Internet business: ideas for 2017!

In 2017, Internet business will remain the same profitable niche as before, of course, if you invest all your time and effort into it. Internet business does not forgive half-hearted efforts. Such a working rhythm is a direct path to losing your money. Keep this in mind and start exploring the most profitable online business ideas of 2017.

Traffic arbitrage - what is it..? And how much does he bring?

This is pure business, since the point is to “buy cheaper and sell more expensive.” What will be the product? As you understand, traffic, that is, visitors to a certain resource per day. All websites need traffic. Even very popular ones, because the higher the website traffic, the more profit it brings. So, in 2017, traffic will be needed as before, but the main thing is that traffic arbitrage, as a direction in the Internet business, is not yet sufficiently occupied. The competition here is not as high as, say, among those who sell clothes through online stores, or the same copywriters who literally fight for every customer.

The scheme of such a business is not as complicated as it might seem: you buy (or attract free) traffic - find someone who will buy it at a profit - transfer the traffic to the buyer’s resource.

There are different ways to “get” traffic:

• buy on special exchanges, where you can immediately sell it (KupiTraff, Popunder, Wizard TraffStock);
• receive through contextual, banner, teaser advertising networks;
• attract visitors to your website, and then send them to your partner’s website through a referral link;
• generate traffic from communities on social networks and redirect it.

Next, the received traffic needs to be resold at a profit in order to cover your financial costs (if you bought it) or temporary ones (if you “extracted” it for free). They pay for traffic by “affiliate programs” or affiliate programs that can be freely found on the Internet. The more there are, the better. Everyone pays differently, but you can derive an approximate formula that will reflect your possible income: feel free to multiply the amount of money invested in arbitration by two - that’s the profit that you can get from this business.

There are still only a few art traders: some are scared by the scary name, some are not ready to devote every day to this business, because you need to do it seriously... In any case, if you were interested in fresh and unhackneyed business ideas 2017 for the Internet, this option You can give honorable first place.

Dropshipping! Open an online store without goods or warehouse!

Dropshipping is direct deliveries from the manufacturer to the buyer, with you acting as an intermediary between them. Mediation consists of:

• creating (or renting) a trading platform;
• placing orders;
• consulting clients.

It turns out that the businessman does not buy goods with his own money and does not look for a warehouse. The product passes by him, as it were, but for the fact that he helped formalize the purchase/sale transaction, he receives the difference between the price set by the manufacturer and the price at which the product is sold on his platform.

A typical example of a store using the dropshipping system is modnakasta in Ukraine. There are products from various brands at the best prices, but of course, the creators “twist” it in such a way that they themselves are not left with anything. But even in this situation, the cost of clothing is cheaper than in retail stores.

Finding a supplier for your store is not a problem - there are entire databases of suppliers that even offer the use of ready-made platforms. For example, www.insales.ru.

Surely you want to get an answer to the burning question - how much does dropshipping bring per month? My friend Angelina has 2 stores (one for clothes, the second for gadgets) and from them she receives a net income of 27,000 rubles per month. If we take not a specific example, but the situation in general, then there are stores that bring in a million or more a month, and there are those that do not bring profit at all. And the latter – 80%. Therefore, opening an online store using the dropshipping system is not a guarantee of stable earnings. It’s not enough to open it - you also need to promote it and win a customer base.

Trading or trading on exchanges!

The rating entitled “Business Ideas 2017” would be incomplete if we did not mention trading on financial exchanges among the options for online business. This idea will be relevant for any year, since you can always make money from fluctuations in exchange rates (as well as other assets). The cyclical nature of the market determines its constant changes, which are a source of income for traders: if he correctly predicts their direction, he will make a profit, if not, he will lose his deposit. This is not a casino or fortune telling on coffee grounds! Trading is a science that needs to be learned. You can do this yourself (by studying information on the Internet), or you can do it with the help of brokers (by taking training courses with them).

By the way, about brokers. These are intermediaries without whom you cannot trade. They provide a trading platform through which you enter the market and place trades. Be careful, as there are many scammers among them.

Here is a list of those brokers whose reliability has been tested by time and real traders:

• IQ Option;
• UTRADER;
• GO Option.

Sometimes it is profitable to bet on young brokers, as they offer favorable conditions, give many bonuses, and hold promotions. But there is also a risk - it is unknown how long he will last and how his activities will end. Maybe another scammer? Especially for our readers, we name a young broker whose integrity cannot be doubted - Bintrader.com. It’s up to you to decide which of them to cooperate with... You can find another broker altogether - not from this list. There are a lot of opinions and advice on trader forums; studying them will also be useful.

How much will you earn from implementing such a business idea? It depends on:

• how much you will deposit;
• how much will you open a deal for?
• exactly how many trades you will open, with what intensity;
• what interest does the broker pay on successfully closed transactions?

On average, your earnings, depending on your level of training and trading experience, will be as follows:

1. Professional – 4000-5000 USD in a week (of course, only a few achieve such success and not in one day).
2. Specialist – 1000-2000 USD during the week.
3. Beginner – 100-200 USD in a week - already an excellent result.

As in any business, trading involves risks. Beginners should especially remember this. The first deposit is most often lost in 90% of cases. Therefore, be prepared for this, but do not give up - this is your invaluable experience as a trader, which in the future can lead to consistently high earnings.

What to sell to earn income? Business ideas 2017!

Progress does not stand still, so the article began with the most progressive business ideas that can be implemented via the Internet. Now let’s talk about the classic genre in business – sales. This niche will always be profitable, since people are constantly buying and selling something. The downside of sales is that there is a lot of competition in this field. But you can find such an “unused” assortment that will have no competitors (or rather, almost no competitors, because competition is always and everywhere, and monopolies have long since sunk into oblivion). You can also choose a current product for 2017 that will be especially interesting. Below you are offered just such options.

Sales of electronic cigarettes: is there really such a demand for them?

Over the past year, there has been a real boom, which is due to the fact that people began to massively abandon cigarettes and hookahs in favor of electronic cigarettes. Moreover, today it is prestigious and fashionable. If you smoke an electronic cigarette, you are trendy. For young people, the presence of this accessory means that you are cool and presentable. Although it’s not just about “coolness” - many people simply like this thing, so they do not deny themselves the pleasure. After all, e-cigarettes are used by those who want to quit smoking, as they do not contain nicotine.

It is best to focus on an unusual (even souvenir) assortment:

• Vipers (steamed cigarettes);
• electronic cigarettes with initials and other inscriptions;
• Smoking flash drives are a great gift for an office worker who is quitting smoking.

Vipers today are a “super” hot commodity. To open a store to sell them, you will need around 120 thousand to 150 thousand rubles (not Moscow prices). Such a business idea will pay for itself in 2-4 months. In the first months, “dirty” income per month will be about 120 thousand rubles. Subtract the cost of goods from it - about half of the net income will remain. If you hired a seller and rented space, then subtract these expenses from the remaining amount. But if you continue in the same spirit, then after another period the income may be twice as much. Do you agree that 200-odd thousand rubles is not a bad monthly income?

We are organizing fruit supplies from Southeast Asia!

For some reason, such fruits on the shelves of our supermarkets (meaning ordinary ones) are very rare, although their cost is not so high. Most likely, the shortage of such fruits is caused by the fact that it is difficult to arrange direct deliveries, since mainly the Thais (mostly fruits are imported from Thailand) work with tonnage transportation, the cargo of which starts from 1 ton or more.

You can try to negotiate with them about smaller deliveries. If you succeed, you will be on top! Alternatively, you can try buying fruits and berries in Vietnam. Local farmers are less spoiled by the attention of foreign investors (that is, you) and even ordinary tourists; perhaps it will be easier to negotiate with them.

If you can’t arrange wholesale supplies, place advertisements for one-time work! There are many forums where Russians who moved to Thailand or Vietnam sit. They may agree to help their fellow countryman or find a suitable person from the locals. In this case, you will write him a list of fruits - they will be stingy - and will transfer the parcel in your name through the cargo carriers.

You can offer customers the following types of fruits:

• Pattaya;
• rambutan;
• coconut;
• mangosteen;
• durian;
• mango;
• papaya;
• Pamela, etc.

All this is a standard set at local markets, which is always in stock. The cost of these fruits per 1 kg in Southeast Asia varies from 35 to 100 rubles. Agree, this is not much. But taking into account the fact that the dollar has grown several times against the ruble, air travel, and in general, holidays in these countries are no longer affordable for many. But sometimes everyone wants something exotic, so your proposal in 2017 - buy fruits and berries from Thailand - will be very relevant. Even if you double the price of the product, and then include the cost of transportation and labor costs for your intermediary, it will still be more profitable than flying back and forth, and definitely more pleasant than buying weathered fruit in expensive supermarkets.

Entertainment business ideas relevant for 2017!

The further it goes, the more people want “bread and circuses”... The more organized their lives are, the more they are willing to spend on entertainment. In principle, despite all the forecasts that were made after the introduction of anti-Russian sanctions, the economy continues to develop, and mass impoverishment of the population is not observed. Therefore, in 2017 people will be ready to pay for holidays and recreation. In this regard, pay attention to entertainment business ideas 2017.

Vape bar opening!

Although the law does not prohibit smoking electronic cigarettes, including vapes, in public places, problems still arise from time to time for their owners. For example, not all establishments will meet the desire to smoke with a bang. And this is quite understandable:

• Some visitors may not like this, so the establishment may lose a client because of you;
• instead of, for example, smoking a hookah - you, one might say, come with your own smoking instrument, again - the establishment is at a loss.

That’s why a relevant business idea for 2017 will be the opening of a vape bar, where visitors could come with their electronic cigarette and enjoy the atmosphere of your cozy bar, while drinking tea or something stronger, or even cooler - they could come to take you have a vape for rent.

So far this business niche is empty. An example of the implementation of such a business idea can so far only be found in megacities (Moscow, St. Petersburg), so the possible profit will be given based on the indicators of, so to speak, metropolitan establishments. So, income and costs will be as follows:

1. For a vape bar where food and drinks will be served (cafe type), the costs will be 5 million rubles, the monthly profitability will be 700 thousand - 1 million rubles.
2. For a vape bar like a club of interests, where games and competitions will be held, the opening costs will be about 600 thousand rubles, the profitability will be 1 million rubles.

Organization of quests outdoors and indoors! How to do it?

Quests have appeared in the vastness of Russia since 2014, and the first to open the network of quest rooms “Claustrophobia” were three friends – Kadyrov, Kuznetsov, Kravtsov.

This is an interesting business idea, and also promising - people have long been tired of cinema and restaurants, they want an active and extraordinary vacation. You can open an quest room in the form of a fear room, a crime scene, a meeting place with paranormal phenomena, or just a chamber room from which you “can’t get out.” As an alternative to indoor quests, you can organize outdoor quests.

To open a quest room in a large city, you will need financial investments in the region of approximately 1 million rubles. This is if you started an independent business. Opening quests under a franchise will cost from 90,000 to 300,000 rubles.

Return of invested money is possible within a period of 1 to 4 months. In the best case, your monthly income will be 500,000 thousand rubles.

Tabletop entertainment club: what to buy for it?

If quest rooms are designed more for the public from 16 to 30 years old, then a wider audience will come to such an institution. This means there will be more visitors - there will be grandparents with grandchildren, parents with children, and just entire student or school groups.

All you need is:

1. Find a room;
2. Stylize it as a playroom (unboring design, bright colors, comfortable furniture);
3. Buy board games (monopoly, football, hockey, Elias, twister, mafia, lotto, etc.)

The starting capital depends on the “scope” of the club and the city. If this is the capital, then it can be 300,000 rubles, and if it is a province, then 30,000 rubles. One visitor will bring you about 1000-1500 rubles a month by Moscow standards and 300-500 rubles by small town standards. The number of visitors per month will depend on your advertising, so you can then calculate the monthly income yourself.

Holding exhibitions: what will we exhibit?

The fact that people were massively attracted to art in 2016 can be judged at least by the record number of visitors to Serov’s exhibition. Now we will also talk about exhibitions, but not necessarily paintings. An excellent business idea would be to organize such exhibitions where people can find someone or buy something.

For example, in big cities, restaurateurs are faced with the idea of ​​finding good chefs. You can arrange a kind of master class exhibition, where chefs will prepare their masterpieces in front of spectators and potential employers, and you will receive a good income for organizing this show. Which one?

It will consist of several components:

• participation of chefs in the exhibition can cost from 1000 to 2000 rubles;
• spectator “tickets” - 200-400 rubles;

For one such event you can earn 50-100 thousand rubles. But just keep in mind that first you will need to find a furnished premises and advertise the show.

Similar exhibitions can be held among hairdressers, needlewomen, florists, etc. Thus, you will act as an intermediary between the employer and his future employee, and also give visitors the opportunity to receive aesthetic pleasure.

How much income can you get from an anti-cafe?

The point of an anti-cafe is that here people pay not for the food and drinks purchased, but for the time spent. In fact, the treat is provided free of charge.

The anti-cafe hosts poetry evenings, Mafia games, various master classes, yoga classes, film screenings, drawing lessons, etc.

The demand for antique cafes has been growing in recent years. 2017 will be no exception. Even in large cities there are not so many of them yet, let alone small ones... If you open one anti-cafe in a small town, it will undoubtedly bring big profits! By the way, which one?

Is renting a bike profitable? Seasonal business!

It’s worth noting right away that this is a seasonal business, however... The popularization of a healthy lifestyle is doing its job - today there are a lot of people who want to switch from a car or public transport to a real exercise bike. In 2017, there will definitely be fewer of them... Therefore, starting somewhere in May (or better yet, in April), you can start preparing for the implementation of a business idea called “bike sharing”. What will you need?

• Bicycles;
• Ammunition;
• Garage;
• Equipment maintenance personnel.

The starting point where they will be concentrated should be located in a spacious and convenient area for movement: a square, a park, an embankment, a square, large shopping centers. Place your bikes where young people like to hang out, as this is your target audience.

Let's talk about expenses. The minimum price for a bicycle for adults that will not fall apart while moving is 10,000 rubles. Ideally, much more expensive. If you start with the minimum, then you need at least 6 units of equipment. Plus add to this the rent of the garage and the salary of the employees if you hire them. These are your costs.

Now about income. If the cost of an hour of skiing is 100-150 rubles, and a day is somewhere around 500-800, then your profit per month can be from 50 to 100 thousand rubles.

Service industry: the most profitable ideas of 2017!

Business ideas in 2017 cannot be left without business options in the service sector. On the one hand, this is a more expensive business, since in addition to materials, premises, equipment, you will also have to pay staff. On the other hand, the demand for services never dries up (they are much more necessary than entertainment), especially those that will be discussed below.

Order pick-up point: how to open it?

The point is that you enter into an agreement with online stores, and they deliver orders to your premises for their customers, from where they then pick them up. It is better to locate your office in residential areas - this is where it is most convenient for people to pick up their parcels. As a rule, the goods are delivered to your point by the “forces” of the partner and at his own expense.

In addition to the actual issuance, you can also offer the client the following services:

• parcel packaging;
• exchange and return of goods;
• home delivery.

From this you will have additional profit, in addition to the percentage that the online store agrees to pay you.

All you need to implement this business idea is:

• premises;
• racks;
• computer with internet;
• cash machine.

On average, this will cost you 150,000 rubles. A good income for a beginner can be considered 30,000 rubles. The longer your location operates, the more you invest in advertising, the more profitable this business idea will be.

A nail bar is the most profitable option!

Modern business women are always busy, but despite this they manage to look great. In particular, express nail salons or nail bars, as they are also called, help them with this. They are usually located in large shopping centers and look like this: a manicurist sits at the bar and receives clients without an appointment. Such “islands” of beauty in the shopping center are very popular, because you never know when you will have a free moment... and even when it appears, the master does not always have the opportunity to receive you at that particular time. Therefore, nail bars have proven their worth and promise as a business idea over the past few years.

Hello dear readers. Today we’ll talk about business during the 2019 crisis and share a small selection of current business ideas in unstable times of crisis. If you have your own ideas, we are waiting for them in the comments under the article.

How to open a business in a crisis

This is probably the main question for everyone who wants to make money during a crisis. Let's see what successful entrepreneurs say about this.

Founder and owner of Tinkoff Bank.

According to Oleg Tinkov, special attention in times of crisis should be paid to the medical sector and everything connected with it. With a reasonable approach, startups that are focused on the production of dietary supplements, medications, equipment for clinics and pharmacy chains can be profitable. Little competition and growing demand create ideal conditions for private medical institutions and the hospital sector.

In the absence of large initial investments, Oleg Tinkov advises paying attention to the promising market for developing applications for gadgets and online consulting. The businessman rightly believes that Russia is noticeably behind many world developments in the field of medicine and moving away from them by 15–20 years, and for beginners there are plenty of opportunities for copying.

Investments in medical development and R&D can provide good income in the future. The only problem is the high cost and long payback period of such business projects, and in Russia they are not used to doing this.

Founder and owner of such companies as Dymovskoye Sausage Production, Suzdal Ceramics, Respublika (a chain of bookstores) and Rubezh (cafes and restaurants).

The owner of a network of well-known companies believes that in these crisis conditions it is better to start business projects related to import substitution. An analysis of the trade market and customs statistics over the past few years will provide a clue. These may be some types of food products for which demand has been stable. He believes that the crisis situation has not changed either people or officials.

Vadim Dymov is convinced that it is possible to achieve financial heights by opening new projects in agriculture. As an option, he proposes to use state land shares in the Far East to grow soybeans, which can be exported to China. A risky but simple business can bring significant profits.

The businessman does not rule out achieving success by opening startups in the field of engineering logistics and components for assembling units. He claims that there are absolutely free niches for the development of medium and small businesses in small towns far from Moscow. Why not open a carpentry workshop to produce excellent domestic furniture? Suddenly? But it’s very nice to create and use something that’s your own, to raise your own brand.

Founder and owner of the Dodo Pizza chain of pizzerias.

According to Fyodor Ovchinnikov, the time of crisis is a period that is favorable for opening almost any business. After all, this crisis simply creates a new one from the usual coordinate system, and life continues to take its course. Only the rules of the game change, and it is not “what” that is important, but “how” to act in new conditions.

Fyodor Ovchinnikov is confident that Mercedes will be in demand during the crisis. The main thing is to find an optimal and competitive business model to win in modern conditions.

Fyodor Ovchinnikov suffered a serious setback early in his financial career. His first project to sell books turned out to be unprofitable and a failure, but only helped the businessman develop a new strategy. Now the entrepreneur approaches the beginning of each of his business as if there is a serious crisis in the yard. He immediately asks himself a reasonable question: “What will happen to his business project when everything gets bad, even if everything is good at this stage?” He rightly believes that it is precisely in these difficult and new times that a healthy and strong business can be formed in the country.

Founder and owner of the Expedition company.

According to entrepreneur Alexander Kravtsov, now is a great time for any new endeavors. Here it is important to invest your soul into a business project and maintain good spirits. If you don’t hide and don’t retreat, then everything can turn out to be an excellent and profitable business.

Alexander Kravtsov believes that there are no crises. Now there are a lot of markets that are losing money. But there are many enterprises simply overwhelmed with stable orders. For example, the only Russian company producing backpacks is working at full capacity.

The businessman believes that interesting and relevant topics for new business are food and tourism development.

It is better to become more active in those financial niches from which foreign investments have left. But he recommends being more careful with fixed expense items. Serious changes are taking place in the market in favor of the employer: many active and qualified specialists are being released who can be useful for new projects.

Alexander Kravtsov believes that a businessman in a crisis should become a cynic: not pay high rent, not pay inflated bonuses and not invest in dubious projects.

TOP - 15 business ideas during a crisis

Below we have collected 15 small business ideas during a crisis. This is not all that can be discovered in an unstable economic situation, so we will try to supplement the article. Including your ideas, which you will leave in the comments!

You can also get useful information from the article about.

Business idea No. 1 – Opening an online store

Preliminary costs- from 200,000 rubles.

The general essence of the proposed idea is the development and organization of an online store, sale of goods through the site, delivery to customers using a courier service or regular mail. The relevance of such a project is confirmed by numerous economic analyzes of the market. The service is increasingly in demand among middle-aged buyers, and the monthly growth of the market speaks of its prospects.

When planning to open an online store of women's or children's clothing, the owner faces the following costs:

• expenses for development and technical support for uninterrupted operation of the site;
• salary of administrator, courier;
• if necessary, renting a warehouse;
• transportation costs when purchasing goods.

The rent for the premises of a stationary store is replaced by the content of the website, the purchase of software, and advertising costs.

The average percentage of profitability of knitwear and clothing stores is at the level of 20-25%. If you invest more than 200,000 rubles in the purchase of goods, the monthly net profit can be from 40,000 rubles. By actively promoting an online store, analyzing the assortment and costs, you can pay for such a project in just 4-6 months.

Business idea No. 2 – Opening a street fast food

Preliminary cost of the project- 275,000 rubles.

The essence of the idea is to open a small retail outlet for the production and sale of a certain type of snacks and drinks to consumers. Unlike the usual shawarma and hot dogs, the project proposes to develop an assortment based on sandwiches with nutritious and tasty fillings, classic or closed sandwiches. The relevance of the idea lies in the constant demand for fast food products. During a crisis, people go to restaurants less often and increasingly prefer quick-to-cook and inexpensive street food.

It is better to open such a stationary point in places with a large flow of people: near metro stations or bus stops, shopping malls, higher educational institutions. Main costs:

• rental of a trading place;
• purchasing a stall, tent or trailer;
• purchase of heating and refrigeration display cases, equipment for work.

If we base the calculation of approximate income on daily turnover of around 8,000 rubles, then we can talk about average monthly revenue of 240,000 rubles. With a profitability of 30% included in the price, such street fast food will pay for itself in 5 months. You can increase the influx of customers by adding dishes with non-standard ingredients, offers for vegetarians or healthy food connoisseurs who have difficulty finding a decent catering outlet.

Business idea No. 3 – Opening a pancake cafe on wheels

Initial investment- 400,000 rubles.

The business idea is based on equipping a pancake baking station, organizing the production of special fillings, and selling this original fast food to the buyer. There are many companies on the market offering a tasty product, so competition in the sector is high. By relying on non-standard products for fillings, beautiful presentation, excellent taste, you can get a stable profit and regular customers.

To organize the process, it is better to choose a mobile point that can be moved when changing the place of trade, transported to participate in events and public holidays. Its equipment will be the main cost item for opening a pancake cafe.

Successful development of production is possible in the case of:

• a wide range of interesting fillings;
• staff professionalism;
• choosing the right location.

In most such enterprises, the markup level is 80-100%, which completely covers utility bills, all costs and provides a stable profit. We can talk about complete self-sufficiency only after a few months due to the initially low cost of this product and strong competition.

Business idea No. 4 – Bakery and confectionery

Approximate investment amount– 1,000,000 rubles.

It is worth noting that people will always want to eat, in connection with this, opening a catering business during a crisis period becomes relevant, even when not everything is in order with the economy in the country. Small companies combining the functions of a bakery and a store are gaining popularity in large cities. An interesting assortment and a pleasant homely atmosphere can attract buyers with different income levels. The essence of this idea is the design and opening of a fully equipped enterprise that is engaged in baking and selling bakery and confectionery products to consumers.

To locate a bakery and pastry shop, you must carefully select a place with good traffic. Ideally, if there is a shopping center, bus stop or office block nearby. The project can be developed in two directions:

• a simple bakery and confectionery with a sales area;
• bakery and pastry shop with a small cafeteria for visitors.

The first option is more economical in terms of investment and requires less time spent on organization. With a good location, the bakery can serve 300–800 visitors per day, each of whom will make a purchase in the amount of 200–400 rubles. The approximate profitability of a small enterprise without a cafeteria is 20%. With such volumes of trade, the costs of opening a bakery and confectionery will pay off in less than 10 - 12 months.

Business Idea No. 5 – Opening an outsourcing company

Minimum investment– 550,000 rubles.

The essence of such a project is the creation of an outsourcing company that provides various services to third parties for a fee. As your main specialization, you can choose accounting or legal support for business, solving financial or IT issues, or creating an external call center to work with orders. The market for such outsourcing companies is just emerging, making the business project relevant. During a crisis, many companies reduce staff and it is more profitable for them to outsource tasks.

To organize and start work, it is necessary to solve two specific tasks:

• renting a convenient office space in the central part of the city;
• recruiting real professionals in the chosen field.

In addition to the initial costs of renting and decorating an office, it is necessary to invest part of the funds in advertising and maintaining life in the first months of formation. Work with clients is carried out on the basis of a special agreement. The cost of services is calculated individually for each work situation. Great attention must be paid to the quality and completeness of the work. This will help in attracting regular customers and increasing the profitability of the outsourcing company.

Business idea No. 6 – Opening a canteen

Minimum investment– 1,000,000 rubles.

The essence of the project is the opening of a small catering establishment in the format of a city canteen. Its services will be in demand among people with different incomes: students, pensioners, business travelers. Such budget canteens have a stable demand and show low competition even in large cities.

After choosing the work format, you should decide on the premises. It must fully meet certain technical requirements. The best option would be to rent a former catering establishment or a spacious hall near a train station, higher educational institutions, or shopping malls.

The main cost items may be:

• refurbishment of premises for visitors;
• purchase of kitchen and commercial equipment;
• training and maintenance of the team.

It is considered optimal to accommodate up to 50 visitors at a time. Workload varies depending on the time of the working day. The average is a traffic rate of 50-60% with a check for 200-300 rubles. The daily income of a canteen with such a volume starts from 25,000 rubles. Taking into account all the overhead costs and the cost of renting the premises, such a “delicious” business project can pay for itself in just a year of stable operation.

Business idea No. 7 – Business in the production of frame houses

Minimum investment– 500,000 rubles.

The essence of such a project is the development and implementation of a business idea for the turnkey construction of frame houses. The purchase of small wooden houses is in demand among the middle class, which seeks to move closer to nature outside the city. Construction work from foundation to turnkey delivery does not exceed several months. The affordable cost of materials makes frame houses a good investment.

To implement the project, it will be necessary to open several offices in different areas that will accept orders and enter into contracts for the sale of finished objects. At the first stage, the main investments will be:

• training and wages for construction crews;
• maintaining staff in the office;
• advertising expenses;
• purchasing the necessary tool kits.

The level of profitability is calculated based on the cost of materials spent on the object. On average, one meter of living space costs 30–40 thousand rubles. You can sell it at a price of 70 thousand rubles, receiving a net profit after the sale of a cottage or townhouse in the amount of up to 2 million rubles. Such a business can become profitable and generate a stable income, paying off after two completed projects.

Business idea No. 8 – Opening an economy class hair salon

Amount of capital investment- over 300,000 rubles.

The essence of the business idea is to open a small hairdressing salon that provides a full range of necessary services at affordable prices. Such a project will be relevant in large and medium-sized cities due to the constant demand of the population of different ages and incomes. By providing quality service at prices affordable for most clients, you can create a project with a stable income.

The main amount of costs falls on the purchase of specialized furniture, work equipment and cosmetics, design and equipment of the hairdressing salon. Good cross-country ability is ensured by its opening in a densely populated residential area near a bus stop and shopping centers. To get additional profit you can:

• use leasing of workplaces instead of hired personnel;
• invite representatives of related professions to sublease to increase the flow of clients (manicurists, makeup artists).

With an average bill for a service of 250 rubles and servicing at least 16 visitors per shift, the return on investment period is planned to be up to 18 months. Expanding the list of services, holding promotions and self-promotion will help improve results, guaranteeing a profitability of 29%.

Business idea No. 9 – Opening a pharmacy

Preliminary costs- from 500,000 rubles.

The essence of the idea is the wholesale purchase of a wide range of medicines and the organization of a stationary pharmacy to sell these medicines to the population at retail. Given the high demand for this type of product, even with the existing level of competition, the project can be a very profitable financial idea.

Good and stable profits in this area of ​​​​business depend on the pricing policy, the choice of the most stable suppliers and location. A small pharmacy operating as a discounter will be in stable demand among the population of the residential area. Its opening is optimal near metro stations, a transport stop or a grocery supermarket.

To implement the project you will need:

• specially converted non-residential premises;
• personnel with appropriate education;
• concluding contracts with trusted suppliers.

The profitability of a pharmacy is directly proportional to the turnover of medicines. Taking into account the specifics of the legislation, entrepreneurs set high markups for some groups of drugs. Additional income comes from the sale of medical equipment, hygiene items, and baby food.

Business idea No. 10 – Opening a children's consignment store

Estimated investments- 300,000 rubles.

The general essence of the idea is the organization of a small store to accept goods for sale from customers for the purpose of subsequent resale, taking into account a certain commission to the seller. This area of ​​activity is rapidly growing. High-quality children's products are in high demand, especially in conditions of tough financial austerity in many young families.

The main cost is to rent a small space, renovate it and equip it with retail equipment, furniture and stands. The project does not require purchasing items from wholesale warehouses, but an important component is constant advertising to attract potential buyers and sellers.

It is better to open a store in a densely populated area, near grocery supermarkets or children's clinics. Requires small investments:

• colorful facade design;
• content of the website or groups on social networks;
• staff salaries.

For such a project, economists consider a profitability level of 12-15% to be good. With a daily turnover of 15,000 rubles, the monthly net profit minus all expenses can be 30,000 rubles. Savings can be achieved by making such an enterprise a family business and not hiring outside employees.

Business idea No. 11 – Opening training courses

The relevance of this idea lies in the fact that parents will not save on children even during an economic downturn. Private schools for studying foreign languages ​​or preparing children for the Unified State Exam may not be affordable for some parents during a crisis, but budget private courses (individual or in a small group) are quite possible.

Estimated investments depend on the scale of the business. You can purchase all the necessary interactive training tools and organize training courses at home or rent office space by the hour. The remaining costs will go to advertising: in social media. networks, on message boards, newspapers, etc.

Business Idea No. 12 – Farm Products

During a crisis, many products in large supermarkets rise in price. During this period, the sale of farm products directly from the farmer becomes especially relevant. Having received all the necessary documents, you can organize a stationary point at the market or a mobile sale of: milk, eggs, cottage cheese, pork, beef, poultry, etc.

Initial costs will depend on the scale of the business organization. You may need to purchase a special tank for transporting milk, rent a sales pavilion, or hire a salesperson and driver. In addition, you can develop an individual design for your company, including the cost of branded stickers for cars and products.

Business idea No. 13 – “Everything at one price” store

Estimated investments- 700,000 rubles.

It is worth noting that all the stores in this area on the market “rose” precisely during the crisis. In pursuit of a good price, people strive to save as much as possible, increasingly visiting stores with a fixed price. The assortment will depend on your preferences, from inexpensive products to household supplies.

You can purchase a franchise or open a store yourself. In any case, the essence will be similar. Costs will go to:

• rental of premises;
• purchase of commercial equipment;
• first batch of goods;
• hiring employees.

As in any business, do not forget about the successful location of the retail outlet: a busy street, a walkable area.

As a supplier, you can consider purchasing goods from China.

Business idea No. 14 – Manufacturing business or import substitution

Import substitution- a key point in organizing a business during an economic downturn. In addition, state policy is entirely directed in this direction. There are many grants and third-party investments in organizing production in our country. This may be new to some, but goods can be transported not only from China, but also to China! Many food products there have a high price, and if the supply is properly organized, we can talk about a promising business.

In addition, during a crisis, imported products increase in price due to currency fluctuations. In this regard, the demand for domestic goods with stable, reasonable prices is increasing. This forms the basis for organizing a manufacturing business.

This may include agricultural products(honey, nuts, meat, milk, cheeses, etc.), textile production, conservation(fish, porridge, vegetables, etc.), fresh vegetables and fruits and much more.

Business idea No. 15 – Home-based beauty salon

Estimated investments - 30 000.

The popularization of masters who will come to your home and prepare you for important events has become relevant precisely during the crisis. Beauty salons do not reduce prices for their services, but private hairdressers, makeup artists, and manicurists charge much less money, and they do not have to share with the owner and pay rent.

All initial costs will go towards taking special courses, purchasing the necessary equipment and advertising. To prepare a portfolio, you can try your skills on close relatives and friends.

By offering a wide range of well-known and unusually tasting varieties at reasonable prices, you can acquire a solid circle of regular customers and receive a stable income.

The popularization of tea in Russia is now at its peak. Many show business stars also promote this natural drink. Many stores host tea ceremonies and tastings of new and unusual varieties.

Implementation of the idea:

• purchase of inventory for the first period;
• rental of retail space;
• purchase of equipment, display cases;
• purchase of packaging materials.

The most significant expenses are incurred on the purchase of circulating goods, which are sold at a 100% markup. The total sales volume with a good location can reach 200,000 rubles.

An increase in income can come from offering related goods, some types of spices, coffee or accessories for tea drinking.

Business idea 4 – Opening a culinary school

The investment amount is 300,000 rubles.

The essence of this project - opening of a modern school in which anyone can learn how to cook certain dishes and get acquainted with famous world recipes. This type of useful leisure is becoming especially popular among people of different ages, housewives and office workers who want to join the haute cuisine. It is logical to open such a business in big cities, offering thematic courses.

Implementation of the idea:

Opening a school is a costly project at the first stage that requires significant financial investments. Most of the investment is in renting premises, which can be a cafe, a dining room or a large hall with communications. In addition, you need:

• modern professional equipment;
• several sets of cookware and accessories for cooking;
• wages for a qualified chef with regalia.

After deducting all the overhead costs of utilities, each day the school can bring in 5,000 rubles, fully covering the costs in two to three months.

Business idea 5 – Opening a massage parlor

Estimated investment - 220,000 rubles.

Project basis - opening a specialized salon to provide preventive and therapeutic massage services to clients. This procedure is very popular among visitors of different ages and professions who take their health seriously. Many beauty salons make good profits from conducting sculptural massage courses for weight loss.

Implementation of the idea:

Such a project is characterized by great competition, so the choice of a place to work and the qualifications of future employees are in first place. Expense items will be:

• purchase of special tables and equipment;
• purchasing towels, clothing and work supplies;
• renovation of the premises to bring them into compliance with sanitary standards;
• payment to staff.

At the initial stage, advertising and promotion of the salon with the help of leaflets and social networks is necessary. The average price for a popular back massage starts at 400 rubles. Serving at least 6-8 clients daily, we can talk about a turnover of 3,200 rubles. The price includes overhead and administrative costs of 50%, so the monthly profit can be 48,000 rubles, which allows for self-sufficiency in six months.

Business idea 6 – Organizing scientific and educational shows for children

This service is gaining interest as an alternative to the usual puppet theater or clown performances.

Implementation of the idea:

Such a spectacular project does not require any special financial costs if all organizational aspects are independently developed. The spending plan consists of several points:

• office rental;
• purchase of reagents for experiments;
• costs for equipment, tailoring of suits;
• advertising, website content.

Conducting mysterious experiments with lightning, explosions, and making cotton candy costs clients an average of 5,000 rubles. It is easy to calculate that if 20 such shows are shown per month, the self-sufficiency threshold will be overcome in 2 months. Considering the considerable cost and price of the experimental compositions, we can talk about real income in 4-6 months. Constant advertising is of great importance, and you should not skimp on it.

Business idea 7 – Rufa fish peeling business

Estimated investment - 170,000 rubles.

The essence of the idea consists of providing an exotic peeling service with Rufus fish.

Miniature fish that live in warm countries are excellent at removing unnecessary skin and bringing a feeling of relaxation.

• purchasing a set of Rufus fish;
• a spacious aquarium of a certain shape;
• a complete set of equipment to create ideal conditions;
• comfortable chair for clients.

An unusual idea requires mandatory advertising. The minimum price for treating feet with Rufa fish starts from 600 rubles. When providing additional services (pedicure, massage), it can be significantly increased. With an average workload and one aquarium, the invested amount can be recouped in less than a year.

Business idea 8 – Manufacturing of seals and stamps

The cost of investments is from 150,000 rubles.

Manufacturing stamps and seals for enterprises and organizations is a profitable business that is independent of the season and is in constant demand. Given the growth of small businesses, constant changes during re-registration and name changes, the number of clients will invariably increase. An additional income is the production of seals for archives and libraries.

Implementation of the idea:

To work at the first stage, you can make do with a standard set of sketches, and one trained person can handle the technical work. The main costs associated with opening such a workshop depend on the range of services and the choice of manufacturing technology:

• rental of premises for work;
• acquisition of computer equipment and special equipment;
• purchase of consumables;
• payment of taxes and wages.

Despite the demand for such services, most projects pay for themselves no earlier than 8 months, even when located in large cities, and the breakeven threshold begins after six months. Given the increasing competition in this market, in order to increase profits, new manufacturing methods, modern technological materials and components should be constantly introduced.

Business idea 9 – Sale of electronic cigarettes, hookahs, vapes

The amount of initial investment is about 200,000 rubles.

The basis of a business idea consists of organizing a point of sale of electronic cigarettes, hookahs, vapes, necessary compounds and mixtures for refilling. This is a current type of entrepreneurial activity, absolutely legal and legal, which can bring the owner an average income.

The target audience is people of different ages who want to replace real cigarettes, entertainment places and fashionable hookah bars. The relevance of this idea is also obvious, especially against the backdrop of the introduction of a law banning smoking in public places. Electronic cigarettes do not produce smoke, they produce steam. In addition, sophisticated gadgets are an excellent topic for discussion among connoisseurs of vaping culture.

Implementation of the idea:

The best option for opening such a store would be to use a franchise, which will solve the problem of product supply and support at first. At the opening stage, the main costs fall on the following items:

• renting premises for a retail outlet;
• acquisition of the first batches of products;
• a minimum set of equipment and furniture.

The cheapest electronic cigarettes start at 400 rubles. Therefore, when selling 4,000 thousand worth of products per day, we can talk about the transition to full self-sufficiency after just two months of stable sales. Given the conditions of great competition in this sector, it is necessary to carry out active advertising, constant promotions, and discounts to attract customers.

Business idea 10 – Selling packaged honey

Approximate investment - from 150,000 rubles.

General essence of the proposed business idea consists of organizing the process of purchasing fresh honey from farm apiaries, packaging it and selling it through retail outlets. The relevance is due to the constant increase in demand for high-quality and natural products among metropolitan residents, which are practically not found in modern supermarkets.

Implementation of the idea:

To implement the project, it is necessary to find several apiary farms that will provide raw materials, as well as:

• rent premises for work;
• purchase packaging equipment;
• find a supplier of new packaging;
• develop and order stickers from a printing house.

An additional expense item will be the maintenance of the vehicle and personnel. Main market options: retail chain of stores, wholesale buyers, own retail outlet.

An approximate calculation of profit can be made based on one kilogram of a sweet product: purchasing it at a price of 500 rubles per kilogram, you can package it in 200 gram containers. Selling each jar at a price of 200 rubles allows you to increase your profit to 1000 rubles. By subtracting from this amount the cost of honey, packaging, overhead and organizational expenses, you can get a significant income of 300-400 rubles per kilogram. Good savings are obtained by involving family members, your own car or premises in the process.

Among the disadvantages of this project - its seasonality, which will not allow you to make a profit all year round.

Business idea 11 – Landscaping and finishing of the territory

The initial investment is from 150,000 rubles.

At the heart of a business idea - organizing the complete process of landscaping the territory with laying tiles, paving individual areas, installing fences and laying out flower beds. This service is in demand among owners of private housing construction, shops, recreation centers and industrial enterprises who want to beautifully design paths, parking areas or improve the appearance of the adjacent area.

Implementation of the idea:

Construction materials are purchased by the project customer, therefore the main financial expenses of the entrepreneur are:

• purchasing the tools necessary for the job;
• payment of wages to employees;
• maintenance of office space and warehouse for inventory storage;
• transport services.

The cost of services must be calculated based on an estimate, which must take into account taxes, all time costs, wear and tear and depreciation of construction equipment. The calculation is made for the convenience of the client per square meter. The profit margin is also included in the estimated cost and is at least 20%.

A definite disadvantage of such a project is the complete lack of orders in winter. This period should be devoted to searching for customers, advertising and studying new technologies.

Business idea 12 – Making photo books

The initial investment amount is 150,000 rubles.

An interesting and enjoyable photo book business is available for people who want to engage in creative work. The new service is in definite demand among young parents, married couples and wedding photographers. It consists of producing an individual book-size memorial album from the customer’s photographs.

• purchasing the necessary printing machine;
• purchasing equipment for manual processing of albums;
• training in bookbinding and photo collage design courses;
• advertising of services;
• purchase of consumables.

This project is perfect for implementation in a small town, thanks to the ability to work with orders via the Internet. Having determined the cost of one printed page, it is easy to assume a profit. For example, by stating the price of a sheet and hardcover cover at 100 and 500 rubles, respectively, you can determine the price of one photo book at 1,500 rubles. If the costs amounted to 600 rubles, then each simple order will bring income in the amount of 900 rubles. To attract customers and increase prices, you should add original covers and photo processing.

Business idea 13 – Sports nutrition store

Initial investment - 150,000 rubles.

Such a project involves purchasing from sports nutrition suppliers and selling it through your own store at a premium. The relevance of the business is due to the growing interest in a healthy lifestyle, the cult of a beautiful physique and a certain fashion for sculpted muscles. Sports nutrition is in demand among young people who want to adhere to a certain diet.

Implementation of the idea:

Opening such a store will be profitable in a city with a large number of gyms, health centers and sections. Good walk-through locations could be retail space in hypermarkets, sublease in a large store, or cooperation with a sporting goods department. For full work you will need:

• small room;
• purchase of a trial batch of goods;
• trade equipment and shelving;
• advertising.

The average trade margin for a similar product is 50%. With a monthly turnover of 100,000 rubles, after deducting expenses for the seller’s salary, transport and advertising expenses, a net income of 20,000 rubles remains. By taking on the functions of a seller and handling delivery, the project owner can significantly reduce these cost items.

• thermal showcase for kono-pizza;
• oven;
• special press.

With proper study of the target audience and determination of the place of sale, the monthly sales volume of Kono-pizza can be at least 3,000 pieces.

Business idea 22 – Donut production

The initial investment is 500,000 rubles.

The essence of the idea - organizing a small stationary point for baking donuts with various fillings and selling them to consumers. The modern fast food market, with high competition, requires new players to be original. Therefore, the production of this type of product can be a good investment.

Implementation of the idea:

You should open a small cafe or fast food stall near places with large concentrations of consumers: large shopping centers, recreation parks, near university buildings or a train station. To implement the project you will need:

• acquisition of commercial and production equipment;
• purchasing furniture for visitors;
• designing an attractive point of sale;
• salaries to employees.

If the process is organized outdoors, a specialized van or tent will replace the premises. The device can produce from 250 to 600 delicious products per hour. By correctly combining the place of sale, a large selection of fillings, and high-quality service, you can achieve high profits by placing a 100% trade markup on some types of donuts.

Business idea 23 – Opening a design studio

Preliminary investments - 300,000 rubles.

The essence of this project - opening a small office or studio that provides services for the development of interior design projects, accompanying them at the implementation stage. Such services are becoming increasingly popular against the backdrop of growing interest in individuality, originality of renovations in residential and commercial premises, and the growing well-being of a certain part of the population.

Implementation of the idea:

The main expense item is a well-equipped and properly located office. The best location would be a business center, non-residential premises in the central area with convenient transport links. To organize the process you will need:

• office equipment, high-power personal computers;
• licensed programs;
• furniture for staff, meeting rooms with clients.

In most cases, employee salaries depend on the number and total amount of orders, and the owner is an experienced designer capable of leading serious projects at the initial stage. The initial cost of developing an individual design ranges from 1000 rubles per 1 m2. Therefore, the profitability of such a studio depends only on the talent of the employees and a good advertising component.

Business idea 24 – Opening a jewelry workshop

Initial investments - from 400,000 rubles.

The project is based on the idea of ​​equipping a modern jewelry workshop, which provides the population with services for cleaning, repairing expensive jewelry, and producing exclusive and original products. Such a business project will be relevant due to low competition and consistently high demand for products made of precious metals.

Implementation of the idea:

The location for opening should be chosen carefully, being located near jewelry stores or renting a few meters in jewelry stores. This will help solve the problem of security and the constant flow of customers who want to have their ring or bracelet adjusted to size after purchase.

The main costs in implementing the idea are:

• acquisition of modern equipment and tools for repairs;
• design of premises, showcases and waiting areas for clients;
• expenses for advertising, signage;
• payment for services to a qualified employee.

Most of the jewelry repair services offered are inexpensive, so you can have a high income only by working for a good reputation, completing orders with high quality and on time. This will help attract clients for more expensive exclusive orders, which can make up a significant part of the profit and help the project pay for itself in a minimum period of time.

Business idea 25 – Skydiving

The essence of the idea - opening of a compact drop zone for organizing a full cycle of parachute jumps, including training for beginners and training for professional teams. The growing interest in adrenaline sports and active recreation makes this type of business quite relevant. There is little competition in the market for such services, which allows you to quickly fill a vacant niche.

Implementation of the idea:

Opening a project will require large investments due to the characteristics of the organization:

• renting a runway, concluding an agreement with an organization that operates flights and has the appropriate license;
• purchasing special equipment and uniforms;
• salary of the team of instructors;
• expenses to ensure a comfortable stay for clients.

The minimum level of profitability of such drop zones is at least 10% and reaches 60% for well-known and stably operating ones. Additional income can be obtained from providing comprehensive services for training professional teams, excursions, arranging a small campsite or organizing fast food in the jumping zone. The disadvantage is the seasonality of this business project and the search for real professionals to work as instructors.

Business idea 26 – Opening a cafe on wheels

Minimum investment - 450,000 rubles.

The essence of such a project - opening a fully equipped mobile cafe in an equipped trailer, offering visitors fresh fast food and drinks. The choice of product option (pies, shawarma, pancakes, hot sandwiches) should be made after a thorough analysis of the market for such services in the city. Such a project will be relevant only if the location for implementation is correctly selected.

Implementation of the idea:

To open, the best option in terms of cost and convenience would be to purchase an equipped and converted trailer that has access to minimal utilities, a stove, and a display case. In addition, it requires certain costs:

• purchase of high-quality semi-finished products;
• salesperson's salary;
• payment for rent of land.

It is cost-effective to open such points near high-traffic areas: train stations, markets, bus stops and clinics. With an average check of 30 rubles and a minimum number of clients of 200 people per day, we can talk about a good daily turnover of 6,000 rubles. This will allow the project to pay off in 4-5 months, especially with the constant development of the range and high quality of service.

Business idea 27 – Opening a mini-coffee shop

Minimum investment - 400,000 rubles.

The essence of the business idea - arrangement of a small coffee shop for preparing several varieties and types of coffee, selling it to consumers in convenient containers. Such practical mini-coffee shops are especially popular among fans of the aromatic drink of all ages. The relevance of this type of business is possible by choosing the optimal location and organizing high-quality and fast service.

Implementation of the idea:

For a successful project, an excellent option would be a small mobile coffee shop without tables for visitors or concluding a franchise agreement with a well-promoted and established brand. The second option makes searching easier:

• suppliers of raw materials for work, packaging materials;
• employee training;
• preparation of necessary documents;
• purchasing equipment for preparing and selling the drink.

In most cases, it is impossible to achieve high profits without offering visitors additional services: snacks, confectionery, original toppings and additives. An excellent profitability level is considered to be 40%, which will allow the project to recoup in 4 months, but requires maintaining a high pace of work.

Implementation of the idea:

The main technical work on the manufacture and installation of self-leveling floors is carried out at the customer’s site, so there is no need to equip a special workshop.

We answer the question of what types of businesses are relevant in 2017. Which areas of investment are promising and why. After reading the article, you will find out which areas of business will be profitable throughout this year.

Business 2017: what is relevant in Russia despite difficult conditions

To understand what business is relevant now, you need to analyze the trends of 2016 and determine what is in demand during the crisis in Russia. The ban on the import of products from abroad, the increase in the cost of some goods, and the decline in the solvency of the population have greatly affected the work of entrepreneurs over the past two years. As a result, new trends have emerged and business has adapted to the modern economic situation.

Low-price goods, domestically produced products and fast food began to be in demand. Let’s take a closer look at which business areas are relevant now and will continue to develop in 2017.

Catering business: what’s trending now

Catering enterprises are one of the most profitable areas of business. But not all establishment formats are profitable. Restaurants are in a difficult situation. The target audience has decreased, customers began to save on food and moved to a lower price segment.

Fast foods, street foods, canteens and pizzerias are experiencing a real boom. In 2016, the demand for chain establishments with an average bill of 500 rubles increased. In them, customers appreciate the familiar menu, design, regular promotions, and adherence to uniform standards of quality and service.

In large cities of Russia, interest in a healthy lifestyle is growing, which is reflected in nutrition. This trend has given rise to a new format of establishments - healthy fast food and street food, juice bars and salad bars. Their feature: focus on healthy products and their minimal processing, coupled with fast service.

The expansion of the catering market has led to tougher competition. Clients have become more selective. In addition to the taste and cost of the dishes, great attention is paid to the speed of service. For delivery services, the “in 60 minutes or free” principle has already become an indicator of competitiveness.

The format of food trucks and cafes on wheels is developing dynamically. Just a couple of years ago there were only a few cars per large city. In 2016, their number increased several dozen times. The main advantage of the “on wheels” format is mobility. An entrepreneur has the opportunity to study different territories and find out where traffic is higher.

Current trends in the restaurant business for 2017:

Hotel business: preparation for the Championship and the problem of non-residential stock

More and more Russians prefer domestic resorts and historical monuments. In addition, foreigners have increased interest in Russian cities. In 2016, Moscow and St. Petersburg became one of the most visited cities in the world. Favorable conditions have emerged for the development of the hotel business.

Owners of hotels and hostels need to take into account changes in legislation. The most significant of them is the law on the classification and placement of commercial organizations in the housing stock.

Important international events - FIFA 2018 and the FIFA Confederations Cup 2017 - will lead to the active development of the hotel business. Football matches will be held in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan, Yekaterinburg and 5 other cities in Russia.

Due to the arrival of fans and tourists, the occupancy of the hotel rooms will reach its maximum. Therefore, opening a hotel business now will have a long-term perspective.

The most relevant in the segment will be hostels and mini-hotels. The determining factor is the pricing policy: low cost attracts more guests. Tourists appreciate the family atmosphere of small hotels. Secondly, the owner can independently manage the business, this allows him to reduce staff to a minimum and increase profits.

Trading in 2017: profitable directions

The trade sector remains in demand regardless of external factors. People always need to buy food, clothing, household and hygiene items. Which areas of trade will become the most relevant in 2017:

• Goods for children. Stabilization of the socio-economic situation in the country will lead to an increase in the birth rate. As a result, the demand for children's clothing, food, and furniture will increase.
• Food stores. In 2017, demand for economy-class goods will continue, especially domestic analogues of foreign products. The trend toward healthy eating will generate interest in fresh, organic fruits and vegetables. In new areas of large cities, convenience store formats remain the most popular.
• Online stores. Buyers are attracted by the low price and the possibility of delivery. This is a profitable solution for entrepreneurs without experience. Investments are minimal.
• Vending machines. In places with high foot traffic, drinks and snacks from vending machines are in demand. The ease of organizing a business and the autonomy of trade are advantages for beginning entrepreneurs.

What business is profitable to open in 2017

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

1. Fixed price stores

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

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

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

4. Catering franchises

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

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

5. Self-service car washes

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

6. Hotel business and consumer services enterprises

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

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

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