Business ideas with minimal investment. What to do if you live in a small town? Business ideas that don’t exist in Russia yet! How to create a personal business from scratch

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 question “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?

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Expert accountants could add or deduct 1 point when assessing the complexity of accounting.
6. 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.

1. Firstly, wholesalers are very sensitive to transport links, since they need to ensure both the delivery of goods and their shipment.
2. 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.
3. 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 off 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 media and sites, 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):

Taking into account the unstable economic situation, businesses that require not the largest investments and can quickly pay for themselves are becoming relevant. The top successful projects, the income of which is several times higher than the initial investment and the peak of demand for which will be in 2017, was prepared by Ekaterina Soyak, CEO of EMTG.

1. Fixed price stores

During a crisis, such a business is beneficial, first of all, for entrepreneurs - with a fixed price for a product in a purchasing store, it usually costs no more than 10 rubles. Therefore, from one unit of goods you can get at least 500% revenue. An excellent example in this direction is the domestic chain of one-price stores Fix-Price. The company now operates more than 2,000 retail outlets throughout Russia, of which about 250 are open as franchises and are actively entering neighboring markets. Over the past 5 years, the number of fixed price stores in our country has increased by 1000%.

The route is actively developing in the domestic passenger transportation market and is in greatest demand in Moscow, which accounts for up to 65% of all orders. These companies traditionally do not advertise their reports, but informed sources indicate that in the capital region the turnover of taxi aggregators is 20 billion rubles. per month, while in Western countries they suffer billions of losses. Over the next two or three years, this business will remain promising in Russia, especially in Russian regions, where such concepts do not yet occupy leading positions, but have enormous potential for development.

Also becoming a very popular trend today are businesses that deliver ready-made food to your home - food constructors that allow you not only to eat a ready-made dish, but to prepare it yourself from the ingredients provided. This is a global trend. According to some estimates, by 2020 the turnover of this market will grow to $10 billion per year. Again, for now this service is gaining popularity in the capital, but over the next 2-3 years it will bring enormous profits to those who begin to develop this business in Russian cities with a population of over a million.

4. Catering franchises

Today, this is the only segment in public catering that demonstrates stable growth against the backdrop of the anemic state of the domestic economy. When located in locations with a large concentration of potential customers, the return on business with a properly organized process can be only 3–4 months. In 2017, not only restaurants will benefit, but also casual coffee shops, cafes offering coffee to go, and, of course, sports bars. This is also due to the upcoming 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Opening a catering outlet under a franchise will bring income to the owner even after the end of the World Cup. Fast foods remain the most profitable; they are always in trend, since such enterprises do not require large investments, their products are available to the average consumer, who is now focused on an average bill of 500 rubles. All this guarantees stable profits for the owners.

5. Self-service car washes

Self-service car washes are becoming popular among car owners. About three dozen such car washes have already been opened in Moscow. Since 2014, this service has been in increasing demand, and manufacturers of equipment for such points can make good money. For example, to open a contactless car wash, you need to invest 13–15 million rubles, while the investment will pay off on average in 1.5–2 years, and the profit will be more than 10 million per year. That is, the profitability of the business area is 70%, which is very good.

6. Hotel business and consumer services enterprises

On the eve of the 18 World Cup, in the regions where it is being held, 2-3 star economy class hotels, small motels and various personal services enterprises - dry cleaners, mini-ateliers, etc. will be in demand. Also, against the backdrop of sporting events, fitness clubs, children's sections and other initiatives to maintain athletic shape will be in demand there. The fastest and most convenient way to organize this business in 1.5 years is to open it as a franchise. There is now a demand for such facilities in every Russian region, without exception, including Moscow. Russia has set a course for the development of mass domestic tourism, so investments made in hotels and dry cleaners will pay off quickly.

Over the past two years, they have experienced explosive development in the Russian entertainment market. The idea itself came from Asia, but the Russians have already overtaken their founders and occupy leading positions in this area. Russian businessmen have been selling their quest franchises abroad for several years now, where they are incredibly popular. Now in Moscow alone there are about 170 quest industry companies offering approximately 500 scenarios. There are 60 companies and almost 200 outlets in St. Petersburg.

The turnover of Russian companies is estimated at 20 billion rubles. in year. Despite the apparent dominance of quests, this industry is very dynamic - in Moscow alone, dozens of new facilities are opened every month, designed for an average of 2000–3000 visits. Investments in opening one room, depending on the demands of the public, can reach 50 million rubles, but the average price is 10 million rubles (in Moscow) and 2–3 million in the regions. In the next two to three years, this business as a whole in Russia and the CIS will only gain momentum.

Business ideas for 2019 with minimal investment: TOP 10 ideas for small businesses

How to choose the right business idea before starting your own business and where to start

Over time, more and more people are starting to think about how they can open a business with minimal investment. Some business ideas are already on the surface, while to find some you will need to use ingenuity and find a sufficient amount of time. But with all the variety of business ideas for budding startups, not everyone can implement them. When thinking about taking an idea on the Internet, you need to be prepared for the fact that this idea itself may turn out to be a failure, and here’s why.

The thing is that each case is unique and to implement the same idea, different people may need a different set of tools. Here you should also take into account the geographical factor, the state of the market at a given time and the capabilities of the start-up. But regardless of the specific business idea, there are several stages that everyone must go through. These stages include: analyzing the psychology of competitors, choosing a niche, calculating start-up capital and taking into account possible risks that always accompany any business. But first things first.

No. 1. Analysis of client psychology

The first and most important axiom for anyone who is planning to open their own profitable business is that “the customer is always right.” Nobody talks about extremes and rudeness, but in the vast majority of cases it is the client who is the one thanks to whom the business, in principle, exists. In this context, the client is a collective image, personifying both one retail buyer and a large company ordering work or services. Therefore, it is very important from the very first day to establish relationships with the client and build them in such a way that they are effective for both him and the businessman.

The key to establishing such connections will be to study the client’s psychology, at least at the initial level. Client psychology is how the client will reason when making a decision to purchase a product and what points he will pay attention to first.

Well-known marketers and sales specialists advise adhering to the basic rules when dealing with business communications: a trusting environment, sensitivity and the gift of persuasion. All this together creates a positive impression and gives a person a feeling of comfort and satisfaction. After all, if you listen to a person’s wishes, sincerely enter into his situation and understand what he needs, the client will probably return again, and more than once.

No. 2. Choosing a current earning niche

Choosing a niche for business and answering the question “ what business to open?“is the key to the future success of the campaign, and the economic efficiency of the business will directly depend on the correctness and thoughtfulness of such a choice. What is a niche?

A business niche presents some kind of “problem” that needs to be solved. This could be an industry that objectively has good prospects for development, it could be a product or service that is needed by society, or a direction that is currently the most developed. Choosing a niche entails a labor-intensive process, which must consist of such stages as: a thorough study of the market, competition in a particular industry, and market conditions.

In other words, before you invest in any small business idea, you need to be sure that it " will burn out" The market does not need companies that have many competitors, and those that can offer more favorable conditions, especially if they are located in a small city. Only a large company can compete with such “long-livers”, and for a novice entrepreneur it is better to opt for something that is not yet on the market.

Before choosing the direction of your activity, you will need to answer three main questions:

• Is the offer or product interesting to a certain circle of potential consumers that the entrepreneur is targeting?
• Why should people choose this company? How will it differ from those that already exist on the market?
• What disadvantages will the chosen business idea have?

Only if an entrepreneur can answer all these questions and look at himself objectively from the outside, will it be possible to make a decision about starting economic activity.

No. 3. Start-up capital

To implement any idea need start-up capital. The amount may vary, but often it greatly exceeds what you can simply spend at will. There are no enterprises that do not require the investment of a certain amount of funds, and often even the most modest business project turns out to be very expensive.

It is better to take your own money for start-up capital - this can be savings or a bank account. But even if you don’t have your own funds, there are several ways you can get this capital:

Option #1. Bank loan

Nowadays many banks offer such a service as a business loan. As attractive as the idea is, you should remember that even if something goes wrong, you will still have to repay the debt to the bank. Therefore, it is advisable to take the amount that, with a high degree of probability, can be returned painlessly.

Option #2. Friends and acquaintances

Alternatively, you can borrow money from acquaintances or friends - unlike a bank, you can do without interest. As a nice bonus, you can promise your friends some permanent discount on your product. Despite the close relationship, it would be correct to write a receipt stating that the money will be returned within the agreed time frame.

Option #3. Investors

With investors the situation is more complicated, since these are, as a rule, already adults with rich life experience and they will not invest their money in any first idea. To get help from investors, you will need to work hard to create a detailed and competent business plan, which will clearly indicate when and under what conditions they will be able to return the invested funds, as well as receive the agreed profit (share participation).

No. 4. Risks when starting your own business

There are always risks. It doesn't matter whether it's a small business or a large project. At any time, force majeure circumstances may arise, which can lead to the most unfavorable consequences. That is why risks must always be taken into account in any situation.

To calculate all possible risks, you should create a SWOT matrix, which will reflect all possible risks in great detail. The matrix has a column “ Weak sides" and "Threats" and all this together will indicate the main risks that exist in the campaign. To learn more about possible risks, you should spare no expense and draw up a detailed business plan or contact a consulting/marketing agency, where professionals will deal with the situation. But this way, you can protect yourself from many unpleasant surprises that a novice businessman did not even suspect about.

Business idea No. 2. Website development

One of the most promising areas of activity today is the creation and promotion of websites. Being a good specialist, you can make good money from this, and even more so when you have your own studio. Today, the Internet is the main means of business communication for many companies. And if a few years ago, many sincerely did not understand why they needed their own website, or at least a page on the Internet, today this has already become obvious.

The ideal option for implementing such a business idea would be if the entrepreneur himself is an excellent specialist in the IT field and understands the entire internal mechanism of the functioning of such a project. As for the prices for your services, let them be modest to begin with because at first, the main emphasis is on the quality of the service. Only then, having secured the support of partners and established effective communication with clients, you can begin to think about gradually increasing prices for your work.

Business idea No. 3. Baking cakes to order

What ideas do you have to start your own business from scratch? For example, bake cakes to order. Custom cakes are a service that has found many supporters, so if you plan to make baking cakes almost your main way of earning money, you need to be prepared for initial difficulties.

Firstly, this is competition. There are a lot of people doing home baking these days, so you need to be different. There are two ways here: either at the initial stage set prices that are almost equal to the cost, or to impress your potential clients with something.

But such a business has several undeniable advantages:

• Small investment. To get started, all you need is a stove, oven and food. The cost of products for each specific order can be included in the cost of production.
• Work from home. This is important for mothers on maternity leave or women housewives who know how to bake and do it well. A plus will also be the opportunity to show imagination and develop your creative abilities. This is especially true for cakes for children, who often pay more attention to the appearance of the cake rather than to its taste.
• Availability of free time. You can always manage your time yourself and free up that part of the day that is needed for household or personal matters.

Business idea No. 4. Coffee to go

According to the application Euromonitor International , people consume more and more coffee every year. Most likely, this is due to the fact that the very attitude of consumers towards this drink has changed: the culture of coffee consumption is now developing and, perhaps, very soon, the coffee ceremony will be given as much attention as tea.

Small coffee-to-go businesses are now available almost everywhere. In any city, walking down the street, you can come across small kiosks with a sign saying “Coffee to go” or “Coffee to go”. The idea is simple: a person is late, he doesn’t have time to go to a regular coffee shop and order a cup of coffee, so he’ll happily grab a treasured glass of his favorite drink on the go. The price of coffee is low, but there are a lot of people, and therefore, starting with one kiosk, you can increase their number over time.

Another type of implementation of the “coffee to go” service is a small counter in a shopping center or business center. Yes, in order to be profitable later, you will first have to spend money on renting premises and purchasing expensive equipment, but soon such a small project will begin to bring in the first profit. Also, over time, it will be possible to expand the line of drinks, as well as offer people different types of coffee.

Business idea No. 5. Intermediary services (work on interest)

Every day many people want buy something or sell something, but they don’t have the time or desire to spend several hours searching for an acceptable option. Unfortunately, intermediary activity, in most cases, mainly covers real estate and/or cars, so it is very important to really seriously understand the features of the product, but this is one of the few ideas that can start working from scratch without money. The coverage, of course, is not limited to finding an apartment or a car, but by definition this must be something expensive. Otherwise, people will not be psychologically ready to give commissions for searching for an insignificant product.

This also includes people who work in partnership with companies, finding clients for them and receiving a percentage of each successful transaction. At the first stage of working from home, you will need a computer with the Internet, a mobile phone and a great desire to earn money. Add here also readiness for the first failures, perseverance and routine work. But, if over time you manage to develop useful business contacts and the ability to persuade, then this can turn out to be quite a profitable activity. Mediation services are a clear example of how to start working for yourself.

Business idea No. 6. Start a channel on YouTube

As happened with many similar resources, Youtube was originally created so that users could watch interesting videos, or upload their own videos. But over time, when information technology has developed to the limit, and such a concept as “SMM marketing” can now be heard at every step, YouTube has become a tool for making money.

Now there are millions of channels on YouTube, some of which carry absolutely no meaning. But at the same time, there are also very interesting authors who introduce their viewers to something new, while at the same time earning money for themselves.

There are 3 main paths that lead to channel monetization:

• Participation in affiliate programs
• Writing annotations.
• Direct employers

Partnership programs is a tool for making money when a YouTube partner company starts paying for clicks. To do this, the channel needs to have more than 10 thousand views. To become a participant in the program, you need to fill out an application for participation, after which the partner company starts paying for clicks. For example: for every 3,000 views, a company can pay about $100. Accordingly, the more promoted the channel, the more money its owner can receive.

Writing annotations. Annotation writing involves preparing some advertising text for a company, after which this text is inserted into the video description. The subscriber clicks on the link and goes to the customer’s website, where he can select and order a specific product or service.

Cooperation with direct employers, in the format of master classes that show how to work (how to use) some of the company’s products. In this case, the product belongs to the advertising company, which pays money to the author of the video. These can be household appliances, products, things, inventory, etc.

Business idea No. 7. Real estate services

One of the most specific ways to make money is a real estate organization. For a business to become profitable, you need to have a very good understanding of the nuances of this activity. The process of real estate trading itself requires knowledge of jurisprudence, the housing code, the ability to work with large financial flows, and also gain an excellent reputation.

To make the work of a real estate agency as effective as possible, you need to be a good manager and have a great understanding of people. The most important thing in the work of a realtor is competent, qualified personnel, which consists of agents, sales managers and lawyers. For each successful transaction, the real estate organization receives a profit, which is then divided among the participants in the transaction process.

To recruit clients, a real estate company must invest heavily. This is a premises that will be the “face of the company”, and good, high-quality advertising, and services at the highest level. After all, when selling or buying an apartment, a person works with very large sums of money, and in order to entrust this matter to an intermediary (in this case, a realtor), he will need to be able to make an extremely favorable impression on the person.

The only disadvantage of the real estate business is that earnings will not be constant, because profit directly depends on the number of successful transactions. And the real estate market, as we know, can sometimes go through very difficult times.

Business idea No. 8. Sale of goods from China

China is an amazing country that offers many different goods, and most importantly, at a very low price. There are many business ideas that involve buying goods in China and selling them at a “higher price.” Many current, popular and interesting ideas for business with minimal investment are related to the sale of goods from China, where every beginner can build their own business from scratch.

The most important thing in this case is to choose the right product category.

For example, you can open an online store that will specialize in selling unusual gifts. Such gifts include earrings, bracelets, watches, keychains, souvenirs, cups, stands for wine bottles and wine glasses, unusual lighting devices, etc.

Starting small, you can initially sell goods on Avito. To do this, you just need to add a product by selecting the correct category, and then wait for the first calls from interested users.

In addition to Avito, there are many groups on VKontakte, Facebook or Odnoklassniki. The main thing is not to try to get everything at once, but gradually, in small steps, to move towards your goal. When the first money appears, it can be spent on creating a one-page website or a simple online store, after which you can take good photographs and post them on your resource.

The main idea of ​​​​earning money by selling goods from China is a large increase in price, and over time, it will be possible to order wholesale quantities, for which, as you know, the Chinese can make an additional discount.

Business idea No. 9. Reselling your own or someone else's car

Car resale is a fairly lucrative business, especially if you know how to approach it correctly. The idea of ​​the business is simple: bring it into perfect condition and sell it at a premium. The entire difference between the purchase price and the sale price will be profit.

The peculiarity of such a business is that the person who is engaged in this business has an excellent understanding of cars. Without serious practical skills, there is no point in starting this business - at best, you can break even, at worst, you can lose all your money.

As for legal registration, you can register your activities as an individual entrepreneur or. At first, of course, you can work without registering with the tax authorities, but over time, you will have to do this in any case. If you have the opportunity to carry out repairs yourself and at a high level, you will soon be able to talk about significant revenue.

Business idea No. 10. Hosting an event

The organization of events has recently developed into a separate area of ​​activity called “event management”. The essence of such a business is to take on the work of organizing various formats of events. Small companies organize one type of holiday, while large ones can specialize in several types at once.

The most popular ones at the moment are corporate events and weddings, but you can start with ordinary birthdays, anniversaries and children's parties.

You will need a decent amount of initial capital to organize an event agency, since it is unlikely that anyone will book an event with a company whose office is located outside the city in a room of 4 square meters. meters. In addition to the cost of renting an office, you will also need to hire qualified personnel, find presenters, food suppliers, catering companies, and purchase equipment.

The project itself is quite complex, so the business of organizing and holding events will begin to pay off no earlier than in 1.5-2 years.

What business is relevant now - TOP 5 profitable ideas

Option #1. Construction and renovation work

Carrying out construction and repair work can be quite a profitable business, especially if you approach it wisely. Despite the economic downturn, most people still decide to renovate. The repairs will not necessarily be major, it will be enough to do a small cosmetic one - but for the construction company this will also be a certain income.

Before entering the market, you need to decide whether the company will be multidisciplinary or whether it will specialize in a specific list of services. This can include installing plastic windows or metal doors, laying tiles, parquet, glazing balconies or cladding facades.

A mandatory minimum is the availability of mobile communications and a personal car, since orders can be in different parts of the city and traveling by car will be much faster and more convenient. Here you also need to add the purchase of construction equipment, such as a concrete mixer, hammer drill, drills, screwdriver and other tools.

Option #2. Installation of low-current systems

This business idea has every chance of becoming a profitable project, but this requires one important condition - in this case, it is simply vital to have experience and deep theoretical and practical knowledge.

The very concept of “low-current systems” is quite comprehensive and covers the installation of a local network, the Internet, video surveillance and alarm systems, as well as television, telephony and radio broadcasting. It will not be difficult for an experienced electrician-installer to understand all these tasks, but the more types of work a person can do, accordingly, the more income he can receive.

To organize your work in the most thoughtful way, it is recommended to register as an individual entrepreneur. After registering with government agencies, you will need to purchase a stamp with your details and name, open a bank account, hire an accountant who will work on a piece-rate basis, and also obtain a license to carry out certain activities, be it installing intercoms or running cables.

Having collected at least a small customer base and completed the first few orders at a high level, it will be possible to easily recoup the funds spent on registration procedures.

Option #3. Precious metals

At the moment, anyone can purchase, at their discretion, one of four types of precious metals. Precious metals include gold, silver, platinum and palladium. For the convenience of the client, several basic ways of “working” with precious metals are offered: these are measured bars, investment coins and OMS (an impersonal metal account).

Bullions can be bought, and after a certain amount of time, resold back. But there are several nuances: before buying a bullion from a citizen, the bank very carefully and meticulously checks its [the bullion’s] condition. In addition, the purchase price by the bank differs significantly from the sale price, which also cannot but affect the feasibility of such an investment.

Compulsory medical insurance is much more convenient in this regard. The essence of an impersonal metal account is to purchase a certain amount of gold, but not receive it in your hands. It will simply be reflected in grams on an individual metal account, and this metal can also be bought or resold over time at a higher price.

The most ineffective in this situation are investment aspects. The fact is that the price for them increases extremely rarely and if this happens, it is usually a very long and slow process. Therefore, in order to make significant money selling investment coins, you need to know the coin market very well.

Option number 4. City tours

Another interesting opportunity to earn money is to start organizing city tours. Before starting a project, you need to carefully “test” the market, study competitors and find out which routes are in the most high demand among people. The result of this approach is qualitatively new tourist routes that will certainly be of interest to the most inquisitive tourists.

For example, you can study the direction of “green tourism”, the essence of which is immersion in nature - these can be walking, cycling or horseback riding tours, there is really a lot of scope for imagination.

After the direction has been determined, you will need to study competitors, draw up a detailed business plan, recruit employees (at least 2-3 people for the first time) and make interesting advertising.

If you put your heart, soul and acquired knowledge into this business, then soon it will begin to bear the first fruits.

Option #5. Organization of quests

Recently, quests have become increasingly popular among the population, and this type of recreation attracts not only young people, but also older people. The reason for such high popularity is most likely the intensity of emotions and realistic conditions. Tired of the daily routine, people try to break free, feel like a living person, and besides, everyone wants to reach the end.

There are a huge number of types of quests, but where they are held can be divided into three types: in quest rooms, in the city, and also in nature. The plot of the game may be different, but the essence is the same: players are given a task that they will have to complete to the end.

In order for quests to become a profitable business, you will need to do the following: determine the format of the game, register an individual entrepreneur, purchase all the necessary props and hire several staff. It’s safe to say that the key to the success of quests is an interesting and exciting scenario, so the team must have a talented screenwriter, as well as a person who knows how to bring all the planned details of the game to life.

With a thoughtful approach, organizing a quest becomes a truly successful commercial enterprise.

What kind of business is profitable to open in small town and not burn out

What kind of business can you open with minimal investment in a small town: TOP-6 ideas for starting a small business

1. Open a mini-bakery

A mini-bakery is an excellent solution for those who want to turn their hobby into a profitable business, although this will require a lot of effort. Modern realities dictate their own conditions, the toughest of which is high competition in the market, especially in big cities. According to the most conservative estimates, opening your own bakery will cost approximately 90-100 thousand dollars, most of which will go towards renting premises, obtaining permits and purchasing baking equipment. The average payback period for a business is 4-6 years.

The premises for a bakery must meet all sanitary standards, have running water, a bathroom, sewerage and ventilation systems, a warehouse for storing raw materials, and two separate workshops: for baking and for packaging. The biggest expense item is the selection of equipment. At first, you can get by with the bare necessities, but to expand the range, you will have to eventually purchase more modern automated equipment, which costs about 35-70 thousand dollars.

The key to the success of the bakery opening campaign is strict adherence to technology, selection of qualified personnel, dedication and patience. An important stage is also the marketing of bakery products. You can use two options: sell products to wholesale companies or sell them yourself, and in the latter case, more problems fall on the shoulders of the entrepreneur, but the earnings remain with him.

2. Tattoo artist services

The services of a tattoo artist require certain knowledge, experience and significant investment. First, you need to decide whether this will be a tattoo studio only, or perhaps they will also sell related products in the form of various additional accessories. On average, to begin with, you will need about 5-6 thousand dollars for the basic necessities. This includes rent, a couple of tattoo machines and obtaining licenses.

According to Russian law, tattoo parlors must be designed as a treatment room, which means that this requires permission from Rospotrebnadzor, the Fire Inspectorate and local authorities. All employees working in a tattoo parlor must mandatory have valid medical records and undergo regular medical examinations. The staff must have an employee with a medical education who gives permission to carry out procedures. You can, of course, register the salon as an individual entrepreneur, then before performing the procedure, you will need to refer the person to a third-party specialist (for example, to a clinic), and then begin to fulfill the order.

The success of the entire salon as a whole (after receiving all the permits, of course) directly depends on talented craftsmen who understand immediately what clients want from them, so the most important thing is a well-chosen staff. But, since the tattoos themselves often cost a lot of money, opening such a salon will pay off soon.

3. Private kindergarten or club

To open a private kindergarten, you will need to go through several basic steps:

• State registration. Non-state preschool registered with the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation.
• Choosing a room. In this case, it is best to rent the premises where the kindergarten was once located, as this will guarantee that you will be able to obtain all the necessary permits. On average, the cost of the premises, including the installation of fire alarms, utilities and repair work, will cost approximately 15-18 thousand dollars. The same amount will have to be spent on equipping the kindergarten, including children's furniture, stationery and educational toys. Also add here the costs of arranging a catering unit, a bathroom, a medical office, as well as the salaries of workers - you get a very decent amount.

4. Services of a private driving instructor

Since every year there are more and more people on the city streets, but, unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer competent drivers. In view of the current situation, recently more and more people are turning to private driving instructors for help. Here is the answer to the question “What business to start with minimal investment?” The most important reason for this phenomenon can be called a person’s fear of getting behind the wheel, especially if he has no driving experience.

From the point of view of developing this direction in business, you can go in two ways: deal with clients yourself, or open your own company, the main activity of which will be driving training.

You need to start with thoughtful advertising. To do this, you can make a small website or create your own page in blog format. There you can post interesting articles on automotive topics, give advice on proper driving, and maintain constant communication with readers. Only after this, when you manage to convince potential clients of your competence and professionalism, will you be able to take on your first clients who, if they are satisfied with everything, will be happy to recommend the instructor to everyone they know. The most effective advertising in this matter is positive recommendations. And of course, you need deep theoretical and practical knowledge of traffic rules, as well as decent driving experience.

5. Sale of small animals

To engage in this type of activity, you first need to love animals and have at least basic animal care skills. As a rule, the scheme of this business is simple: there are purebred representatives of the fauna, they are brought together with other purebred “brethren”, and the resulting cubs are subsequently sold for good money. Therefore, before you start, you need to decide who exactly to breed and sell. These can be: cats, dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, parrots, fish and other animals.

It is best to sell small animals in thematic groups or on specialized sales sites. Registration for this type of activity is only necessary if each pet is provided with a certificate and passport certifying its purity of origin.

6. Sale of auto parts

Many people have cars, and almost every person has experienced a breakdown of their iron horse at least once in their life. Then begins the run to workshops and service centers in search of the necessary parts. Sometimes prices for spare parts can be greatly inflated (especially for expensive and rare cars), sometimes some components cannot be found at all. In light of such events, the idea of ​​starting a business selling auto parts seems quite feasible.

There are three directions in this business: spare parts for domestic, European and Asian cars - you need to choose a profile. Next, you need to think about what format the store will operate in: will it be an online store or an actual premises where you can come and look.

The specifics of the business are such that the automobile market is full of competitors, which means that you need to enter a niche either with a rich range of products, or at reduced prices, without sacrificing quality. You also need to have a great understanding of cars, otherwise there is no point in opening a point of sale.

Business ideas 2019 that are not in Russia: TOP-4 of the best abroad

Many entrepreneurs borrow ideas for their new businesses from abroad. The main thing here is to adapt it to the realities of our country and apply it in practice.

Example No. 1. Self-service laundries

One of the most thoughtful and interesting ideas that can be intercepted from Americans and Europeans. The meaning of such laundries is that a laundry room is set up in the basement of a residential building, where 10-15 machines are installed (depending on the number of residents of the house), and a person, as needed, goes down to the basement where he can wash his things.

To do this, you need to pay a small amount of money, throw things into the machine, set the desired mode, and then come and pick up the washed items. The reason for creating a separate laundry can be called the high price of water, and sometimes the idea of ​​​​creating such a business turns out to be convenient for everyone: people save a lot of money.

Self-service laundries have also begun to open in Russia, but so far they operate mainly in student dormitories. To open a business, you will need to obtain permission from the authorities, purchase washing equipment and powders - and you can start working. It will be more difficult to attract clients, because for Russian people this is still a new thing, and besides, there is a washing machine at home, why pay someone else.

Example No. 2. Rubber tiles

The business of producing rubber tiles has long become popular in Europe and the USA. The meaning of the idea is that the rubber remaining after production is not recycled, but is processed into crumbs, from which tiles are then made for laying. The price of raw materials is quite low, so the cost of rubber tiles will be low. Thanks to this, retail prices can be lower than for similar floor coverings, and the difference in price can be used as revenue from product sales.

Capital investment in this business requires the purchase of a vulcan press, pressing molds, raw mixers, drying chambers and construction tools. By the way, such tiles can be made not only for the home, but also for the courtyard areas of country holiday homes, summer cottages and cottages.

Example No. 3. Walking pets for several clients at once

For many people, pets are much more than just animals and for their comfort and convenience, people are willing to put in a lot of effort. Naturally, pets need to be walked regularly, and owners simply may not have the time. So why not entrust your pets to people who also love animals and will happily walk with them instead of the owner?

In Europe and America, this service has long developed into a separate line of business, so why not adopt this useful experience and apply it on yourself? Moreover, in addition to walking, you can offer owners related services, such as washing paws, feeding or bathing animals. A constant influx of customers will soon be guaranteed!

Example No. 4. 3D – sweets

This and other similar ideas began with the creation of a 3D printer, which, bringing to life many interesting ideas, quickly won thousands of fans around the world.

To put this idea into practice, you won’t need much: consumable ingredients will be enough: chocolate, sugar, caramel, etc. Despite the availability of “raw materials,” you will have to spend money on the printer itself, the cost of which varies from 5 to 15 thousand dollars. It will be possible to sell your products by agreement with confectionery shops, bakeries and sweet shops. The profit will be small at first, but then, if you get going, you can think about opening your own sweets shop.

Business ideas at home: TOP-4 for beginners with minimal investment

Many people find themselves in a home business and start making real money there. Next, we will look at examples of home businesses and which options are the most profitable and optimal.

Home based business #1. Female makeup artist and hairdresser

One of the most popular business ideas for women who dream of making a hobby additional income. Despite the high level of competition, this area still needs professionals. Often, well-promoted makeup artists either begin to charge huge amounts of money for their work, by the standards of the average person, or stop being creative in their approach to work, which is very important for the beauty industry. So it turns out that a novice makeup artist who strives to take into account all the wishes of the client and at the same time does not charge fabulous sums for his work can, in a fairly short time, acquire a whole army of “fans” who will happily recommend this person to their friends and acquaintances.

To start working in this direction, you need to take courses. Preferably those that are known for their professional and responsible approach to business. They may cost money, but the knowledge gained from them can, over time, become the most expensive investment in your own professional growth.

With the certificate in hand, you can start working on your client base. It is possible that at first you will have to work at a loss and do makeup and hairstyles for free, simply by obtaining permission to post photos on social networks. Initial capital will be considered funds invested in your education and advanced training. Here you should also add expensive, high-quality cosmetics and consumables, as well as tools, brush sets, styling products and much more.

But then, having managed to fulfill the first few orders “perfectly”, you can be sure that soon you will start receiving calls from clients who want to make an appointment for makeup or hairstyles. And clients in this business are, as you know, money.

Home business #2. Website development and promotion

Today, the market situation is such that those who know how to find the most effective ways to communicate with consumers are ahead. In the age of information technology, the most convenient “platform” for communication is your own website. Depending on the specifics and direction of the company’s activities, the site can be simple informational, in the form of an online store, or just one big advertisement for the enterprise. Fortunately, now more and more people are beginning to realize the need to create their “business card” on the Internet.

But it’s not enough to create a website, you also need to promote it, and, often, if the site is poorly optimized, then the entire amount of work on its creation simply comes to naught. It’s a rare person who will spend extra hours of time studying the resources displayed on the fifth, sixth and twentieth pages of the search. Typically, this range is limited to the first two, maximum three pages of the search results. That is why high-quality website promotion is now in such high demand in the market.

In order to make website promotion your source of income, it is advisable to open your own studio. But this is only if capital allows. If you don’t have enough funds yet, you can get serious about SMM marketing, advertising and offering your services in thematic groups, on forms in specialized communities. The success of an SEO optimizer is also determined by the number of satisfied customers, so you should approach two or three orders wisely, as you can gain the trust of users and subsequent orders.

As for your own studio, for this you will need to register the company as a legal entity, rent premises, hire staff and find customers. The starting capital for this business idea will be at least half a million rubles, however, given the average prices on the market for creating and optimizing a website, this amount will pay off quite quickly.

Home business #3. Copywriting and text rewriting

Copywriting and/or text writing can be a good job, but you need to have certain skills for this. Firstly, it is a good style and sense of style. The ability to “link two words” is not just words, it is a skill that a person either has or does not have. It is not easy to create a unique, literate text, using maximum useful information and without unnecessary “water,” but if a person knows how to do this, he will definitely find an additional source of income for himself.

In most cases, the user has a main job and does copywriting in his free time. In order to start working, it will be enough to create an account on one of the many copywriting exchanges, and then begin to carry out the simplest orders, gradually increasing and improving your level of skill.

If you plan to make copywriting your main income, it will take a lot of time, as well as diligence, perseverance and hard work. Gradually, having developed professional competencies and acquired several regular customers, you can confidently reach a new level and begin to take on more complex, larger, and, accordingly, more expensive orders. Knowledge of other languages ​​and the ability to express oneself in a foreign language in writing will be a huge advantage.

Home business #4. Family kindergarten

A family kindergarten, despite high demand and limited supply, is a rather labor-intensive enterprise and requires huge capital investments at the initial stage. The most time-consuming part will be finding suitable premises. The premises used for a kindergarten must comply with all fire and sanitary standards and be located away from roads, garages and establishments with high noise levels. Each child is entitled to a certain area of ​​at least 6 square meters. meters, the room should also have rest rooms, game room, kitchen and medical office.

The simplified taxation system can be used as a taxation system, and the form of registration of the institution will be the non-state educational institution ( non-state educational institution).

Next on the plan is staff recruitment, which is also not an easy task. Among the people working in a kindergarten there may be a cook, teachers, a child psychologist, a nurse, etc. The selected personnel (especially teachers and psychologists) must have all the necessary licenses and other permits, on the basis of which they can work with children.

To sum up the idea of ​​​​creating a kindergarten, we can say the following: at first it will be very difficult, you will have to tinker with papers a lot, but then there will be no end to the parents.

Summarizing

In conclusion, I would like to note a few important points that are worth paying attention to when implementing a certain business idea.

1. Don't ignore marketing research. The funds spent on qualitative market analysis will pay off handsomely and bring much more benefits than it might seem at first glance. This is especially true for new entrepreneurs who are just starting their entry into business. Market research is one of the most important steps, which helps to avoid a huge number of mistakes that lead to the loss of potential and actual customers and financial losses.
2. Any business idea must have a clear goal. It’s better if the goal is aimed at making the life of society easier, then clients will reach out more willingly and quickly. If a business does not have a goal, any endeavor (even one that was successful at the beginning) will simply die out over time. It is better to use the first profit to develop your business - and then success and constant growth are guaranteed.

If you look, you will notice that ideas for a small business from scratch with minimal investment are on the surface - the main thing is to know where to start, if only you have the desire. Good luck in your endeavors!

Modern trends in doing business require the entrepreneur to be constantly active and improve the principles of running his business. To develop and achieve consistently high profitability of an already established enterprise or just a business idea, it is necessary to regularly analyze the interests of the target audience and changes in business standards.

The most relevant business ideas of 2017

Experts predict a new surge of interest in creating gastronomic trends in the city and region (examples: Altai cheese, Arkhangelsk roe, Kupin gingerbread). In every locality it is possible to find a special culinary highlight and interest the consumer in this. If you have investment, you can go even further by creating your own company that organizes gastronomic and wine tours around the country, for example, like the Moscow “Travel Store”.

With the proper approach, profitability can reach 100%.

Opening a pawnshop

The interest rate for a loan secured by jewelry, fur clothing, and digital equipment is quite high - on average from 7 to 25% per month. The costs of organizing a pawn shop are not very high. Even 6 m² of rented space with armored doors and glass is enough for full-fledged work. You will also need to obtain a license, hire 2-3 cashier consultants, install a security system and, of course, have capital at your disposal.

Commercial rental service

In recent years, the economic situation in many families has been losing its stability, so many people are forced to give up buying many things. But at certain moments in life they become simply necessary. A good way out of this situation for both the consumer of the service and the entrepreneur is to open a store that rents clothes, accessories, household items, and even pets for photo shoots. Some of the most striking examples of the implementation of this business idea can be considered Lyudmila Bulavkina’s project “Look100” (rental of dresses of different styles), the online rental platform Rentmania, rental service Next2u, etc.

There are a huge variety of topics for classes, but it is important to choose one that will interest the target audience and organize them correctly.

Creating a new franchise business

A franchise gives an opportunity to a young entrepreneur or an experienced businessman to start developing his business with the support of the franchisor, following a ready-made business model. You can realize yourself in this way in any field, there are a lot of good offers: CITYCARD UNITY (mobile discount-bonus loyalty program), iCharge (for charging mobile devices), “Ministry of Stamp Products” (production of seals, stamps), “Begemotik” (sale toys, goods for children), MailBoxes (express delivery services), etc.

Advice: when choosing a franchise, it is important to carefully study the franchisor’s conditions and calculate the profitability of such a business in a specific region and for its target audience. You need to choose an option so that the costs of starting a business do not stop the development of the business and will soon bring profit to the owner.

And often it is not a matter of lack of investment, poor location, lack of access to credit, poor management or strong competition. Destructive factors include the entrepreneur's lack of confidence in his abilities and spontaneity when making decisions, which leads to the winding down of the business or bankruptcy. What typical mistakes will prevent even the most current project from developing and how to avoid them?

1. Excessive ambition and self-confidence. You need to start small and sell what is available and relevant today.
2. Inability to compete. It is necessary to prepare for emotional turbulence, negative reactions and competition.

30Sep

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

How to start a business with minimal investment

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

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

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

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

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

After a year and a half, I sold one of them for a tidy sum, and the second one remained with my partner.
