You can start a profitable business with little investment.
Business with little investment
Small start-up capital is a loose concept. It can be either 500 rubles or 5 thousand. Agree, now both of these amounts are not huge, especially for starting a business.

Almost all citizens are interested in their business. After all, how pleasant it is to work when you know perfectly well that almost everything earned with blood and then will fall into your pocket, avoiding the wallets of the eternally harmful bosses.

1. Why is it important to start a business with minimal investment?
Before we move on to business ideas, I will explain a couple of very important aspects of starting any business. Believe me, these simple and key knowledge will save you a lot of money and time (tested on yourself)!🙂First what you need to understand - any business starts with small! At the beginning, all you need is to find out if the business idea will be in demand in your city, i.e. Will it pay off and make money!
Therefore, at the beginning no need to invest all your money (especially if you don’t have a lot of them) into a business idea – especially if you are still a “newbie” in business. In the early stages, you should have only the most necessary what it takes to get your business up and running!
For example, many start their business right at home, in a garage, in a country house, on the Internet ... - there is nothing unusual about this!
⭐️ The bottom line is that the most great risks of failure arise precisely at the stage of opening your business, so first try to minimize your investment as much as possible. Because until you try, you won’t know whether this business idea will be profitable.
If you have very little or practically no money, then choose business ideas that require only the investment of your time (there are such - usually it is the service sector)! Some of these business ideas from scratch will be described in this article!
Now let's finally move on to business ideas that are usually great for a small town! :)
2. Business ideas with minimal investment in a small town: TOP 30 proven ideas
There are really a lot of business ideas - you can’t count them in one article, but we tried to select the most relevant ones for you and with minimal investment!
Of course, very detailed description each of the ideas is not enough for one article (and you probably won’t be interested in reading everything 😀), so we will provide the main and most valuable information.
Thus, the main thing in this business:
- find appropriate place (outlet from 8 to 40 sq. meters );
- negotiate with window manufacturers on deliveries;
- find a measurer and window fitters.
Moreover, measurers and installers often have a piece-rate salary - from completed orders!
Your main expenses will fall on the rent and equipment of the premises.
Although the competition in this niche is usually above average, nevertheless, it is more than possible to open a successful business!
💡An example of a successful business!
In our city (about 100 thousand people), a small office (about 10-15 sq. m. in total) was very successfully opened for the sale of window installation, as well as roller shutters, stretch ceilings ...But most importantly, it was opened right next to big store building materials- that is, where there is a direct target audience! Accordingly, some of the clients who came for building materials order windows from them (by the way, I am no exception, I was also their client😀).
Yes, and if you do not have your own suitable window delivery vehicle, then you can use the services of a freight forwarder.
Business idea number 7: Stock and second-hand clothing stores
Many people have a desire to buy quality clothes, but most can not afford it.Therefore, there are more and more stores that sell fashion and branded clothes mainly from Europe at discounted prices (stock and second-hand stores).
Stock stores offer discounted collections from past seasons, while second-hand stores seem to new clothes(without visible wear), but which has already been in use.
This great idea for a small town, since competition in this area is usually very low.
☝️Note!
To open this business will do room area from 30 to 100 sq. meters. At the same time, it is important that the store is located in a passable place.You also need to carefully consider the choice of clothing suppliers in order to form a suitable assortment. Suppliers, by the way, sell clothes in bags (usually from 20 kg.) At a price from 100 to 500 rubles/kg .
This is very profitable business, which does not require large investments and quickly pays off!
Business Idea #8: Mini Bakery
Another great business idea is to open your own mini-bakery.
Nowadays, bakeries are very popular among the population and all because there you can always buy always fresh bakery products for every taste.
Even in small towns A mini-bakery can bring in a good income, as the competition here is usually low.
☝️ If pick up suitable premises(in order not to invest a lot of money in its reconstruction, and even more so construction from scratch), then you can invest within 200-300 tr.
Average cost per car wash 250-600 r.(depending on the city), the cost is about 100-250 rubles. Total income on average 150-300 r. from one sink .
The income of a car wash directly depends on the location, so you need to take this seriously and analyze the main busy roads near hypermarkets, residential areas and choose a place with the highest car flow and optimal rent.
Also Additional services will increase the profitability of a car wash:
- car polish,
- salon cleaning.
Payback 2-3 months - depends on the flow of customers, regular customers make discounts.
Business Idea #12: Hair Salon
Hairdressing salons are very popular and in demand among the population. In addition, large investments are not required to organize such a business.
Despite the fact that competition in this area is usually great, nevertheless, there are still “white spots” on the city map where you can profitably open a hairdresser.
Example!
In our city, a network of hairdressing salons was opened 2-3 years ago, which began to position themselves as budget-friendly (that is, they are aimed exclusively at an audience that is trying to save on everything). It was this positioning that became their key to success!It's about why in business important to be different !
It is better to place a hairdressing salon in a residential complex or mall, in general, there is patency and at the same time the rent is not much overpriced.
By the way, it is often people who have completed courses / training as a hairdresser who open hairdressing salons. In this case, at first you don’t even need to look for employees.
Mini-hairdressing salon for 2 places can be opened only from 150 thousand rubles. Investments mainly involve:
- Costs of renting premises;
- Purchase of the necessary equipment (hairdressing tools);
- Purchasing furniture (armchairs, mirrors, tables…);
- Decorating a barbershop.
The optimal markup 200-250 percent , the main expenses will go to rent and salaries of employees.
Payback from 3 to 4 months in case of successful organization of the business.
Business Idea #13: Children's Playground
Many parents often have no one to leave their child under supervision. A children's playground is a great and inexpensive solution to this problem.
In addition, open a nursery playground much easier (and cheaper) than organizing a private kindergarten.
❗️ On average, to open your own mini-rope park, you will need from 200 thousand rubles. The costs will mainly be required for the purchase of rope ladders, bungee ropes and for rent.
Average ticket price from 100 to 300 rubles .
Rope parks can be both outdoors and indoors. Rope parks on the street, that is, in nature, are in great demand.
The costs of opening an indoor rope city are usually higher.
— Direction 6 — Business on the Internet
💡 The Internet is good because it erases the boundaries and therefore it does not matter in which city / village you live! In addition, the Internet is a great place to start a business from scratch!
Business idea No. 26: Business on the Avito site
Avito is the largest this moment area free ads in Russia, which is visited daily by millions of people. Almost everything is bought and sold here!
It often even happens that Avito is the most important source of sales for business, and in most cases it is free. That is, the biggest advantage of Avito is that here you can build a business without any investment at all.
There are 3 main areas of how you can make money on Avito:
- sell goods wholesale and retail (both new and used);
- provide services (what you know how to do);
- engage in mediation (find clients for business and take your remuneration for this).
⭐️ Personal example!
By the way, I started with exactly 2 options: I was looking for clients, I worked for myself on average 2-3 hours a day (about 10 days a month) and earned about 15-30 thousand rubles per month and I still have a lot of free time!As for me, this is a great alternative to hired work.
But not only for private traders, but also for business, Avito is a powerful source of attracting customers. Many simply hire people who submit dozens or even hundreds of free ads a day (the more ads, the more calls, the more sales).
Here is an example of how even students managed to get out of debt and earn 300 thousand only with the help of Avito:
As for mediation, this is also a fairly profitable line of business. All you need to do is advertise (find clients) and negotiate partnerships with those who already own a particular business.
Business idea No. 27: One-pagers (dropshipping)
Another very popular business idea on the Internet today is the sale of goods through dropshipping through a special website - a one-pager (landing page).
In this case, you will also not need a large investment, since you do not need to have goods in stock - all goods will be sent directly from the supplier to your customer. In this case, you will receive profit from the margin on the goods.
To do this, you will need to find the best-selling products (bestsellers, usually sold at 990-2990 rubles), select several of them, create one-page pages for them and set up advertising (in social networks, teaser networks, contextual advertising, YAN…).
Some, instead of one-pagers, open groups on Vkontakte and other social networks and sell goods through them.
However, in this case, it is very important to be able to work effectively with advertising (or find such a specialist), because. it is the only source of sales.
Business idea No. 28: Information site
Another common type of business without investments on the Internet is the creation and promotion of information sites on a specific topic.
The topic can be almost anything - besides, if you already like some direction and you are already well versed in it, then it is best to choose this topic (for example, cooking, tourism, construction, finance, gardening ...). 
❗️ The bottom line is that you create a site (you can create it yourself within 1-2 days), register a domain name for the site (usually it costs from 99 r.) and place it on the hosting ( ≈150 r/month). This is all, however, and costs (if you do everything else yourself)!
Next, you write articles on popular topics for people, thus helping people understand certain issues. For those who do not want to write articles themselves, you can hire copywriters on freelance exchanges who will write articles for you for a fee.
As soon as the first users appear, it will be possible to connect advertising (for example, from Yandex Direct or Google Adsense) and receive income.
Over time, website traffic will grow, and your income will grow along with it. Thus, doing what you love and sharing useful information Readers can make money.
In addition, you can buy a ready-made site that already generates income (for example, on the Tender site - telderi.ru). Here you can also sell your sites!
Business Idea #29: Online Store
Today, literally everything is sold via the Internet: from a pen to large-sized equipment.
In addition, there is a clear trend that more and more people prefer to buy goods via the Internet.
An online store, unlike the same one-pagers, is aimed at selling not 1-2 products, but a whole group of products.
⚡️ Opening your online store is much cheaper and easier than a regular store in the city. At first, it is not even necessary to have goods in stock and your own warehouse (you can work on dropshipping).
And, in my opinion, it’s even stupid to spend a lot of money on the purchase of goods and a warehouse if you don’t have a built-in sales flow yet.
In general, 2 things are important here: SEO website promotion V search engines and literate advertising setting. If you are not familiar with them, then it is better to find a trusted specialist.
By the way, the well-known Yandex Market platform can also become an excellent source of sales.
Business Idea #30: Infobusiness
Infobusiness is the sale of valuable information via the Internet, that is, training for money.
By the way, the info business is one of the most profitable businesses in the world that you can start from scratch.
☝️ Information businessmen can earn hundreds and millions of rubles by simply sharing useful information with people.
4. The most common mistakes of novice entrepreneurs - TOP-7
Many aspiring entrepreneurs do not fully understand how a business works and, accordingly, often make mistakes when opening it.
Therefore, I decided to write a small section in which I highlighted the most common mistakes novice businessmen make. I really hope that this information will be valuable to you:
Mistake #1:
Fear of competition. Do not be afraid of competition - the presence of competitors is good! Firstly, it means that the goods/services in this niche are good demand. Secondly, it is possible to evaluate competitors (their weak and strengths) and gain valuable experience. Thirdly, competition forces you to develop your business!
Mistake #2:
Take credits and loans. If you are starting a business for the first time in your life, then you definitely should not take various loans and loans. Do you still have not enough experience! It is a completely different matter if you have been in business for more than one year and understand how it works from the inside.
Mistake #3:
Wrong business priorities. Let me remind you once again that business is not your personal office and not your status. CEO”, and this is primarily a sale! Everything else is an add-on. This is especially important to understand when you are just building your business!
Mistake #4:
Sell what no one has heard of. Many beginners in business think that you can make good money if you sell some new product which is not yet on the market. This is partly true, but many ignore the fact that 8 out of 10 new products fail !
If you have experience and money, then please! But if you are just starting your first business, and there is not much money to test different niches and suffer losses at first, then this is not for you!
Mistake #5:
Act like everyone else (do not differ). It must be understood that consumers primarily seek those entrepreneurs who offer them the “maximum benefit”.
But consumers are also different - each of them has their own interests: some want cheaper, others want better quality, the third generally cares about speed (manufacturing, delivery ...), etc.
Therefore, your task is to understand what exactly your “target audience” wants the most and give them this maximum value.
Try to imagine "portrait" your client and think about how you can improve your product/service to stand out from your competitors!
💡 For example, even if you sell the same thing as your competitors, you can offer best service(relation to the client), expand product range, do fast/free shipping…
Mistake #6:
Sell low-quality services/goods. Attempts to quickly cash in on the sale substandard goods and services won't get you anywhere good! Treat others as yourself and you will easily be able to build a successful business.
Mistake #7:
Don't know how to delegate. Being a jack of all trades and understanding all the nuances of your business is good, but for the time being. Business should not become for you a place where you spend around the clock!
At first, while the business is not strong and is at the stage of development, it is perhaps better for everyone to do it on their own.
But when it already brings a steady income, try to find the right people whom you can trust and delegate some of your responsibilities!
☝️ Important!
Business, like everything else, should be fun and take up only part of your time, not your whole life!
And finally: even if you make certain mistakes, take them as an incredibly valuable experience, learn from them! As a rule, only those who do nothing do not make mistakes!😀
5. Conclusion
I hope now you are convinced that it is very possible to open your own business with minimal investment or from scratch!
Once again, the guaranteed way to succeed in business is indeed love business, which you are engaged in, then no competitors are afraid! In addition, then you will never “work” again, but will only do what you like!
At the end of the article, I suggest you watch a short video:
I wish you good luck and success in opening your future business!👍
Friends, leave your opinion in the comments below! I will also be very grateful if you rate this article and share it with your friends on social networks!😀👇
In the context of the financial crisis, when the number of jobs is declining, but at the same time the consumer and service industries remain in demand, ideas or even businesses from scratch occupy the minds of ordinary citizens.
Desire to find opportunities extra income is an important reason for looking for activities without capital investment. The benefit of such a business can be considered the minimum number of risks, and if a person believes that he is strong in some area, then this will serve as an additional guarantee of the success of a new undertaking.
Business from scratch - does it exist?
No, there is no such business. In any case, you will have to invest:
- Education.
- If there is no education - time.
- And, in any case, great enthusiasm.
There is a point of view that all the proposed ideas for beginners are not business, but handicraft. But there are no other options for a zero start. If there are no funds for employees, you have to be an employee yourself. And only with the growth of the business, one's own skills, abilities and income, it will be possible to delegate part of one's functions to someone else. Moreover, very often even “grown up” businessmen of a small sphere are forced to create an adequate replacement for themselves over the years. This is the nature of a small business. Small business is a way of life. Dreaming that in a couple of years the gears will spin without any of your participation is at least naive.
This material contains proven ideas in which you can still find your niche. Think over what is your highlight among the mass of the same, and go ahead. Each of these ideas fits perfectly into the requirements of a "low start".

🔍 What you need to start a business
First, let's figure out how much money you need to open a small business.
Contrary to the opinion that a profitable business costs a lot of money, it is quite realistic to open a business in the actual area within 300-500 thousand rubles. In our catalog you will even find business ideas worth 100,000 rubles.
The costs depend on the specifics of the business, the area and your perseverance.
If a business requires small cash investments, how will it work and develop?
- persistence
Perhaps the most important character trait for a budding businessman. If you decide to start your own business, be prepared to face difficulties, not to retreat, but to solve problems. - Experience
Ideal if you have experience in your chosen field, people management or small business. This partially compensates for the lack of large investments and will save time and effort. - Time
Starting a business at minimal cost can be even more time-consuming than being hired at first. This is normal as it will hold on to you. Don't be afraid: as your business develops, you will be able to delegate and distribute tasks, but you will gain valuable experience that will certainly come in handy in future work. - Connections
It is not necessary to have influential friends to open a profitable business with minimal investment. Ordinary politeness, human attitude and perseverance help to establish useful contacts.
☢ Difficulties in starting a business
The main problem is, of course, money. You will have to be resourceful and persistent to compensate for the lack of opportunity to hire additional employees.
It is important to understand that it is impossible to create a business empire for a few hundred rubles. At first, your business will be small: small or micro business. This is normal, do not rush too much. Develop business gradually.
💪 What kind of business to open if there is not enough money
With a very limited budget, it is easiest to open a service business. The range of options is huge: from repair and cleaning to tutoring or atelier.
Focus primarily on what you are familiar and interested in. If you spend your free time dismantling small appliances for parts, you should not open grocery store for perceived benefit. You must enjoy your own business!

business ideas at home
Makeup at home
If you know how to emphasize the dignity of a person's appearance and work wonders with the help of shadows and lipstick, then why not monetize your talent? For less than $250-500 you can start your own makeup business from scratch. With a skillful approach, such an undertaking can turn into a fairly profitable part-time job.
home care
This, of course, is not the most profitable occupation, but it is a great opportunity to live in different parts of the world (including exotic ones) without paying a penny for rent.
babysitting job
Do not think that only teenagers and students look after other people's children. Even vice versa. This work can bring a decent income, especially for those who work at night and on weekends.
window washing
When you look at the world from the window, I want to see everything clearly and clearly. This generates a great demand for window cleaners, especially in office buildings.
Property management
Do you know people who rent out property? Then they may need a person who will manage their affairs. This is a great source of additional income that does not require much effort on your part. However, this position requires agility and a willingness to work flexible hours. Your responsibilities will include collecting rent, arranging repairs and other works, as well as handling any unforeseen situations. Most real estate investors need a manager like air.
Renting out your property through Airbnb
Airbnb offers a great way to make money by renting out a spare bed or sofa. But that is not all. This is also a great opportunity to make a lot of interesting acquaintances (of course, provided that you are a sociable person). You can even rent out an entire apartment. But do not think that this is a passive source of income that will not require any effort from you. You must keep the apartment clean, always be ready to receive guests and do everything possible for their comfortable stay with you.
Carpet cleaning
Carpets can instantly transform any home, making it more cozy and comfortable. But over time, dust, dirt, grease, allergens and germs accumulate in carpets. Carpet cleaning services will always be in demand, and it would be foolish not to take advantage of the opportunity that lies right in the palm of your hand. However, for this you will need to invest in the purchase of appropriate equipment and tools (vacuum cleaners, carpet brushes, detergents etc.). An alternative option is to rent equipment for the weekend to serve 5-10 customers at once and cover the rental costs. If you start well, then over time you will be able to acquire your own own equipment and raise rates. So a small part-time job can turn into a serious business.
Real estate valuation
Real estate appraisal can be done from home, devoting several hours a day to it. This is a great idea to earn money in addition to your main income. Although it is not necessary to graduate from a university with a degree, you will need documents confirming your professionalism (licenses, certificates of completion of training, etc.), deep knowledge in the field of real estate, as well as a large base of potential clients (brokers, real estate agents, banks, other appraisers, etc.).
House cleaning
If you want to expand the range of your services and earn more, you can do complex house cleaning. During such cleaning, you should pay attention to carpets, floors, lawns, garages, windows, walls, roofs, etc. Naturally, such a scale of work requires a whole arsenal of detergents and cleaners. Or you can form your own staff of cleaners, and deal with administrative issues and interaction with clients yourself. If you have not yet decided on, then you can get a job as a cleaner in a cleaning company to first get to know the business from the inside.
Selling goods from China
Trading with China for beginners can be in two variations:
- Online store
- One-pagers
The bottom line is that all agreements with suppliers should be established via the Internet.
On the landing page, the conversion is higher, so separate one-page sites are created for trending products. So you can make a decent income from scratch in China in 1-2 months.
Trade with China for beginners – good way raise money without any registration of IP and LLC.
