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

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

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

When you were born, you did not immediately say the first word, did not immediately take the first step, then why do you think that in business you should immediately open a bank, a car dealership or a large supermarket? Perhaps you have a desire to do something big, but try to tune your brain to what is currently within your power and within the power of your wallet. And when the brain starts to work on goals closer to reality, then ideas will fall to you like a river.

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

And this very small business is micro business! You can be a micro business doing freelancing, making something at home, reselling some goods, providing services. You will be very small at first, but then time will pass and growth will accelerate.

Did you know that the world's most famous eatery "Subway" (Subvey), used to be just one small outlet, and now has tens of thousands of eateries around the world? And if the founders hadn't opened this one diner, if they hadn't started small, this multi-million dollar company wouldn't exist!

In general, in America, one in ten is engaged in microbusiness, produces something in a garage, sells something, etc., while in Russia this is just beginning to emerge. You have every chance!

Most of you want to do your own thing in order to get out of a job you hate, to start living a better life, to be more free, then to make a big business, and so on. So for these purposes, microbusiness is quite enough.

Many people are engaged in business and earn only a little more than the average salary, but they are satisfied that they are doing an interesting job and are independent in their activities.

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

How to start a business with minimal investment

Now let's move on to the fact that you can open a business with minimal investment, and moreover, you need to! You don't need a lot of money to start a micro business. You only need 4 things to get started:

1. Think about what you like and what you could really do (make an approximate list right now, then add it);
2. Consider how you can capitalize on your interest. Just think about whether your business can be useful to someone.
3. See if you have enough money for it. If not enough, then return to point number 1 and go again.

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

Important! You, when you want to eat and you have only 50 rubles in your pocket (I had this, I don’t know about you), you buy what you have enough money for and satisfy the body’s need for food. But, you must admit that if you had 1000 r, then you would buy something tastier. The same goes for starting your micro business. If you have little money, then try to extract the maximum profit from them. You must satisfy your need - start! If you manage to do something out of little money, then later you will move mountains out of big money. Burn out? Get great experience for little money!

Live examples of business with little investment

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

• I opened my first site (blog site) with 1000 rubles in my pocket. Behind him immediately the second for 500 rubles. Total 1500 r. After 3 months, both sites in total began to bring in a month 3,000 rubles, then 5,000 rubles, then 10, and so on up to 15,000 rubles. After a year and a half, I sold one of them for a tidy sum, and the second remained with my partner.
• I opened a website development studio without investments at all. She also brought me a little 10,000-30,000 rubles a month. But this is because I had to pay designers and layout designers.
• The service for selling tweets, likes and everything else was opened for 7000 rubles, paid off in 2 days. He brought 40,000 rubles. per month and was sold.
• Your blog, which you are now reading, was started with 500 rubles, and now it also generates income.
• We opened an online bag store with 80,000 - 100,000 rubles, and paid back the money invested in 2 months, from the moment the goods arrived. From the 3rd month he was already carrying clean money and continues to this day.
• Now another interesting project is being prepared, although there are more investments, but still not millions.

Well, everything about myself. What do you want? Thought I was in a million dollar business. No! I am a micro businessman! Assets, of course, are not worth a single million, but this is already a matter of time, experience, desire and interest! I am not boasting, and even more so there is nothing to brag about, I just want to show by my own example that you can start small!

Now let's move on to others:

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

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

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

Therefore, "Santa Claus" is the most profitable business during the New Year holidays.

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

Clothing for many breeds of dogs is not a whim of the owner, but an essential item. It helps protect your pet from the weather and prevents hypothermia. Therefore, the owners of short-haired dog breeds always buy new clothes for their pets in the cold season. Clothing for dogs is quite expensive, due to the specifics of the product. Although there is very little material, only a sewing machine is needed from the equipment.

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

Moreover, it is no easier to make a business for a million than for 50,000 rubles. It just seems that there is a lot of money, so everything is simple, but everywhere there are difficulties.

Thank you for your attention! I look forward to your comments.

The situation in the Russian economy today is not the most cloudless, and therefore many believe that the opening of their business should be postponed until better times. We are sure that the crisis is not a reason to give up the dream of your own business. Because the perfect moment will never come.

If such philosophical theses do not convince you very much, it is worth thinking in more mundane categories. A crisis is the time when weak players leave the market, which means that competition for newcomers is reduced. And if you can offer something that people really need, then success will accompany you with a high probability. It is not for nothing that eminent businessmen claim that great companies are born precisely in a crisis.

You may not become a multibillionaire, but you can still start a working and quite profitable business, even when the economy is not experiencing a phase of rapid growth. Moreover, you can start with a relatively small amount for investment. You just need to navigate the market correctly and choose the right business idea. We offer you some relevant business ideas today with minimal investment.

Professional consulting

Those who are looking for business ideas suitable for 2016 should remember that, as a rule, a service business requires small investments. But not all services in a crisis are equally in demand. To choose a business niche, you should take a closer look at what is happening around.

For example, due to the difficult economic situation, many companies are trying to improve their own efficiency and are actively looking for suitable ways to do this. If you know how you can help them with this, try starting a professional consulting business.

Natalia Rosenblum

Managing Partner Top Hotel Experts

It is this segment that focuses mainly on professional knowledge, contacts and intangible resources, so you can start a business with the smallest budget in the field of professional consulting.

It should be noted that the demand for such services is highly dependent on the specific niche. Currently, professional consulting is in great demand among those who work in the hotel business. The fact is that today in many regions projects are underway to expand the hotel infrastructure or create new hotels. In addition, cases of change of ownership have become more frequent in the market. In both of these situations, the opinion of a specialized expert regarding the real situation in the project is important to the players.

But, choosing such a business is still worth it for those who already have experience in consulting, in the b2b field, or, in extreme cases, at least some experience in working with clients. After all, professional consulting has its own “pitfalls”.

According to Natalia Rosenblum, the most important issue is related to the client and his requests. It is often difficult for a client to understand why he should involve one or another specialized specialist. Or he has a negative experience with consultants, and he may completely refuse their services. When starting a consulting business, it is important to keep these situations in mind and be prepared to resolve them.

Business on children

If you have always been able to find a common language with children, you should pay attention to the "children's" business. As a rule, businesses related to children are win-win at any time. After all, parents strive to give their kids all the best, despite the crisis.

True, it is worth noting that not all businesses that make money on children feel equally good. For example, clothes and toys began to sell slightly worse, as parents approach their acquisition more rationally. And it is impossible to open a store of such goods with a small amount of money.

For those who want to spend a minimum of money on starting their own business and are looking for business ideas, 2016 presents an excellent solution - services for children. Centers for children's creativity, and even more so private kindergartens, will require tangible investments, especially because of the need to rent a room. Therefore, it is worth considering classes that can be organized without being tied to a specific place, for example, visiting workshops or sports classes.

Aksana Meshkova

champion

Children's sports activities are at the intersection of two interesting areas - sports and child development. This topic is just emerging in our country, and interest in it is very high.

Online trading

Those who are looking for business ideas with minimal investment and want to try their hand at trading should pay attention not to the usual stores, the opening of which requires considerable investment, but to the online segment. Sales of goods via the Internet over the past year not only did not decrease, but also showed an increase of 12%.

There is an opinion that e-commerce is a rather complicated matter and requires large investments. After all, in addition to creating a website and an order processing system, you also need to purchase goods and rebuild logistics. All this requires money and certain competencies.

To be the owner of an online store, no special knowledge is required

Sure Pavel Gorbov, Executive Director Re: Sales Expert. The company is engaged in the sale of ready-made businesses. According to him, trading via the Internet does not require large investments: when creating a business from scratch, you can meet 50-100 thousand rubles in the region.

Such a low investment can be ensured by working on the drop shipping system, that is, acting as a link between the manufacturer and the client, purchasing goods for sale and receiving a percentage of its sales. A complex and expensive logistics system is also not required: the delivery of goods to customers can be entrusted to intermediary companies.

At first glance, it may seem that the online trading segment is overloaded with players, but Pavel Gorbov insists that this is not so:

The e-commerce market in Russia is in a deplorable, vegetative-infancy state. This is especially true for small businesses

Catering

If you want to try your hand at catering without spending fabulous sums to start a business, take a closer look at catering - the provision of catering services at remote locations.

It cannot be said that this niche thrives even in times of crisis. In the past year, it, like public catering in general, experienced a certain decline, because people began to save. As a result, the private segment suffered the most - weddings, birthdays, parties. To celebrate informal events, people began to choose restaurants that allow you to buy your own alcohol. But when holding business events, few people managed to refuse catering.

In general, catering services will continue to be popular, believes Danil Konovalov, creator of a portal for event professionals EventHeads. According to him, entry into this market is very inexpensive for start-up entrepreneurs. Investments for residents of Moscow or St. Petersburg will amount to about 150-200 thousand rubles, and for the regions the figure may be even less.

At the same time, most of the expenses will be spent on marketing. It is desirable to advance through the Internet, having previously decided on your target audience (individuals or companies). You won’t need to rent a room, nor will you need permanent staff, because catering is an event business. Cooks and waiters can be hired one-time, the necessary equipment can be rented.

In essence, all you need to run this business is a banquet manager. You can hire such a specialist or look for clients and sell your services to them yourself. In this case, it is desirable to have some experience in sales. Experience in catering will be a plus, but you can learn the basic rules of working in this area from scratch in a few months.

Help for credit debtors

Some types of business only benefit from the crisis. Among these - services to assist credit debtors. Of course, the idea of ​​such entrepreneurial activity is not new. “The relevance of the business of helping debtors did not arise now, but two years earlier,” explains Sergey Krylov, founder and CEO of a law firm "Delta Consulting" and companies "Debt Defense League".

As the crisis deepens, business in this area becomes more and more relevant. This process is connected primarily with the fact that the number of people in debt in Russia is growing year by year.

As for the business itself, the cost of creating it is minimal. To start, you will need an office of 15 sq.m., two computers and two lawyers. In Moscow, 50-60 thousand rubles is enough for all this. The office will cost 20-30 thousand rubles, one computer - 5-6 thousand rubles, plus the future salary of a specialist for the first month of work.

It is worth noting that the anti-collection business is not regulated in any way and does not require obtaining licenses. This leads to the fact that competition in this field of activity is quite serious. The idea of ​​a business to help credit debtors is especially popular in the regions. “But the level, unfortunately, often does not correspond to the declared status,” complains Sergey Krylov.

This business niche is not for everyone. To open an anti-collection agency, you need to have specific knowledge in the field of financial activities of banks, the banking sector as such, and legal skills. Experience is needed, not just understanding of the situation. Only a suitable level of competencies will make it possible to provide debtor assistance services at a high level and win in tough competition.

If you are planning to start your own business, you can take a closer look at one of the areas suggested above or continue to look for other business ideas: 2016 opens up a lot of opportunities for you. After all, a crisis is not a hindrance to a real entrepreneur.

Choosing small business ideas with minimal investment, you should focus on what you like to do most of all.

You can earn money by making bouquets, soft and plastic toys, growing indoor plants, tailoring and much more, without investing a lot of money in starting a business.

Business with China as an idea for a small business with minimal investment

Few people know that opening your own online store selling things from China does not require a lot of money if you use the dropshipping method.

With this approach to trade and business, you should act as follows:

1. Create a website for an online store.
2. Find clothing suppliers from China - Aliexpress.com, Taobao.com, Alibaba.com.
3. Agree with suppliers on joint work by the method: the intermediary does not receive the goods, he only transfers the buyer's data to send the ordered item directly from the warehouse, but at the same time receives an extra charge for the goods.
4. You can find buyers by advertising on social networks: VKontakte, Instagram, Odnoklassniki, Twitter.

Goods in China are very cheap, so the margin on them can be about 30 - 70% of the cost.

In this case, the intermediary wins - he does not pay for the storage of things and their shipment, but only receives a percentage for finding buyers.

However, you should pay attention to the fact that in the case of a low-quality product, all the "bumps" will fly to the head of the intermediary.

To prevent this from happening, you should conclude an agreement with the manufacturer, check the certificates, and also ask for several options for things to assess their quality and compliance with the photos posted on the network.

You can earn a lot, even if you connect several site administrators of the online store to the case.

Employees can work remotely from their homes.

In this case, you do not even have to invest in office rent.
