What is profitable to trade in small town? What is the best business to do at home? How to open your own business with minimal investment?

Working for yourself is like growing up. Anyone who wants to gain independence sooner or later leaves his familiar place - leaves the hired service and begins to work exclusively for himself.

Good, the choice of directions for personal business is not limited by anything. The only problem is to find the kind of activity that will really reveal your talents and abilities to the fullest.

Denis Kuderin is with you - an expert of the HeatherBober portal on economic and financial matters. In a new article, I will tell what business to do to earn a lot and consistently, what business ideas are the most promising today and now, and what is more profitable - a YouTube channel or a home photo studio.

Do not switch - you will learn a lot of interesting things.

1. Business with minimal investment - stop work and start earn

There is an opinion that successful businessman need to be born. Like, this requires a special mindset, extraordinary abilities and a specific character. Millions of people believe that entrepreneurship is not for them. That they can't work for themselves. That their business will burn out. That they don't know how to count money, etc.

Of course, we are born into the world with different abilities and inclinations, there is no doubt about that.

However, I personally prefer this point of view: every person from birth is an entrepreneur. When he comes into the world, he already has ready-made company- himself. It depends only on you whether this company will become successful. You are the manager of this firm, its general manager and a controlling shareholder.

Thousands of people are working for themselves right now. They do not expect a salary from the employer, they are not afraid of being fired, they themselves regulate their working day.

This does not mean that their life is a continuous euphoria. There are enough problems in the life of a businessman. Perhaps there are even more of them than a hired worker. But all the disadvantages of "free swimming" outweigh the fat plus - you become the master of your life and your time set your own goals and prioritize.

And a few more benefits:

a wide range of destinations for commercial activities - if you want, teach everyone who wants to paint in your own studio, if you want, make soap in the garage;
income is unlimited– you yourself set the upper limit in accordance with your ambitions and goals;
free schedule, vacation not when allowed, but when they wanted- you independently manage your main asset - time;
you are not tied to the workplace- work where you want: at home, in the garage, in an Internet cafe, on a personal plot;
you set the rules yourself– no one obliges you to follow strict rules and schedule.

If in one direction of business it was not possible to achieve results, you always have the right to change the direction of activity to a diametrically opposite one. The online business didn’t work out, get involved in purely earthly technologies - open a shawarma diner or get busy.

I have a friend who has dealt successively in: pet food, video equipment, Indian gems and jewelry (I brought it from India myself), equipment for private (home) cinemas, commercial real estate, information products.
Not to say that in every type of activity he suffered a fiasco - on the contrary, reaching a certain level, he realized that he was losing interest in the chosen topic, and saw broader prospects in another area.

But do not confuse freedom with slovenliness, indifference and projectionism. A naturally lazy and undisciplined person is unlikely to achieve serious success in business. Money will not be transferred to your account on its own– simply because you declared yourself an entrepreneur.

You will definitely have to work hard and persevere. Perhaps even more than in the office or at work. You will need self-control, self-confidence, the ability to calculate options and make decisions independently.

Being an entrepreneur means working hard and multitasking.

Is it necessary to have initial capital? It all depends on the type of activity you plan to do. If you open an online store, you will have to buy goods and launch a website. And this requires money.

Similarly with production - consumables and equipment require investments. But there are different options - to lease, rent, find investors.

But if you sell exclusively intellectual services, capital is not required. All you have to do is waste your time. But time does not pay off immediately. It is necessary to acquire clients, develop skills, ideally - undergo training.

Throw away the hope that after a couple of weeks or even months after starting a business, gold coins will fall into your wallet. Business, especially a small one, requires patience and hard work. Everything will be, but not immediately - remember this phrase!

And for those who need a reliable and proven option with a guarantee of profitability, we suggest investing in ready business- purchase a franchise from a company. Co-owner of a network of restaurants of Japanese and Pan-Asian cuisine - Alex Yanovsky, entrepreneur with 20 years of experience, owner own School"Business behind Glass".

The founders of HeatherBeaver magazine know Alex personally - his business schemes really work and generate income.

Moreover, our good friend Sergey opened a business in the city of Maikop under this franchise - he launched a point in the "island" format. His investment of 1.5 million rubles paid off in six months. So we can safely recommend his franchise to both beginners and experienced businessmen.

2. 5 popular business directions

In fact, there are more directions, but these five are proven and well-trodden paths, along which thousands of novice businessmen like you are successfully and confidently walking right now.

Let's take a look at all the pros and features the most popular areas of small and medium business.

1) Resale of goods

The most public type of business.

Its principle is simple and has not changed since ancient times: buy goods in bulk in one place at a low price and resell in another place for a higher price.

Stable incomes bring those goods that everyone needs - food, clothing, shoes, household chemicals, cosmetics. In the consumer goods market, there are billions of turnovers and the same profits.

Another thing is that large corporations take the lion's share. Beginners are left to look for narrow niches and maneuver between mass-market products and exclusive goods.

Selecting your business profile focus not only on demand, but also on the state of the economy. For example, during a crisis, most people are not up to luxury - Swiss fountain pens with a platinum nib are unlikely to be sold quickly and profitably in small town, where the average salary is equal to half the cost of this fountain pen.

In such settlements it is worth choosing more hot commodity – for example, open a stock store with inexpensive branded clothing. Or a smartphone store - analogues of well-known companies, but originally from the People's Republic of China.

Small towns, on the one hand, offer excellent prospects, on the other hand, they are unpredictable in terms of business development.

The table will outline the trade situation in small towns more clearly:

Universal salvation for anyone modern trade- the Internet. Here the audience is not limited geographically. Live in Torzhok, and send goods even to Moscow, even to Nizhny Novgorod.

2) Service provision

It is not necessary to sell material things. Professional services are no less in demand than clothing or food.

Many examples:

accounting services;
printing center;
Interior design;
writing texts to order;
organization of banquets;
creation and promotion of sites;
Internet Marketing;
Pizza delivery;
repair of bicycles or household appliances;
writing term papers etc.

Any business that you understand or want to understand will do. Modern world- differentiated and belongs to narrow specialists. The family lawyer, tutor, commercial writer and other specialties are no longer a curiosity and are constantly required.

3) Production

More and more small enterprises are opening in the Russian Federation: in the context of the crisis and sanctions, domestic producers entered new markets.

They are in stable demand natural food. If we focus on quality, then even the relative high cost of production will pay off due to a higher price. The modern consumer is ready to overpay for healthy and environmentally friendly products.

More details about production activities can be found in the article "".

4) Real estate transactions

An option for those who have a solid start-up capital. The real estate market, despite gloomy forecasts, continues to bring profit to owners of liquid housing. Earnings on rent, sales and other transactions with residential and non-residential premises are traditionally high.

5) Online business

The most promising modern direction. And the least expensive if you sell not a product, but your skills or services via the Internet.

But first you need to master at least one of the most sought-after professions - a website designer, SEO specialist, copywriter, social network administrator. Or earn on your website, affiliate programs.

This is not as difficult as it seems - the main thing is not to be lazy and not stay too long in the status of a beginner. If you want to succeed - read great article on our website, which is called "".

3. What kind of business you can do - TOP 10 ideas for a novice businessman

Let's get down to specifics.

A dozen promising ideas for beginners with minimal experience.

1) Homemade soap making

The first private soap makers of our time made soap right in their apartments. Some still do this, but it is better to have a separate room for these purposes.

I have a friend who lives in Chisinau. Katerina started her own soap making 7 years ago. The first experiments - multi-colored ellipses of soap with herbal scents, which she sent me as product samples - cost her too much. In addition, in Moldova, the demand for this product was almost zero.
Gradually, she improved the technology, accumulated client base and now has a full-fledged online store, where, in addition to author's soap, it is full of other exclusive and natural products. The high price does not bother buyers from Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities. They care about quality, original performance and purely natural ingredients.

2) Tutoring

If you are fluent in foreign languages, six-string guitar, school subjects, other useful skills and knowledge, no one will forbid you share your experience with others for money.

Thanks to Skype you can teach people all over the world

3) Conducting corporate parties and holidays

An idea for people with organizational skills and public speaking skills. Creative thinking, self-confidence and a little courage, and you will become the soul of any audience.

The components of success are as follows: constant practice, original scenarios, competent design of the premises, constantly changing repertoire.

4) Equipment repair

If you were born with a screwdriver in your hands, clearly understand how household appliances work, understand electronics, why not turn your skills into a source of income?

Modern technology has a low margin of safety. Most people find it cheaper to fix their washing machine than to buy a new one. Meanwhile, the repair of one "washer" costs from 2 to 5 thousand rubles . Several orders a day, and the income will be enough not only for bread and butter, but also for annual vacation on Bali.

Minimal costs - tools, diagnostic equipment, spare parts. If there is a garage, then the problem of renting a room disappears. Large equipment can be repaired at the customer's home.

5) Food delivery

In Novosibirsk, where I live, you can order anything to your home or office, from hot corn to a full meal from a Chinese restaurant.

Such a business requires investments - renting premises and vehicles, purchasing raw materials, paying employees. Permits from the sanitary services are needed: the room must have ventilation, all the necessary communications, and employees must have sanitary books.

6) Cargo transportation

Are you a truck owner? Take care of the transportation of oversized cargo. You don't even have to buy a car rent or lease it.

You will need 2-3 responsible workers, and not people from the street, but experienced riggers who know how to properly transport furniture and household appliances, how to pack fragile goods, how to lower a piano from the third floor.

7) Video channel on YouTube

The YouTube channel has over a billion viewers. This is every third Internet user on the planet. Promoted TV channels bring their owners millions of dollars in profits. Some of the presenters are not even 15 years old.

The ingredients for success are:

popular destination– video games, beauty blog, TOPs and lists, entertainment;
branded chip– original image, unique format;
competent promotion- use professional methods.

Most Internet users are young people brought up on gadgets. They prefer to see once rather than read a long text, which is why vlogs are so popular.

A small "educational program" from popular YouTube video bloggers:

8) Home photo studio

You will learn how to take satisfactory pictures in a couple of weeks. You will need professional equipment for shooting and equipment for printing photos. And then work in the format that you prefer - ID photos, wedding photo-video shooting, prom albums, image processing and photo editing.

Already six months after the start of her career, she was invited to major city events as an official photo chronicler. I don’t know why, but customers like her photographs even more than those of experienced professionals.

9) Growing vegetables and fruits in a greenhouse

An idea for those who are interested in gardening and horticulture. One greenhouse will give you several crops a year, and people need fruits, herbs, vegetables and flowers every day.

Before buying a greenhouse and seedlings, take care of the product market, study competitive environment, price, read special literature and thematic sites.

Greenhouse is a great tool for your own business

Additional income: canning, processing and freezing of vegetables, sale of seedlings and seeds.

But this is a long-term business for the patient and sensible. If you want, read the special publication.

10) Seasonal storage of tires, skis, bicycles

Income close to passive. A very cute idea. You just need to prepare the room: an empty garage is best suited for these purposes. Install shelves, insulate the room, install a security system. Store here winter tires, sleds, skis, snowboards in summer, bicycles, scooters, summer tires, etc. in winter.

4. Franchise business - minimum risk, maximum benefit

A restaurant franchise is a ready-made business model with a guaranteed payback and a well-established scheme of work. You acquire not only the right to open a restaurant under a sign known throughout the country, but also effective marketing technologies, unique recipes and licensed equipment.

At the time of this writing, 125 franchise restaurants have already been opened in 80 cities of Russia, China, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and other countries.

Sushi Master outlets are several modern formats of restaurants with high-quality glass and natural wood finishes. Thoughtful design and delicious dishes guarantee a constant influx of visitors. If hundreds of other people have done it, it will definitely work for you!

The scheme of work is as follows:

You get acquainted with the activities of Sushi Master on the official website of the company and apply for franchising.
Pay lump sum and sign a contract.
Get trained and instructed in the training center of the company (Krasnodar).
Together with your assistants, you select a place for a restaurant and build it.
Open a point of sale, implement marketing and management strategies.
Analyze the results of the work, correct it under the guidance of mentors.
Bring the restaurant to a stable monthly profit.

Approximate investment size 1.4 to 4 million rubles . Opening period - from 3 to 6 months. If necessary, you will be assisted by a professional start-up team.

Multi-format is another unique feature of the company. You yourself choose the desired format of the restaurant - "food court", "street", "island" or classic - depending on the location, region, characteristics of the local public.

A predictable business with a well-thought-out structure is an investment tool, the effectiveness of which has already been proven. Choosing this option, you immediately insure yourself against hundreds of risks that are relevant for all entrepreneurs who open their business from scratch.

The universal advice that I give to all, without exception, novice businessmen: the business you are doing should, as they say, “warm” you. If you like the direction, economic wisdom will open up by itself, along the way.

And remember - in any case there is a risk of failure. Even a great idea doesn't always work. A huge number of accomplished businessmen started with failures. Failed projects are the best business school.

Tip 1. Analyze the popularity and relevance of the niche

The Internet will help you - use the achievements of civilization. In particular, the Wordstat resource will help you find out the number of key questions for certain products and services in your area.

Visit thematic forums and groups - people are usually willing to share personal experience and knowledge. If you want to sell a rare product, make a test sale on Avito.

Some want to learn extreme driving, others want to improve their driving skills on highways or in heavy traffic.

B2B (business services)

Provision of various kinds of services in new small niches (sub-niches) that are not accepted large companies, is very promising business an idea that can be implemented with minimal investment.

As a rule, such services are based on understanding what your enterprise customer needs and knowing where to find it. Undoubtedly, strict requirements are imposed on such services in terms of their quality and qualifications of performers.

21 Research of foreign markets and consulting on these issues. First of all, this concerns the study of new promising directions for the export and import of goods. China, for example, does not count, since it has already been explored far and wide. However, much less is known about trade with countries such as India, Indonesia, Mexico, and Malaysia. If you have a working knowledge of these regions, you can make good money advising companies that are interested in them.

22 Search for highly specialized personnel. Beyond search good lawyers, accountants and sales managers, many companies have vacancies for which it is very difficult to find a qualified specialist. As a rule, this applies to rare technical, medical and interdisciplinary specialties, as well as top management.

23 Internet marketing and research. You have no idea how many online stores exist that do not track the interests and behavior of their potential customers, as well as such global parameters as market size, number of competitors, price fluctuations in a niche. If you can collect, systematize and arrange such information with high quality, you will definitely not have a lack of customers.

24 Project management is the management of a large project (as a rule, IT or the development of a business development strategy) or its part of a large foreign customer. Working in this business will require you to be fluent foreign language and excellent knowledge of the area in which the services will need to be provided. Very often, such a business is opened by former employees who worked on similar projects, gained knowledge, understood how it works and decided to open their own business.

25 Outsourcing is a search for subcontractors for a foreign customer who has taken on a major project (IT, advertising, production). Basically, the main criterion for finding outsourcers is good quality execution at a low price. That is why many European and American projects are partly made by guys from India, Pakistan, Eastern Europe. If you know and understand how this can be arranged, this business idea is for you.

26 Local Express delivery – with the growth of Internet commerce, the demand for prompt and inexpensive delivery is increasing. Major players in this market inflate prices, and the goods come only the next day. This business idea is based on services for the delivery of goods within one locality on the principle of "delivery on the day of order".

27 Remote IT Services. Large companies have their own IT departments or at least a system administrator. A small business is not ready to have a separate specialist on staff, the need for whose services may arise once a month. But, since hardware is not forever, sooner or later they need to tune hardware or software. Today, many of these problems can be solved remotely, which makes it possible to work even with foreign clients.

28 Remote Accounting– as in the case of IT services, such services will be very interesting small business(mainly IP). The need for regular reporting, keeping records in strict accordance with the law, as well as the inability to maintain a full-time accountant, force entrepreneurs to seek the help of remote accounting and audit specialists.

For the countryside

Let's make a reservation right away that the realities of our villages are such that in the village itself you are unlikely to be able to sell something. But! The village is an excellent platform for a range of business ideas. If the village is located near the city, then this is very, very good.

It is at the expense of urban residents that you will earn your first capital. So, most likely you have a house (dacha, garage) and a land plot there. Naturally, you need to make the most of these resources and here are some suggestions for you.

29 greenhouse cultivation- on the one hand, many people already know about this idea, but on the other hand, quite a few undertake to implement it. But in vain, because fresh vegetables and fruits grown in the village can be easily sold in a nearby city at a good price. You will receive the greatest profit in early spring. The range of what can be grown is very wide and you can find all the necessary information on specialized forums.

30 Raising chickens and quails- demand for poultry meat (and eggs) will always be. Even having a small plot, it will not be difficult for you to buy and maintain meat or egg-bearing breeds of chickens or quails. You will definitely need an additional refrigerator (for eggs), and a freezer for storing meat supplies.

31 Breeding fish - at first it may seem that this is an overly expensive idea, but, in fact, it is not at all. You can start artificially breeding fish even in small tanks with a volume of 2-3 cubic meters. The main thing here is to provide uninterrupted filtered water, proper nutrition and maintaining the right temperature regime. You will definitely not have problems with the sale of fish, since it is always in price because it is both tasty and healthy.
