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

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 such 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 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 a suitable place 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!
💡Example successful business!
In our city (about 100 thousand people), a small office (only about 10-15 sq. m.) 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 is a great idea for a small town, as the competition in this area is usually very low.
☝️Note!
To open this business, a room with an area of 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, since 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, 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 a shopping center, in general, there is traffic there and at the same time the rent is not too high.
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 in 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 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!

Such a question as business ideas for a small town worries a large number of people in any country in the world, including ours.

But not everything is as sad as it might seem at first glance. If you approach the matter wisely and show some skill, which is simply mandatory for an entrepreneur, then even in settlements with a population of 20, 30 or 60,000 people you can find your niche and make good money.
Features of doing business in small towns
If you are a resident of a small town, but do not want to let go of the idea of becoming a businessman, then the very first thing to do is to understand the key features of competent business in your region. There are both pluses and minuses here.
Of the minuses, it is worth noting:
- A small number of people will not be able to create a truly large demand for even the highest quality products. The question of what to trade is very acute here. You won't often buy new cars from you.
- Limited opportunities for partnerships. If a person plans to produce, create something, then for components and materials he will have to travel far and wide, which increases costs.
- You need to correctly calculate the amount of goods offered. If, for example, these are agricultural products, then they can deteriorate over time, so it is important to provide as many products as the local market can absorb.
Of the advantages, the following points can be noted:
- A small town is a minimum of competitors and possible problems with the giants of the industry. Here, even goods of mediocre quality can be quite in demand.
- It will not be so expensive to organize production - renting premises will not require large investments, modest salaries for employees will also play into the hands of the entrepreneur.
With this in mind, you can protect yourself as much as possible and protect even the most productive ideas from a quick collapse.
What kind of business to do in a small town
It is very important to immediately outline those areas that will bring maximum benefit in such an area. What type of activity to engage in, so that it brings a stable profit?
Obviously, starting a car factory in a town of 40,000 people is not worth it, just like starting a company to organize flights to the moon.
The most profitable business will be the one that is aimed at the majority of residents or a significant part of it.
You should not invent some kind of exotic - the traditional type of activity can bring the maximum benefit. Residents of the capital and large metropolitan areas are fed up with the abundance of offers around, but in a small settlement everything is different - even a simple good grocery store with familiar products or an experienced master tiler may have a constant demand for their activities.
It is worth noting: Of course, it’s hard to come up with a win-win option, because there are risks everywhere, but if you do everything wisely, then even the most banal things can “shoot” and bring benefits.
