Well, we are ready - then let's start! 🙂

1. Which manufacturing business idea to choose?

Despite the seemingly well-established competition in all industries, finding and occupying your niche in the market is more than realistic! I will say more, from personal experience, I have repeatedly been convinced that some niches in a particular city / region can be practically free from competition at all - it remains only to occupy them and make a profit!😀

So, in fact, opening your own profitable production business is not as difficult as you might imagine, the main thing is to approach this business responsibly and choose a business idea that suits your capabilities and interests and that would be in demand among the population.

Below in the article, we just provided a list of the most popular production ideas for small businesses. In order to make it more convenient for you to decide on a particular business, each idea will be considered based on the following criteria:

• initial investment;
• required equipment/materials/room…;
• average profitability;
• payback;
• demand for products;
• production complexity.

If you have a small initial capital, then first of all, pay attention to simple business ideas that you can implement at home / in an apartment / garage (there are a lot of them listed in the article).

In addition, before implementing a business idea, analyze the market, purchasing power and competition in your city or region.

Separately, a few words should be said about competition. Of course, it is easiest to start production in an area where there is little or no competition. Such niches can be found in almost every city. But in this situation, it is important to understand that in some of them the demand for products may be narrow or limited.

As for the high competition, then it should not be afraid - if it exists, then this indicates, first of all, that this product is very in demand among the population. So, with the right positioning, you can always take your place in the market.

❗️ Advice from personal experience:
Do not immediately invest a lot of money in production, especially if you are not sure that the business will go uphill. Start small, and as soon as you are sure that the goods produced are in good demand, expand production.

Also keep in mind that sales of products in production occupies a key place, so you need to pay special attention!

But let's not digress too much from the topic of this article - in more detail about proper organization sales and other important principles of building successful business, which will save you a lot of money and time, you can read towards the end of the article.

Well, now, finally, let's move on to a review of business ideas! 👇

Idea No. 1 - Production of decorative artificial stone

ATTACHMENTS: ≈ from 30,000 - 100,000 rubles.

DESCRIPTION OF THE IDEA: Artificial stone is widely used as a decor both indoors (for wall cladding, shelves) and outside (for foundations, facades…).

This is enough profitable business, and most importantly, in demand among the population - on average, the demand for decorative stone is growing by 10% annually.

Here it is important, as in any production, to organize the sale of products in the first place. For example, the usual cooperation with finishers often allows you to organize a permanent sale of artificial stone. In addition, it is worth setting up wholesale deliveries to companies that sell building materials.

Additional income can be brought in by stone finishing and delivery services (or recommendations from those who provide such services).

WHAT YOU NEED:

• matrix forms;
• cement and sand (or gypsum);
• pigments (dyes) and other additives;
• room on average from 30-70 sq. meters (possible at home / cottage);

The technology for the production of artificial stone is quite simple: a solution is prepared from cement and sand (gypsum), poured into molds and hardens. Coloring can be done either after the stone has solidified, or when preparing a solution by adding powder pigments to it.

Gypsum stone is mainly used for interior work, and concrete stone is used for facade decoration. However, it has been observed that the demand for concrete stone is significantly higher than for gypsum stone.

The cost of 1 square. m. of such a stone usually does not exceed 200-250 rubles, the market value is on average 500-700 rub. per sq. meter .

Idea number 2 - Making paving slabs

But with the right positioning, you can always take your place in the market. For example, in small towns, budget paving slabs are very popular; accordingly, in the absence of local manufacturers, such a business can bring significant profit. You can also produce luminous paving slabs, which are now only gaining popularity.

It is worth adding that the production of tiles is a relatively low-cost business and it is quite simple to organize it even right at home.

WHAT YOU NEED:

• forms (from 20-35 rubles 1 pc.);
• vibrating tables (about 25 thousand rubles);
• room 50-80 sq. m.;
• cement, sand and gravel;
• pigments and mineral additives
• phosphor (for luminous tiles).

As a rule, 2-3 people will be enough to organize the production of paving slabs. The production process is not very labor intensive.

💡 The cost of manufacturing a square meter of tiles averages 150-240 rubles at a wholesale price of 350-400 rubles. Even a small production - about 300 sq. meters per month brings clean 35-50 thousand rubles .

By the way, another plus of this business is that it does not fall under certification and licensing!

Idea number 3 - Production of building cinder blocks

ATTACHMENTS: ≈ from 50,000 - 90,000 rubles.

WHAT YOU NEED:

• cinder block making machine
• cement and additives (plasticizers),
• building materials (slag, sand).

You will also need a warehouse for storing blocks and production room from 40 sq. meters.

A team of two or three people per shift can usually produce up to 800 pieces, as a result, with such a turnover, it is possible to make a profit aboutt 3-5 t. rub .

Its essence is that you find customers, negotiate all the details and nuances, take an advance payment, purchase all the necessary ready-made materials and assemble furniture to an individual size.

• drill and other tools (screwdrivers, drills, hammers ...),
• expendable materials,
• room from 20-30 sq. m for furniture assembly.

Such a business is very profitable and with minimal investment can pay off in just 1-3 months.

Idea number 7 - Making bio-fireplaces

INVESTMENTS: ≈ from 20,000 rubles.

IDEA DESCRIPTION:

A relatively new and promising business idea in the manufacturing industry is the production of environmentally friendly fireplaces. Such biofireplaces do not require a chimney, since the carbon dioxide that is released during the combustion of biofuels is completely safe for people.

The advantages of this business idea are that, on the one hand, there are very small investments for its implementation, and on the other hand, it can bring very significant profits and pay back all investments within 1 month.

At the same time, all production can be independently organized at home or in the garage.

WHAT YOU NEED:

• glass cutting tools or equipment;
• consumables: glass, stainless steel, sealants, biofuels (bioethanol)…

This idea is also great for small towns with a population of 20,000 or more.

WHAT YOU NEED:

• equipment for the production of greenhouses: pipe bender, welding ... (from 40-50 thousand rubles)

Idea number 9 - Making gazebos from wood

INVESTMENTS: ≈ from 35,000 rubles.

IDEA DESCRIPTION:

Without pavilions and garden houses, where one could sit and relax, perhaps not a single summer cottage can do. That is why the production of garden houses and gazebos is a relevant and fast-paying business.

Another significant advantage of this idea is the low entry threshold into this business. And besides, depending on your capabilities, experience and preferences, you can choose for yourself: make gazebos on your own or create your own team of responsible builders.

WHAT YOU NEED:

3. Sales is a key element of any production! Personal experience and useful recommendations

And now we will devote a little time to one of the most important moments in production - sales of products . Below I will briefly try to explain why, before producing anything, it is important to clearly understand exactly how the products will be sold.

I really hope that the described experience will be useful to any of you and will allow you not to step on the same rake that I did when opening my own business.

In my practice, I have been convinced more than once that often it is not an established and stable sales that leads to the fact that the business never starts to make a profit or brings, but very little.

In life, it usually turns out that many start-up entrepreneurs first invest money, start producing something, and only then think about selling products (and sometimes they have no idea at all how to sell manufactured products).

⚡️ It is important!
Any production lives only due to the sale of products: no sales ➡️ no sales ➡️ no business ! Therefore, before starting a business, carefully plan through which distribution channels and how the products will be sold!

remember, that Sales is the backbone of any business.! 80% of the success of your business depends on sales!

As for sales, there are 2 main channels for selling products:

• directly to the client (for example: through their own retail outlets/shops/offices; through advertising, newspaper ads and bulletin boards; through their website and/or group in social networks, word of mouth…);
• through wholesalers and retailers (for example, it is a very common practice to give products to intermediaries for sale, since this does not oblige them to anything, most of them will agree to cooperate).

In order to build a stable and successful manufacturing business, analyze and work through all the marketing options available to you at the moment. After all, often until you try it, you won’t know which of the sales channels will bring the main income.

By the way, also use internet to find new customers- many people underestimate him, but in vain. For example, I know many entrepreneurs for whom the Avito bulletin board is almost the only source of a client, and besides, it’s free!

Here are some more tips from my personal experience:

1️⃣ It will always be useful analyze the market , pricing and evaluate the competition. As I already mentioned, the presence of competition is not always bad, on the contrary, it indicates that this or that niche is in demand in the market!

As for demand, it can be roughly estimated in your city/region using the online statistics service Wordstat(wordstat.yandex.ru) from Yandex. And with the help of bulletin boards (Avito, for example), you can test the demand even before you start producing anything!

2️⃣ It does not hurt to make a small business plan on the chosen idea (especially for newcomers to the business). Just do not need to make it 50 sheets, make detailed calculations ... - this will not be of much use, because, as a rule, in life everything turns out quite differently than on paper.

It will be enough to describe the idea on just a few sheets to simply understand from the inside how the business works and how it functions, what is important and what is not ...

3️⃣ For a business to be successful, it is very important to find your strengths and stand out from competitors. For example, you can stand out due to the low price, product quality, high level of service, speed of delivery, etc. Describe your ideal client and focus on their top preferences and interests.

4️⃣ I do not recommend starting entrepreneurs to start production of any innovative products for which there is no demand yet. This requires a lot of experience and a fairly large investment, since in practice only 1-2 out of 10 new products shoot!

❗️ Therefore, it is better for beginners to start with goods for which there is already a steady demand.🙂

5️⃣ Give yourself to your work completely and with love . There is no need to act half-heartedly and with thoughts: it may work, or it may not. Have a clear intention that it will only be the way you intended. And of course, do your business with love for people, then you will definitely succeed!

Every person dreams of becoming financially free. Someone, through their own business, wants to get into the world strong people working for themselves, moving through life to the heights of success. And someone, with the help of entrepreneurship, plans to solve all their financial issues and the material component of their family. Still others, through free earnings, are looking for self-realization, the embodiment of their own potential. But, no matter how different they are from each other, these people have one thing in common - search for your own business idea.

Finding this idea, a spark, a short thought, sometimes just one word - this is the main and difficult task for any person planning to start his own business. Thousands and hundreds of thousands of ideas, proposals and possible activities swarm around us. To find out among them what will appeal to you, not everyone can afford. The doubts that arise after studying each new business idea make you think about the right choice. Weigh the pros and cons, calculate the possible profit and operating costs. In addition, each business idea is accompanied by other factors. Business risks that unexpectedly arise in the future for any, even ideal business. Failures that haunt every new business start. Fears that will always be next to the owner of the business. But.

the site and all other people know that the fear of failure, the fear of being the last one is inherent in all people, regardless of occupation. This is obvious and so vital for everyone. Fear of the new, in general, is a sign of adulthood. But some skillfully use it, while others, unfortunately, give in to difficulties, even the simplest ones. The sayings of great people, which became catchphrases, mottos and expressions, did not appear at the whim or imagination of their authors. This is the fruit of many years of work, this is a reflection of their life experience. Behind each word of the catchphrase is a great life story that led the author to the right thought. A story decided by ingenuity, knowledge and life experience. This experience does not come at will. This is, if literally, a description of the path, consisting of mistakes, conclusions and perseverance in achieving the goal. A path that repeats the mistakes of others and corrects its own mistakes, making new ones, but moving forward. Yes, it sounds high-flown. But, think about the phrase - a thousand blows with a hammer will not break a brick wall, but a thousand and one blows will destroy the wall completely. This is not only an allegory, perhaps it is the practical experience of the person who made these 1001 blows. Although, 99% of hammer owners won't hit hundreds of times. They will give up. They get scared. Saved from the lack of instant results, the complexity and severity of labor. But this will not be the main fear. The main thing is that these virtual owners of the hammer will be afraid of their own fantasy that they will not be able to realize what they planned. One-two-three-hundred strokes and that's it, faith disappears. They will not try to repeat, they will not check other available and possible options. So, literally speaking, the failure of an unrealized business looks like. Without converting an idea for a business into a working version, without trying a business idea in practice, is it possible to judge a business idea and evaluate unrealized opportunities?

It's like in rainy weather, going outside, to be sure of 100% dryness on the street. To think that you won't get caught in the rain without taking an umbrella. Self-confidence versus logic. Even with an umbrella, you can get your feet wet, but you can reach the desired goal. And so, getting wet to the skin, you have to turn around and return home. Similarly, in business - to be sure of success, you need to work and not be afraid of difficulties, every second adjusting to environment, figuratively, not shunning to take an umbrella in bad weather - not to think, but to act logically.

But the main failure, according to the site, is in the very unrealized business, in a business idea that you didn’t like - old age pension. One day, waking up in old age, to understand that you will have to live on one pension. And you can't fix it. It is the pension that will be the ceiling for any person - whether he works well or not. And there are no more insurmountable risks for the business idea. However, for an entrepreneur, things are different.

charm new business idea that anyone can run a business. The main thing is to believe in yourself. Don't look at the risks. Drive away doubts. See failure as a lesson for the future. Don't despair.

The embodiment of your own idea eliminates all previous risks and mistakes. There is no money - own business is designed to solve this problem. Low self-esteem - doing what you love increases self-esteem, gives confidence. You need to love your occupation and then mutual love and understanding will appear - how to develop yourself further. These are not even risks, these are small pitfalls that cannot be stopped, only slowed down and made the path to success more difficult, but possible and surmountable.

E-commerce is a great idea for small businesses

On a note! It is best for novice merchants to work on the dropshipping system. You will not need to buy goods and store them in a warehouse. An online store is only an intermediary between the buyer and the wholesaler. By the way, you can read about dropshipping.

The most popular products for sale online:

• clothes and shoes- the best-selling product on the Internet. Choose either well-known brands or personalized clothing. A T-shirt with a customer's name or favorite pattern is more in demand than the faceless clothing you can buy in any other store;
• phone accessories- covers, headphones, chargers;
• accessories for creativity and hobbies. In traditional stores, the range of such products is too scarce.
• high quality fashion jewelry;
• organic food. Healthy lifestyle at the peak of popularity. Cereals, dried fruits, vegetable oils, low-calorie organic sweets show a consistently high level of sales.

The benefits of e-commerce are many. Firstly, you do not need to spend money on office space rent and staff salaries. Secondly, it will take a minimum of time to start a business - 2-3 weeks. Thirdly, your store will be open 24 hours a day and you do not need to constantly monitor its work. Fourthly, audience coverage is not limited to any particular city or region. An online store always has room to grow.

The disadvantages of e-commerce include high competition, as well as the need for promotion and constant advertising.

Business idea number 2. Realtor

The services of real estate agents are becoming more and more popular. To implement this idea, you do not need special knowledge and education. The business is considered profitable, and financial investments are practically not required. There is only one drawback - an irregular working day, especially during the first time of training and searching for clients.

A realtor must be well versed in the real estate market of the region, view ads daily, single out good housing at a reasonable price from the general mass, find clients, show them the premises.

To open a real estate business, it is not necessary to register an individual entrepreneur. At first, it is possible to provide services without official status. The best place to start is with the rental market. When there is enough experience and knowledge, you can move on to apartments and houses intended for sale.

Business idea number 3. candle production

Decorative candles are a universal gift and a stylish interior decoration. You can make products of different shapes, colors, execution techniques. Thematic candles are popular: in the form of Easter eggs, Christmas trees, cartoon characters, bottles of beer, fruits, etc.

Finished products can be sold to small retail stores, large retail chains, online stores. But it is most profitable to open your own small point and sell goods there.

At the start, it is better to work as an artisan so as not to spend money on opening an individual entrepreneur or company. True, in this case you will not be able to sell ready-made candles to enterprises or large retail outlets. Therefore, your first customers will be friends and acquaintances. To stimulate sales, you can start a page on a social network and post photos of your work there.

The downside of the idea is that candle production cannot be organized in a residential building. A garage or a small room in an industrial area with an area of ​​​​at least 25 meters is suitable.

To open an enterprise, you need a starting capital of 3000-4000 dollars. There is almost always a demand for decorative candles. This is a profitable business. The competition is not too high, and the margin on the goods is 100-400%.

Business idea number 4. Photo stocks

To make money on photos, you need to have a good camera, computer and photo editor (for example, Adobe Photoshop). Business does not require registration of the enterprise. It can be combined with the main job or other types of earnings in the network.

First, learn how to take beautiful and high-quality photographs. Simple stories, photo reports, artistic and thematic photos are in great demand. After editing in Photoshop the best shots upload to special sites that are an intermediary between buyers and photographers. They also ensure the security of the transaction. The most popular photobanks are CreStock, Lori, Shutterstock, etc.

Business idea number 5. landscape design

In Russia, the demand for the design and landscaping of sites is growing every year. Companies that have been operating in this market for a long time prefer rich clients, since the price tag is much higher there. Representatives of the middle class are also willing to pay for high-quality landscape design of summer cottages. However, there are almost no firms focused on this segment.

On a note! It is best to start with the design of small household plots and cottages. Such orders are the simplest. When there is enough experience, you can move on to the design of city parks, squares and clubs. The authorities prefer to give such orders famous companies with a good reputation.

Business idea number 6. Organization of holidays

People always celebrate birthdays, weddings or corporate parties, even in times of crisis. Therefore, the professional holding of such events is in high demand. At first, you can only deal with children's holidays. Little customers are easier to please, they are easy to cheer. The main task of the animator is to ensure that the children leave the holiday happy.

It will take 20,000-30,000 rubles to open a company. Most of the money will go to tailoring suits. But you can save money if you take clothes in theater studios for rent. In the future, the main expenses will be spent on transport, advertising and staff salaries.

It is not necessary to rent an office. But you should have a website or a page on the social network, where you can see photos of your events and satisfied customers. It is important to have a car to deliver animators to the venue of the holiday. It is advisable to purchase good musical equipment.

The key to a successful business is the high professionalism of people who speak directly to the audience. Therefore, they must be chosen responsibly. The number of staff depends on the specialization of the agency. In some cases, it is enough to find only animators. Sometimes a DJ, toastmaster or even a florist is needed. Be sure to hire a manager who will work with customers and perform the function of a logistician.

Business idea number 7. cleaning company

The services of professional cleaners are used by owners of small and large office premises, supermarkets, shopping centers, public organizations and individuals. Cleaning business can start with a narrow specialization, but then the range of services provided must be constantly expanded. Be sure to master removing stains from furniture and cleaning carpets. These services have a high cost, so they can significantly increase the overall income of the enterprise.

On a note! If you plan to work with individuals, it is enough to register an IP. But for cooperation with large organizations, it is necessary to register an LLC.

The main disadvantage of this idea is the need for significant financial investments. At the initial stage, about 500 thousand rubles will be needed. To save money, you can purchase the simplest cleaning equipment. But in the future, the equipment will have to be replaced with something better and more powerful.

Not everyone wants to clean up - and then you will come to the rescue

You don't need to rent a large office. Premises with an area of ​​25 sq. m. is enough. The staff should consist of 2-3 cleaners. Over time, you can hire a manager and an accountant.

Business idea number 8. Technical support service

If you are good with computers, you can try to open a technical support service. This idea requires minimal investment, but finding enough customers will be difficult. To search for orders, you can create a website that advertises your services. It is important that search engines respond to the user's request "city such and such technical support" to give out exactly your page. Therefore, when creating a website, you need to involve all your knowledge in SEO optimization.

To increase the number of orders, you can place ads on Avito, city portals and other similar sites.

Business idea number 9. Sale of vegetables and fruits

The food trade is always profitable business. The competition in this area is very high, but small vegetable shops are not very common.

Customers prefer to buy vegetables and fruits in small retail outlets. There they are usually fresher and more natural than in supermarkets. Small vegetable stalls work with local producers whose products are more trusted by customers. The goods most often come directly from farmers, bypassing warehouses and wholesale depots. This greatly reduces costs and provides an attractive price for customers.

The amount of start-up capital strongly depends on the region. Therefore, you need to do the calculations yourself, taking into account the prices for the goods and the rent of the premises.

The main criterion for choosing a place is the density of the human flow. An outlet can be a small shop, pavilion or stall.

If you are interested in how to open grocery store, read . We will learn how to register a business, what documents are needed, how to organize supplies and other complex issues.

There are two drawbacks to this idea:

1. vegetables and fruits spoil quickly, which increases costs;
2. the success of trading depends entirely on how the product looks.

Business idea number 10. Advertising agency

It is not necessary to hire a large staff. For the first time, you need to find 2-3 people who are familiar with computer design. Part of the work can be entrusted to freelancers.

The main problem is finding orders. The first customers can be found by wisely using the Internet.

All cash, spent on the launch of an advertising agency, return after the first orders.

Business idea number 11. Breeding and sale of aquarium fish

Therefore, an aspiring entrepreneur does not need to worry about the need to stand out in some way. aquarium fish you can breed right in your apartment, and then sell them. An entrepreneur does not need to have a special education, it is enough to read the literature on the topic. There is also a lot of information on the World Wide Web.

You need to start with individuals that breed best. They are inexpensive. You can start selling soon. But these fish have many disadvantages. Firstly, such breeds are the most common and can be bought at almost any pet store. Secondly, since the cost of the fish is low, the profit from their sale will also be low.

The best-selling and easy-to-care aquarium fish:

1. gold;
2. notopter;
3. barbs;
4. cichlids;
5. synodontis, etc.

On a note! You can breed more expensive and rare species of fish. But you need to choose the breed with caution. There is practically no information about some representatives of the aquarium fauna on the Internet. And improper care can lead to the death of your pets. In addition, fish from Australia, Asia or India do not breed well. In some cases, they may not give offspring at all.

This business requires a small financial investment. Of the equipment, you will have to buy 10 aquariums with a volume of 200 liters each. You also need compressors for aeration, filters for water purification, thermometers and thermostats.

With 10 aquariums, an entrepreneur can receive 900-1000 dollars of net profit every month.

Business idea No. 12. Online store on Vkontakte

Recently, in the popular social network Vkontakte, it became possible to open your own online store. The main advantage of this idea is a quick start. Creating an online marketplace will take a few minutes. The work is simplified as much as possible, but for beginner businessmen this is exactly what you need.

To do this, go to the community management page, select "Page Management" and click on the buttons "Additional sections" - "Products". Next, fill in the information about your store. After that, you can upload the product and advertise your products.

A big disadvantage of this business is the inability to make payments directly in the online store. You will have to accept payments by e-wallets, bank accounts or cards. It is convenient to make payments using the Yandex. Cashier Plus.

Business idea number 13. Cargo transportation

Another promising business for beginners is trucking. Thanks to the rapidly developing Internet commerce, the demand for such services is constantly growing.

By the way, cargo transportation is closely related to the logistics industry - a complex and interesting activity.

You don't have to buy your own cars to open a freight forwarding agency. The task of a businessman is to find clients and negotiate with the owner of the truck. That is, the agency performs the role of a dispatch service, which transfers applications to performers for a percentage.

Over time, you can buy your own cars and put hired drivers in them.

Business idea number 14. Making business cards

When making business cards, special attention should be paid to quality and design. After all, it is the business card that speaks of the success and seriousness of the business.

Making business cards is a simple process, so even a beginner can implement a business idea. First, with the help of graphic programs (Photoshop, Corel Draw), a layout is created. If the customer likes it, printing begins. Any paper can be used, depending on the order. Next, the paper sheet is cut, and the finished business cards are packaged.

• laminating machine;
• materials (paper, cardboard, film).

At the initial stage, at least 100 thousand rubles are required, excluding office space rental. To save money, you can purchase an inexpensive cutter. But it’s not worth saving on a printing press, since the quality of your products depends on it.

Thanks to the Internet, you can share your knowledge with people from all over the world. Using Skype, it is possible to implement the following business projects:

1. Learning foreign languages;
2. lawyer consulting;
3. psychologist consultations;
4. life coaching.

All of the above can be done only with the appropriate knowledge and education. Such a business does not require any costs, not counting the cost of the Internet. The undoubted advantage of the idea is that you can give consultations anywhere - at home or while traveling.

Business idea number 16. recruitment agency

The business is attractive because it requires a minimum start-up investment. Another plus is that the state has little control over the activities of recruitment agencies.

Potential customers are large and small companies that do not want to recruit staff on their own. Scheme of work recruitment agency:

1. The customer submits an application and the agent starts the search.
2. If there is no suitable candidate among the applicants, the personnel officer submits an ad in a newspaper or on the Internet.
3. The agent conducts a preliminary interview with applicants. Those who are most suitable for the requirements of the employer are sent for an interview with the head of the customer company.
4. If the applicant is hired, the recruitment agency receives a commission.

Recruiting is an interesting field of activity

This business idea has several downsides. Customers or applicants may not comply with the terms of the contract, not provide all the necessary information. Then the second party is dissatisfied with the work of the recruitment agency. Another common problem is that the employer evades payment. The applicant is accepted, but later and without the participation of a recruitment agency.

Business idea number 17. Photo studio

The owner of a photo studio receives income from three directions:

• professional advertising photography (for placement in catalogs, booklets, portfolios);
• reportage shooting;
• studio and photo equipment rental.

Opening a photography studio will require large financial investments. But with the right organization advertising campaign, all costs will be returned after a few months. And the entrepreneur will receive a consistently high income.

2. The studio needs to be renovated. In the room, in addition to the studio itself, there should be a shower cabin, a fitting room with a mirror and a screen, as well as an office for the administrator with a computer and Internet access.
3. Of the equipment needed reflex camera, 4 light sources with a power of 1000 W or more, holders, a camera tripod, herons, stands, softboxes, curtains, umbrellas.

The staff of the photo studio consists of a photographer, an administrator and a make-up artist.

Business idea number 18. Making plush bouquets

Lovely exclusive bouquets of soft toys are always in high demand. Business can be organized at home, the materials are inexpensive and available to everyone. To make bouquets you need:

• soft toys of small size;
• accessories for decorating bouquets used by florists.

Competition in this area is low, so they cost finished works much more than its cost.

Learning how to make plush bouquets is easy. You can find many tutorial videos and tutorials on YouTube. Your product should be compact and light, especially if the gift is for a child.

All work can be done manually. But in order to cope with large volumes, you will have to purchase a sewing machine and an overlocker.

Business idea number 19. home atelier

The advantage of the studio is that it can be organized right at home. You need to learn how to sew. To do this, you can go to cutting and sewing courses, which are available in almost any major city. In extreme cases, you can use the lessons from the Internet.

With a modest choice of clothes, the atelier is an interesting option for the buyer.

By the way, it's not bad if you or your employee has taste. So you can expand your customer base and attract people who are unsure of their ability to choose their wardrobe.

Business idea number 20. Renting apartments

You don't have to be a homeowner to build a real estate rental business. You can rent the premises yourself, and then re-sublet it for a higher price.

The process begins with finding an apartment. The price should not be high, but the house should be located in the city center or not far from it. Next, you need to contact the owner of the apartment and draw up an agreement in which he gives the entrepreneur the right to sublease the housing.

On a note! The contract must be concluded for a long period, otherwise you will incur losses.

After signing the contract, make a small repair in the apartment and buy simple furniture. Then place an ad in a newspaper or the Internet. It is better to rent housing on a daily or monthly basis, since short-term rentals are more expensive than long-term ones.

This business has three major drawbacks:

1. After each tenant, the apartment must be cleaned, and bed linen and towels washed. To save time and effort, you can hire a cleaning lady.
2. The owner of the apartment has the right to refuse to provide you with housing after a couple of months. You can't get your repair costs back.
3. Tenants come at any time - at night, early in the morning. Therefore, the presence of a personal car is required.

Business idea number 21. Making inscriptions from plywood or wood

Decorative elements made of plywood and wood will decorate any interior. They look stylish and modern. They are often ordered to decorate photo zones, residential premises, offices, elite cafes, boutiques and shops.

To start a business, you need to purchase materials: plywood, paint, jigsaws. Templates for inscriptions can be drawn independently. But, if you do not have artistic skills, the Internet will come to the rescue.

At the start, you need to invest at least 30 thousand rubles. With the right business, the costs will return in a month or two. The main problem is to find a client. It is important to beautifully design a website or a page on a social network to attract customers.

Business idea number 22. Pet furniture

This business will become successful only in a large city. In the village and small towns, pet furniture will not be in demand.

Inside, the furniture for the animal should be made of soft materials. External design can be any to the taste of the owners.

In Russia, there are not many companies involved in such a business, so it will not be difficult for an entrepreneur to negotiate with pet stores. Make colorful catalogs of your products and leave them at retail outlets. Also create your own website with photo works. It will be convenient to take orders through it.

The net profit from the goods is at least 100%. A businessman will have to spend money only on equipment and materials. Production can be organized in your home. Given the minimum investment, the income will be high.

Types of pet furniture that you can build a business on:

• lining;
• mattress;
• sofa;
• claw-drawer;
• sunbed;
• house;
• climbing structures.

Complex furniture also sells well. For example, house + mattress + scratcher.

Business idea number 23. Rental of special equipment

It is unprofitable for many small companies to purchase their own special equipment, since they need it infrequently. Such machines require Maintenance and the availability of trained staff, which further increases costs. It is much more profitable to rent special equipment.

Renting equipment is an interesting idea

There are many types of special equipment:

1. construction equipment - bulldozers, cranes, mixer trucks;
2. agricultural machinery;
3. utility vehicles;
4. warehouse equipment;
5. water transport;
6. vehicles for the transport of passengers and goods;
7. woodworking equipment;
8. railway transport;
9. escalators, lifts, elevators, etc.

The choice of technology depends on the characteristics of your region.

The cost of rent is calculated as follows: the price of the car is divided by 12. The amount received is equal to the rental of equipment for the month. Thus, the business pays off within 1-2 years.

Business idea number 24. Finishing products with liquid stone

Liquid stone is a new word in construction. The material quickly gained popularity and its sales are growing steadily. On this you can build a successful small or large business.

Liquid stone is obtained by mixing polymer resin and other components. After hardening, the material looks like a natural stone. The mixture is resistant to temperature changes. It does not absorb water, dirt or dust. Does not change properties or color over time. Liquid stone is many times cheaper than natural stone.

Liquid stone is most often used for interior work. They are finished with sinks, floors, stairs, window sills, countertops. They often decorate the facades of buildings.

To organize production you will need:

1. space up to 30 sq. m., divided into two halves (one for making the mixture and applying it to the surface, the other for grinding);
2. grinders;
3. containers of different sizes;
4. drills, screwdrivers, circular saw;
5. other small construction tools.

The room in which the mixture will be produced must always have tap water.

Producing liquid stone is easy. It will take only a few days to master the technology. First, the mixture is poured into the mold. After hardening, the product is polished and give it a finished look.

Advertising and promotion are important in this business. Therefore, already at the start, this item of expenditure should be one of the most significant. You need to carry out advertising companies both on the Internet and offline (radio advertising, billboards). To start cooperation with construction companies, you need to correctly draw up commercial offers. If you manage to get a few large clients, you are guaranteed a consistently high income.

Business idea number 25. Sale of expired goods

This business does not involve cash investments, and the scheme of work is as simple as possible. If the bread has expired, it is withdrawn from sale. Bakeries throw such products in the trash. But expired bread can still be used as animal feed.

Waste disposal is an extra waste, so the plant will be happy if someone picks it up on their own. You need to meet with the accounting department and agree on the sale of the delay. The price is set symbolically, no more than 1 ruble per kilogram. You sell 5-10 times more expensive. Next, the entrepreneur places ads in a newspaper or on the Internet. Due to the low cost of products, customers are quickly found. And since farmers always need feed, there is no need for constant advertising.

The hardest part of this business is finding a factory that is willing to sell you scrap. Not every manufacturer works honestly. Some unscrupulous bakeries mix expired bread into new products.

Hello dear readers and all those who just came to my site. This article is about business ideas that have always worked and will continue to work. Below I will give many examples of business ideas, I will also give examples on myself, my friends and acquaintances. And after reading this article and all those that it will link to, you will hopefully have no questions left about which business idea to choose for yourself. But I would also advise you to visit the section about. So, let's begin.

Why did I decide to write this article?

Please read this paragraph for sure! There are several reasons:

1. Sites that you meet. If you have tried to search for small business ideas on the Internet, then you know all these business idea sites that contain information about some unusual ideas or I don’t even know what to call them, see for yourself:

I apologize to the administrator of this site for citing it as an example. If this hurts you, I can remove the screen and screen any other site.

So there are a lot of such ideas on the sites and do you really think that such ideas will help you? I'm not saying that these sites are bad, they are all good in their own way and bring money to their creators, but such business ideas, and especially in Russia, are practically not applicable. Some of them, of course, have a place to be, but the rest ...

2. Secondly, why are you trying to find an unusual business idea? Perhaps your creative thinking is waking up, but after all, everything that brings people money now is quite ordinary business ideas, but with some kind of unconventional implementation. Take a look around! Do you know at least a few or one person in your city who made money on fashionable furs from animals killed in road accidents? I dont know. But I have many examples of people who made money by opening their store, providing services, etc. (and I am no exception). And they all earned, earn and will earn while you search the Internet for unusual, mind-boggling ideas for a small business. May be enough?

3. Reason number three is this: almost all business ideas come from ONE schema. You are looking for a people problem or need and think about how to solve this problem. Well, there's a second pattern that's different but overlaps: you come up with an idea that others might like, and you create an offer that should generate demand. BUT this model also works from the needs. Indeed, in order to come up with this idea and start implementing it, you must initially keep the USP in your head, you must understand why your innovation is necessary, what problem it will solve, etc. And only if this problem is relevant and massive, then you can do business on it.

All of the above is my personal opinion and you may not share it. I do not urge you to agree with me, but in my head it happened because I earn money without any unusual ideas and all my surroundings also earn them.

Business ideas that have worked and will continue to work

So let's get to the point. In this article below I will give examples of business ideas that work 100%. I will not describe in the most detailed way the implementation processes, we can talk about them in the following articles, if you are interested.

What do I understand by eternal business ideas? This is what surrounds us and what there is always a need for. Yes, everything is simple!

1. People will always want to eat;
2. People will always get sick;
3. We all want to look beautiful;
4. We all need security;
5. We all need to dress and put on shoes;
6. All of us will always have cars breaking down and getting dirty;
7. Everyone has electronics in apartments and houses, and it is also not eternal;
8. We always need somewhere to live, so construction and renovations don't go far;
9. We will always want to rest (entertainment services);
10. We will always travel;
11. We will always celebrate weddings, corporate parties and other holidays;
12. Stock and currency markets will always exist;
13. Animals are our passion (for some);
14. And many many others.

These are just a few examples of those areas that will always accompany us through life, and it is in these areas of activity that we need to look. There are also others, but you yourself will add in the comments! Now let's go through each of them with examples!

Small Business Ideas in the Service Industry

Services are the cheapest type of business to start, because you do not need to have space for warehouses and retail outlets and do not need to purchase goods. You are simply providing services that you are well versed in. I even wrote an article on how to get started. In general, a whole section is devoted to this and it is called ""

Construction and repair services

We will always live somewhere and the construction industry will flourish. If you don't have money to open construction company and build skyscrapers or cottages, then you can assemble a team and build to order.

Repair services are generally diverse and in great demand. You can:

1. Make repairs in apartments and other premises;
2. Installing suspended ceilings(my friend who makes money on it);
3. Floor repair(an article from one of my clients who deals with dry screeding, adjustable floors, dismantling, etc. will be published soon. And more than enough orders!)
4. Plumbing and electrical installation and locksmith work(There is also more than enough work, because not everyone can change radiators, pipelines, etc.).
5. Installation of windows, doors, cabinet furniture, etc. also an eternal business (my relatives still make cabinet furniture).
6. Construction and decoration of baths. This summer we built a bathhouse and this pleasure is not cheap, and the specialists are so busy that we have to stand in line;
7. Welding work. I will return to the bathhouse and say that only the water tank and the stove cost us 35,000 rubles. and did it to us to order 2 welders. Good money;
8. Drilling wells under water is now actively in demand;
9. There are many other services that can be provided in this area. If I missed something obvious, add it in the comments.

Automotive repair and maintenance services and transportation services

Many of us have cars and no matter how you look at them, they will always require repairs, washing and other maintenance. Well, those who do not have cars or other transport will always feel the need to move. I will also give examples of business ideas and earnings:

1. Car repair. You can open a repair shop in your garage or rent a larger space. This is a fairly profitable business and here the issue of competition is decided by skill. If you have good masters or you yourself are a master, then you will not end up with clients. A friend of mine is doing repairs in his garage, so the line is lining up for him!
2. Repair of individual parts of the car. For example, seat upholstery (one of my readers wrote to me that he does this business in his garage), painting and body repair (my uncle removes 2 boxes and does body repair and painting), electronics repair, alarm installation, gas equipment, sound, etc. All of these are in great demand.
3. Car washes, too, were, are and will be. Far from everyone wash their cars on their own (although we have washing equipment in the garage, we still go to the car wash).
4. Cargo transportation. Whatever one may say, when moving you will need a truck, in case of an accident or breakdown (God forbid) you will need a tow truck, etc. Here's real money for you. I once said that in the winter of 2014 I helped my friend organize office work in his seasonal business. So I talked with his temporary drivers on gazelles about whether it is profitable to do this or not. They unanimously say that it is profitable and often they cannot even process all orders.
5. Passenger Transportation. We have always traveled and will continue to travel by taxi, busier people (like my friend I mentioned above) use the services of a personal driver, on a long trip with friends we always order a gazelle or a mini-bus, in general, these services will not go anywhere with market! If you have such transport, then earn as much as you like, the main thing is to think over everything.
6. I look forward to more additions in the comments!

beauty and health

This topic is timeless! People will always take care of their health, and girls will also take care of their beauty.

1. Cosmetic services. My girlfriend (even a few friends and acquaintances) does manicures, pedicures, all sorts of depilations, etc. So she does it at home, and earlier she rented an office. Things were going well, and they are going well.
2. Hairdressing services. It's not worth talking about it, it will always be in demand. If you have a good master or you are one, then you will always have clients. For example, I am ready to go even to the other end of the city to my hairdresser if she moves (God forbid).
3. Wellness services. I even wrote an article on this topic. You can provide consulting services, massage services, etc.
4. Sports services. You can be a personal trainer, open a gym, etc.

Holidays

I am now choosing specialists to organize and conduct my wedding, and I understand that we have a big deficit in this. For half a year we occupy ourselves with a host, a restaurant, a group of performers, a show program and much more.

1. Organization of celebrations. Providing a range of services. This is a great business. I used to work in this area and my best friend is still working (I also wrote an article about this,).
2. Weddings and corporate events. As I said above, my friend still voices the events and works with the hosts. A good presenter has a queue scheduled for a year in advance and we were in a hurry to have time to take the required date from him. I am quite familiar with one of these and will give approximate figures: one presenter (master of ceremonies) earns more than 300,000 rubles per month. pure money, working only 2-3 days a week. This is in Omsk, and in Moscow this figure is many times higher.
3. Photographers, videographers for the event are simply needed. Find good photographer you also need to be able to, because everyone can press the buttons, but not everyone can take high-quality pictures and process them.
4. I look forward to other ideas from you in the comments. In this area, you can add a lot of things, as in all others;)

Tourism

The tourism business will also always exist. You can organize various tours and not only abroad! Especially now, during the fall of the ruble, many people began to think about holidays in Russia and even began to actively open travel agencies that deal only with tours in Russia. Here, too, the field is not plowed:

1. Tour organization(travel agency), but not banal, but some thematic and unusual tours. There are those who organize beer tours, tea tours, ski tours, wedding tours, New Year tours, etc. Come up with a quality tour according to your interests and offer it to people.
2. Organization of excursions. If your city is a tourist city, then you can organize excursions to interesting places.
3. Rent a car and housing. Someone does not want to stay in hotels because it is expensive, but renting a room or apartment would be more profitable.

Entertainment

The entertainment industry earns even in times of crisis, and moreover, even new companies are opening. Paintball, laser tag, airsoft, bowling, billiards, saunas, water parks, cafes, children's attractions, cinemas and much more. You can think of some other entertainment services.

Education

We are all always learning something and this need is eternal. There can be a lot of business ideas here, for example:

1. Tutoring. If you know a subject well, you can be a tutor for schoolchildren and students.
2. speech therapy, psychological cabinets etc. Not all children are perfect with speech and behavior, and sometimes you need to resort to the services of speech therapists. I won’t go far, only two of my friends’ children started talking late and resorted to the services of a speech therapist.
3. Teaching technical knowledge and skills. If you are a good designer or layout designer, or a programmer, for example, then you can teach this to others and get paid. You can teach online or open courses in office centers.
4. Learning foreign languages. It has become quite a popular trend. At first, activity was high on English language, and now Chinese is gaining momentum.
5. And many, many more. Also add in the comments.

You can implement these ideas via the Internet and offline, as you prefer, but I would advise using the Internet. YouTube, your website and social networks help you!

Well, various services

There are still a lot of services that we meet in life and are in demand.

1. Atelier, tailoring and repair of clothes at home;
2. Legal services;
3. Accounting services;
4. Repair of PC and home appliances (an eternal topic!). I have several friends doing this and making good money!;
5. Website development (my theme);
6. And much more.

What is the main thing in service business ideas?

The main thing is to be a specialist in the field in which you provide services. If you are a good master or specialist, then your services will always be in demand and you will never be left without clients. Do it well and you will be drawn to!

Business ideas for the sale of goods

With goods, it is a little easier to find buyers, because if your product is in demand, then it will be bought anyway. If the service may not be ordered, because they themselves know how to do something, then many goods cannot be produced on their own. But there are also disadvantages in that the entrance to this business is more expensive, because you need to have space for storing and selling goods and money for their purchase. In general, now let's go over the eternal ideas, but I recommend everyone to visit the section "". So, let's begin!

Food and catering

All of us will always want to eat and food will never leave the market. There are even more ideas here, because there are a huge number of goods. You can open:

1. Mini-shops in every area where there are none. New areas that are being built up will suit you.
2. Fast food is an eternal topic. Everyone loves fast and cheap food. I have never seen fast food outlets idle if they are in passable places. In underdeveloped cities, in general, many fast food chains are absent. Even here in Omsk, McDonalds only opened a few months ago. We still don’t even have such fast foods as Gyro (Greek fast food).
3. Canteens or Euro-canteens. in the form of an interview with the owner of a network of euro-canteens in St. Petersburg. Pretty good direction, which will continue to develop.
4. Cafes and restaurants. An even more peculiar business, but now there are mini-cafes or coffee shops that are not so expensive to open, but there are a lot of people in them. The main thing is to find your topic and client.
5. Homemade products. I already once said that my friend bakes all sorts of pies and muffins and they are bought up quite well from her. You can bake cakes, fish and meat products, pickles and all this will sell well. Again, you need to find your chip and client. Our neighbor in the garage smokes fish, meat, poultry, and everything is actively bought from him, and especially for the holidays.
6. And so on…

Clothes, shoes, accessories…

I won’t go far, I have an online bag store, I wanted to do clothes, but this is “not mine”, I don’t like it. But we will always wear clothes, shoes, underwear. You can open clothing stores, underwear, shoes, accessories, online stores of all this, etc. If you interest the client with the price or assortment, or the quality of the goods, or the convenience of making purchases, then you will always have sales. Suppliers can be easily found in China, in Russia and in any other country. I even have an article about . In general, visit the section "" and there you will find many articles on China.

Products for animals and the animals themselves

Just look at people who have a dog or a cat. Many of them are ready to eat for themselves without buying, as long as their dog eats food with vitamins and walks in a beautiful overalls. You can also breed dogs and cats of expensive breeds. One of my friends breeds Bengal kittens, the second one breeds Labradors and Golden Retrievers. So they have one puppy and a kitten costing 25,000 rubles each. and more.

And other goods

As I said, there are many products and I will not list them. What is the first thing that comes to mind from the goods that will always be in demand except for the above: furniture, dishes, interior items, bedding, household supplies, household chemicals, consumer electronics, plumbing, children's toys, hygiene products, etc. Look for those goods that people really need, do not invent all sorts of skins of animals that died in an accident or a biodegradable drone (I'm talking about the screenshot at the beginning of the article)!

Sale of various goods from China

A favorite topic on my site among readers, and many do it very well, incomes are coming. I have a whole section devoted to this topic, so I will not dwell on it in detail in this article. The section is called "". It describes how to order, how to sell, what to sell, etc.

Combination of services and goods

I won't list too much here, but I'll explain. You can provide services and sell related products. For example:

1. You bake cakes and pastries to order. In parallel, you can sell the ingredients and accessories for this. For example, all kinds of baking dishes, mastic, decorations, and any other little thing that you use.
2. You provide plumbing and plumbing services. You can sell accessories in parallel. For example, if you are hired to change batteries (radiators), you can offer to buy them from you, as well as plastic pipes, plugs, etc. And there you look and you will need a faucet in the bathroom in parallel or something else ...
3. If you're an electronics or PC repairer, you can sell parts, parts, or other electronics you own.
4. If you repair a car, then you can sell consumables in parallel.
5. Etc.

There are also many ideas here, and this section is closest to me in spirit, because I myself earn exclusively on the Internet, well, or basically. So ideas.

Online store

The online store is now a promising area that will continue to develop for a long time. Firstly, it is convenient for the client, and secondly, prices can be kept lower, because there is no lease of retail space. I have a whole section on the site about online stores,!

Your site

You can make your information site, publish interesting materials, attract traffic and earn on advertising. This is one of my main focuses. On the Internet, the most valuable thing is information. It is for her that people come to search engines. And if you have useful information for people, then they will read you, which means there will be traffic. You can make yourself several sites, but then you will need a team to administer them. From the site you can earn a lot, but you can not earn at all, in every business there is a risk. But, if you understand optimization, you have a topic that you can share with others, then you can try.

How to make and where to get a site:

• The site can be made by yourself. This is not difficult, because there are a lot of free engines (cms) now, such as WordPress. They are simply installed on the hosting and are essentially ready to go. But for greater efficiency, you still need to be able to configure some functions, which is also not difficult.
• You can order from someone. At first, I do not advise you, because you will need knowledge in the engine on which you have a website if you are going to continue to do this.
• You can buy a ready-made site that has already been promoted, optimized and generates income (or not yet, but there are already at least some readers). You can do this on a special exchange, and I wrote an article about this:.

You can make money on the site in many ways: contextual advertising, banner advertising, affiliate programs, direct advertisers, placement of paid articles and other materials, etc. You can read all this at the link above (in the special section).

Providing services on the Internet or freelancing

This is also a great business opportunity. You can provide completely different services or just be a freelancer and complete tasks on the freelance exchange.

Services may vary:

1. Website development;
2. Tincture of advertising on the Internet (context, targeting);
3. Design of websites or printed materials;
4. Creation of applications for smartphones;
5. Programming;
6. Consulting services (legal, accounting, marketing, technical, etc.);
7. Promotion of sites, groups, etc.;
8. Article writing (copywriting);
9. And many, many more.

In freelancing, everything is essentially the same, but you do not work as a "studio", but as a private person. You can also do design, advertising, layout, programming, etc. You can even carry out small assignments for which you do not need to have any knowledge. Orders can be received at THIS website.

Innovative business ideas

You will ask me at the end of this article, where did the innovations go? Someone will say that all the ideas above are banal and you want to come up with something of your own, which is not yet on the market, etc. And in a way you are right. Without innovation, the world cannot develop and there must be innovative business ideas, but we started this conversation with the fact that many of you are looking for a business idea on the Internet! Do you really think that someone will put the idea of ​​an innovative business on the net? Then it will no longer be an innovation.

Innovative ideas should also come from people's need for something, and only then the innovator (you) thinks how to solve this problem. And not vice versa: first he finds a business idea on the Internet, and then he “pulls it by the ears” and thinks about what problem it will solve. Do you agree?

Therefore, do not look for innovative and unusual business ideas on the Internet, the maximum that you will get is a waste of time. Follow the news, follow the western projects that have taken off, follow the changes in legislation and think about how you can solve some people's problem or fulfill a need. And you will apply everything unusual, non-standard and innovative from your head in the implementation process. After all, you can take an already operating business, implement it differently and get a completely different product (in fact, it is also new and not standard)!

I don't know what else to say about innovation! This is innovation, where can there be ideas if they have their own in everyone's head. Improve existing projects on the market, and then try to think of 100% innovation.

Conclusion

In conclusion, I would like to sum up. The article turned out to be long, but useful (in my opinion). I do not urge you to listen to my opinion, first to abandon unusual ideas, but to try what is already on the market (only improving), but simply shared my personal opinion, which I have been holding for a long time and so far it has not let me down. Of course, I could have missed a lot of business ideas in the article, but I really hope that you will add in the comments, and I will add to the article. Thanks to those who mastered the article completely;) I hope that it was useful for you. Waiting for comments.

Sincerely, Schmidt Nikolai
