Engage in a small town without investment. Big business ideas in a small town

What is profitable to trade in a small town? What is the best business to do at home? How to open your business with minimum investment?

Working for yourself is like growing up. Anyone who wants to gain independence, sooner or later leaves his familiar place - leaves the hired service and begins to work exclusively for himself.

Good, the choice of directions for personal business is not limited by anything. The only problem is to find the kind of activity that will really reveal your talents and abilities to the fullest.

This is Denis Kuderin, an expert of the HeatherBober portal on economic and financial issues. V new article I will tell, what business to do to earn a lot and consistently, what business ideas are the most promising today and now, and what is more profitable - a YouTube channel or a home photo studio.

Do not switch - you will learn a lot of interesting things.

1. Business with minimal investment - stop work and start earn

There is an opinion that a successful businessman needs to be born. Like, this requires a special mindset, extraordinary abilities and a specific character. Millions of people believe that entrepreneurship is not for them. That they can't work for themselves. That their business will burn out. That they don't know how to count money, etc.

Of course, we are born into the world with different abilities and inclinations, there is no doubt about that.

However, I personally prefer this point of view: every person from birth is an entrepreneur. When he comes into the world, he already has ready-made company- himself. It depends only on you whether this company will become successful. You are the manager of this firm, its general manager and a controlling shareholder.

Thousands of people are working for themselves right now. They do not expect a salary from the employer, they are not afraid of being fired, they themselves regulate their working day.

This does not mean that their life is a continuous euphoria. There are enough problems in the life of a businessman. Perhaps there are even more of them than a hired worker. But all the flaws free swimming"outweighs the fat plus - you become the master of your life and your time set your own goals and prioritize.

And a few more benefits:

• a wide range of destinations for commercial activities - if you want, teach everyone who wants to paint in your own studio, if you want, make soap in the garage;
• income is unlimited– you yourself set the upper limit in accordance with your ambitions and goals;
• free schedule, vacation not when allowed, but when they wanted- you independently manage your main asset - time;
• you are not tied to the workplace- work where you want: at home, in the garage, in an Internet cafe, on a personal plot;
• you set the rules yourself– no one obliges you to follow strict rules and schedule.

If in one direction of business it was not possible to achieve results, you always have the right to change the direction of activity to a diametrically opposite one. The online business didn’t work out, get involved in purely earthly technologies - open a shawarma diner or get busy.

I have a friend who has dealt successively in: pet food, video equipment, Indian gems and jewelry (he brought from India himself), equipment for private (home) cinemas, commercial real estate, information products.

Not to say that in every type of activity he suffered a fiasco - on the contrary, reaching a certain level, he realized that he was losing interest in the chosen topic, and saw broader prospects in another area.

But do not confuse freedom with slovenliness, indifference and projectionism. A naturally lazy and undisciplined person is unlikely to achieve serious success in business. Money will not be transferred to your account on its own– simply because you declared yourself an entrepreneur.

You will definitely have to work hard and persevere. Perhaps even more than in the office or at work. You will need self-control, self-confidence, the ability to calculate options and make decisions independently.

Being an entrepreneur means working hard and multitasking.

Is it necessary to have initial capital? It all depends on the type of activity you plan to do. If you open an online store, you will have to buy goods and launch a website. And this requires money.

Similarly with production - consumables and equipment require investments. But there are different options - to lease, rent, find investors.

But if you sell exclusively intellectual services, then capital is not required. All you have to do is waste your time. But time does not pay off immediately. It is necessary to acquire clients, develop skills, ideally - undergo training.

Throw away the hope that after a couple of weeks or even months after starting a business, gold coins will fall into your wallet. Business, especially small business, is patience and painstaking work. Everything will be, but not immediately - remember this phrase!

And for those who need a reliable and proven option with a guarantee of profitability, we offer to invest in a ready-made business - to purchase a franchise from a company. The co-owner of a network of Japanese and Pan-Asian restaurants is Alex Yanovsky, an entrepreneur with 20 years of experience, the owner of his own School “Business behind Glass”.

The founders of HeatherBeaver magazine know Alex personally - his business schemes really work and generate income.

Moreover, our good friend Sergey opened a business in the city of Maikop under this franchise - he launched a point in the "island" format. His investment of 1.5 million rubles paid off in six months. So we can safely recommend his franchise to both beginners and experienced businessmen.

2. 5 popular business directions

In fact, there are more directions, but these five are proven and well-trodden paths, along which thousands of novice businessmen like you are successfully and confidently walking right now.

Let's take a look at all the pros and features the most popular areas of small and medium business.

1) Resale of goods

The most public type of business.

Its principle is simple and has not changed since ancient times: buy goods in bulk in one place at a low price and resell in another place for a higher price.

Stable incomes bring those goods that everyone needs - food, clothing, shoes, household chemicals, cosmetics. On the market consumer goods billions of turnovers and the same profits.

Another thing is that large corporations take the lion's share. Beginners are left to look for narrow niches and maneuver between mass-market products and exclusive goods.

Selecting your business profile focus not only on demand, but also on the state of the economy. For example, during a crisis, most people are not up to luxury - Swiss fountain pens with a platinum nib are unlikely to be sold quickly and profitably in a small town where the average salary is equal to half the cost of this same fountain pen.

In such settlements it is worth choosing more hot commodity – for example, open a stock store with inexpensive branded clothing. Or a smartphone store - analogues of well-known companies, but originally from the People's Republic of China.

Small towns, on the one hand, offer excellent prospects, on the other hand, they are unpredictable in terms of business development.

The table will outline the situation with trade in small towns more clearly:

The universal salvation for any modern trade is the Internet. Here the audience is not limited geographically. Live in Torzhok, and send goods even to Moscow, even to Nizhny Novgorod.

2) Service provision

It is not necessary to sell material things. Professional services are no less in demand than clothing or food.

Many examples:

• accounting services;
• printing center;
• Interior design;
• writing texts to order;
• organization of banquets;
• creation and promotion of sites;
• Internet Marketing;
• Pizza delivery;
• repair of bicycles or household appliances;
• writing term papers etc.

Any business that you understand or want to understand will do. The modern world is differentiated and belongs to narrow specialists. The family lawyer, tutor, commercial writer and other specialties are no longer a curiosity and are constantly required.

3) Production

More and more small enterprises are opening in the Russian Federation: in the context of the crisis and sanctions, domestic producers entered new markets.

They are in stable demand natural food. If we focus on quality, then even the relative high cost of production will pay off due to a higher price. The modern consumer is ready to overpay for healthy and environmentally friendly products.

More details about production activities find in the article "".

4) Real estate transactions

An option for those who have a solid start-up capital. The real estate market, despite gloomy forecasts, continues to bring profit to owners of liquid housing. Earnings on rent, sales and other transactions with residential and non-residential premises are traditionally high.

5) Online business

The most promising modern direction. And the least expensive if you sell not a product, but your skills or services via the Internet.

But first you need to master at least one of the most sought-after professions - a website designer, SEO specialist, copywriter, social network administrator. Or earn on your website, affiliate programs.

This is not as difficult as it seems - the main thing is not to be lazy and not stay too long in the status of a beginner. If you want to succeed, read the great article on our website, which is called "".

3. What kind of business you can do - TOP 10 ideas for a novice businessman

Let's get down to specifics.

A dozen promising ideas for beginners with minimal experience.

1) Homemade soap making

The first private soap makers of our time made soap right in their apartments. Some still do this, but it is better to have a separate room for these purposes.

I have a friend who lives in Chisinau. Katerina started her own soap making 7 years ago. The first experiments - multi-colored ellipses of soap with herbal scents, which she sent me as product samples - cost her too much. In addition, in Moldova, the demand for this product was almost zero.

Gradually, she improved the technology, accumulated a client base and now has a full-fledged online store, where, in addition to designer soap, it is full of other exclusive and natural products. The high price does not bother buyers from Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities. They care about quality, original performance and purely natural ingredients.

2) Tutoring

If you are fluent in foreign languages, six-string guitar, school subjects, other useful skills and knowledge, no one will forbid you share your experience with others for money.

Thanks to Skype you can teach people all over the world

3) Conducting corporate parties and holidays

An idea for people with organizational skills and public speaking skills. Creative thinking, self-confidence and a little courage, and you will become the soul of any audience.

The ingredients for success are: constant practice, original scripts, competent design of the premises, constantly changing repertoire.

4) Equipment repair

If you were born with a screwdriver in your hands, clearly understand how household appliances work, understand electronics, why not turn your skills into a source of income?

Modern technology has a low margin of safety. Most people find it cheaper to fix their washing machine than to buy a new one. Meanwhile, the repair of one "washer" costs from 2 to 5 thousand rubles . Several orders a day, and the income will be enough not only for bread and butter, but also for annual vacation on Bali.

Minimal costs - tools, diagnostic equipment, spare parts. If there is a garage, then the problem of renting a room disappears. large equipment can be repaired at the customer's home.

5) Food delivery

In Novosibirsk, where I live, you can order anything to your home or office, from hot corn to a full meal from a Chinese restaurant.

Such a business requires investments - renting premises and vehicles, purchasing raw materials, paying employees. Permits from the sanitary services are needed: the room must have ventilation, all the necessary communications, and employees must have sanitary books.

6) Cargo transportation

Are you a truck owner? Take care of the transportation of oversized cargo. You don't even have to buy a car rent or lease it.

You will need 2-3 responsible workers, and not people from the street, but experienced riggers who know how to properly transport furniture and household appliances, how to pack fragile goods, how to lower a piano from the third floor.

7) Video channel on YouTube

The YouTube channel has over a billion viewers. This is every third Internet user on the planet. Promoted TV channels bring their owners millions of dollars in profits. Some of the presenters are not even 15 years old.

The ingredients for success are:

• popular destination– video games, beauty blog, TOPs and lists, entertainment;
• branded chip– original image, unique format;
• competent promotion- use professional methods.

Most Internet users are young people brought up on gadgets. They prefer to see once rather than read a long text, which is why vlogs are so popular.

A small "educational program" from popular YouTube video bloggers:

8) Home photo studio

You will learn how to take satisfactory pictures in a couple of weeks. You will need professional equipment for shooting and equipment for printing photos. And then work in the format that you prefer - a photo for documents, wedding photo-video shooting, albums proms, image processing and photomontage.

Already six months after the start of her career, she was invited to major city events as an official photo chronicler. I don’t know why, but customers like her photographs even more than those of experienced professionals.

9) Growing vegetables and fruits in a greenhouse

An idea for those who are interested in gardening and horticulture. One greenhouse will give you several crops a year, and people need fruits, herbs, vegetables and flowers every day.

Before buying a greenhouse and seedlings, take care of the product market, study competitive environment, price, read special literature and thematic sites.

Greenhouse is a great tool for your own business

Additional income: canning, processing and freezing of vegetables, sale of seedlings and seeds.

But this is a long-term business for the patient and sensible. If you want, read the special publication.

10) Seasonal storage of tires, skis, bicycles

Income close to passive. A very cute idea. You just need to prepare the room: an empty garage is best suited for these purposes. Install shelves, insulate the room, install a security system. Store here winter tires, sleds, skis, snowboards in summer, bicycles, scooters, summer tires, etc. in winter.

4. Franchise business - minimum risk, maximum benefit

Restaurant Franchise - ready business model with a guaranteed payback and a well-established scheme of work. You acquire not only the right to open a restaurant under a sign known throughout the country, but also effective marketing technologies, unique recipes and licensed equipment.

At the time of this writing, 125 franchise restaurants have already been opened in 80 cities of Russia, China, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and other countries.

Sushi Master outlets are several modern formats of restaurants with high-quality glass and natural wood finishes. Thoughtful design and delicious food guarantee a constant influx of visitors. If hundreds of other people have done it, it will definitely work for you!

The scheme of work is as follows:

1. You get acquainted with the activities of Sushi Master on the official website of the company and apply for franchising.
2. Pay lump sum and sign a contract.
3. Get trained and instructed in training center company (Krasnodar).
4. Together with your assistants, you select a place for a restaurant and build it.
5. Open a point of sale, implement marketing and management strategies.
6. Analyze the results of the work, correct it under the guidance of mentors.
7. Bring the restaurant to a stable monthly profit.

Approximate investment size 1.4 to 4 million rubles . Opening period - from 3 to 6 months. If necessary, you will be assisted by a professional start-up team.

Multi-format is another unique feature of the company. You yourself choose the desired format of the restaurant - "food court", "street", "island" or classic - depending on the location, region, characteristics of the local public.

A predictable business with a well-thought-out structure is an investment tool, the effectiveness of which has already been proven. Choosing this option, you immediately insure yourself against hundreds of risks that are relevant for all entrepreneurs who open their business from scratch.

The universal advice that I give to all, without exception, novice businessmen: the business you are doing should, as they say, “warm” you. If you like the direction, economic wisdom will open up by itself, along the way.

And remember - in any case there is a risk of failure. Even a great idea doesn't always work. A huge number of accomplished businessmen started with failures. Failed projects - best school business.

Tip 1. Analyze the popularity and relevance of the niche

The Internet will help you - use the achievements of civilization. In particular, the Wordstat resource will help you find out the number of key questions for certain products and services in your area.

Visit thematic forums and groups - people, as a rule, are willing to share their personal experience and knowledge. If you want to sell a rare product, make a test sale on Avito.

As an entrepreneur, you understand better than anyone that the location of a business is extremely important. What kind of business will become profitable in a small town? There are significant differences between doing business in a small city and a large one that need to be emphasized.

On the one hand, the narrow market of a small town increases the risk of error, on the other hand, it provides an excellent opportunity to form strong relationships with customers. The trick is to figure out which business is right for the small town.

"You just have to pay attention to what people need and what hasn't been done" (Russell Simmons, founder of Def Jem Recordings).

Successful business in a small town

Definitions of a small town vary, but the average is a small town with a population of less than 100,000. There are 935 small towns in Russia, where about 30 million people live - encouraging numbers for starting a real business. Nevertheless, it is necessary to take into account and evaluate a number of factors that can affect the success of the enterprise.

Disadvantages of small towns for starting a business

1. Consumer Habits: If a small town is close enough to a large one, people may go shopping there. Both in order to save money and for a wider selection of goods.
2. In a small town, the target markets and niches are much smaller than they would be in a large city. Fewer people means less business. Even grabbing a great location in the center, sales will be lower than in a comparable business in a large city.
3. The level of wages in the regions is lower than in cities with a million population, which gives rise to two problems: the outflow of qualified personnel and the low purchasing power of the population.

Advantages of small towns

1. Personalized service - large chains follow their own standards, while small businesses respond faster to changes in residents' preferences.
2. Limited competition - there are fewer entrepreneurs in small towns, and there is a chance to fill an empty niche.
3. Advertising and marketing efforts are more cost effective in a small town. "Word of mouth" quickly spreads information about the new enterprise.
4. A business for a small town can be opened with minimal investment, since the cost of real estate, rental and tax rates are noticeably lower than in large settlements.

Store chain founder wal mart Sam Walton started retailing in the small town of Bentonville with a population of 7,000: " There are so many more business opportunities out there in small town America than I could ever dream of.". examples of successful and profitable business in small towns of Russia there are also enough, we will talk about some of them below.

What kind of business to open in a small town

How to start a business in a small town? Research, plan, implementation are the main steps in starting a small business. Start from the needs of the citizens and your own abilities.

They say “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” and the same can be said for the best small business ideas. The options for starting a business seem endless, but the "best" idea will be the one that fits the personality of the entrepreneur.

• What are your interests and skills?
• What are you good at?
• Who is your client?
• What problems of potential buyers can you solve?

The answers to these questions will point you in the right direction. Defining the business concept is a key moment at the planning stage. Where do you see yourself in a few years in business, and what benefits do you offer to the public?

Small Business Startup Options

There are only three ways to create a small business in a small town:

1. Start a small business on your own: a store or agency that is not in the city. If you are the first, it will generate local interest in your company.
2. Buy an existing business. Purchase advantage ready business is a shorter period of attracting customers. Residents already know the place well and the path has been beaten.
3. . Big company offers support at all stages of starting a business, plus a recognizable brand, which also benefits you.

Foreign business brokers conduct a small study - they ask local residents what kind of business the city needs; consider the experience of neighboring small settlements.

Promising areas for small businesses

• Serving the local market. Are there goods or services that are not represented in the town? For many goods, residents go to large cities only because they cannot be bought near the house.
• Complementing an existing business. If, for example, there are many farms near the city, equipment for the repair and maintenance of agricultural machinery will be in demand.
• Selling local products in another city.
• Tourist orientation. If the city is highly attractive to tourists, it makes sense to work to sell local products, souvenirs and services for visitors.

For example - Suzdal, a small town Vladimir region, receives about one and a half million tourists a year.

The number of cafes, restaurants, bathhouses and hotels in the city significantly exceeds the needs of local residents and opens up great opportunities, including for new businesses.

Expert knowledge for existing business.

Business owners often need help with accounting, cleaning, etc. This business in a small town will be profitable as long as there are trading and manufacturing enterprises.

The grand opening of a new business should not be accompanied by the booming echo of an empty room - after the indispensable stage of researching the existing state of affairs in the city is completed, you can begin to implement the plan.

small town business ideas

What kind of business will be profitable in a small town? In order not to reinvent the wheel, you need to focus on those activities that are always in demand. Remember Maslow's pyramid and focus on meeting the basic needs of residents.

Grocery store

This is perhaps the most obvious business choice to open in a small town. Doesn't sound too sexy, but it really is one of the best recommendations, and something the city always needs.

If there is any federal network in the locality, it is unlikely that it will be possible to compete with prices. The only way out is to look for lines that are not present in the assortment of the network retailer: meat and dairy products of local producers, alcoholic drinks, corresponding to the tastes and wallets of residents, etc.

The convenience store format has survived in large cities, despite the advent of big players, and is still in demand in small towns.

Lyubov Levicheva thinks a grocery store is a good business idea for a woman in a small town. It is women who puzzle over the question "what to cook for breakfast, lunch and dinner." And who knows better what the hostess needs than the hostesses themselves? Having opened a shop in the city of Maloarkhangelsk, Oryol region, with a population of only 3,300 inhabitants, she gradually achieved a confident and stable profit.

« I can help you?” – in small towns, this sounds like a genuine offer of help, not a cliché taught by a salesman. Friendliness, knowledge of local characteristics and needs - strengths small business.

“There is only one boss - the Client. He can fire everyone in the company, down to the director, if he spends the money somewhere else.” (Sam Walton, Wal-Mart)

When thinking about what kind of business to do in a small town, evaluate how densely occupied the catering niche is. Very often in small towns there is one, maximum - two establishments where you can celebrate an anniversary or just sit with friends.

The restaurant business around the world generates decent income and is able to stand the test of time if well managed. A big plus is that the owner has the exclusive right to set prices and menus, focusing on the financial capabilities of local residents or tourists.

Alternatively, consider buying a franchise. " Dodo Pizza» As an experiment, in 2015, she gave a franchise to an entrepreneur from the city of Velsk, Arkhangelsk Region. If you have ever been in those parts, then imagine the deserted northern roads, deserted streets and a town with twenty thousand inhabitants. All financial indicators of the experimental pizzeria are now available online. A curious fact turned out - pizza delivery brings more money than cafe patrons.

When opening a cafe or restaurant in a small town, think about services that bring benefits and convenience to customers: free delivery, discount system for regular customers, and so on.

• In Italy, such a system is popular - a cafe offers dishes at different prices: one price if you want to sit in a restaurant, and another, smaller one - if you want to take the packaged food with you.

Even Rapunzel needs hair care. Regardless of age and gender, people need to visit a beauty salon several times a year (more precisely, a dozen or several dozen times a year). Men put their hair in order about once a month, women need not only a haircut, but also manicures, pedicures, and makeup. A beauty salon is a popular type of business in both a small and a big city.

An additional plus worth taking into account is the sale of cosmetics in the salon. It is rare to find quality brands in small towns. The recommendations of the master and the presence of a choice of care products will increase the turnover, if not by an order of magnitude, then at least several times.

Optics store

Another profitable small business idea in a small town is an optics salon. If you open the site Rosstat, you can find information that the population of small towns " getting old»: only 25% of students return to their native land. Age-related vision problems, plus the dominance of computers and smartphones among young people, open up wide prospects for small businesses in this area.

There are several options here. You can start with the sale of finished products - this does not require licensing and the purchase of sophisticated equipment. The trading area of ​​such a "point" can be literally a dozen square meters. The cost of ready-made glasses, dispensed according to an ophthalmologist's prescription, starts from 300 rubles. The average markup on Chinese-made prescription glasses fluctuates from 150% to 300%. By opening a business selling finished products, you can assess the demand for a service without risking significant investments.

The second option is more complex and requires significant financial investments: to open a full-fledged optics salon. You will need equipment, a licensed specialist and a facility that meets the requirements of the Ministry of Health.

• The best solution is to go from small to large. Calculate possible business prospects, starting with trading points, and either stay on your own or expand the business.

Generally, medical services are in constant demand both in large and small cities of Russia. The lack of specialists, queues and the lack of special equipment in shareware polyclinics leave wide scope forimplementation of small business ideas. Taking tests at home or in the office under the franchise brand " Invitro" and " Hemacode”, which are widespread in medium and large cities - the opportunity to start a business in a small city.

Fitness club

The gym does not have to be a primitive "rocking chair" or an elite club for the elite. The format of an inexpensive fitness club is gaining momentum. Affordable subscription, competent instructors, wellness programs are the key to business success in a small town.

In Chelyabinsk, entrepreneurs followed the experience of foreign colleagues and opened a gym that meets the best standards in terms of the quality of exercise equipment, but does not provide additional services. Towels and water coolers are not available in the hall, but you can bring your own water and towels. The annual cost of a subscription, which is important for residents of small towns, starts from six thousand rubles.

Number of adherents healthy lifestyle life is growing in leaps and bounds, “catch the wave” is the best thing that can happen to an entrepreneur.

Interior items

A profitable business in a small town is based on the enduring desire of people to improve and decorate their lives. Most likely, if you do not have a network of outlets, you will have to turn to intermediaries who import large quantities of Chinese goods.

Chinese furniture, vases, dishes and other interior decor items have undeniable advantages – low price, acceptable quality and originality of design.

Folding and beautiful tables, chairs and sofas are a salvation for owners of small apartments. Affordable price, even in comparison with local manufacturers, is an obvious bonus.

Inexpensive clothing store

A profitable small business can be an inexpensive clothing store in a small town. Considering the low level of income of the local population, as well as consumption patterns, you can think about three options for clothing stores:

• discounter;
• second hand;
• commission shop.

All three types of clothing stores are experiencing a boom, which is associated with fluctuations in the dollar and euro in last years. Cheap Chinese goods, European second-hand - finding suppliers and franchisors on the Internet is a matter of a couple of clicks.

Twenty kilometers from Tashtagol, a small town in the Kemerovo region, is the village of Sheregesh - the center of attraction for skiers throughout the country (a million tourists in a winter is a lot). One of the few available options for leisure and additional education for children here is Mount Zelenaya. Ski clothing, shoes and equipment costquite expensive, forcing residents to sell what children have grown out of. A thrift store is a way to save money, sell what you don't need and buy what you need at a reasonable price. Brokering and offering services on a commission basis is a lucrative small town business with specific needs.

Trading as a business in a small town

Not everyone wants to live in a metropolis, and many people are actually doomed to exist in small towns and villages, where it is almost impossible to find a job. Opening your business in such places also often does not bode well: all the best niches are already occupied, and the markets are divided. Even if we take the in-demand lines of business for small towns, who needs another 10th building materials store in a row or another pharmacy when there are already 3 others around the corner. What should a person with little capital invest in in such conditions in order to provide himself with a stable income for years? – the answer is obvious: in yourself.

Unlike most traditional types of business suitable for small towns, trading does not depend on the number of clients, has no seasons, and requires a minimum of investment. All you need is internet access and a laptop with minimal specs.

You can make great money both during the growth of the economy and in the most difficult crises, since you can earn money on the stock exchanges not only with growth, but also with falling prices.

For a professional, his work is real business in which you work only for yourself, bearing full responsibility for the decisions you make. As in traditional entrepreneurship, you will need a certain start-up capital ( $300-3000 ), the larger the size of which, the faster and safer the trading in the financial markets will be and the larger the profit will be.

Trading is not a casino or a toss game where you can rely solely on chance, just like in serious business, it is important to constantly set clear goals, analyze the markets and correctly assess risks, because otherwise you can quickly end up with nothing .

Our site is dedicated to the topic of making money with your own mind on stock exchanges, in the menu you can find many headings for various assets and markets.

Before starting your own business, it is very important to understand that any business always comes with risk. The most difficult year for any business is the first. During these 12 months, more than 90% of all newly opened cases are closed or burned out. If, in comparison, we take the chance of being fired from a job, then it will be lower even with a low-skilled employee.

But if your business does not fail and makes a profit, then it will be money that cannot be compared with the average salary in your region, of course. Business is work for you and your pocket, not your work for your boss and someone else. Therefore, your task before opening a business is to choose the right direction and think through all the details in order to reduce the risk to a minimum.

If you provide a competent approach to your business, then in the end the business will go uphill, it will expand, gain popularity and new customers and, as a result, bring you more and more profit.

Let's talk about what is relevant, from a business point of view in 2018, and consider the TOP 9 ideas.

Idea number 1: Cafe (mini-pizzeria)

Catering is always a profitable and cost-effective business. But, of course, there are also difficulties here. But, as you know, the more difficulties, the higher the profit. Investments in the cafe will be decent, plus you will need to resolve all issues regarding staff, sanitation, freshness of food and other nuances.

We suggest you open a small pizzeria where you can have a quick bite to eat during a break, on your way to work or while waiting for transport. For this, a small tent is best suited, where you can place a couple of tables, chairs and organize a small kitchenette.

For the full functioning of such an enterprise, you will need only a couple of employees who will work in shifts and perform all duties from cooking and paying customers to wet cleaning after the shift. You will be responsible for accounting, advertising and other organizational issues.

Why pizza? Well, because it is a high-calorie and beloved by all product. Your task is to make your dishes original, tasty and affordable for visitors. If this is the case, then there will be no people from customers. even if there are competitors nearby, then the main thing is that they do not offer the same goods that you will have. Therefore, it is not worth opening such a cafe next to another pizzeria.

A nice bonus for visitors is the delivery of fresh pizza for free in the area, ordering it by phone and promotions for large orders.

Idea #2: Beauty Salon

Opening a salon where you can carry out cosmetic procedures, get a haircut, styling, manicure and pedicure is also a popular option. This business is profitable, interesting and profitable business for woman. But nothing prevents a man from doing such a thing.

Here, first of all, you need to understand for yourself what services you will provide in your salon, and from this you can already draw conclusions about the initial investment, monthly expenses, personnel and other issues.

A wonderful option with a small budget would be in a one-room room, where there will be a couple of hairdressers and a manicure table. Low prices for services that can be performed by universal masters, with low investments, will bring a fairly decent income, allowing you to expand in the future and begin to provide a wider range of services to clients.

The most important thing is the quality of work, the better your employees work, the more satisfied customers there will be, and then many will know about you by word of mouth and the whole area will go to you, especially if there are no competing salons nearby.

Idea #3: Shoe repair

Every successful businessman knows that a pledge good income is a sought after business. Everyone wears shoes, almost everyone has a pair of shoes that is very valuable to him and he would not want to just throw it away if the zipper breaks, the heel is worn out or some other problem. In this case, a person goes to a shoe repairman.

But in winter, such services are especially important, because winter shoes are what they buy, mainly for more than one season and good quality. And if suddenly a heel breaks in frost and snow or lightning breaks, then it will be necessary to urgently and quickly restore everything.

There are no special expenses for opening a shoe repair business. It will be enough just to rent a corner in a very passable place and place a sign nearby indicating how to find you if someone needs it. Plus, you need to purchase the necessary materials and a workbench. And then it remains only to wait for the influx of customers.

Such a business can be opened together with the repair of clothes, but then a little more investment will be required, but then two craftsmen will not be bored working in the same closet. As they say, a happy employee is a good employee.

Idea #4: Veterinary Clinic

Many people have pets today. Many cat and dog lovers even make money by selling purebred kittens and puppies. But, unfortunately, it happens that the animal can get sick or he needs any preventive procedures.

If you love animals, then for you it will be not only profitable, but also an interesting business with minimal investment. If you have a veterinary education, it will, of course, be easier for you to cope with the organization and planning of work, but even without it, it is quite possible to devote yourself to this area by studying organizational issues and hiring competent specialists for work.

In a small city, there is unlikely to be much competition in this area, and if the city, or at least some of its part, specializes in animal husbandry, farming, and agriculture, then your business will be in great demand.

This is where you will need to decide whether you will provide animal health care yourself or hire a specialist. Next, you need to choose appropriate place to organize a clinic, equip the premises, purchase consumables, furniture and medicines and advertise. Clients will not keep themselves waiting long.

Idea #5: Appliance Repair

Household appliances are in the house of every person. Therefore, starting a business based on the repair of such equipment is in demand and profitable. Again, you can hire employees and set up a workshop or provide home visit services to a client.

With the necessary skills, you can engage in the provision of repair services on your own, advertising your business through the Internet and ads.

To start such a large initial investment will not be required, you will only need to purchase tools, the most popular types of spare parts and consumables, and you can wait for calls and work orders.

If there are enough customers, then it would make sense to rent a room for a workshop, where you can pick up equipment for complex repairs or where customers will bring it on their own.

Idea #6: Clothing Store

The business of inexpensive and high-quality clothing is probably one of the most sought-after areas for today. Organizing such a business in a small town is not difficult. Even if competitors settle near you, then all customers will drop in on you, because the range and prices may vary.

The first option for such a business is to rent a room and open a boutique in it. You can work, or you can come up with everything yourself. It all depends on your desire and initial budget. The emphasis should be on quality at an affordable cost and sell products that can be worn every day:

• T-shirts;
• home clothes;
• Inexpensive outerwear;
• Children's clothing;
• Underwear.

The second and very convenient option is the organization of an online store. In this case, you can save on rent, but you will have to invest more in advertising, creating and promoting the site. Such a business does not impose special requirements on its owner. Buy wholesale and cheaper, and sell retail and more expensive. Everything is simple and clear.

Idea #7: Tutoring

For those people who understand any scientific field or have, best of all, a pedagogical education, tutoring will be a great option. For an hour of work, a tutor receives much more than when working with a whole class of students in an educational institution.

It doesn't matter to study a child in a big city or in a small one, but Unified exam is the same for everyone, and the qualifications of teachers may differ in small and large cities. That is why in small towns, responsible parents very often resort to the services of tutors for their children. In addition to individual lessons, you can also provide services such as:

• Help with writing scientific works, essays, term papers, diploma and other works;
• Preparation for exams when entering a university or for final exams, as well as even for state educational standards;
• Preparatory classes to prepare kids for school;
• Learning to master any instrument or vocal if you have certain skills.

There are many opportunities in this area. Also, you can not independently teach children and students, but also organize an agency for the selection of repeaters, receiving a percentage of their orders.

Children are the flowers of life, but sometimes you want to leave them somewhere for a couple of hours, go to the movies or spend time in some other place. And there are a lot of people who want it. such a business is very profitable, even if your locality is small.

Such a room is in demand, most often in the field of entertainment. It would be very suitable to rent a room near a cinema, any other entertainment facility or in mall and organize a children's room there.

For the functioning of the business, it will be necessary to furnish the room for the needs of children, hire a couple of animators, put a pool with balls, a TV with cartoons, drawing tables and a corner with toys there. It is also necessary to provide all the precautions for children's games so that the kids do not get hurt, and just in case, there must be a first aid kit.

With high traffic, you will always have customers, it is enough to make only a colorful sign and get to work.

Almost everyone drinks coffee these days. On the way to work, if there is a minute, a person will definitely buy a cup of delicious coffee. At lunchtime, to maintain performance in the afternoon, many people also want to drink espresso or latte.

Therefore, the organization of a small coffee house on wheels when placing it in places where there are no competitors nearby and a large traffic of people - best idea for the modern entrepreneur on a small budget.

The entrepreneur will need to organize a van that can comfortably accommodate all the equipment for making a hot drink that everyone loves. You can install such a van permanently at one point with high traffic or, if necessary, transport it to several points.

Yours will need to be beautifully and attractively designed. An original and attractive name will also be a big plus for advertising. And most importantly, your coffee should be delicious. In addition, you can come up with coffee-based drinks according to your own recipes. For example, cold ones are for hot summer days.

Opening your own business in a small town is an alternative to working "for an uncle" for a low salary with no prospects. Entrepreneurship combines the opportunity to earn money with self-realization, therefore it attracts young people who want to get more out of life. There are hundreds of business ideas for a small town, so every aspiring entrepreneur will be able to find the best option for their capital.

Small town - a peculiar environment, characteristics which greatly affect the business. Entrepreneurship in a metropolis with millions of inhabitants is fundamentally different from owning a business in a town of 100,000. When developing a plan for his business, the entrepreneur must take into account these specific characteristics, otherwise he will not succeed.

Another common approach suggests a value of 500,000 (with this option, most Russian cities will fall into this category).

However, for the entrepreneur, it is not the specific number of inhabitants that matters most, but specific “provincial” characteristics.

Features of small towns that affect business:

1. Low income residents. The average salary in the regions does not exceed 30,000 rubles. According to Trud newspaper, 4.9 million Russians receive the minimum wage (11,280 rubles) and most of them live in the regions. The modest salaries of potential customers shackle business - people do not buy additional goods. Accordingly, the potential for development is limited.
2. Low demand. If villagers don't have much money, they will only spend it on essential goods. Modern services, such as delivering food and coffee to the office, will seem redundant to them. The problem is solved in two ways: the entrepreneur either chooses what will definitely be in demand, or conducts a marketing campaign and convinces potential customers that his products are urgently needed.
3. The labor market is underdeveloped. In a small town, there may be an acute shortage of qualified specialists and people with higher education - they prefer big cities. It will be difficult for a businessman to staff if his business involves special knowledge and skills.
4. Lack of goods and services. Residents of small towns often do not have access to modern goods and services. This applies to grocery stores, clothing stores, beauty salons, beauty parlors, car washes and car services. The entrepreneur who provides access to them will occupy a stable and profitable niche.
5. Limited information field. All news spreads very quickly in small towns. This can be a plus for business - "word of mouth" will advertise better than television and the Internet. However, the disadvantages should not be discounted either: one bad review from a dissatisfied client will significantly damage the reputation of a novice businessman.

A small city is an original environment for business development. It cannot be called unambiguously favorable or unambiguously unpromising. It is important to consider all the features when planning a business. Then a novice entrepreneur is more likely to create a profitable business.
