Business with small investments and quick payback. Ideas for business with minimal investment in Russia

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!

Living examples of business with small investments

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

• I opened my first website (a blog) with 1000 rubles in my pocket. Immediately followed by a second one for 500 rubles. Total 1500 rub. After 3 months, both sites began to bring in a total of 3,000 rubles per month, then 5,000 rubles, then 10, and so on until 15,000 rubles. After a year and a half, I sold one of them for a tidy sum, and the second one remained with my partner.
• I opened a website development studio without any investment at all. She also brought me a little 10,000-30,000 rubles a month. But that’s because I had to pay designers and layout designers.
• The service for selling tweets, likes and everything else was opened for 7,000 rubles, paid for itself in 2 days. Brought 40,000 rubles. per month and was sold.
• The blog you are reading now was started with 500 rubles, and now it is also generating income.
• We opened an online store of bags with 80,000 - 100,000 rubles, and recouped the money invested within 2 months, from the moment the goods arrived. From the age of 3 months he was already bringing in clean money and continues to this day.
• Now another interesting project is being prepared, although the investment is larger, but still not millions.

Well, all about myself. What do you want? They thought I was running a business with millions in income. No! I'm a micro-businessman! The assets, of course, are not worth a single million, but this is a matter of time, experience, desire and interest! I’m not bragging, much less there’s nothing to brag about, I just want to show by my example that you can start small!

Now let's move on to others:

• The same “SubWay” that I mentioned above was opened with an initial investment of $1000. It is now a multi-million dollar business with tens of thousands of eateries around the world.
• A friend of mine created several public pages on VK a long time ago, spending only 2000 rubles on advertising. and soon one of them gained popularity to a million subscribers, then more, etc. Income more than 100,000 rubles. clean per month.
• My parents started selling cereals at the street market when I was 5-7 years old, investing some money in the goods. Every year there was more money in circulation, there were more retail outlets, the assortment was expanding and everything was only increasing. Now, of course, they have a staff, they tried other types of business, in general they developed as best they could and continue to develop to this day.
• The founder of the JivoSite service (an online consultant for websites), Timur Valishev, invested 150,000 rubles in it, and now his service has thousands of paying clients.
• The same situation is with almost all the founders of public pages and websites. Little was invested in all of them, but now it brings a lot.

One conclusion can be drawn. Starting a business with minimal investment is more than possible, you just need to want, think and do it!

And here, by the way, is a video interview with Timur Valishev (JivoSite) and Sergei Baryshnikov (Bigpicture site). I advise you to look:

Business idea No. 5. Inexpensive Chinese cosmetics

You buy inexpensive cosmetics in China and sell them in Russia. Such products can be distributed both through social networks, online stores, and by offering them offline (i.e. in person).

Every woman dreams of a large cosmetic bag filled to the brim with decorative cosmetics. But this dream does not always become a reality due to the high prices for such products. You can help with this by offering the product a little cheaper than in stores. Thanks to this, you will have many clients who will want to buy several lipsticks and other products at once.

In order for such a business to generate income, you need to analyze the decorative cosmetics market and select the most popular products. Then compare prices on Chinese and Russian sites.

Business idea No. 7. Organization of non-standard tours

You create an interesting, unique travel itinerary, which differs as much as possible from standard tourist tours, and offer it to the client. He buys a ticket, and you, in turn, deal with all organizational issues and support him throughout the trip.

In addition, you will have to create several interesting tours that are suitable for different segments of the population.

Monthly income depends on the number of vouchers sold, as well as their cost. Therefore, earnings at the beginning of such activities may be unstable.

Business idea No. 8. Makeup, makeup, hairstyle

Business idea No. 9. Santa Claus

The essence of such a business idea is as follows: you are looking for actors who will agree to play the role of fairy-tale characters, developing a script and finding clients who are interested in the service offered. On the specified day, Father Frost visits the children and gives a performance.

Not a single New Year is complete without Father Frost and Snow Maiden. They are invited home, to kindergartens and schools. The demand for New Year's performances is very high and often the actors are not able to provide services to everyone. Therefore, “Santa Claus” is the most profitable business during the New Year holidays.

To implement such an idea, it is necessary to find actors or people with artistic talent, rent costumes, write a script and distribute advertising.

This type of income is seasonal. Profit depends on the number of performances, actors' salaries and other expenses. After the end of the winter holidays, you can continue to collaborate with the staff and perform at children's parties, but as other fairy-tale characters.

In order to organize such a club, you need to register an individual entrepreneur, find a quiet cafe and book a corner table for 10-12 people. After this, purchase 2 copies of the board game “Mafia” and find participants (usually via the Internet). All that remains is to play the game and count the money earned.

The income from organizing a club is quite easy to calculate. On average, participation in such fun costs about 300 rubles, and the number of participants is 12. 8 games are held per month. Hence, monthly earnings are 300*12*8=28,800 rubles.

Business idea No. 17. Bathroom restoration

The essence of the business idea: You, having the necessary materials and tools for bathtub restoration, find a client who is interested in this service. Discuss all the details, sign the contract and complete the order.

Replacing a bathtub is a costly and time-consuming undertaking. Often people either don’t have the opportunity to buy a new one, or don’t want to dismantle the old bathtub. It is for them that there is a top coating restoration service. This saves the family budget and also saves the owner from a lot of problems. Therefore, customers are much more likely to restore bathtubs than to buy new ones.

In order to start working and give a second life to the bathtub, you will have to officially register an individual entrepreneur and choose a restoration method. This determines what tools and materials need to be purchased. After all the acquisitions, all that remains is to conduct an advertising campaign and wait for clients to call.

Business idea No. 22. Sewing clothes for dogs

The essence of the business idea is as follows: Thanks to your cutting and sewing skills, you make clothes for dogs, and grateful owners are happy to purchase them. You can sew both universal models and custom-made ones. Custom tailoring will cost more.

For many dog ​​breeds, clothing is not a whim of the owner, but a necessity. It helps protect your pet from bad weather and prevents hypothermia. Therefore, owners of short-haired dog breeds always buy new clothes for their pets during the cold season. Clothes for dogs are quite expensive due to the specifics of the product. Although there is very little material, the only equipment you need is a sewing machine.

To sew clothes for dogs, you need to have sewing equipment (scissors, threads, needles, etc.), material, a sewing machine, patterns (can be found on the Internet), a desire to work and some free time.

It is not difficult to calculate the approximate profit from 1 product. On average, one suit costs about 2,000 rubles, and the cost of material is 500 rubles. Hence the net income is 1500 rubles.

Business idea No. 23. Handmade

The essence of the business idea: you turn your hobby into a tool for earning money. If you knit, embroider with beads, make products from polymer clay, etc., then such products can be successfully sold.

Handmade is becoming more and more popular every day. Millions of people strive to buy just such products as souvenirs and gifts. This is because each such masterpiece is unique and exclusive. Due to the great demand for such products, exhibitions and fairs of handmade products are held in almost every city.

In order to make a profit from your own masterpieces, you need to purchase the necessary material and manufacture this or that product with high quality. After this, you can post photos of your work on social media. networks, or sell products at various fairs.

Business idea No. 24. Sewing handmade toys

The essence of the business idea: you make soft toys of popular characters and sell finished products. You can sell products both online and in stores, at fairs and exhibitions.

The target audience for which this product is interesting is very diverse. Both children and adults love soft toys. This is the product that is preferred when choosing a gift or souvenir. A distinctive feature of the products is their uniqueness. Thanks to this, handmade toys have earned the love of many people.

To sew a soft toy you will need: a sewing machine, tools and materials. After this, choose the character you will make, find a pattern (on the Internet or a magazine) and proceed directly to its production. Then you choose the method of selling the products.

The cost of the finished product can be calculated using the formula “direct costs + indirect costs x2 = market value” (these are approximate calculations). Direct costs (material) for one product are about 1000 rubles. Indirect – the cost of your time, electricity. Profit is the value of your work.

Business idea No. 25. Furniture for pets

The essence of the business idea is as follows: you analyze the pet furniture market, produce the most popular models and sell them in a way convenient for you. You can make custom furniture at a higher price.

Pet owners want to please their pets in every possible way and therefore buy them this or that furniture. People with average or high incomes buy furniture for dogs. Therefore, they try not to save money. Competition in such a market is minimal, so if you produce high-quality furniture with a beautiful design, then you won’t have to worry about the number of buyers.

To create such a business, you will need to register an individual entrepreneur, familiarize yourself with all the fashion trends in the furniture industry, purchase the necessary materials and tools, and create sketches on the basis of which the furniture will be made. It is important to conduct an advertising campaign and find points of sale for products.

This is a fairly profitable project, because... pays off quickly. If the cost of one piece of furniture is 300-500 rubles, then its market value is 700-2000 rubles. Income exceeds expenses several times.

Conclusion

My conclusion is, as always, positive. Business with minimal investment is possible! Think, start, try. You always need to start small and business is no exception. Moreover, making a business for a million is no easier than for 50,000 rubles. It just seems like there is a lot of money, so everything is simple, but everything has its own difficulties.

For example, I wouldn’t be able to manage entire factories or banks now, I don’t have much experience. Therefore, I will continue to build my small businesses, turn them into medium-sized ones, and then it’s not far from big ones;)

Do you know how to reinstall Windows? Do you know how to install an antivirus in ten minutes and what safe mode is? Can you imagine how to connect a mouse to a computer? No, you are not an administrator yet, but you can become one. It is advisable to have a laptop at hand. And also the effort to place dozens of advertisements on sites ranging from aggregators like Avito to social networks. Yes, you will find clients quickly.

Advantages- zero investment, a large number of potential clients.
Flaws- High density of competition; you really need to understand the topic.

No. 3. Food delivery to offices

This is where your culinary skills will come in handy. With the starting capital (1 thousand rubles) it is quite possible to buy ingredients for a set lunch for 8-10 people - just enough to feed a standard office. Based on 150-180 rubles per serving. Yes. Delivered lunches are not such a high-margin business. But you can fully count on your 25-40 thousand rubles a month. And if you also involve other “culinarians”...

Labor costs- about 4 hours a day depending on the number of orders.
Advantages- there will be clients for sure.
Flaws- it is necessary to conduct a real advertising “campaign” to attract customers in office centers.

No. 4. Photographer for anything

Do you have a good camera and a desire to take photographs? Don't your photos make your friends gag? You can become a photographer! Photo sessions, photo sets, erotic photography, love story, wedding photographer and much more: everything is in your hands. Proficiency in Photoshop is highly desirable! But the work is quite free and multifaceted. It’s better not to cooperate with the media - they pay frankly little. Monthly earnings range from 30 to 150 thousand rubles. You will have to do a lot of self-promotion.

Labor costs- from 1 to 12 hours a day. It all depends on the flow of clients!
Advantages- zero investment.
Flaws- you need to be a real professional in this matter, otherwise dissatisfied clients and competitors will do something bad to you.

No. 5. Husband/wife for an hour

More than 28% of families in Russia are single-parent. Moreover, if women need a strong male shoulder, then men lack comfort in their homes (and cleanliness). This type of business is not prostitution at all (or whatever you are thinking about). But to help women assemble this strange wardrobe not from Ikea, fix the bed, faucet, replace the wallpaper... Or tidy up the apartment of single men. Yes, there really is a demand for such services. The average bill is 1000-1500 rubles. Monthly income can reach 60-70 thousand rubles.

Labor costs- 2-3 hours a day.
Advantages- business without investment.
Flaws- you really need to be able to do something with your hands.

No. 6. Vkontakte community

Do you consider yourself an advertising guru, your posts are liked by friends and strangers, and in an attempt to avoid the flow of news from your feed, your acquaintances unfollow you? Then perhaps you should try yourself as a cool SMM person. Your income (let's look realistically) can range from 10 to 200 thousand rubles per month, depending on the activity of the audience and the number of participants in the group.

Labor costs- 1-10 hours a day.
Advantages- complete absence of investments, flexible schedule.
Flaws- you must be a really cool SMM person.

No. 7. real estate agency in its own right.

Searching for advertisements on city websites and open advertising platforms, a sea of ​​“positive” from clients, the need to get discounts, preferences and the eternal search for buyers or sellers - all this and much more you can get by working as a realtor. Oh yes, dozens of calls are waiting for you. Get ready to be sent. But you will gain enormous experience in direct sales and handling objections.

Labor costs- from 5 to 12 hours a day.
Advantages- you will definitely meet the thousand rubles and learn how to sell. Income per month can be about 30 - 80 thousand rubles.

No. 8: Manicure at home

If you are a girl and are into manicure (or false nails) and have experimented with your friends, then you can be advised to open a beauty salon at home. For a thousand rubles, just buy expensive varnishes from Tiffany and or false nails. Feel like a cosmetologist!

Labor costs- from 3 to 8 hours a day
Advantages- high income. From 20 to 100 thousand rubles per month. It all depends on your skills and working hours.

No. 9 Loaders on call

Everyone always needs strong guys. And really for everyone - from private clients who just want to transport a piano, to small, medium and large companies that periodically or one-time need to lift, move something, and so on.

The second important point is that you don’t have to be a loader yourself. That is why the idea becomes twice as attractive.

First, you look for people who can perform these duties. The good thing is that no one will require special education or a license for such work. With these people, whose informal base can constantly change and be supplemented, you agree on a piece-rate payment option.

At a minimum, the business is ready after this. You simply look for orders and implement them. However, this method will be too superficial and will not bring good income.

It would be better to open an individual entrepreneur and open a current account. After all, if you plan to work with organizations, the invoice will help you avoid difficulties. Firms don’t like cash too much, otherwise there will be somewhere to transfer your payment.

Now, a little about how to search for orders. After all, without orders there is no point in all activities. There are several standard and simplest options:

1. We go to the World Wide Web and look for any organizations in our city. And then we simply call ahead and offer our services right now and for the future. You must leave your contact information. We warn you right away that the exhaust from cold ringing will be small. But it will. On average, 100-200 calls will provide you with one order. And then - progressively. Someone will remember you if necessary, someone will take note.
2. Simple announcements on boards and social networks. You can't go anywhere without this. Let your company's contacts be visible. Usually people do not hesitate to call at the slightest need, if only to find out the price.

Don't forget to think about the price. And before that, monitor the current prices in your city.

Labor costs- about 4-8 hours a day, depending on the number of orders and the success of promotion.
Advantages- There are always orders
Flaws- Low prices

No. 10 SMS informing parents about their children’s school attendance

As they say, a million-dollar idea, but with its own difficulties. And the safety of children is a topic that never ceases to be relevant.

The idea is to install special machines in schools and provide children with cards. When a child comes to and leaves school, he places his card on the machine. The parent immediately receives a notification about this on their phone.

Income is based on subscription fees for using the service. The service itself is completely voluntary and has nothing to do with the regular access system in schools.

The question arises - how to come to an agreement with parents and with the educational institution itself. Actually, it's not that complicated. School management will be interested in installation if two conditions are met. First, equipment for the school will be free. Secondly, at least some parents will support the idea.

It will be possible to reach an agreement with the parents if you immediately explain that this is a voluntary matter. And that no one will take extra from them. Only pay for the SMS messages themselves. In that case, many will agree that being aware of your child’s movements for a small fee is a good idea.

Business will naturally require investments, but, which is very good, small and quickly recouped. So, the equipment itself for one point will cost approximately 20 thousand. One card will cost 30 rubles. Cards can be issued to parents on bail. For example, 100 rubles. But this is precisely a deposit, not a purchase.

Next comes a monthly subscription fee. For example, the same 100 rubles. This will not be affordable, regardless of the family income level. Now a pack of cigarettes costs the same. Only smokers spend 100 rubles a day on this, not a month. One SMS message will cost a few kopecks.

According to statistics, 30 percent of parents perceive the idea very well. But the biggest difficulty is getting them to pay on time and not forget about it.

After launch, you will need to organize your work so that you can respond in a timely manner to changes in parents’ mobile phone numbers to which notifications will be sent. You can also quickly and inexpensively replace lost and broken children’s cards.

After launching in one school, installing equipment in others will be easier, because there will be a good working example. To understand how quickly this type of investment can be repaid, take 1,000 children per school as a point of calculation. This will give you a rough idea of ​​your earnings level.
Advantages- Relevance of the topic
Flaws- Difficult to agree

No. 11Sale of bottled milk

Milk is one of those products for which demand never falls. Even during an unstable economic situation, when prices soar, leaving the income of the population far behind. Therefore, creating a business based on the needs of customers, simplifying the matter with a competitive product, is not too difficult. Moreover, milk, for example, from a barrel, can actually be sold cheaper than bottled milk in any chain hypermarket.

To start, you can purchase a barrel, for example, 500 liters. And these will be the only significant costs. If you are trying to save money, then it is more profitable to consider selling barrels from hand rather than from the manufacturer. In this case, you can spend 50-70 thousand rubles.

This barrel easily clings to the car and is easily transported from place to place. If you do not have a car, you can include someone in the scheme who can transport it by agreeing on a fixed amount for the trip.

The next main step is to find a supplier. This could be any farmer who is not too far away. The scheme of working with him is simple - every morning you take milk from him and make a payment on the spot.

However, it is important to remember here that the milk must be taken to the laboratory for analysis in order for you to be issued a certificate. And when everything is done, the milk and the certificate are in hand, you need to come to a specific point and sell (it would be better to hire a seller).

As for the price, it is quite possible to buy milk from farms at a price of 15-20 rubles per liter. Of course, in particular cases, everything will depend on the volume of goods. You need to sell it a little cheaper than the store price, but not much. Otherwise it will be unprofitable. For example, 30-odd rubles.

What you will need from the documentation:

• Individual entrepreneur registration
• Employment contract with the seller
• Sanitary book for the seller
• Papers about renting a place of trade
• Product certificate

It’s better to rent a place near the market, or get permission from the city administration for a specific location.

Labor costs- about 8 hours a day

Advantages- Demand for the product is constant

Flaws- Lots of permissions required

No. 12 Rent of 4-wheeled bicycles

4-wheeled bicycles, or velomobiles as they are called, are an excellent type of family recreation in any park areas equipped with normal paths. Naturally, such units will not be specially purchased. But, as practice shows, renting is a popular idea. Moreover, one velomobile can accommodate up to 6 people. Therefore, the entertainment is interesting both for a family of several people and for a group of friends.

Park areas, embankments in cities, and recreational areas may be suitable for business. As for the price, on average, a Chinese-made velomobile will cost about 50 thousand rubles. However, there is a cheaper way - to find a craftsman who would make custom-made wheels himself. There is nothing complicated about it. But, of course, you have to look.

For those who have very limited funds, the option of installments or a loan may be suitable.

Once you have decided on a place, you need to understand who owns it. If it does not belong to a specific company or individual, then you will need to obtain permission from the city administration.

The rental price should be based on your costs, but you can’t go too far in this case, otherwise clients simply won’t respond even if they have the desire. For example, 100 rubles for a half hour drive is quite an adequate price for a more or less large city.

When organizing, remember that the client is required to take not only a fee, but also a deposit. Usually this is an identity document. Otherwise, you will quickly lose your “vehicle fleet”. If you want to completely protect yourself from theft, install a special device - a tracker that will show the coordinates of each velomobile.

If the rental is large enough, then it will be more profitable to hire additional staff who will work in shifts.

Labor costs- about 4-6 hours a day

Advantages- Wide audience
Flaws- In large cities there is already high competition + seasonality

#13 Freight transportation without costs

The idea is based on the fact that you do not need your own freight transport. Because you will be working with hired drivers who have their own trucks.

In fact, there are a lot of drivers who could respond to your request. This is due to the fact that searching for customers is not the most pleasant experience and many limit themselves to simply advertising the opportunity to hire themselves with their own transport. Not everyone gets into the advertising jungle either.

How exactly to work with drivers is up to you. The main thing is to agree in advance. Some people prefer piecework based on the number of hours they are employed. Others calculate mileage. It may be easier to set your own percentage. That is, you find a customer and transfer him to a specific driver, who, having completed the work and received the money, gives you the agreed portion.

Finding customers is not as difficult as it seems. There are several common options:

• Calling organizations in your city
• Paper advertisements around the city
• Specialized sites on the Internet

When talking with a client, be sure to fully voice your terms. And when the customer gives his consent, immediately discuss all the details - place, time, cargo itself, additional conditions and wishes, phone numbers and responsible persons.

Even if the client is a “one-time” one, save his contacts, in this way you will ensure that you have your own customer base, to whom you can re-offer your own services and inform about promotions.

Labor costs- full time on the phone

Advantages- Standing orders
Flaws- High density of competition.

No. 14 Sale of berries and fruits from Thailand

At first glance, the idea may seem strange. After all, we have not been living behind the Iron Curtain for a long time. And trips to exotic places, where you can enjoy such things, are not so outrageously unattainable. However, in an era of economic crisis, as statistics show, many people prefer to postpone their vacation until the future. And in fact, a very large percentage of the population does not travel outside our country.

Therefore, organizing a business selling “specific products” from hot countries is a completely feasible task. The main thing here is to find a supplier. The problem is that those who constantly work with the delivery of goods from other countries and can help with the preparation of all documents do not deal with goods in small volumes. And they won’t take on small batches. Therefore, you will have to spend time and effort searching.

Another option is to find a person who will buy goods in a specific country and send it to you by air. Naturally, payment will be negotiable.

The price at which you will sell products in Russia will have to consist of several factors. For example, customs costs, production costs, buyer's fees, and postal interest will be affected. But the most important thing is the time it takes for the product to deteriorate. The smaller it is, the greater the percentage of markup on the price tag you will need to add. Because the loss of part of the goods in such a business is an inevitable fate.

The assortment can be completely diverse, unlike in a store, where you often won’t find anything other than a couple of items. So, you can start selling the following dishes:

• Durian
• Pomelo
• Coconut
• Banana
• Rambutan
• A pineapple
• Darogonfruit
• Mango
• Guava
• Mangosteen
• Jackfruit
• Longkong
• passion fruit
• Chempedak
• Tamarind
• Salak
• Tangerine
• Sapodilla
• Papaya

And this is not a complete list of what is possible. Naturally, over time you will be able to optimize the range depending on the results.
Advantages- Unusuality, the ability to target an audience with a high level of income.
Flaws- Possible difficulties with customs

No. 15 Sale of waste from production and expired products

A strange idea for making money nevertheless has a completely working scheme behind it. The fact is that many food products, when they expire, are simply disposed of. Naturally, factories and companies that have to throw away a product that has not passed the sales stage spend some money on these processes. It is necessary to pay for transportation, disposal itself, and the work of the people involved in this matter. Naturally, it would be more profitable for them to get rid of these expenses if someone took away or bought back such products.

The question is - for what? It's simple. If you take, for example, bread that is already subject to disposal, then you need to keep in mind that it is still suitable. As an option - for cattle feed on numerous farms. The same is true for the confectionery industry.

Therefore, your task is to find a “supplier” of such products. If you go to the factory, you may encounter a refusal. Because, alas, some productions use an expired product, breaking it down into ingredients, which are subsequently mixed into a new fresh batch of the same product.

But, of course, not everyone does this. Therefore, among several plants and factories you will definitely be able to find a supplier.

It is better to start solving the problem with accounting. This is where price approval takes place. It is also possible to agree on payment of a symbolic price on your part. Up to 1 ruble per kilogram of product. But there will definitely be a price tag.

Once a supplier is found, it will not be difficult to find a buyer. A small price for your product will help with this. Start with advertisements on profile portals. You can also visit farms in person to reach an agreement. Over time, regular customers will participate in this scheme.

Labor costs- about 8 hours a day

Advantages- Low cost of goods
Flaws- Graphic density

No. 16 Cosmetic repairs of apartment building entrances

The scheme of this type of business is based on contracts with management companies and housing offices. The fact is that the departments themselves often do not have their own teams of workers who will carry out the orders. And, considering how many houses even in small towns need to be monitored, the work is ongoing. The housing office is likely to turn to hired teams. This is the kind of hired brigade that you will have to assemble that is ready to take on orders. And this will be the first step.

Finding a person who can perform certain construction and repair work will not be difficult. If you don’t have such friends among your friends, look for advertisements, there are a lot of them now. To begin with, a small staff of 2-3 people will be enough.

The second step is to determine the price of the work. It is better if your team includes a builder or repairman who already knows the value of his employment. This way, when communicating with a potential customer, you can immediately announce the price tags. This is important so that the client does not “fly off”. If difficulties arise with this, contact construction companies. They usually provide consultations for free.

After this, all that remains is to find the housing office that needs a brigade and discuss the conditions with it. It is important to enter into a contract once the terms have been agreed upon so that you can receive payment. Part of the funds will go to pay your team, and part will go to you.

As an addition to this business or its expansion, you can make money by transporting and delivering building materials.

Labor costs- Constant communication in person and by phone
Advantages- Standing orders
Flaws- Competition and bureaucracy

No. 17 Dry fog as a remedy for odors

Dry fog is so named because the device that is used to eliminate odors splashes out a special air suspension that looks exactly like fog. In fact, the mixture has a special composition that is sprayed in the form of microscopic crystals. They are able to penetrate even the smallest holes and gaps, simultaneously absorbing any odors.

The dry fog sprayer is not bulky at all. Like a vacuum cleaner, it can be carried with one hand. The cost of such a unit varies between 20-30 thousand rubles.

In addition to the device itself, as a consumable, you will need to purchase the liquid itself, from which the “miracle machine” will generate fog. The cost of one bottle is about 100 rubles. It is enough for about 1 whole car, if you need to remove the smell from the car.

The odor removal procedure takes about forty minutes. In experienced hands - even less. Dry mist can deal with many odors. For example, it calmly removes the old smell of tobacco in the cabin. According to statistics, you don’t have to think about the appearance of this smell after the procedure for at least a whole month.

When building a business, you don’t need to inflate the price tag for the procedure, this way you will get more clients. 500 rubles at a time will be quite enough. The main thing to remember is that in order to achieve the effect, you must first remove the object that is the source of the smell. So, if it is a spoiled, rotten product, then you first need to remove it, and then begin the cleaning procedure.

Another important detail is the raid. It can form when a mist suspension settles. Therefore, you should remember safety precautions when covering important elements with film.

Prices for services are usually based on area. The larger the room where you want to remove the smell, the higher the price tag for the procedure.

Advantages- Low competition
Flaws- Difficult search for clients

No. 18 Sale of waste from livestock farms

We have already discussed the possibility of making money by selling expired products from food production to farmers. But from these same farmers you can also find goods for subsequent sale to another buyer.

We are talking about animal waste products from farms. They are usually stored close to the farm itself. Of course, there are those who do the export and sale themselves, but not everyone can devote the time.

In order to transport waste from the “supplier” to the customer, you will first need a suitable truck. There are several options here. Firstly, in the village located next to the farm there may be a suitable vehicle. And together with the driver. And given that in villages the income level is usually lower than in the city, payment can be easily negotiated.

Secondly, you can buy a car yourself. Moreover, a supported one is best suited. Because you will be transporting manure and because there is no point in spending large sums on a new car from the very beginning of the business.

After the issue with the vehicle is resolved, you will need to negotiate directly with the farmer, who always has the goods in stock. And since without such offers the farmer has to remove the waste himself, it will not be difficult to come to an agreement with him.

The further stage of setting up the business is associated with the workers who will load the “material” into the machine. Again, it is worth hiring people, either living in a nearby village, or the farm workers themselves.

The last step is to find a buyer. Such waste is good as fertilizer for plants. Therefore, the main audience to target is the owners of crop farms and summer residents. In the second case, you can park a car with manure on the necessary days directly at the entrance to the dacha communities. Then the clients themselves will ask you about the cost of the manure you sell. Or you can use standard methods - posting advertisements and the Internet.

According to statistics, the cost of one manure truck varies between 2000 rubles. In successful cases, more than one truck of manure can be sold in a day.

Labor costs- Full time work

Advantages- There are always suppliers
Flaws- "Dirty job

No. 19 Meeting people during quests

This idea combines two popular services among people. Quest rooms are currently a popular entertainment and dating service, which, judging by numerous dating sites, will never lose popularity.

The gaming environment and new sensations always encourage closer cooperation even between complete strangers. Therefore, the idea deserves attention. Naturally, the search for potential clients in this case is primarily carried out via the Internet. And even if, during the process of playing the game in real time, people did not have the opportunity to find a partner, a good time will not leave them in a bad mood. Clients will still be happy.

Advantages- Combination of two popular ideas
Flaws- Competition

No. 20 Advertising on your own windows

We have all become accustomed to seeing advertising everywhere - from newspapers to street advertisements on banners and even simple poles. Advertising today is the engine of any business and advertisers are constantly looking for new effective platforms. This means that finding a client among those who need to place their advertisement is a matter of time and desire.

Recently, the idea of ​​offering advertising space on your own windows and balconies of residential buildings has begun to develop. If you are a person who is ready to sacrifice your “glass” or space on the facade for the sake of earning money, then you should think about this method.

There is no point in describing how to find a client; first of all, you need to be able to offer and not be afraid to communicate. But for those who lack such skills, there is an easier way to unobtrusively sell their place. You can organize a small billboard where, before an advertisement from a specific company or person appears, your inscription about the sale of this very advertising space will hang.

It all depends on your creativity. Alternatively, you can write popular words: “your advertisement may be here.” And it’s natural to add a telephone number under this slogan. In this case, there is a high probability that the client will find you himself. Especially if the place you are offering is really well suited, that is, it is viewed from the outside and will be visible to a large number of people.

Labor costs- Almost not

Advantages- Passive income
Flaws- You will have to sacrifice your windows or facade

Freedom of action and the opportunity to create something new, manage your own business, realize your creative potential and make decent money - a reality that is available only to business owners. Lack of experience and start-up capital stops most entrepreneurs at the beginning of their journey.

Not everyone can borrow money from relatives, friends or from a bank; not everyone has accumulated funds. What to do? Thanks to business ideas with minimal investment, you can open your own business without initial capital, earn money from scratch and save money to realize big goals.

Removal of Christmas trees

Live Christmas trees and pine trees are thrown away after the holidays. Or you can organize your own business and collect trees, providing people with services for removing New Year's beauties.

For example, starting your own business without investing financial resources and without having knowledge is possible. However, you will still have to invest some resources, these could be:

• Time is of the essence, because how can you create something without putting in the effort and enough hours to implement your plan.
• Strength is your personal resource, expressed in attention, nerves, contacts with people, discipline, performing similar tasks and routine.
• Intellectual resources - this includes your previously acquired education, skills, etc., in which time, effort, money were essentially also invested, but for a different purpose.

But in reality, it's not all that scary. There are many ways to start a business from scratch - ideas without investment ( or with minimal investment) are numerous and varied. Therefore, there is a chance to try yourself in many areas.

Most people's problems who believe that business without investments and from scratch is impossible, are as follows:

1. They don't fully understand what business is. Entrepreneurship, at its core, is the idea of ​​how to make money out of practically nothing. True entrepreneurs find contact with people, clients, so-called “leads”.
2. They are trying to separate business from the so-called “handicraft”. At first glance, this distinction seems reasonable, but handicraft is the initial stage of any business process. In theory, it simply lacks scaling.
3. They exaggerate the resources needed. As a rule, they begin to calculate the cost of renting an office, purchasing goods, when you can start reselling products without this, being in a simpler sense - agent.

One way or another, there are hundreds of different ideas for business without investment. It is enough to take the first step and choose what is closest to your liking.

How to find a business idea without investment - says Ramit Sethi and 5 steps from Business Insider

There are a lot of recipes and manuals dedicated to this topic, but few of them really work. Therefore, it is better to immediately focus on the advice of participants in the Forbes rating and the like. These people have achieved considerable heights in their field and this in itself can be a good assessment of their recommendations. For example, here are 5 simple tips from the famous CEO Ramita Sethi:

1. Don't try to be revolutionary. You don't have to come up with the next Amazon or Paypal or LinkedIn. In fact, it's best to start with what you know and can do well. The main thing is to figure out how to apply it and make it interesting for others.
2. Find out what you are paying others for. We already pay people to do a lot of different things. Is it possible to turn one of these things into your own business? Absolutely yes. You just need to find that very zest that will allow you to stand out from the total number of competitors and attract the audience.
3. Conduct an “audit” of your knowledge, skills and abilities. The best way is to take a landscape sheet, divide it into two columns and in one of them list all your skills and abilities, and in the other, give possible options for using them. Examples: fluency in a foreign language, knowledge of programming, cooking skills, etc.
4. Determine how you are useful to your friends and family (in their opinion). This point can be incredibly revealing. Examples: effective help with sports training, relationship advice, great fashion sense, etc. If it helps your friends and family, it will probably help other people too.
5. Keep track of what you devote your free time to. It can also be incredibly revealing. After all, the hobbies you spend your time on can be beneficial. Examples: browsing fashion websites, fixing and maintaining a car, playing sports, etc.

Ramit Sethi claims that it is enough to devote 10-20 minutes a day to studying each of the points listed above and very soon your head will simply be bursting with potential business ideas.

Any other thoughts? If the previous tips did not give the desired result, you can use the manual from the editors of a well-known Western publication Business Insider. Their recipe looks like this:

• Step 1 - Brainstorm ideas. It is better to do this not on your own, but in a company. You can just get together with friends over a glass of beer and discuss what kind of business would be nice to start. It is in such an environment that the most unusual and “catchy” concepts are most often born.
• Step 2 - Think about the things that interest you first. This will at least narrow down your choices in certain industries, services, products, etc. Or at least you won't think about those areas that have nothing to do with your interests.
• Step 3 - Think about what society needs now. What services, products, or combination thereof are missing or poorly made today? What problems or inconveniences do you yourself encounter in your daily life, at work, on vacation or while traveling? If such moments are found, you need to figure out how they could be corrected.
• Step 4 - Check out the current trends. New ideas, niches and opportunities are constantly being formed. Are there ways to profit from them while they are still new and not too well known? Of course, some of them will be risky, but it is the pioneers who often reap the rewards. Trends provide opportunities to find great business ideas in a field where there are no strong competitors yet.
• Step 5 - Constantly learn from other people. Read books, articles, and other materials, and study success stories of business people you admire. By exploring their approaches to developing and implementing business ideas, you can find a lot of inspiration and useful information for yourself.

These seemingly simple tips will help direct your mind to the search for business ideas that have good potential for implementation.

Business ideas without investment - 12 interesting opportunities

Business ideas for beginners without investment (or, more accurately, almost without investment) really exist. You can start a business with very little money and, with the right combination of skills and marketing know-how, make good money.

Business Idea #1. Resell something

At least, this is the idea promoted Chris Gillebeau, bestselling author of Startup for 100 dollars" According to him, the top working and current ideas for business without investments (up to $100) are simple resale of goods. The product market is constantly updated with new products, so you can always bet on it. For entrepreneurs starting almost from scratch, the main way is dropshipping(direct delivery).

Its essence lies in setting up an online store or selling page on social networks, filling a virtual showcase with goods from partner stores, searching for potential customers and directly accepting and redirecting orders. Simply put dropshipping- this is mediation between the client and the final sender of the goods.

Where can I get the goods?

Today, a real bonanza for enterprising people is. Here, every now and then, a lot of interesting new products appear that can become the basis for a small business from scratch. The fact that Chinese goods are rubbish is nothing more than a myth. Today in the Middle Kingdom you can buy goods of excellent quality and make decent money on it. And in order to enter this business you don’t even need large investments. Working in the form of dropshipping, you can do without purchasing huge quantities of goods and the costs associated with their storage and transportation.

Business idea from scratch and without investment #2. Hotel for cats

If the family goes to sea, who should they leave their pet with? Conventional pet hotels usually have high prices and unimportant conditions, such as cages and poor attention and care. You can offer to place animals in your apartment, and you don’t have to spend anything on anything - the owners pay for food, bring trays and bowls for their pets, all you need is love and attention to bored cats.

Why not dogs? Dogs require walking; in addition, they are larger and need more space. Dogs in unfamiliar surroundings can be dangerous. These are additional complications, although such services may be more expensive.

Business idea #3. Cleaning

Of course, in this case we are not talking about grabbing a mop and using it yourself - there are plenty of ready-made vacancies in this area. Professional cleaning of offices and private homes is a profitable business direction that can be mastered with minimal starting savings. A good example is the story of one of the richest women in America Carrie H. Johnson, who, after divorcing her husband and moving to rented housing, was forced to take up this not the most attractive job. To support herself, she gathered several of her friends in misfortune and began cleaning, advertising her services via the Internet. Over time, the business progressed, the staff under her leadership expanded to 165 people, and the total income from the business began to amount to millions.

Idea #4. Creating text content for websites and blogs

- there is a constant demand for new texts. This business is successfully run by some people and their example is contagious. First, you need to register on copywriting exchanges, where you can sell your articles. The largest and most profitable of them are:

Of course, you shouldn’t write texts yourself. Some sellers have more than 1,000 articles in their windows, which is physically impossible for one person to write in a short time. On the same exchange you can find a copywriter who will write texts at an inexpensive price. You will give him orders to write articles, for example 50 articles on the topic of home renovation. After that, you just need to put these articles up for sale on your account, but not much more expensive. The more articles you offer for sale, the more sales you will get.

Business idea from scratch #5. Aerodesign

Aerodesign refers to the decoration of rooms with balloons. Many people think that starting such a business requires capital, but this is not a necessary condition. You can take an advance payment from the first client, buy a hand pump and balls, complete the order, and then buy more of what you need.

From 20 orders per month you can receive approximately 25,000 rubles in net profit, taking into account expenses. Expansion is possible, but depends on the scale of the city; in large cities there are naturally more orders.

The idea has many advantages, because at the initial stage you don’t need practically anything except a pump and balls purchased with an advance payment. In the future, you will need to purchase additional equipment and, in the future, rent a warehouse. In general, aero design has been in demand for many years, but the niche can be quite competitive due to the low barrier to entry.

Idea #6. Apartment and house renovation team

If you understand building materials, then this is a good business without investment, because you don’t need much at all. You need to decide on your direction - cosmetic renovation, major, luxury, etc. Assemble a team of 2-4 people, advertise and send them to sites. You will need to take orders, negotiate prices and materials, and supervise workers. But the only investment you will need is your skills, since your workers may own the tools, and clients will pay for the materials and work. Of course, these are the initial stages. When you can take more orders than one team can handle, you can hire new people, purchase tools, provide training, and so on.

The advantages are obvious: you don’t need almost any investment, and you can charge a decent amount of money for services, depending on the complexity of the work. However, not everyone has enough skills and predisposition to do this, but success in this niche is real. We have repeatedly seen examples in practice of how a self-taught builder without education achieved an income of over 150-200,000 per month in a similar business.

Idea #7. Making cakes to order

At first glance, custom cakes seem like an unpromising business idea, but in reality, the potential income in this niche is very high. People often spend their holidays trying to wow guests with culinary art.

As you know, in the grocery business, markups can be over 500%.

The essence of the idea: make several cakes and carefully photograph them and shoot a video for your portfolio; you post ads on Avito, create a page on social networks, you can add a small landing page and advertising on social networks. networks if possible; contact customers and take orders.

At first, the profit can be 5,000 rubles per month, but with the appearance of regular customers or recommendations from them, you can reach up to 20,000 rubles per month in small cities, and in larger cities - up to 100,000 rubles.

There are many advantages to this niche. The main misconception lies in the low income potential, but just look at what people like Renat Agzamov. His services are in demand and the price is appropriate, because Renat designs cakes for weddings and banquets of celebrities, even in other countries.

Business idea #8. Vlogs

Example: if a person is in excellent physical shape, he can create a channel dedicated to sports training and proper nutrition. An ultra-gamer can make professional streams and reviews of top-grossing games.

Famous gamer PewDiePie, for example, makes ~4 million dollars on his channel.

For many, this can be a great business idea without investment. All you need is to record and voice-over how you play on the computer, install programs, comment on events, and so on.

Idea #9. Industrial alpinism

Relevant and profitable, of course, for those who already have at least some skills and basic equipment. The essence of the work is obvious - cosmetic care for the facades of multi-story buildings. Specialists of this kind are valuable personnel, so by showing skill and hard work, you can make a good fortune. Moreover, the business has the potential to expand (take on several smart assistants and increase your client base). You can promote your business on the Internet or by leaving business cards where such services will be in demand.

Idea #10. Horticultural service

Providing a gardening service may seem like a strange idea to many, but they will be surprised to learn that most of the beautiful lawns and flower beds in front of offices, shopping centers and other buildings are the work of professional gardeners. You can start with a minimum set of equipment (everything for work, plus car rental if you don’t have your own transport).

Idea #11. Courier services

Courier services are great for beginners because this business is very easy to start without investment. You need to hire several assistants who will run errands, and also set up a place where you can take orders. You can do this even at home, if you have a computer with the Internet and a telephone.

Business idea from scratch #12. Launching a commercial website or blog

Despite the huge number of websites and personal blogs, they are a profitable business. According to estimates, up to 85% of sites do not bring profit to their owners and are no longer supported by them within the first year of existence. After all, a commercial blog is not entertainment, but hard work, which also requires time and effort. Most bloggers are unable to earn significant money because they do not view their activity as a business.

Bringing real income? The recipe for success looks something like this:

1. Decide on a way to earn money (advertising, promotion of real goods, etc.);
2. Choose a theme that gives maximum user conversion;
3. Create a website yourself or with the help of professionals;
4. Write interesting texts about products, add images and promote the site in search engines.

If you wish, you can get by with minimal costs. To create a website, it is better to use one of the free platforms (WordPress, Joomla). At first, you can write articles yourself. With the right approach, you can receive visitors from Google and Yandex, as well as from social networks.

There are a lot of business ideas with average investments, so to narrow your search you can focus on the latest top from European Business Association:

Business idea with low investment #1. Computer Training Classes

Starting computer training classes, giving people basic (or professional) skills in using office and graphics programs is not the easiest to implement, but it is a fairly promising business idea with little investment.

You may want to rent a cheap space, as a study space may not be as important as a clothing store or cafe. The computers you can buy are not new or the latest models. The same applies to furniture.

Business idea #2. Launch of a mini cafe for gourmets

If there is a large target audience (ideally a city with a population of 100K or more residents), an influx of interested clients is guaranteed. A mini gourmet cafe is not a new concept, but it is still a great home business. If you love and know how to cook for your large family, then you can turn this love into a small business.

In order to get started, you just need to invite your loved ones, friends and acquaintances to dinner, tell them about your plans, letting them try all sorts of interesting wonders of your own production (original cuisine, diet food, etc.). Having tested the waters, you can open an establishment and advertise on social networks. Ideally, if there is some kind of residential or non-residential property within the city that can be equipped for an establishment (if desired, an old garage will also be suitable for a cafe).

Idea #3. Production of protective packaging materials

Commodity production is thriving in the world, and therefore such consumables as protective packaging materials will always be needed. With the advent of e-commerce, the demand for protective packaging materials (thermoplastic sheets, bubble wrap, etc.) has increased significantly. The process of their manufacture is quite simple and is done using automated technology. The cost of equipment (if you take low-power models or used equipment) can vary between $3000–5000, and it can even be placed in a garage or a non-residential room of a private house.

The advantages of this business are that the product has a very long shelf life, so you can quickly find the most profitable distribution channels.

Business idea with low investment #4. Manufacturing of jute bags

Considering the steady global trend towards abandoning polyethylene and switching to materials of natural origin, the production of jute bags is becoming a very relevant type of business.

Jute bag manufacturing can also be considered as a low investment manufacturing business. Even a relatively small start-up capital is enough to launch a small production right at home with 2 or 3 assistants. The process of making jute bags is very simple. In this business two machines are needed: one for jute cutting and one for sewing.

Equipment can be purchased for a minimum amount of 3–4 thousand dollars. You will also need to buy some raw materials to launch the line and carry out minimal marketing activities.

Idea #5. Healthy tourism

Healthy tourism is a good help for business if there are recreational areas or interesting natural attractions within close proximity. Currently, this is one of the most popular ideas for business in the service sector with average investment.

To get started, you need to study your region for promising destinations for healthy tourism, develop a program of recreation and entertainment, provide transportation and food (as well as overnight accommodation if we are talking about longer tours). Naturally, good advertising will be required.

By organizing short day tours, you can get by with a relatively small investment. An amount of $1000–5000 is quite enough to organize the delivery of people, leisure, food, and also pay for the work of hired assistants.

Idea #6. Trip planning

Travel agencies usually charge three bucks for such extended packages, which provides a good field for small entrepreneurs to operate. With organizational skills and the ability to negotiate profitable deals, you can start planning trips for other people who do not want to overpay agencies and do not have the time to do it themselves.

You can set up an office right at home. You will also need assistants who will take on some of the work themselves.

5 interesting Business Ideas without investment in rural areas

Ideas for business without investment in rural areas remain relevant today and every resident of a suburb or village can try to implement them. It must be said right away that such serious areas as livestock breeding, large-scale poultry farming or farming are activities that require significant investment. Only modern, highly productive automated production can compete with foreign producers of agricultural products. We are talking about millions of investments here. However, there are also ideas for business in the village without investment. So it’s quite possible to try to develop in this direction.

Rural business idea #1. Breeding quails at home

Quail is the choice of many entrepreneurs who are thinking about opening a small poultry farm. Quails are excellent layers, and their eggs and meat are a sought-after food product. At the same time, they consume relatively little food and can be housed compactly. Therefore, the business has potential. However, it also has its “bottlenecks”. First of all this:

• product sales channels;
• maintaining business operations during the cold season;
• correct legal form.

We must not forget that the goal of any business is to obtain consistently high profits. Quail breeding is no exception. If we are talking about simple seasonal rearing of a brood in order to provide ourselves with eggs and meat, as well as sell the surplus to our closest friends, this is one thing. There are practically no problems here at all, but we are also not talking about serious profits. If you organize everything as a business, you need to prepare for a serious investment of time and effort (as well as considerable cash injections). The amount of costs depends on the existing material base. The main cost items consist of arranging premises for breeding quails, as well as providing them with feed.

Village business idea #2. Making decorative flower pots

Another option for a business idea in a village without investment is the creation of decorative products, for example, flowerpots. As a rule, at the dacha there are opportunities to set up a small workshop, and materials for the initial stages are needed to a minimum.

The essence of the idea:

1. We organize a small workshop, look for available materials (wood, ceramics, clay), if necessary, purchase some of the materials for minimal money;
2. We create several beautiful flowerpots for the display (tutorial videos can be found on YouTube);
3. We post photos on social networks, Avito, if possible on the roadway and in other sources;
4. We sell goods, make a profit, usually no more than 10,000 - 15,000 rubles per month in the first years.

The advantage of the idea is that you can do manufacturing in your free time, calmly combining your main job and a similar hobby.

Idea #3. Growing oyster mushrooms at home

Despite the many curses from those who failed, growing oyster mushrooms remains one of the most profitable types of agricultural activity. However, you can do it in a small town (the ideas are easily adapted to any conditions) and in the suburbs, but it’s easiest to develop on your own square meters outside the city.

The advantages of this business are the simplicity and accessibility of the technology, as well as the demand for the final product, which makes it easy to resolve implementation issues. What are the costs of growing oyster mushrooms? Considering that the most productive method of cultivation will be intensive, for this you will need:

• room for preparing the substrate (straw, sawdust, wood chips, sunflower husks and other plant materials);
• room for pasteurization of blocks;
• dark incubation room (here it is necessary to maintain a temperature of 18–22°C);
• room for fruiting (necessary conditions: temperature 12–15°C and humidity 80–90%, presence of artificial lighting).

In addition, you cannot do without such equipment as:

• pasteurization container;
• straw chopper (although for small volumes you can do this manually);
• consumables (bags, ropes, containers for mushrooms, etc.).

The minimum for payback is 6–8 bags. The harvest from them will be enough to cover the costs. Having tried to sell the first batches of mushrooms, you can at the same time test the local market. If the demand is good and logistics do not require special costs, it makes sense to increase production and slowly register. There is another option - to establish a cycle of cultivation and processing (canning, pickling, mushroom powder, etc.). But this already goes beyond the scope of business without investment.

Business idea without investment #4. Breeding worms

Many people have probably thought about such a non-standard business as worm breeding. And not at all in vain. And although raising such animals is unlikely to cause anyone great delight, this business can turn out to be very profitable. After all, opening a mini-farm for breeding worms at home does not require cash injections, but pays off very quickly.

Profit can be received from the following directions:

• selling the worms themselves as bait for fishing;
• sale of vermicompost.

The latter is an expensive fertilizer that is used in floriculture and organic farming. Worms do not need special conditions for life. They feed on hay or fallen leaves, as well as food waste (in general, everything that any village farmstead has in abundance). Other conditions are temperature +15…+20°C and air humidity around 80%. In general, the conditions of a typical rural basement. Unless in winter you will need to warm it up a little. Therefore, having a hundred or more evergreens for expenses, you can provide your pets with quite comfortable living conditions.

Idea #5. Growing flowers/seedlings

A business in growing and selling flowers and seedlings at minimal cost is quite capable of bringing in so much money that it will be enough to provide a comfortable life for yourself and your family. Flowers are a product that is in demand at any time of the year, and good seedlings of vegetable crops bring super profits during the hot season.

How to start this business with minimal costs? Having a country house greatly simplifies the task. In this case, there is no need to rent a room - you can grow in a specially equipped room. There is one more saving point, if this is a family business - you will be able to do without hired labor. Thus, the costs are reduced only to the purchase of seeds, material for equipping shelving, plastic film (to protect the walls of the room from moisture) and lamps. The total price of the issue is 3–5 hundred dollars (lighting will “eat up” most of the budget). Quite a reasonable amount that will pay off after the first cycle.

This business also has potential for expansion. If you can find good sales channels, you can legalize your activities, build a heated greenhouse, hire workers and start a small enterprise. And if you complement this with your own flower shop, where bouquets already decorated by a professional florist will be sold, your profit will increase significantly.

10 Business ideas without investment for Women

Even the most motivated women often hesitate to realize their entrepreneurial ambitions, believing that it is better to leave financial matters to their significant other. And this is an unforgivable mistake. After all, doing business can give a woman not only more independence, but also a solid basis for the free realization of herself as an individual. Moreover, there are promising business ideas without investment for women that can be launched without interrupting family affairs.

How women can find successful business ideas from scratch

• Looking for a little extra income. In this case, you can do without an additional business plan and investments. The main direction is cosmetics, gifts, time sharing, production of hand-made jewelry, etc.
• Replacing a job that doesn't allow time for childcare. If your main motivation is to have more time for your family, you need to choose a business that allows you to work on a flexible schedule. The simplest example is any work that can be done while sitting at a computer.

You can start a cooperative or a non-profit organization. It’s labor-intensive at first, but useful over time (largely due to the creation of a reputation and weight in society).
• Contributing to the development of society. If the main motivation is personal satisfaction, and money is a secondary goal, you can try yourself in cooperation with various volunteer and non-profit organizations. At first there will be no profit, but in return you can acquire personal contacts and communication skills with a wide variety of groups of people. And this is a very solid bonus that will be useful when creating your own business in the future.
• Money and only money. For those whose goal is financial independence, it is better to immediately focus on practical aspects and, in general, on everything that can bring money.

Here are some of the best no-investment small business ideas for women, according to a business publication Entrepreneur:

Idea for women #1. Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing involves promoting the products and services of other companies and earning commissions. The idea is simple - you need to choose a product, advertise and sell it, receiving a percentage of each sale. This business becomes especially effective if you have your own blog or a promoted page on social networks. Many companies develop special status systems for their most successful partners, so if things go well, such a part-time job can easily be turned into an official source of income.

Business idea for women #2. Tester or reviewer

Manufacturers of various products often look for people to promote their products in order to entice others to buy. A separate format for such promotion is reviews and testimonials from famous bloggers and media persons. Typically, such offers are received by owners of well-promoted websites, video blogs and social media accounts. In the long term, this type of income will allow you to earn amounts of five and six figures.

Idea #3. Home nursery

Nannies, especially those who are capable and responsible, are in fantastic demand. Therefore, there should be no problem in getting the business started quickly and rapidly. Babysitting is a great approach to making money. Especially if you base this business on a home base. Preschools are rapidly growing in popularity. Today's competitive world places great demand on a quality educational environment from a very early age. In addition, legally registering a business is not so difficult.

For a long time, grandparents were de facto nannies for the children of working parents, performing all the functions of education and care. But now parents want their children to learn social interaction and teamwork almost from the cradle. And a nursery is an ideal way to fulfill this need in a cozy home environment.

Idea #4. Homemade jams and condiments

Canned condiments, pickles, sauces and jams are very popular among some categories of consumers. These products are profitable to produce for several reasons.

• Firstly, they store well.
• Secondly, their production does not require high start-up costs.
• Thirdly, here you can realize any culinary fantasies, and unusual combinations of tastes and colors are always exclusive, which will allow you to gain an advantage over your competitors.

At first, you can simply give away your products to relatives, friends and acquaintances, asking them and assessing their reaction. and if the business begins to pay off, proceed to formalize the business.

Idea #5. Handmade accessories (costume jewelry, jewelry)

People always have a desire to decorate themselves with bright and colorful handmade accessories. You can do anything - from earrings, bracelets and necklaces to phone cases. The main thing is a fresh look, artistic taste and the ability to catch a trend. It doesn’t matter in a village or a city, you can try to master this business and become the founder of a home brand in any conditions and with minimal costs.

Idea #6. Family planning consultations

Do you adore children? Then perhaps helping with family planning is your calling. The consultant's responsibilities include communicating with newlyweds and couples expecting children. Also, many new mothers need advice and examples on initial baby care and breastfeeding. Every experienced mother who has raised one or more children probably has a lot of valuable information about the pitfalls, pitfalls and life hacks associated with raising children. And this knowledge, with proper skill, can easily be converted into a valuable information product.

Idea #7. Baking cakes

Do you love to cook and are good with baking? Do you have a special recipe for a miracle cake that will make everyone lick their fingers? Then what's stopping you from turning your passion into a business? The possibilities are endless: birthdays, children's parties, weddings, friendly parties, etc. At first, you can get by with the baking itself. And if business goes well, it’s easy to expand it by creating your own commercial blog or recording paid courses for beginner cooks. Of course, the latter will require additional costs (web development, SEO promotion, professional filming and editing of material may require ~$1000–5000 investment), but saving the required amount by that time will not be a problem.

Idea #8. Home hair salon

Do you have hairdressing, makeup, or manicure skills? Why not develop them to a professional level and turn them into a business. Who wants to waste time traveling to salons and worrying about the cleanliness of unfamiliar masters, if you can make an appointment at a convenient time with a trusted person. In addition, by improving your qualifications, you can turn this activity into a real art, and a small part-time job into a licensed mini-salon.

Idea #9. Organization of exclusive and children's parties

A good idea for a business from scratch, because this category includes not only children's parties, it can also include weddings. It often happens that a girl helped her friend organize a wedding and delved into all the nuances of the process, after which, through word of mouth, she began to help several more acquaintances. As a result, I decided to organize a full-fledged business for decorating and organizing holidays.

It is important that you already have at least minimal experience in organizing festive events for 50 people or more (weddings, corporate events).

Over time, you will have stable partnerships and regular sources of clients, which will take your business to a new level and a comfortable income.

Idea #10. Making jewelry from polymer clay

This option is quite creative, so it is important to have at least some artistic talent. In addition, you need a minimum investment of around 4,000 rubles, plus you will need an electric oven.

In theory, the investments are very small and relate to a hobby; when combined with work, they can easily be pulled out, so this business idea fully meets the requirements.

There are many advantages. At a minimum, you can enjoy creating jewelry, make them in your free time, and receive significant bonuses for yourself from sales. There are also no restrictions on promotion, since you can open a full-fledged online store in the future, which will turn into a kind of home business and a great idea for women without investment.

Important note: in general, working with polymer clay is quite toxic when baked. There are two options: either constantly wash the oven after baking decorations, or buy another inexpensive one.

Business problems without investment

As in other types of business, when choosing the path “from scratch” and without capital, there are some nuances and features.

"It doesn't matter how slowly you walk, what matters is

that you don't stop."

Confucius

Sooner or later, every person thinks about starting their own business. However, only a third proceed from reflection to active action, and no more than 5–10% bring the matter to a successful conclusion. What's stopping them?

Problem #1. The value of an idea

It is the value of an idea that can turn any small business into a unique brand with its own “zest.” A fresh idea and original presentation turn people first into fans and then into loyal customers. What are your core values? Why do you do your job? If you have not yet discovered the answers to these questions, it may be time to finish with the theoretical part and start taking action.

Problem #2. Personality-oriented

The most successful business brands are those that are the most human. This happens because people do not like faceless corporations and are willing to buy from other people. Once again: people buy from people. A small business founder always has one advantage over giant corporations. When he works alone or with a small team of employees and colleagues, he can afford to be more human in his interactions with his clients, addressing them personally and addressing all their concerns.

Where in your business processes can you add more personalized touch to make your brand a living image, not just a logo on a website? We need to think about this issue and solve it.

Problem #3. Creating Great Customer Relationships

Strong businessmen build quality relationships with clients. And they care about these relationships. Faceless monopoly corporations can afford to have a callous attitude towards people, taking advantage of their position. For small businesses, this approach is unacceptable. Only by creating individual relationships with customers and taking care of these relationships can you build a loyal customer base that will grow.

Of course, this doesn't mean you should give everyone free beer (although that might be a good move). Strong relationships grow from small things like birthday wishes, anniversary bonuses, etc.

Problem #4. Quick adaptation to changes

What doesn't develop dies. This is the law of nature. All living organisms are constantly in a state of change and adaptation. And adaptability is paramount for young brands. Moreover, the best brands develop not only in accordance with their goals, but also in response to the times, general business sentiment and changes in their industry.

Are there things that have changed in the industry recently? You need to make a list of them, and also come up with ways to adapt to these changes, increasing your productivity. It is also very important to follow local and global trends.

It is important to decide:

• There are always investments, if it’s not money, then it’s time and effort. This is true, even if you find a niche where start-up capital is not required, you will definitely need to spend effort and time on promoting the project. Such costs are theoretically equivalent to money, they are simply in a different form at the moment.
• High competition. With a low start without capital, there will always be dozens of people who decided to try the same thing. As a result, competitors will definitely find it difficult, almost impossible to find a niche with a small threshold for entry and lack of competition.
• It's easier to sell services than goods. This problem has always existed in this area of ​​business, because to provide services there is no need to purchase goods for resale. Today, this line is blurred, since there is such a direction as traffic arbitrage and dropshipping. In it you can sell goods without having them in your hands.
• The start begins with the so-called “handicraft” and even part-time jobs with an income of 5,000 - 10,000 rubles per month, but this is also a small business. There is no such thing that you will immediately start earning hundreds of thousands of rubles without investing. The path from the very bottom is quite long and difficult.
• In small towns and villages, it is easier to open your own business without investment, but the income is corresponding. The main problem of small cities is the poor scalability of business projects, since there are restrictions on the number of people. Ideally, you need to open a business delivering goods throughout the country, but located in a small town - this is very profitable.

We can sincerely congratulate every aspiring entrepreneur. Starting a new business is an amazing and exciting experience. But, like all other activities, this path is thorny and full of dangers. Fortunately, most of the pitfalls are already known, so you can avoid stepping on other people’s mistakes and successfully avoid obstacles.

“Strive not for success, but for your life to have meaning.” Albert Einstein

One of the common mistakes when starting a new business is trying to do everything entirely on your own. Some things simply cannot be accomplished with one pair of (even very skillful) hands. If an entrepreneur is unable to build a reliable team, he can hardly expect success in the future. After all, business is teamwork, and a businessman is, first of all, an organizer, strategist and thinker. He does not need to be personally involved in all matters - his task is to lead and coordinate.

Anyone who wants their business to be successful must have a clear idea of ​​who they are, what they do and why they do it. To gain clarity, you can ask yourself the following questions:

• What is the company's mission?
• What are the brand values?
• Who is my ideal client?
• How do I want to establish myself in the market?
• How am I different from my competitors?
• Why did my clients choose me?
• What are my customers' main problems and how can I/my product/service solve them?

Answering these questions (and others like them) will help an entrepreneur better define his goals and make his business more successful.

The big mistake many new entrepreneurs make is that they hire people based on their personal liking rather than their professional qualities.

For example, if a business needs a high-quality web designer, and your friend has completed some courses and is creating business card websites for 300 rubles, it is tempting to consider hiring him for your business. And even the fact that his layouts are simply terrible may not affect the situation - after all, he is a friend, his own person, who will always support him with a kind word. Needless to say, this approach is doomed to failure.

The first criterion when hiring is to recruit people into the team who do their jobs flawlessly.

Don’t spend money on things that are of secondary importance for business (for example, a fancy “smart” office, chic branded clothing for staff, etc.).

People have some needs or problems, so they become our clients. If a business does not solve these problems, it has nothing to do in the market. An aspiring entrepreneur who wants to succeed must clearly understand what client problem he is solving. Without such clarity, a business will fail anyway.

Important to remember:

• Money is not an end in itself, look for a calling. In business, you need to work hard to stay afloat in a competitive environment, and this cannot be done if you do not love what you do. In the end, people go into business for the sake of freedom and realizing their potential; those who go here for the money are only doomed to failure.
• Write down your ideas. Today you may feel like you don't want to try anything out of the available niches. Tomorrow you will see an online store on a social network or on the street and say to yourself: “Damn it! I could also earn money like this and enjoy it!” It is important that this feeling does not leave you and is not forgotten, and that the idea is realized. To do this, you need to quickly write it down, because in 1-2 hours all the fervor will pass, but the recordings will remain.
• Always analyze your competitors. You can’t just go ahead and open a business without checking how similar projects are progressing. Otherwise, later, when you fail, you will understand that your path has already been passed a thousand times, but you did not bother to study the mistakes of your predecessors and their methods of work.
• Start by selling your own services. You may not get much income as a copywriter or designer, or a private accountant, but you will gain sales experience. This is not an easy sale, namely your sales, your product. In addition, this will give you confidence in your abilities and help overcome the fear of being fired from your main job.
• Look for partners. It is possible to be a solo business owner, but it will take you tens of times longer than if you acted together. In the end, all business rests on partnerships; understanding their essence will make you a true professional in this environment.
• Set yourself up for a marathon, not a sprint. Any business involves time costs and payback. You should not expect that your efforts will pay off in the first months; perhaps they will not pay off even in the first year. There are niches where they wait 1-2 years for results, and then they get real profits that exceed all expectations. In other words, there is no such thing as quick money.

Where to get money for business

As we have already found out, even if we consider business ideas without investments, we will still have to spend at least some money. Even if the business itself requires almost no financial investment, you need to provide advertising, payment for employees, even your time. Therefore, before you start, you need to take care of the material side of the issue. There are several ways you can go here.

Accumulate. The easiest way is to work somewhere and save some money. The specific figure depends on the plans of the future entrepreneur, but in general, you need to focus on having enough money for at least six months of life, after leaving for free bread.

Combine business and main job. Even the simplest and least paid job, if it does not take a lot of time and effort, will be a good help for starting your own business. The main thing is that you can at least live from paycheck to paycheck without getting into debt.

Attract investment. It's a tempting idea, but in reality it will be difficult to obtain funds this way. An investor is a person who invests money in someone else's business project, only being sure that he will make a profit from it or at least be able to return the costs. Therefore, it will be almost impossible to interest an investor without a detailed and realistic business plan and legal guarantees of return on investment (pledge of property or real estate).

Find a partner. If the investor is, in fact, only a wallet, the partner is often a full participant in the business who is completely immersed in the process. Partners share costs and bear equal responsibility for the success of the enterprise.

Take advantage of crowdfunding. Not the most relevant way for most people to find money to start, but nevertheless, you can consider it. The point here is to take advantage of online fundraising platforms and get people interested. If there are many people willing to invest even a small amount of money, the required amount will be received quickly enough.

Take a loan from a bank. The easiest way when it comes to implementing a business idea without large investments. Banks very rarely give loans to start a business, so it is best to take a regular consumer loan. However, this method is good only if there are reliable support (for example, working parents who can help pay interest on the loan if the business venture fails).

There is another option - a subsidy from the state (each region has its own programs to support start-up entrepreneurs). Although, it probably goes without saying that gaining access to this source for an ordinary person who does not offer something advanced or innovative will be no easier than finding a treasure or “cheating” a Goldfish for money.

Summary of searching for ideas: What areas can you work in?

In fact, there is no clear division of business ideas into separate categories. But for ease of perception, we can divide possible types of activities into several areas:

• Trade. A direction that is relevant at all times and will remain so as long as commodity-money relations exist in the world.
• Production. Potentially a very profitable business, if, of course, you manage to offer consumers a truly necessary and in-demand product and do it better than your competitors.
• Services sector. Here we can talk about help, service, education and many other areas. According to statistics, the most promising business ideas without large investments relate specifically to the service sector.
• Information business and work on the Internet. Information technology is developing very quickly, so everything related to the work of network services can become promising ideas for starting your own business.
• Creativity and hand-made. This is also a fairly popular field of activity, since exclusive handmade goods are always in demand. Therefore, anyone who feels creative potential can try themselves here.

A separate area is financial markets. The simplest example is playing on the stock and currency exchange. You just need to understand right away: in order to make this business successful, you will have to spend a lot of time on education and increasing your knowledge in the field of economics. The advantages of such a business are obvious - even minimal investments here can bring enormous income. However, the risks of failure are also very high, and punctures often occur even among seasoned professionals.

Conclusion

Ideas for small businesses from scratch and with minimal investment really do exist. There are many of them, so you don’t have to limit yourself to the options offered. Finding your niche is actually not that difficult. The main thing is to correctly identify the needs and desires of your potential clients and give them exactly what they want. Many may think that starting with some small things is an undertaking that will not bear good fruit. But they forget that only starting small can they test themselves in business, avoiding serious risks. The cost of an error with large turnover and investments is also immeasurably higher. “Fumbling in the sandbox” will give an idea of ​​possible difficulties and pitfalls, and will also point out real problems and ways to solve them. Therefore, you can safely take on small ideas, test yourself for the possibility of becoming an entrepreneur and, finally, test yourself in real business.
