able to understand any law - you can try! The business is characterized by minimal investments at the start (mainly advertising), brings quite a tangible income (our citizens are accustomed to paying decent fees to lawyers) and, at the same time, does not burden the entrepreneur with accounting and tax audits.

Tax officers often know the laws worse than the lawyers themselves, whom they could go to with an audit. And every successful consultation or service provided brings you not a single client, but also all his closest friends and relatives.

Organization of entertainment events

Our rating is completed by an activity that requires activity and optimism. The target audience is located in any area, because you have a lot of ideas at your disposal for birthdays, corporate events, weddings, professional holidays, and excursions. This also includes the services of a photographer and DJ. You are limited only by your own creative capabilities and the ability to show yourself to potential clients.

You can start a business practically from scratch, offering your services through social networks and websites, friends and acquaintances. The main problem is competition, which is traditionally high in this area. Therefore, you must, of course, be a bright, positive person to whom others are drawn.

Sometimes the most profitable business is the one that leaves you personal time and which you can do more with pleasure. This kind of business can bring good money, but it did not start out as “a way to make a lot of money.” Specialists in their field can always turn their training into a full-fledged business, such as tutors (now this is one of the things that makes it easier to start). Let your business become a hobby, something that you really want and are interested in doing.

Examples of such “tent-type” startups can be seen in parks, at festivals, and in small pavilions next to cultural venues. How it works and what it is based on is in this video (from the exhibition, where you can buy any fashionable trifle, have a delicious meal, and purchase rare items):

As a rule, most beginning entrepreneurs intend to start their business from scratch with minimal costs. At the same time, business ideas for 2017 are considered with the prospect of developing a large enterprise with a large financial turnover.
Wanting to open a business without investment, a young entrepreneur always understands that without some capital it will be quite problematic to bring the idea to life.
However, there are budget projects and, by building them correctly, an entrepreneur will be able not only to earn money, but also to make savings for the development of a young business.

Business ideas for 2017 with minimal investment: steps to their implementation

Before you open a business, let's consider business ideas that allow you to start an activity without significant cash injections.

You can make good money by providing services. The ability to raise children, do massage, do hairstyles, cook, sew and knit will help here.
The provision of intermediary services brings profit, namely: the ability to sell, make profitable purchases and subsequently sell products at a profit.
It is possible to earn money by owning information. That is, having certain knowledge, you can organize tutoring lessons and preparation for exams. It is also possible to write coursework and dissertations.
You can get money by joining someone else's business. But you can join someone else’s business and become a business partner only if you have progressive entrepreneurial abilities. Those who are the “generator” of unique ideas for the development of the company and have knowledge about methods of making money are taken as business partners.

In order for business ideas of 2017 with minimal investment to prove their success, the first steps in establishing a business must be correct and deliberate.

Step 1. Select a project

We look through all the directions and choose the most interesting. At the same time, you need to clearly understand what the consumer will receive and why the offer is unique. We are studying the competition for this product and the possibilities of its access to the market.

Step 2. Draw up a business plan

First, the simplest calculations are made on the costs and income of the project. Its effectiveness and profitability are determined. It is worth deciding on the amount of investment: an analysis of the costs of furniture, the purchase of materials, equipment, renting premises, etc. is carried out. Perhaps some costs will be reduced due to the fact that much is available.

Step 3. Let's get started

An area for rent is selected, the necessary equipment and raw materials are purchased, and the place is prepared for work.

Step 4. Selecting personnel

It is necessary to find people who will help promote the business. They must meet all requirements and be professionals in their field.

Step 5. Launch the production line

A list of first sales is generated. All errors are reviewed and analyzed. The process is regulated on a test basis.

Step 6. We receive the first income based on the results of our activities

In the process of work, the selection of optimal actions is carried out, and strict financial control is carried out. At every opportunity, income is accumulated to develop a business idea.

Current business ideas: 13 best proposals

Since there are hundreds of business ideas, let’s consider the business proposals that will be the most popular in 2017.

Idea 1. Recruitment agency

This project will be suitable for many beginning entrepreneurs. It is important here that the businessman has perseverance, is attentive and sociable. Organizing a project will not be difficult, but this will require registering a business and obtaining the status of a private entrepreneur.
First, all the conditions on the basis of which the service will be provided are determined, and consumer analysis is also carried out. The agency's activities can be aimed directly at the employer or the job seeker. Based on this, the transaction agreements will have a given form.
In order for the activities of a recruitment agency to bring maximum effect, the company needs to develop questionnaires, registration cards and have a list of questions for the first communication with the client. The main equipment of the recruitment agency will be office equipment.
The total cost of opening an agency will include the purchase of 3 tables with chairs, a laptop, a computer, a filing cabinet, telephones and office supplies.
The largest costs will be for renting premises, since other equipment may already be in stock or purchased on sale on advertising sites.
Compiling a database of future clients will not be difficult. To do this, you can use city newspapers, advertising resources on the Internet, city directories of different cities.
It is important for every entrepreneur starting to work in this field of business to know that today the Internet offers many programs for professional recruitment agencies. They allow you to store data, create lists of applicants and employers, and create a resume for the applicant to facilitate employment.
This business project does not require a large number of employees. One or two people can easily cope with the tasks assigned to them, and, at first, it is quite possible to travel to clients by public transport.
The agency must prove to its users that if they want, they can always find a job.

Idea 2. Decoration of halls and premises

This type of business is suitable for people who have a fairly developed sense of taste and style. Here it is important to have the “right vision” of the room and be able to combine colors. An entrepreneur should have a wide selection of decoration options in different directions.
This business has one significant “advantage”: having decorated the room (for example, for a wedding) once, the decorative materials remain for the next use. Today, Internet sites offer their visitors many decoration options, and special courses will help make knowledge professional.
Starting from scratch, an entrepreneur must understand that the customer base will expand gradually. You can begin to develop skills and knowledge by decorating tables, chairs and podiums. Paraphernalia should be worked on meticulously, attention should be paid to even the smallest details.
When creating a successful business, an entrepreneur should look broadly and broadly in different directions, using innovative solutions. So, playing with colors, you can use blue or red colors in the decor, and give the party a retro style in a fabulous atmosphere.
As a rule, customers of corporate events are happy to make extraordinary decisions, since everyone is already accustomed to banal, simple designs. When creating a new design, the entrepreneur needs to take pictures of his masterpiece every time before the start of the celebration to replenish the portfolio with new works. Having many design samples in his portfolio, a businessman can easily guide his client towards some kind of solution.

Idea 3. Photography as a business idea

Photography as a business idea can only be relevant if a young entrepreneur has experience in photography or takes his first steps with talent. At the first stage of business promotion, you need to have equipment and know its functionality. It's okay if the equipment turns out to be semi-professional. Here it is important to professionally see the picture from the right angle and be able to process the photo efficiently.
Today on the Internet you can find many sites with programs and descriptions of their functionality, which make it possible to carry out various operations with photos and improve the appearance of the picture.
The photographer can advertise his activities on social networks, where there will be a demand for his services. By choosing the right angle of a person, taking into account background features, clothing and actual hairstyle, you can get an excellent shot. Defects in the image can be easily removed using Photoshop.
Note to photographer: software for photographers varies. Therefore, to get started, you can use the free demo options that are offered for several days. This will help you understand the functionality of the program. In cases where the program’s functions are not suitable, a businessman can try the capabilities of another service on another resource.
In order for a photographer’s business to bring tangible profits, it is necessary to organize advertising. Every photographer has many successful works in his arsenal. Therefore, by creating a portfolio, a businessman will have the opportunity to clearly show his abilities to the customer. When posting photos on an advertising resource, it is worth indicating the possibility of processing photos from the site.
Business here is simple. On the social network page, the photographer agrees with the customer on the provision of any service, and payment for the work is sent to the web wallet. When making a profit from your business, you should gradually save money to purchase professional photographic equipment.

Idea 4. Apartment renovation business

To start this business, you do not need to make large investments. The main expenses of the activity can include the purchase of tools and work clothes.
Advertising a business always helps promote it; for this purpose, you can use the Internet and place advertisements in city newspapers.
To advertise your business, you need to create a portfolio with photographs of your work. It will become a clear example of the professional capabilities of an entrepreneur.

Idea 5. Baking flour products (cakes, pastries and buns)

The culinary business usually has a lot of competition, but despite this, it is always popular and brings good profits. The problematic side of the business is that the entrepreneur must scrupulously observe the proportions in the dish and strictly monitor the temperature and cooking time of the cake.
Important components of this business are the splendor and taste of the dish. Therefore, it is better to bake cakes for yourself first. The reason for this will be home events or birthdays of friends and acquaintances.
Recently, confectionery mastic has become very popular, which allows you to effectively time baked goods for a specific celebration.
When “your hand is full,” you can start baking cakes. For example, a stork can be molded and baked for a newborn’s discharge. You can also make an analogue of a rattle with your own hands. The cake that will be baked for a girl’s birthday can be decorated with flowers in a basket and a string of pearls. A bargain dedicated to a guy’s birthday can be decorated with his favorite car model.
Every time you bake, it’s worth experimenting and creating new masterpieces. The income of any confectioner will directly depend on advertising and image. Therefore, a portfolio with photographs of finished cakes will generate demand for products.
Today, the global network is filled with photographs of cakes from different confectioners and it is easy to find them by entering the necessary information into an Internet search engine. The success of this project, at the initial stage, will primarily depend on good advertising. To do this, you will need to create an online store with a portfolio and a description of the structure of each cake. Also, the site should have a form through which you can accept orders.
To begin with, you can select and ideally work out several recipes for cakes, determine the exact composition of products using the method of selection and sampling, and then in the future baking will not bring problems and disappointments.

You can determine the cost of products by calculating the cost of products. Some novice cooks set their price based on competitors' price lists. But options are possible when the chef indicates the cost of the work, and the ingredients for the product are purchased by the customer.

Idea 6. Organizing a vending business

The business consists of purchasing devices that carry out sales themselves. The essence of the device is that it dispenses certain products immediately after bills are inserted into it. To install it, you will need a small area and a place to connect to electricity.
To say that this business will not require investment is to say a lie. Yes, investments will be required, but not as significant as one might assume at the beginning.
To develop such a project, you will need to register your activity and become an individual entrepreneur and be sure to conclude an agreement with the organization where the vending machine will be installed.
You can service the device yourself; for this you will need to supply consumables on time, collect the proceeds and leave money for change. A vending business can be based on the sale of coffee, tea, peanuts, chips and even videos.
In order for this business to generate income, before opening it, you should analyze the costs and calculate the profit margin.

A lot of business information is posted on special portals. There discussions are held on the positive and negative aspects of business, and experienced people give advice on how to organize it.
It is worth talking with such people, learning about the differences in devices and their costs, finding out where the devices are installed and where they bring the greatest profit.

Idea 7. Organization of corporate events

Here, it is worth immediately noting that this type of business will not survive without organizational skills. At first glance, it seems that the presenter easily communicates with the team. In reality, only composure, confidence and the ability to attract attention can unite people in an event.
Only over the years does experience and the ability to level out any situation appear, change the program on the fly and adapt to customers.
Scripts, songs, ideas are offered on the Internet in a chic assortment. The concept of any holiday should be thought through thoroughly.
To begin with, it’s worth testing your strength and organizing a celebration in a family circle for 10 people. Decide on its direction, select music, choose interesting competitions, work on paraphernalia.
Before the festive event, all the nuances are thought through. When there is a fairy tale in the script, costumes and masks are invented, and scenery is created for the stage. Over time, you develop the skills to create the right atmosphere. When you have confidence in communicating with the team, you can offer services and look for customers.
In order for there to be demand for the service offered, business advertising should be organized. To do this, advertisements are placed on the Internet, published in city newspapers and magazines, and work is being done to create colorful booklets. A good advertisement for organizing corporate events would be your own website with a description of services and photographs.
It is worth paying special attention to the diversity of the repertoire. Often people in small towns, attending various events, are faced with the same scenario, which negatively affects the mood of vacationers.

Idea 8. A mini fast food cafe is being created

The goal of this direction is to sell home-made food products in crowded places. This business should be located near universities, shopping centers and hospitals. The essence of the business is that a specific menu must be developed for each location.
The food assortment may include various sandwiches, French fries familiar to many, and a variety of salads, arranged in compact containers. Drinks should include coffee, tea and various juices. A prerequisite for creating a business will be its registration, after which you can look for a place where food trade will meet state requirements.
If the fast food preparation business is set up as a pre-cooking workshop, then a small area and disposable plastic utensils will be required, and this will significantly reduce the cost of purchasing consumables.
For fast food, no seating is required, since quickly prepared products are sold, which are usually eaten on the go. Thus, shawarma, pita bread with meat, and gyro are in greatest demand today. To open a business you will need a desktop, a display case, a refrigeration unit, a microwave oven and a kettle.
An entrepreneur who has decided to open a business in the catering industry should definitely study the essence of the article:.

Idea 9. Realtor services

Today you can meet many novice realtors who do not have official registration of their activities, but still have a good income. The purpose of their activity is to select from a large list of advertisements posted on a social network (or newspapers) real estate suitable for the consumer.
To make sure of your strengths and capabilities, you should first try yourself in renting apartments. If there are many educational institutions and various enterprises in the city, then there will always be a chance for business success. By looking at information on different sources, you need to learn to analyze offers, meet with home owners and constantly place your advertisements for the provision of realtor services.
The work of a realtor includes constant work with websites and posting information on them about the options for sale. A realtor is always on the move and traveling.
In this business, it is important to quickly respond to calls from applicants. The standard contract develops all the conditions for the service provided, which are beneficial for both parties, and also specifies payment for the service.
As a rule, in the real estate market, the average payment for a realtor's services for renting a property will be 50% of the rental price. Having gained experience in renting out apartments, an entrepreneur can simultaneously begin to work out options for buying and selling real estate.
Russian legislation allows the presence of an intermediary at the time of signing the purchase and sale agreement, but he does not sign the documents. Considering that information is in constant flux in the real estate market, a realtor must constantly monitor the flow of objects and promptly inform his clients about the emergence of profitable options.

Idea 10. Equipment repair services

Only those entrepreneurs who have the knowledge and tools will be able to bring this business idea to life. As you know, equipment breaks down periodically, so there is always a queue at repair shops.
A technician who repairs equipment will always be in demand if he can prove the quality of his work. Equipment repair can be done at home or in a rental space.

Work for repairing a TV, refrigerator, computer or microwave oven is always paid decently, so the business will be guaranteed to be profitable.

Idea 11. Dating services

This line of business, in modern life, is gaining more and more popularity every year. The ability to organize a meeting and make it bright, romantic and memorable, taking into account the wishes of the customer, will allow the entrepreneur to make his profitable business sustainable.
To open a dating business, you will need hard work to study this topic on various Internet resources. So, when listening to the wishes of the client, the business founder should offer many of his options, including a romantic candlelit dinner with flowers and an extreme date with a parachute jump.
A good advertisement for a business on the Internet will be bright photographs from the portfolio, telephone numbers and all addresses of the organizations involved.
The cost of services is set taking into account the complexity of the event. Here it should be understood that in addition to paying for services for organizing a date, the customer will have to pay for the services of the performer.

Idea 12. Food delivery services

In this direction, a business idea will be successful if the entrepreneur is able to prepare delicious food and present it beautifully.
The essence of the idea is to compile a small list of homemade dishes and purchase a given set of products. Prepared dishes are delivered daily upon request, a list of orders for the next day is compiled, and orders are delivered to consumers at the specified addresses at the required time.

Idea 13. Freight transportation services

To organize cargo transportation services, you need to have a truck. The service will begin to work if business advertising is organized. To do this, it is enough to place advertisements in the local newspaper and advertising sites on the Internet.
To better organize this business proposal, you will need to find loaders who agree to work under the given conditions. Typically, loaders are paid for the number of floors or time worked.

Manufacturing business ideas: 5 interesting directions

Opening a production facility has always been a troublesome, complex, but promising undertaking. If desired, every entrepreneur can find his own interesting niche.
Let's look at five win-win business ideas.

Option 1. Furniture making

For the manufacture of furniture, you can choose different directions - it could be kitchen furniture, office furniture, cabinet furniture, and so on.
To start a furniture workshop you will need:

conduct an analysis of the furniture market in your city;
draw up a business plan for production;
equip a workshop;
find staff;
organize advertising of the project.

To ensure success, the company needs to organize large-scale advertising: create an online store where photographs of completed orders will be posted, describe the materials used and emphasize their quality. Having contact information will allow you to quickly contact the manufacturer and receive any advice.

Option 2. Production of foam plastic

The material is widely used in construction; it is widely used to insulate the facades of residential buildings. This business, with the right approach, will bring high and stable profits.
For the project to work, it will be necessary to set up a foam production line. The main expense item is a foaming unit, a storage bin, a machine for cutting products and other equipment.

Option 3. Recycling old tires

Today, processing old tires into crumb rubber or fuel oil is one of the most profitable businesses. However, for a business to truly make a profit, it is necessary to conduct a market analysis, study competition, demand, find a consumer for the product in advance, and only then begin to bring the idea to life.

Option 4. Making souvenirs

The production of souvenirs with the logo of the customer company is a half-empty niche. Today, companies prefer to give their employees gifts with their brand inscription. Therefore, setting up such production means opening a profitable business. You can use office folders, mugs and even T-shirts as souvenirs.

Option 5. Mini-enterprise for the production of hardware

The most popular product in such a mini-enterprise will be fasteners; the demand for them is always and everywhere active. Buyers of hardware will be both professional firms and construction stores.

Having studied the manufacturing business ideas described above, the entrepreneur can only choose the option that suits his conditions.

Conclusion

Business ideas for 2017 offer many options that involve both minimal and large expenses. If you wish, finding a free and interesting niche will not be difficult. It is important to determine exactly what the consumer needs.
Counting on minimal investments, experts recommend that young businessmen start a project by testing their strength, clarifying the difficult aspects of the project and finding ways to solve problems. Only after passing the first tests will an entrepreneur be able to understand that he has a burning desire to create and create a successful business. However, when implementing any business idea, you should remember that only perseverance, courage, patience and perseverance will help you confidently get on your feet.

Beginning entrepreneurs who want to open their own business can choose one of two promising areas of activity - come up with a new original idea or start a business that has been proven over the years with high profitability. There are many options that allow you to earn good money literally from scratch. In this article, we will tell you how to open a profitable business with small investments in 2019.

Installation of gates and fences

This is a fairly profitable business with low investments. In order to start such a business, you will need 50-80 thousand rubles. There is practically no competition in this area, or rather there is, but demand significantly exceeds supply. If you do your job well and offer affordable prices, there will always be customers.

It is most profitable to engage in such a business in small towns, since suburban construction has recently begun to actively develop. City dwellers want to move closer to nature, so they buy land in rural areas to build cottages or small houses on them. As a rule, not a single household farm can do without a fence, so this idea of a small business with minimal investment can safely be called eternal. The only drawback of this way of earning money is seasonality.

Neil bar

Beauty is a topic that always interests the fair sex. Therefore, any business idea with small investments related to the beauty industry will bring decent profits even during a crisis. The most popular services are manicures, as well as nail and eyelash extensions. Recently, nail bars have begun to open en masse in large cities. These are small islands made in the form of a bar counter. Most often, nail bars are found in shopping centers, where there is a high traffic volume of potential customers. Business women often don’t have enough time to visit a beauty salon, so they prefer to get eyelash extensions or get a manicure at a nail bar.

Such a manicure studio will cost you 100–150 thousand rubles. If you manage to promote the point, it will bring 65-75 thousand rubles of net profit monthly.

Reinforced concrete rings

Another profitable small business idea with small investments is the production of reinforced concrete rings. A team of three workers can make 10 rings per day, with a diameter of 70–150 cm. Each product can be sold for 3 thousand rubles, respectively, the daily revenue will be 30 thousand rubles.

The production of reinforced concrete rings can be organized directly in the open air. The most important thing is the ability to connect to a power source and a flat area to work on. One mold for making rings will cost you 50 thousand rubles. The initial investment can be returned in literally 1 month.

Production of fireweed tea

Modern people care about their health, so they prefer to buy environmentally friendly, natural products. If you haven’t decided yet, purchase the necessary equipment and start producing Ivan tea. The leaves and stems of this plant make a tasty, healthy drink that has sedative and other medicinal properties.

Such a small business from scratch with minimal investment can be opened by anyone who wants to improve their financial situation. If you do not have start-up capital to purchase special equipment, at first you can make do with improvised means. The most important thing is to follow the technology and then you will get a high-quality natural product.

Raw materials for the production of such products can be collected in the field or in the country. Ivan tea grows everywhere like a weed, so there will be no problems with its preparation. The easiest way to sell finished products is on the Internet or in bulk to stores and supermarkets. This small business idea with minimal investment in a small town will allow you to make a decent fortune literally from scratch. Over time, you can expand the enterprise, purchase special equipment and start producing other types of tea from medicinal herbs.

Construction crew

Despite the fact that the real estate market is experiencing a strong decline, private construction does not stop. In addition, people are renovating their houses and apartments, so if you are thinking about what kind of business you can open with minimal investment, try organizing your own construction team.

Hire several craftsmen, purchase the necessary tools and advertise in the local press. That's all you need to get started. If you fulfill all orders efficiently, clients will recommend your team to their acquaintances and friends, so you will not be left without orders. This is the simplest small business idea without investment that works in any economic conditions.

Turkey breeding

This is quite a labor-intensive activity, so such a business with a small investment of money has not become widespread in our country. Chicken meat is the most popular on the market, but despite this, turkey meat has its regular consumers who care about their health and therefore prefer to buy only healthy natural products.

About business and What to do in a crisis?

If you live in a village and don’t know what kind of business to open with small investments, start raising turkeys at home. You will spend 25-30 thousand rubles on purchasing young animals. About the same amount of money will be needed for food. The main diet of turkeys is corn, wheat and carrots. Grain can be purchased from local farmers, and corn and carrots can be grown on your own plot. This approach will allow you to significantly increase the profitability of your business. Turkey farming is one of the best small business ideas without investment for rural residents.

What is the most important thing in business? Right! The main thing is to seize the moment and the right wave in order to open your own business exactly when all the prerequisites for its successful promotion exist. To do this, it is necessary to analyze market conditions globally, choosing a specific period and taking into account many factors: the current state of affairs, economic forecasts for the future, the level of competition, supply and demand. Such an event will take a lot of time. Therefore, we suggest you save it by reading this article, which already contains the best business ideas of 2017 according to our analysts.

Internet business: ideas for 2017!

In 2017, Internet business will remain the same profitable niche as before, of course, if you invest all your time and effort into it. Internet business does not forgive half-hearted efforts. Such a working rhythm is a direct path to losing your money. Keep this in mind and start exploring the most profitable online business ideas of 2017.

Traffic arbitrage - what is it..? And how much does he bring?

This is pure business, since the point is to “buy cheaper and sell more expensive.” What will be the product? As you understand, traffic, that is, visitors to a certain resource per day. All websites need traffic. Even very popular ones, because the higher the website traffic, the more profit it brings. So, in 2017, traffic will be needed as before, but the main thing is that traffic arbitrage, as a direction in the Internet business, is not yet sufficiently occupied. The competition here is not as high as, say, among those who sell clothes through online stores, or the same copywriters who literally fight for every customer.

The scheme of such a business is not as complicated as it might seem: you buy (or attract free) traffic - find someone who will buy it at a profit - transfer the traffic to the buyer’s resource.

There are different ways to “get” traffic:

buy on special exchanges, where you can immediately sell it (KupiTraff, Popunder, Wizard TraffStock);
receive through contextual, banner, teaser advertising networks;
attract visitors to your website, and then send them to your partner’s website through a referral link;
generate traffic from communities on social networks and redirect it.

Next, the received traffic needs to be resold at a profit in order to cover your financial costs (if you bought it) or temporary ones (if you “extracted” it for free). They pay for traffic by “affiliate programs” or affiliate programs that can be freely found on the Internet. The more there are, the better. Everyone pays differently, but you can derive an approximate formula that will reflect your possible income: feel free to multiply the amount of money invested in arbitration by two - that’s the profit that you can get from this business.

There are still only a few art traders: some are scared by the scary name, some are not ready to devote every day to this business, because you need to do it seriously... In any case, if you were interested in fresh and unhackneyed business ideas 2017 for the Internet, this option You can give honorable first place.

Dropshipping! Open an online store without goods or warehouse!

Dropshipping is direct deliveries from the manufacturer to the buyer, with you acting as an intermediary between them. Mediation consists of:

creating (or renting) a trading platform;
placing orders;
consulting clients.

It turns out that the businessman does not buy goods with his own money and does not look for a warehouse. The product passes by him, as it were, but for the fact that he helped formalize the purchase/sale transaction, he receives the difference between the price set by the manufacturer and the price at which the product is sold on his platform.

A typical example of a store using the dropshipping system is modnakasta in Ukraine. There are products from various brands at the best prices, but of course, the creators “twist” it in such a way that they themselves are not left with anything. But even in this situation, the cost of clothing is cheaper than in retail stores.

Finding a supplier for your store is not a problem - there are entire databases of suppliers that even offer the use of ready-made platforms. For example, www.insales.ru.

Surely you want to get an answer to the burning question - how much does dropshipping bring per month? My friend Angelina has 2 stores (one for clothes, the second for gadgets) and from them she receives a net income of 27,000 rubles per month. If we take not a specific example, but the situation in general, then there are stores that bring in a million or more a month, and there are those that do not bring profit at all. And the latter - 80%. Therefore, opening an online store using the dropshipping system is not a guarantee of stable earnings. It’s not enough to open it - you also need to promote it and win a customer base.

Trading or trading on exchanges!

The rating entitled “Business Ideas 2017” would be incomplete if we did not mention trading on financial exchanges among the options for online business. This idea will be relevant for any year, since you can always make money from fluctuations in exchange rates (as well as other assets). The cyclical nature of the market determines its constant changes, which are a source of income for traders: if he correctly predicts their direction, he will make a profit, if not, he will lose his deposit. This is not a casino or fortune telling on coffee grounds! Trading is a science that needs to be learned. You can do this yourself (by studying information on the Internet), or you can do it with the help of brokers (by taking training courses with them).

By the way, about brokers. These are intermediaries without whom you cannot trade. They provide a trading platform through which you enter the market and place trades. Be careful, as there are many scammers among them.

Here is a list of those brokers whose reliability has been tested by time and real traders:

IQ Option;
UTRADER;
GO Option.

Sometimes it is profitable to bet on young brokers, as they offer favorable conditions, give many bonuses, and hold promotions. But there is also a risk - it is unknown how long he will last and how his activities will end. Maybe another scammer? Especially for our readers, we name a young broker whose integrity cannot be doubted - Bintrader.com. It’s up to you to decide which of them to cooperate with... You can find another broker altogether - not from this list. There are a lot of opinions and advice on trader forums; studying them will also be useful.

How much will you earn from implementing such a business idea? It depends on:

how much you will deposit;
how much will you open a deal for?
exactly how many trades you will open, with what intensity;
what interest does the broker pay on successfully closed transactions?

On average, your earnings, depending on your level of training and trading experience, will be as follows:

Professional – 4000-5000 USD in a week (of course, only a few achieve such success and not in one day).
Specialist – 1000-2000 USD during the week.
Beginner – 100-200 USD in a week - already an excellent result.

As in any business, trading involves risks. Beginners should especially remember this. The first deposit is most often lost in 90% of cases. Therefore, be prepared for this, but do not give up - this is your invaluable experience as a trader, which in the future can lead to consistently high earnings.

What to sell to earn income? Business ideas 2017!

Progress does not stand still, so the article began with the most progressive business ideas that can be implemented via the Internet. Now let’s talk about the classic genre in business – sales. This niche will always be profitable, since people are constantly buying and selling something. The downside of sales is that there is a lot of competition in this field. But you can find such an “unused” assortment that will have no competitors (or rather, almost no competitors, because competition is always and everywhere, and monopolies have long since sunk into oblivion). You can also choose a current product for 2017 that will be especially interesting. Below you are offered just such options.

Sales of electronic cigarettes: is there really such a demand for them?

Over the past year, there has been a real boom, which is due to the fact that people began to massively abandon cigarettes and hookahs in favor of electronic cigarettes. Moreover, today it is prestigious and fashionable. If you smoke an electronic cigarette, you are trendy. For young people, the presence of this accessory means that you are cool and presentable. Although it’s not just about “coolness” - many people simply like this thing, so they do not deny themselves the pleasure. After all, e-cigarettes are used by those who want to quit smoking, as they do not contain nicotine.

It is best to focus on an unusual (even souvenir) assortment:

Vipers (steamed cigarettes);
electronic cigarettes with initials and other inscriptions;
Smoking flash drives are a great gift for an office worker who is quitting smoking.

Vipers today are a “super” hot commodity. To open a store to sell them, you will need around 120 thousand to 150 thousand rubles (not Moscow prices). Such a business idea will pay for itself in 2-4 months. In the first months, “dirty” income per month will be about 120 thousand rubles. Subtract the cost of goods from it - about half of the net income will remain. If you hired a seller and rented space, then subtract these expenses from the remaining amount. But if you continue in the same spirit, then after another period the income may be twice as much. Do you agree that 200-odd thousand rubles is not a bad monthly income?

We are organizing fruit supplies from Southeast Asia!

For some reason, such fruits on the shelves of our supermarkets (meaning ordinary ones) are very rare, although their cost is not so high. Most likely, the shortage of such fruits is caused by the fact that it is difficult to arrange direct deliveries, since mainly the Thais (mostly fruits are imported from Thailand) work with tonnage transportation, the cargo of which starts from 1 ton or more.

You can try to negotiate with them about smaller deliveries. If you succeed, you will be on top! Alternatively, you can try buying fruits and berries in Vietnam. Local farmers are less spoiled by the attention of foreign investors (that is, you) and even ordinary tourists; perhaps it will be easier to negotiate with them.

If you can’t arrange wholesale supplies, place advertisements for one-time work! There are many forums where Russians who moved to Thailand or Vietnam sit. They may agree to help their fellow countryman or find a suitable person from the locals. In this case, you will write him a list of fruits - they will be stingy - and will transfer the parcel in your name through the cargo carriers.

You can offer customers the following types of fruits:

Pattaya;
rambutan;
coconut;
mangosteen;
durian;
mango;
papaya;
Pamela, etc.

All this is a standard set at local markets, which is always in stock. The cost of these fruits per 1 kg in Southeast Asia varies from 35 to 100 rubles. Agree, this is not much. But taking into account the fact that the dollar has grown several times against the ruble, air travel, and in general, holidays in these countries are no longer affordable for many. But sometimes everyone wants something exotic, so your proposal in 2017 - buy fruits and berries from Thailand - will be very relevant. Even if you double the price of the product, and then include the cost of transportation and labor costs for your intermediary, it will still be more profitable than flying back and forth, and definitely more pleasant than buying weathered fruit in expensive supermarkets.

Entertainment business ideas relevant for 2017!

The further it goes, the more people want “bread and circuses”... The more organized their lives are, the more they are willing to spend on entertainment. In principle, despite all the forecasts that were made after the introduction of anti-Russian sanctions, the economy continues to develop, and mass impoverishment of the population is not observed. Therefore, in 2017 people will be ready to pay for holidays and recreation. In this regard, pay attention to entertainment business ideas 2017.

Vape bar opening!

Although the law does not prohibit smoking electronic cigarettes, including vapes, in public places, problems still arise from time to time for their owners. For example, not all establishments will meet the desire to smoke with a bang. And this is quite understandable:

Some visitors may not like this, so the establishment may lose a client because of you;
instead of, for example, smoking a hookah - you, one might say, come with your own smoking instrument, again - the establishment is at a loss.

That’s why a relevant business idea for 2017 will be the opening of a vape bar, where visitors could come with their electronic cigarette and enjoy the atmosphere of your cozy bar, while drinking tea or something stronger, or even cooler - they could come to take you have a vape for rent.

So far this business niche is empty. An example of the implementation of such a business idea can so far only be found in megacities (Moscow, St. Petersburg), so the possible profit will be given based on the indicators of, so to speak, metropolitan establishments. So, income and costs will be as follows:

For a vape bar where food and drinks will be served (cafe type), the costs will be 5 million rubles, the monthly profitability will be 700 thousand - 1 million rubles.
For a vape bar like a club of interests, where games and competitions will be held, the opening costs will be about 600 thousand rubles, the profitability will be 1 million rubles.

Organization of quests outdoors and indoors! How to do it?

Quests have appeared in the vastness of Russia since 2014, and the first to open the network of quest rooms “Claustrophobia” were three friends – Kadyrov, Kuznetsov, Kravtsov.

This is an interesting business idea, and also promising - people have long been tired of cinema and restaurants, they want an active and extraordinary vacation. You can open an quest room in the form of a fear room, a crime scene, a meeting place with paranormal phenomena, or just a chamber room from which you “can’t get out.” As an alternative to indoor quests, you can organize outdoor quests.

To open a quest room in a large city, you will need financial investments in the region of approximately 1 million rubles. This is if you started an independent business. Opening quests under a franchise will cost from 90,000 to 300,000 rubles.

Return of invested money is possible within a period of 1 to 4 months. In the best case, your monthly income will be 500,000 thousand rubles.

Tabletop entertainment club: what to buy for it?

If quest rooms are designed more for the public from 16 to 30 years old, then a wider audience will come to such an institution. This means there will be more visitors - there will be grandparents with grandchildren, parents with children, and just entire student or school groups.

All you need is:

Find a room;
Stylize it as a playroom (unboring design, bright colors, comfortable furniture);
Buy board games (monopoly, football, hockey, Elias, twister, mafia, lotto, etc.)

The starting capital depends on the “scope” of the club and the city. If this is the capital, then it can be 300,000 rubles, and if it is a province, then 30,000 rubles. One visitor will bring you about 1000-1500 rubles a month by Moscow standards and 300-500 rubles by small town standards. The number of visitors per month will depend on your advertising, so you can then calculate the monthly income yourself.

Holding exhibitions: what will we exhibit?

The fact that people were massively attracted to art in 2016 can be judged at least by the record number of visitors to Serov’s exhibition. Now we will also talk about exhibitions, but not necessarily paintings. An excellent business idea would be to organize such exhibitions where people can find someone or buy something.

For example, in big cities, restaurateurs are faced with the idea of finding good chefs. You can arrange a kind of master class exhibition, where chefs will prepare their masterpieces in front of spectators and potential employers, and you will receive a good income for organizing this show. Which one?

It will consist of several components:

participation of chefs in the exhibition can cost from 1000 to 2000 rubles;
spectator “tickets” - 200-400 rubles;

For one such event you can earn 50-100 thousand rubles. But just keep in mind that first you will need to find a furnished premises and advertise the show.

Similar exhibitions can be held among hairdressers, needlewomen, florists, etc. Thus, you will act as an intermediary between the employer and his future employee, and also give visitors the opportunity to receive aesthetic pleasure.

How much income can you get from an anti-cafe?

The point of an anti-cafe is that here people pay not for the food and drinks purchased, but for the time spent. In fact, the treat is provided free of charge.

The anti-cafe hosts poetry evenings, Mafia games, various master classes, yoga classes, film screenings, drawing lessons, etc.

The demand for antique cafes has been growing in recent years. 2017 will be no exception. Even in large cities there are not so many of them yet, let alone small ones... If you open one anti-cafe in a small town, it will undoubtedly bring big profits! By the way, which one?

Is renting a bike profitable? Seasonal business!

It’s worth noting right away that this is a seasonal business, however... The popularization of a healthy lifestyle is doing its job - today there are a lot of people who want to switch from a car or public transport to a real exercise bike. In 2017, there will definitely be fewer of them... Therefore, starting somewhere in May (or better yet, in April), you can start preparing for the implementation of a business idea called “bike sharing”. What will you need?

Bicycles;
Ammunition;
Garage;
Equipment maintenance personnel.

The starting point where they will be concentrated should be located in a spacious and convenient area for movement: a square, a park, an embankment, a square, large shopping centers. Place your bikes where young people like to hang out, as this is your target audience.

Let's talk about expenses. The minimum price for a bicycle for adults that will not fall apart while moving is 10,000 rubles. Ideally, much more expensive. If you start with the minimum, then you need at least 6 units of equipment. Plus add to this the rent of the garage and the salary of the employees if you hire them. These are your costs.

Now about income. If the cost of an hour of skiing is 100-150 rubles, and a day is somewhere around 500-800, then your profit per month can be from 50 to 100 thousand rubles.

Service industry: the most profitable ideas of 2017!

Business ideas in 2017 cannot be left without business options in the service sector. On the one hand, this is a more expensive business, since in addition to materials, premises, equipment, you will also have to pay staff. On the other hand, the demand for services never dries up (they are much more necessary than entertainment), especially those that will be discussed below.

Order pick-up point: how to open it?

The point is that you enter into an agreement with online stores, and they deliver orders to your premises for their customers, from where they then pick them up. It is better to locate your office in residential areas - this is where it is most convenient for people to pick up their parcels. As a rule, the goods are delivered to your point by the “forces” of the partner and at his own expense.

In addition to the actual issuance, you can also offer the client the following services:

parcel packaging;
exchange and return of goods;
home delivery.

From this you will have additional profit, in addition to the percentage that the online store agrees to pay you.

All you need to implement this business idea is:

premises;
racks;
computer with internet;
cash machine.

On average, this will cost you 150,000 rubles. A good income for a beginner can be considered 30,000 rubles. The longer your location operates, the more you invest in advertising, the more profitable this business idea will be.

A nail bar is the most profitable option!

Modern business women are always busy, but despite this they manage to look great. In particular, express nail salons or nail bars, as they are also called, help them with this. They are usually located in large shopping centers and look like this: a manicurist sits at the bar and receives clients without an appointment. Such “islands” of beauty in the shopping center are very popular, because you never know when you will have a free moment... and even when it appears, the master does not always have the opportunity to receive you at that particular time. Therefore, nail bars have proven their worth and promise as a business idea over the past few years.

2018 was the fourth year under the import substitution program due to the introduction of bilateral sanctions between our country and European countries. This, on the one hand, limited access to cheap Western loans. On the other hand, it became an incentive to open new business areas and increase capacity in them. The changes have affected almost all areas of the market, especially the consumer market, and continue to surprise everyone with new ideas. Even the Western press noted the undoubted success of such programs. Thus, back in January 2016, Bloomberg published an article stating that Russia had become one of the world's leading suppliers of pork, whereas three years ago it was an importer of this product. Journalists and experts explain this state of affairs by serious government support for agriculture in the Russian Federation, taking place recently. But this is far from the only reason.

Leveling out competition allowed entrepreneurs to expand sales markets and increase production capacity, to be confident in the presence of demand for their products.

Agriculture and livestock breeding are far from the only sectors that will see development and success. New types of business in Russia in 2018 are appearing and will appear, according to analysts’ forecasts, in such promising industries as:

tourism (domestic);
innovation, communication and technology;
production of machinery and equipment for agricultural purposes;
education and science;
entertainment industry;
production and release of cosmetics, cosmetology, procedures and drugs of a new generation.

The most profitable new types of small businesses

Analysts on our portal assessed in descending order the industries in which profitability in small businesses was highest in 2018. Their forecasts are based on complex aggregate indicators that take into account factors such as: support for science and innovation, measures of state and municipal support, changes in legislation on land and natural resources, taxation features, and expert opinions of reputable businessmen.
The rating is as follows:

Food production. The production of cheeses in the Moscow region has already been established and has successfully entered the wide market; directions for the production of pasta, confectionery, dumplings, wines, and dairy products of the “premium” segment are being developed, which have successfully replaced European suppliers.
Manufacturing of equipment for the agricultural and food industries. Many capacities that have not been used for 10 years or more have already been reactivated; their re-equipment and modernization are being established. Active state assistance programs in the Belgorod and Rostov regions, Krasnodar Territory, in the republics of Tatarstan and Bashkiria allow us to conclude that mass production of mini-tractors and combines, full-cycle mobile food processing plants, including those based entirely on Russian production technologies, will soon be established. Among the leading companies implementing this direction are:
- JSC "Penzmash";
