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:

Business Idea No. 1. Selling goods from one-page sites

This business is very relevant now and brought good money in 2018 and will bring in 2019 (and even longer). And it's realistic to start with minimal investment.

1. a trendy product is selected from suppliers (in China or Russia), for which there is now a good demand;

I also tried this profitable business on myself and it brings a good profit. It's no secret that now you can buy goods from China at very low prices and sell from us in Russia. This is now used by many and the business is gaining momentum.

The business idea is that you buy goods from China cheaply, and in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, etc. sell more. On goods from China, you can mark up from 50 to 300% on average, which indicates a good profit.

I have a section on my site about . In it, I share my experience and business ideas with minimal investment in the sale of goods from China. There you will also find many instructions on how to order products, how to sell them, etc.

But you can start by making money by selling a few of your unwanted items. Thus, you will already have money to buy the necessary goods.

Business idea number 5. Inexpensive Chinese cosmetics

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

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

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

This is a really profitable business that does not require huge capital. It will always be up to date, because. people have holidays regularly. You only need organizational skills, a certain amount of free time, the ability to find a common language with people.

The presence of an office is not a prerequisite, because. You can meet with the customer on neutral territory. Thus, with minimal investment, you can earn decent money.

Earnings from the organization of holidays can be unstable. It all depends on the number of celebrations, their scope and the specifics of the services provided.

Business idea number 7. Organization of non-standard tours

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

Non-standard tourism has recently become very popular. Increasingly, people are choosing just such tours, because. they are tired of the usual and boring vacation. There will always be customers who love outdoor activities, eco-tourism, etc. Moreover, the creation of such a business requires minimal investment, experience in the field of tourism and organizer skills.

In order to organize non-standard tours, you need to rent a room, become an individual entrepreneur, hire employees (this is not necessary at the beginning of work), distribute advertising. In addition, you will have to make several interesting tours that are suitable for different segments of the population.

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

Business idea number 8. Visage, makeup, hairstyle

The essence of the business idea is as follows: after training in specialized courses, you provide your services for creating hairstyles or various types of makeup to everyone.

The services of a makeup artist and hairdresser have always been and will be in demand. All due to the fact that every girl wants to be beautiful, both on holidays and on weekdays. Thanks to this, hairdressers and makeup artists always have enough work.

To implement your idea, you need to draw up the necessary papers and become an individual entrepreneur. After that, purchase the necessary tools and start offering your services to friends. In the beginning, you may have to work for free, but this way you will "fill your hand" and get a lot of customers thanks to "word of mouth".

Income from such activities can be unstable. In the summer there are always more clients, thanks to the wedding season, although there are many holidays throughout the year and you will not be left without work.

Business idea number 9. Santa Claus

The essence of such a business idea is as follows: you are looking for actors who will agree to play the role of fairy-tale characters, develop a script and find clients who are interested in the proposed service. On the specified day, Santa Claus visits the children and shows a performance.

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

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

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

Business Idea No. 10. Club "Mafia"

The essence of this business idea is as follows: you find 8-12 people who love and want to play Mafia, solve all organizational issues, and play the game. Each player pays a certain amount of money for participation.

Especially if he specializes in wedding and children's shooting. Wedding photography is distinguished by its scale, and accordingly, it brings a large profit, and shooting of children is ordered regularly, because. the child grows and changes.

To start your career you need:

• issue an IP;

Income from such activities can be both regular and irregular. In the beginning, profits will be unstable, but as the customer base expands, you will be approached at any time of the year with various offers.

The essence of the business idea: you provide services for painting discs and other machine parts with luminous paint, paint and sell paving slabs, finishing materials that glow in the dark.

Modern people are very hard to surprise, but, nevertheless, there are those who always want to stand out. That is why many car enthusiasts paint individual parts of the car with luminous paint, and women, when choosing finishing materials for home repairs, prefer non-standard solutions.

Luminous paint is a new and promising direction. Competition in the market for such a product is minimal, so the profitability of the idea is guaranteed.

Household appliances always break down at the most inopportune moment. Very often, it is very problematic to repair large-sized equipment (refrigerator, washing machine, etc.), due to inconvenient transportation and high expenses for it. Therefore, for many people it is much more profitable to call the master at home. This significantly reduces the client's costs and saves time.

To start your career, you need to register an IP, purchase the necessary tools (you may already have them) and advertise your services by posting ads, distributing leaflets, etc. It remains to wait for customers and win a good reputation.

Therefore, they strive to create a good site and promote it.

In order to start working, you need to gain experience. To do this, you will have to work in such an organization for some time. Having gained experience, it is already possible to draw up an IP, rent a room, hire staff, advertise your company and fulfill the first orders.

The amount of income depends on the number of completed orders and their cost.

Business Idea No. 17. Bath Restoration

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

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

In order to start working and give a second life to the bath, you will have to formalize the IP and choose a restoration method. It depends on what tools and materials you need to purchase. After all the acquisitions, it remains to conduct an advertising campaign and wait for customers to call.

The price of a standard restoration of one bathtub is about 2,000 rubles. The approximate amount of income can be 30,000 rubles. per month, provided that you complete 15 orders.

The essence of the business idea is as follows: you help people lose weight, pump up muscles, draw up a plan for individual training. In addition, you advise on any issues, teach how to work on simulators.

Most people have long understood that sport helps to feel young and healthy. That's why they go to the gym en masse. Many choose group workouts, but they may not bring the desired result, because. designed for the average person. Then a private fitness trainer comes to the rescue. It helps to create an individual program, so that you achieve the best results in the shortest possible time. In addition, a private coach is very popular.

For productive work, a trainer needs to be able to work on simulators, know the characteristics of the human body and understand how weight is reduced and muscles are pumped up.

Business idea No. 22. Sewing clothes for dogs

The essence of the business idea is as follows: thanks to the ability to cut and sew, you make clothes for dogs, and grateful owners buy them with pleasure. You can sew both universal models and to order. Custom tailoring will cost more.

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.

It is not difficult to calculate the approximate profit from 1 product. On average, one suit costs about 2000 rubles, and the cost of the material is 500 rubles. Hence the net earnings of 1500 rubles. If tailoring is individual, then the amount may increase several times. Income from such a business may be seasonal, because. clothes for dogs are rarely bought in the summer.

Business Idea No. 23. Handmade

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

Every day handmade is becoming more and more popular. Millions of people tend to buy just such products as souvenirs and gifts. All due to the fact that each such masterpiece is unique and exclusive. Due to the great demand for such products, exhibitions and fairs of hand-made products are held in almost every city.

In order to profit from your own masterpieces, you need to purchase the right material and produce a product of high quality. After that, photos of your work can be posted on social media. networks, or sell products at various fairs.

The income that handmade can bring depends solely on you. If the products are labor-intensive, made of high quality from good materials, then by selling them you can get good money. It is very important to find points for the sale of finished products.

Business Idea No. 24. Sewing handmade toys

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

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

To sew a soft toy, you will need: a sewing machine, tools and materials. After that, choose the character that you will make, find the pattern (on the Internet or in a magazine) and proceed directly to its manufacture. Then choose the way to sell products.

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

Business Idea #25: Pet Furniture

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

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

To create such a business, it will be necessary to issue an IP, get acquainted with all the fashion trends in the furniture industry, purchase the necessary materials and tools, create sketches on the basis of which furniture will be made. It is important to conduct an advertising campaign and find points of sale for products.

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

Conclusion

My conclusion, as always, is positive. Business with minimal investment is possible! Think, start, try. You should always start small and business is no exception. 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.

For example, I would not be able to manage entire factories or banks now, I have little experience. Therefore, I will continue to build my small businesses, turn them into medium ones, and there it’s not far to the big ones;)

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

The idea to add an extra private penny to the main income, and even better, visits many. But most dismiss it immediately: there are too many examples of ambitious but unsuccessful entrepreneurs who risked their money and went bankrupt.

And where to get this start-up capital? Where to direct your efforts? Moreover, the market is so volatile, and financial crises one after another shake the world economy.

Oddly enough, you can create your own enterprise with a starting capital of less than 50 thousand rubles. And there are many options here: consulting services, or on-site car diagnostics, lunch delivery, and so on.

It is important to find your niche and understand where to start. You will need to go through the following steps.

1. Find business ideas with minimal investment

You need to start by determining the segment in which you can prove yourself. If you plan to spend a minimum of funds, then it is obvious that you will have very few employees, and at the initial stage, most likely, you will have to do everything yourself.

It follows from this that there will be no advisers: the Internet does not count - there is not always reliable information here, and it is unlikely that you will be able to find a good consultant on the cheap.

It turns out that it is better to do what you understand. You don't have to be a company manager to know how things work. If you were a furniture upholsterer in a factory, then almost all the pitfalls of this production are known to you.

At a minimum, the initial cost of materials, the list of suppliers, distribution channels, possible damage - all this is already in your asset. It is worth trying to make furniture yourself.

Worked as an accountant and Then you can easily find clients from among individual entrepreneurs who will gladly shift the responsibility for accounting and reporting to you.

The same applies to nannies, tutors - why not organize an agency for hiring domestic staff, teachers - an agency or a coworker company of tutors will certainly be in demand, and so on.

2. Make a decision: side job or real business

At the stage of searching for a profile of your enterprise with small investments, it is important not to confuse your business with a side job. Wherever you start you must have a clear plan, How will you develop in the future?

There are various options, including:

• Attract more and more staff are investing in marketing, providing themselves with an arithmetic increase in income. This is how recruitment agencies, translation agencies and others work.
• improve, modify their services, products, expand the range. For example, over time, in addition to accounting services, start providing customers with
• Bring something new to the market, original, released under its own brand. Starting with, you can gradually develop your own brand and supply finished products or semi-finished products, say, packaged pies, to small shops.

These are not all options for developing your future business. Let now it starts small, you need to focus on the fact that in the end your company will take a worthy market share.

3. Assess the market

It is extremely difficult to assess the market without sufficient tools. Large companies pay a lot of money for such research. But at the initial stage, a lot is not needed, just to understand whether the enterprise will be profitable or not.

Without this step, it will not be possible to create at least approximate

Depending on the market sector you have chosen and the size of the enterprise, the evaluation strategy will be different. But in general, you need to understand the following things:

• how many competitors do you have (specifically for your product / service, in your price segment, in the area that you plan to serve);
• whether you can offer the same or similar product/service at the same price;
• Can your business stand out if you offer lower prices?
• what means of advertising and marketing are most effective for your target audience, that is, potential buyers.

How to get all this data yourself?

Without outside help, you can do the following:

• Study advertisements of competitors in newspapers, on television, on the Internet.
• You may have to play the role of a fake buyer to understand what exactly other manufacturers are trying to win the attention of consumers.
• You can contact your potential buyers directly, for example, draw up a price list and drive around the shops with it, communicate with those responsible for purchases.
• Make a table of prices for products / services similar to yours.
• Write your own free or low-cost ads in various media, evaluate how many potential buyers contacted you, understand what they need.

You may need some additional information specific to your company. By collecting this data, you will at least approximately know what other business sharks are found in the basin where you plan to settle.

4. Overall cost estimate

For each specific type of activity, even for an individual company, there will be special items of expenditure. These may include costs for:

• , obtaining permits;
• rental property;
• rent/purchase of machinery or equipment;
• repair;
• communal payments;
• arrangement (purchase of computers, utensils, equipment for staff, and so on);
• employees' salaries;
• services to third parties (carriers, repairmen, electricians and others);
• advertising, marketing activities;
• negotiations with investors, customers, suppliers, buyers;
• zero cycle of the company (before the receipt of revenue).

The list of expenditure items should be as wide as possible.

Perhaps not all of them at the beginning of the existence of the company will require financial injections, but at least it is worth knowing that they exist before the main work on creating the enterprise begins. Note that this does not include articles on the production and sale of goods.

5. Draft a business plan

A very voluminous document, which is compiled for potential investors. We, as the founder of the enterprise, are only interested in its financial part.

It is optimal, of course, to turn to specialists who will tell you what hidden expenses a company with a small budget has, and will also help you draw up a draft business plan. But if this is not financially feasible, you can try to do it on your own.

What should a business plan include?

a) the expenditure part, which consists of:

• lump sum payments;
• monthly payments;
• purchasing costs;
• the cost of producing a unit of output;
• the cost of selling a unit of output.

b) the revenue part, which consists of:

• minimum/maximum production capacity;
• minimum/maximum sales opportunities.

c) conclusions:

• break-even point (how much you need to sell to break even, that is, stop making a loss and start making a profit);
• optimistic/pessimistic payback period of the enterprise.

5. Officially register your business

Now that the profile of the enterprise, its estimated income, and short-term prospects have been determined, you can choose the form of ownership and the system of taxation.

The most common forms of ownership for your business with small investments:

• One or more founders can create a company. An LLC is liable for its debts only with its own property - the personal funds of the founders are inviolable. The reporting system and the business system in general are quite cumbersome.
• KFH. A farm is a legal entity that several land owners can create by agreement. A convenient option for those who are engaged in activities in the field of agriculture. It implies a number of benefits, low taxes, a simple reporting system.
• IP. According to the Civil Code of the Russian Federation in Article 23, any citizen who wants to receive commercial benefits from his activities can. Registration and reporting system are very simple, but the individual entrepreneur is responsible to creditors with all his property. Recently, it can hire a large number of employees (up to 100).

The procedure for registration of IP, LLC and KFH is carried out at the place of their official registration (at the place of registration).

What documents are required?

The following documents will be required:

• IP: application form P21001, receipt for 800 rubles on payment of the state fee, passport.
• OOO: application form P11001, decision on the creation of a legal entity (minutes, agreement of founders or, constituent documents in two copies, receipt of payment of state duty in the amount of 4000 rubles. A contribution to the authorized capital can be made within four months after registration.
• KFH without forming a legal entity (subsequently, a legal entity can be formalized): the procedure is the same as for an individual entrepreneur, information about the head is entered in the state register of individual entrepreneurs.

After registering your enterprise at the official level, you can open current accounts, order printing (both individual entrepreneurs and legal entities can now work without it), choose a taxation system and carry out production and commercial activities.

And most importantly: one must not lose faith in oneself and be flexible if circumstances change. Then all plans will be realized, and the business will bring both income and pleasure.

What kind of business can be opened with minimal investment?

In theory, everything sounds relatively simple, especially with regard to the first and second points. But now you have found your field of activity - decided to grow and sell herbs, say, dill. What exactly should you do:

1. We decided that we plan to grow greens, or rather, dill. Since we do not have a site, at first it will have to rent.

2. Our new business will be quite time consuming, so it must generate income in excess of Subsequently, it will be possible to expand the range of greens, involve hired people in the work, start selling not only to sellers in small retail outlets, but also to large retail chains, which will significantly increase turnover.

3. Let's say the sphere of our interests is a certain City. As in most similar cities, in it the demand for small wholesale greenery significantly exceeds the supply. The wholesale price fluctuates depending on the season and is approximately 100-200 rubles per kilogram. Under the condition of processing and packaging, you can get more.

After placing ads on the Internet, we can say with confidence that the sales market is consistently high, at least for the next season.

So, we have collected the following information:

• we have practically no competitors, and if they exist, they do not saturate the market;
• we, most likely, will be able to offer goods at a price of 100 rubles per 1 kg (we will carry out exact calculations later);
• there is no need to lower the price: demand is already great, but if necessary, we have a reserve for lowering;
• free classified ads on the internet, as well as low-cost placements in the City's local newspaper, will suffice.

There is a free niche for the production and sale of dill at the prices that we are ready to offer in the City. We will not feel serious competition. At the first stage, the costs of promoting products on the market will be insignificant.

Growing Greens for Sale: A Business Plan Based on Costs and Income

Possible costs are:

• registration as an individual entrepreneur, opening a bank account, ordering seals - 6 thousand rubles;
• as we choose the payment of the unified agricultural tax - this is 6% of the goods sold;
• rent of a plot of 10 acres, 10 km from the city - 1 thousand rubles per month (12 thousand per year);
• at the initial stage, we manage with our own tools;
• advertising costs - none (small wholesale buyers can be easily found via the Internet).

We are going to build an approximate business plan for the 1st financial year. We will calculate the annual profit / loss.

It is planned that during the year we will be able to sow and grow products at least twice (in fact, you can get three harvests in the open field).

Products will be grown and sold as much as possible:

• 1000m 2 * 1.5 kg (yield per square) * 2 (two crops per year) * 100 rubles (price per 1 kg) \u003d 300,000. We immediately subtract 6% of the UAT tax, we get 282,000
• We will consider 30% of the maximum as the minimum possible (it is difficult to plan in agriculture). That is, in the worst case scenario, we will receive revenue of 100 thousand rubles, which, minus tax, will amount to 94 thousand.
• Purchase of planting material and top dressing for dill - 30 thousand.
• Transportation of products to customers - 15 thousand (30 trips of 40 km are taken into account).
• The cost of renting a plot - 12 thousand.
• Registration costs - 6 thousand.

What kind of income can you get?

• maximum income - 119 thousand.
• minimum income - 31 thousand.

Even in case of crop failure, activity will be financially profitable. However, it should be noted that there are shortcomings in this business plan.

Firstly, it is not taken into account that the individual entrepreneur owes 22,261 for medical insurance. Secondly, there are no transport costs, and after all, the individual entrepreneur must get to his site daily, and even with tools and fertilizers.

But in any case, it is obvious that this type of activity is break-even, and when forming a permanent client base and expanding it is very profitable.

Home Internet business: minimum investment and maximum money earned

Before starting or opening a particular project, it is recommended that you thoroughly familiarize yourself with the rules of doing the business that you decide to do. This largely depends on how much money you decide to invest in your plan initially. And if we are talking about the fact that own business brings benefits if it is highly profitable, then it is necessary to create a business plan that would involve the least amount of money invested in the project. Many will think that this is impossible. But looking at many well-known business projects, we can understand that the matter does not depend so much on your investments, but on whether you have correctly assessed the market situation in your region. In every business, it is important to consider and be able to understand the moods and intentions of potential customers in advance.

At the same time, it is important to realize that even a small, seemingly unprofitable business can also bring good income.

However, there is one that will allow you not only to save money, but also to expand the boundaries of the distribution of the case, which in the traditional form are very narrow and close where the territory of the city where it is being implemented ends. On the Internet, unlike all the others, they allow not only to overcome all real-life boundaries, but also do not require large expenses. At the initial stage, you will need only a few hundred rubles to buy a domain (the prices of which vary between 100-600 rubles). If you dig deep enough on all sorts of sites dedicated to this topic, you will be able to find many promotions that allow you to immediately purchase hosting as a gift along with a domain. This will be a significant plus that will decorate your business plan.

After that, you can safely start looking for a suitable designer that will help you create your own website. It may be small, but after some time it will become the main source of income in your family. Thus, this stage is available to absolutely all people, even a little versed in the Internet industry. If you are a specialist in the field of Internet technologies, you can start creating a website using HTML-language. To do this, many will need to reopen a computer science textbook or start recalling their practical work.

If your plans are to create a network of sites and you have more funds (than 600 rubles), then you can immediately purchase several domains. This will allow you to take advantage of one-time discounts or participate in any promotion. The choice of the theme of the site, especially the first one, should be based on your personal interest. Your site may be an interleaving of textual information with images or audio and video files. Or you choose one. On your own site, you can leave your contact details (phone number, e-mail address), which in most cases are indicated in the upper right field of all pages. They allow you to cause a positive and trusting attitude towards you among site visitors. As the site begins to gain popularity among Internet visitors, it will be possible to insert a counter of site traffic for the day in the lower right area of ​​​​the main page.

Earnings on the Internet business with a minimum investment

But this still does not bring us any income, and the expenses, as we remember, amounted to just over 500 rubles. What needs to be done in order for the site to begin to bring constant profit. The first condition has already been mentioned - you need a constant flow of visitors. It is their number that will further increase the level of your income in direct proportion. As soon as you have brought the site to the point that its popularity has increased several times, you need to edit its form again. To do this, a partnership agreement is concluded with some other site and an advertising banner or contextual advertising from the partner site is published on one or another page of the site. This advertisement may be in the form of a link and may be either temporary or permanent.

Each time your visitors click on a link to another site, your affiliate program account will be credited with certain funds - usually in cents or dollars. Another option - the money goes to your account only if the users of your site, by clicking on the link to another, do something. For example, they register, purchase a product in an online store, or download a particular file posted on the site. Or just the “open document” option will be available there.

Ideas that are easy to implement are all around us. Just look at your world from a different angle, and you will immediately notice what it lacks.

Pellets are compressed granular sawdust that can be used in two directions. The first is to produce and sell them as a heating material. It is much more economical than heating the house with wood., and waste during combustion of pellets is much lower than that of logs. Pellets can also be sold as cat litter. Natural material is in demand, because every pet owner wants to give his pet the best.

Costs and profitability

Given that pellets are made from sawdust, the profitability of production ranges from 85-110%.

Charcoal production

If you think that you need only for barbecues, then you are very mistaken. It is popular both in the construction industry and as a heating material.

You can open your own production at the following costs. A room from 10 thousand rubles a month, a furnace for the production of coal from 350 thousand rubles. Please note that here you need to add the cost of paying workers and purchasing raw materials, approximately 50 thousand rubles a month.

As for payback, one kiln produces an average of 150 tons of charcoal per year. Monthly profit will be about 80 thousand rubles. Total production will pay off within a year.

Production of polypropylene bags

Polypropylene bags are needed in all areas, their sale can bring up to 400 thousand rubles a month. For manufacturing, it is necessary to spend about 700 thousand rubles for equipment and about 50 thousand rubles for the purchase of raw materials. Add here the cost of rent, wages and other expenses and payback can be expected in six months.
