Business ideas with minimal investment. What to do if you live in a small town? Business ideas that don’t exist in Russia yet! Review of the most promising areas of small business Profitable business ideas

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

Business 2017: what is relevant in Russia despite difficult conditions

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

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

Catering business: what’s trending now

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Trading in 2017: profitable directions

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

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

3 legendary business ideas that changed the world
Conclusion

1. What business ideas with minimal investment work in 2017

A business idea is the basis of any profitable business. There are commercial ideas that have brought millions in profits to their creators and continue to work for them to this day. These people started their business from scratch, having only a great desire to achieve success. We talked in detail about how to start your business from scratch in one of the popular articles on our website.

Business ideas for beginning entrepreneurs do not have to be brilliant insights (although this option is also suitable): it is enough to use ready-made solutions and just start working according to a certain scheme.

In this article we offer business ideas with minimal investment for residents of a metropolis, small town, or village.

Below you will find projects for women, men, students and retirees.

Some business ideas involve working from home, others require having your own production facility or at least a car.

Even in 2017, when some businessmen cease commercial activities due to a sharp decline in demand, there are niches that, with the right approach, can bring good income.

Business niches relevant in 2017:

earning income via the Internet. (read our article working on the Internet at home without investment);
provision of various services to the population;
training and consulting;
resale of goods through electronic bulletin boards;
production of handmade products to order.

All the business ideas described in the article are different, but they have one thing in common: the absence of large investments at the initial stage.

The amounts that will be spent to open a business vary from 100 to 15,000 rubles ($5-$300).

Agree, almost anyone can find such funds.

At first, the idea of starting your own business with minimal investment (or no investment at all) seems unrealistic. To be sure, just read our article on how to open a business without investment.

However, there are many examples where people managed to achieve stable material well-being literally from scratch. These people just brought their original and cost-effective ideas to life.

2. Why many business ideas fail at the start

The main reasons for failure in a newly created business are, as a rule, organizational in nature.

In other words, you must have a business plan (we have already described in detail how to create a business plan) - a step-by-step guide to action. No matter how small the initial capital may be, it must be spent strictly for its intended purpose. If the money runs out at the start, this means that a strategic mistake was made.

The most common reasons for the failure of novice entrepreneurs:

Lack of customer focus. You need to interest your potential client. When starting a business, even a very original and new one, think about how to convey its exclusivity to other people.
Mistakes in cash flow management. Financial illiteracy, abuse of loans and inability to properly allocate available resources ruined the lion's share of young projects.
Lack of purpose. If your business idea doesn't have a clear goal, it will either not work at all or will stall in the process of bringing it to life. Decide what level of income you want to achieve and what you will do with the initial profits. The best option is to put them into action.
Lack of competent leadership. If more than 1 person is involved in a business, there must be someone who makes decisions.
Procrastination is postponing important business steps until later. Act immediately and start with the main thing!
Excessive caution. Unjustified risk will also not bring benefits, but fear is even more unprofitable for the development of a profitable enterprise. If you constantly wait for the perfect moment to implement your idea, you can spend years waiting for it. As one humorous and at the same time lifelike phrase says: “If you look at a girl for a long time, you can see how she gets married.” This applies to those who hesitate and miss out on a good opportunity because of it.
Lack of persistence. For some aspiring entrepreneurs, the first failure immediately unsettles them. Such people say “it didn’t work” and step aside. This is the wrong strategy. To ensure the viability of an idea, you need to test it several times - the more, the better. But this needs to be done wisely, constantly refining and adjusting the chosen direction. We repeat, by adjusting, and not just doing the same thing in the same way.

If a person repeatedly repeats the same actions, expecting to get different results, then he can be called insane.

Albert Einstein

And you shouldn’t expect instant returns even from what you think is the most brilliant business plan. Remember that only the most patient and persistent achieve success.

The main criterion when choosing a business idea is personal interest in any direction. Ideally, you need to make money from what you love and what you really understand.

In our opinion, a 100% successful business idea in 2017 must meet the following criteria:

Be based on what you love. Even the great Steve Jobs said that it is impossible to achieve great results by doing something you don’t like. Because you will quickly leave him if difficult times come, and they will definitely come.
The idea must be in demand by the market. You may really love cross-stitching or learning the language of the Tumba-Yumba tribe, but these activities are unlikely to bring you much income. Even if people are interested in these areas, the amount of money in these market niches is very small. Even without deep analysis this can be understood. In other words, with the same labor costs and talents, it will be much easier for you to earn money by selling real estate, building materials or cars than hats for hamsters, thimbles or decorative fly swatters.
Contain unique advantages. If you are choosing a niche or business idea for a future project and do not know how exactly you will stand out from your competitors, then such an idea is unlikely to bring a good financial result. Be sure to think about your competitive advantages. They can be price-based, for example, if you were able to reduce costs by finding a very profitable supplier. Your unique advantages can also be strategic, for example, if you endow your product (service) with unique consumer qualities.
A business idea must comply with legal, moral and ethical standards. You can earn a lot quickly and a lot, but you should think about whether this earnings will be fair. This is a fundamentally important condition when choosing a direction in business. If you don’t want to wake up at night from the police coming to your house or hear unflattering words addressed to you from clients, only engage in honest ways of earning money. Don't spoil your karma and sleep peacefully at night. Although, there are definitely people who are not embarrassed by anything. But this is their choice and everyone will ultimately be rewarded according to their deeds.

Education or work experience in a particular field can provide significant assistance. For example, a plumber can open an online store of plumbing products.

If you enjoy meeting new people, get into the organization business. Conversely, if interacting with people makes you feel uncomfortable and you feel better alone, start a home business - say, sewing and repairing clothes or technical translations.

Sometimes having a hobby helps to start a business. For example, people who deal with aquarium fish can turn their hobby into a source of income - start breeding fish (algae, plankton) for sale.

We can give some more specific advice to beginners:

You shouldn’t take out a large loan from a bank to start a business, especially if you don’t have other sources of permanent income (it’s better to borrow from relatives if you absolutely don’t have your own funds) and if you clearly decide that you need funds to start your own business, then definitely study our article “Where to get money”;
start small: set specific tasks for yourself and complete them consistently;
if your business is not related to the Internet, but is focused on a local area, think about whether the level of income of potential consumers is sufficient for your business to work (in other words, it is hardly worth opening a luxury clothing store in a village with a population of 5,000 people).

And most importantly, don’t be upset if the project doesn’t work: it didn’t work now, it will definitely work out on the next try. Experience in entrepreneurial activity is much more important than having start-up capital.

4. Ideas for business with minimal investment - TOP 15 best business ideas

And now specific ideas for those who want to start working for themselves and making a profit today. Let’s say right away that you also need to be able to use ready-made projects and ideas. Each option must be considered and compared with specific realities.

If you have little experience in business or are just about to open your own business, use our selection of business ideas for beginners.

Business idea 1. Reselling things on Avito

Avito is the most popular free classifieds site in Russia. Thousands of purchase and sale transactions are made here every day: some people buy the goods they need, others successfully sell this product.

Where big money circulates, intermediaries are needed. It is not at all necessary to sell your own things: you can search for buyers and sell them other people’s things, and at the same time receive good interest for your services.

Why is this relevant? Many people want to sell something they don't need, but don't know how to do it or don't have enough time to do it. In addition, there are sites where you can purchase goods cheaply in bulk, and then sell them at retail at a price that is favorable to you.

If you want to understand thoroughly how to make a profit on Avito and even build a business on it, check out our article “How to make money on Avito.”

In fact, most stores are engaged in intermediary activities. In this case, you will not need to pay money for renting a warehouse or retail space: all your activities will take place on the Internet.

You will also have to organize the delivery of goods to the client - but for this there are already proven schemes: you can use the services of the post office or a delivery service. If things go well, you can think about creating your own online store.

Business idea 2. Organizing a holiday agency

Organizing your own agency for holding holidays and events is one of the easiest ways to open your own business. People celebrate and will always celebrate birthdays, corporate parties and weddings, despite crises and other disasters.

Your task is to help them organize a holiday. You can specialize exclusively in children's parties: the children's audience is less demanding, and it is easier to amuse a child than an adult.

The holiday agency sells services that cannot be touched with your hands, so the main criterion is professionalism. First, you need to hold 5-10 events at a high level, after which you will definitely be noticed and recommended to your friends. The presence of advertising on the Internet and the media will not hurt, but the benefits of word of mouth should not be neglected. Satisfied clients will recommend you to each other.

Business idea 3. Advertising agency as a business for beginners

A small advertising agency can consist of 2-3 people and does not require large investments at the initial stage. All you need is creative ideas for advertising and a decent level of knowledge of the basics of computer design.

Our good friend Evgeniy Korobko opened his own advertising agency from scratch and is now successfully developing it. Zhenya quit his job when the income from his small advertising business exceeded his salary.

To begin with, an advertising agency office can be organized at home: it doesn’t matter where exactly you receive and implement requests from clients. All the initial capital that you have can be entirely invested in advertising for your advertising agency (no matter how paradoxical it may sound): the very first normal orders will more than recoup the money spent.

It is better not to skimp on the means of production - a computer, a scanner, a printer - all equipment should be the most modern. It is not necessary to create a full-fledged staff: now there are plenty of free artists (freelancers) who will design an advertising layout or create a corporate identity for a minimal fee. At the final stage, the main thing is to search for orders.

Again, if you use the World Wide Web wisely, there will be no shortage of clientele.

Experts in this matter believe that the most profitable branch of advertising is creative: the creation of original ideas, slogans, logos, layouts and banners. You can set prices for your services yourself. The main indicator of success is a stable increase in the cost of the information product you create and the number of its sales over a period, for example, per month.

Business idea 4. Organization of a “husband for an hour” service

The “Husband for an Hour” service is especially in demand in medium-sized and large cities, where there is a large number of busy people, and even men, not to mention women, will find it useful to use the services of private handymen.

No initial investment - only advertising. The main condition is professionalism. Do you know how to quickly install a switch, fix a faucet, or repair household appliances, wiring and plumbing? Then this is your business.

It is better, of course, to have your own car in order to arrive when called as quickly as possible.

If you are a good organizer, you don’t have to deal with household repair work directly, but rather coordinate it. It is necessary to organize a network of employees (narrow specialists in a particular field) and distribute calls among them, taking into account the specifics of the work and territorial criteria.

Specialists of such a service can be both generalists and specialists in a certain field: electrical, plumbing, finishing work.

One of our friends, his name is Evgeniy, opened such a service in the city of Stavropol, at first he worked on his own, then he began to hire people. Now he has a popular and sustainable business.

Business idea 5. Freight transportation

Organization of cargo transportation is a promising direction, since the need for such services is constantly growing. This is due, among other things, to the development of Internet commerce. Goods purchased by customers need to be delivered, preferably as soon as possible.

To start, you can open a small transportation agency in your hometown. You don't even need to have your own fleet of cars to carry out the cargo transportation itself. It is enough to find clients for your services and agree with car owners on the price of the transportation itself.

In this way, you organize your own dispatch service, which, as an intermediary, makes money by reselling applications from the consumer (a person or company that wants to transfer goods) to the contractor (the owner of the vehicle).

We know a guy, his name is Denis, who first worked as a hired gazelle driver for a year, and then bought his own gazelle and started making money on it. Now, 4 years later, he has almost 20 cars, which he gradually took out on credit and hired the same hired drivers to drive them.

How Denis’s cargo transportation scheme works in numbers

Let's look at the example of one car that was taken out on credit.

The loan payment per month is 15,000 rubles + 25,000 rubles driver’s salary + fuel and lubricants and depreciation 12,000 rubles.

Total: costs per car: 62,000 rubles per month.

Revenue from one car at an hourly cost of 400 rubles, per day with a 10-hour working day and an average vehicle load of 7 hours a day 25 days a week is 400 * 7 * 25 = 70,000 rubles.

It turns out that the profit is equal to: REVENUE 70,000 rubles minus COSTS 62,000 rubles = 8,000 rubles.

*All calculations here are taken as approximate and may not reflect the full picture regarding the specifics of this business.

Let us repeat, this final profit figure is obtained if you took out the car on credit.

The profit will be either minimal or almost zero. After the loan for the car is paid off and it becomes your full property, the profitability (profit) from this transport unit will increase significantly.

The opportunities for growth in this area are unlimited.

2) Business ideas for a small town

Business ideas for a small city have their own specifics. You can make money in small towns using the simplest and most popular things. But what if the population of your city is from 10,000 to 100,000 people? The answer is below.

Business idea 6. Breeding and selling animals

If you are the owner of a private home and love the animal world, you can start breeding animals for sale. First, of course, you need to decide what kind of animals you will breed - guinea pigs, dogs, cats, newts, hamsters. The main criterion is the availability of a market for sale. By the way, purebred dogs and cats with good pedigree cost tens of thousands of rubles.

Organizing a home nursery as a business is a good idea to start in a small town or even a village.

If you take a broader view and obtain the appropriate knowledge (education) and documents, you can grow into a veterinary clinic and, at a minimum, open a store selling food and related products for pets.

You can also raise rabbits at home. They multiply quite quickly and sell well.

Depending on the size and breed, the price of a live rabbit ranges from 800 rubles ($15) to 4,500 rubles ($65).

If everyone in your city loves boxer dogs, do business with them. Of course, the matter requires a preliminary study of all the nuances. It is advisable to talk to your veterinarian about the most common problems when breeding animals of a particular breed.

Business idea 7. Shoe repair and key making

In many cities, including small ones, there are shoe repair centers. If you don’t mind working with your hands and doing adhesive stitching, stuffing heels and replacing zippers on women’s boots, then you can easily organize such a point in your locality. All you need for this is a room of 5 square meters, a couple of shelves, tools and the ability to engage in this type of activity.

Also, do not forget to officially register as an individual entrepreneur so as not to have problems with the authorities. It’s easy to become an individual entrepreneur; to do this, read our article “how to open an individual entrepreneur.”

Shoe repair and key making businesses are often combined into one location due to the similarity of operating conditions.

And if there is a crisis in the country, then this will only benefit you. In such conditions, people spend less on new shoes and prefer to repair old ones, if possible. If you know how and love to work with your hands and want to be your own boss, this business is for you.

Business idea 8. Private cosmetologist (hairdresser, makeup artist)

To provide the services of a makeup artist, hairdresser, skin, nail and body care specialist, it is not necessary to rent a room and open a SPA salon with expensive equipment and many employees.

You can cut people's hair and do makeup at home - the main thing is that you know how to provide these services efficiently. Many women prefer to use the services of a home (almost personal) hairdresser - and the cooperation sometimes lasts for years.

Having developed a client base, you can have a constant income, without exaggeration, throughout your life. After all, this service is required by your clients at certain intervals.

Working from home as a private beauty specialist, you can provide the following services:

hair cutting and coloring;
manicure;
pedicure;
wedding hairstyle and makeup;
sale of related products (shampoos, gels, varnishes).

Working as a private master, you can become a full-fledged stylist in the future or open your own beauty studio.

Business idea 9. Tutoring

Good tutors are worth their weight in gold for many students and schoolchildren. This private education services business is suitable for professionals in any field.

Services of this kind are especially in demand during the season before entering universities.

How do clients find out about you? You can advertise in the local newspaper, on television, or via the Internet. And the best way to find clients is by communicating directly with students. For example, most teachers in schools work as tutors before graduating from school (graduation class) or vice versa, before entering an educational institution in preparation for entrance exams.

A good tutor earns good money per hour: you can work from home or remotely via Skype. In this case, your client market is unlimited. We will tell you more about making money using Skype below in the article.

Private lessons do not necessarily mean teaching science. You can teach people to play the guitar, cross-stitch, and weave beaded bracelets. If you can do something very well, why not teach it to others for an appropriate reward?

Business idea 10. Opening a canteen

This business idea is relevant not only in 2017, but at all times.

In small towns, as a rule, there are interruptions in catering establishments. Opening a canteen where the food is tasty and home-style will help resolve this issue to the benefit of the owner and clients. It is not necessary to immediately open a large dining room with 50-100 seats: for starters, 5 cozy tables are enough.

The main thing is to maintain your brand and cook truly delicious food. An activity such as individual entrepreneurship is registered - the only initial costs are: rent of premises, purchase of products. Analysts believe that this market segment in small cities is very profitable, especially if you have reliable staff and thoughtful services.

In any city, even a small one, there will be people who want to eat a tasty meal for reasonable money, a full meal with first and second, and not run around the shops in the hope of quickly “grabbing” something edible.

Such a business idea will be in demand both in large and small cities, where well-known public catering chains are practically not represented, and this will reduce competition for you.

3) Business ideas at home

In this section, we have prepared ideas for those who want to work independently without leaving home. Now the idea of a home business, including making money on the Internet, is gaining popularity every day.

Business idea 11. Making crafts at home (hand-made)

If you know how to make dolls, funny animals, wood products that children like and more, organize a hand-made business at home and sell your products through the same Avito or a specialized website. Hundreds of people are already doing this and making a profit.

Once we interviewed a girl who earns money in this way and lives with us in the city of Stavropol. And it all started as a hobby. To learn more about how to turn your creative talents into real money, read “How to make money on handicrafts” - an interview with Anna Belan, founder of the creative studio “SUZORAMI”.

Exclusiveness has always been valued, and if you really put your heart into creating crafts at home, you can earn several thousand dollars and at the same time teach other people this craft for money.

Business idea 12. Opening a home web studio

The latest Internet technologies will bring stable profits if you use them correctly. Do you have experience in creating websites, Internet applications, or do you know how to competently promote network resources in search engines? If yes, then you should create your own web studio.

The population's need to create their own Internet platforms is constantly growing - why not take advantage of this demand? By opening your own web studio, you will work exclusively for yourself and, moreover, do what you love.

We ourselves have been creating websites for about 3 years and wrote a detailed article on how to make money by creating custom websites.

By starting this business at home, over time you can expand the enterprise and become the head of your own IT company, and entrust the creation of websites, online stores and sales pages to freelancers or full-time employees.

Business idea 13. Training and consultations via Skype

The Internet has destroyed borders between states and distances between cities. Now you can teach others without leaving your home. Skype and other methods of Internet communication allow you to give lessons and consultations regardless of location.

Using Skype you can carry out the following types of commercial activities:

teach foreign languages to everyone (if you are a specialist, of course);
provide legal advice;
consult clients as a psychologist or psychotherapist;
teach people entrepreneurship;
fortune telling, making horoscopes.

The opportunity to study at a distance is beneficial for the teacher and the student - no one wants to waste time and money on travel. Any skills and knowledge are now within walking distance - 20 years ago one could only dream of such opportunities.

Nowadays, working on the Internet, including using Skype, has become a very popular area. If you have competencies that can be sold remotely, you can travel and work at the same time. And this lifestyle is the dream of millions of people around the world.

Business idea 14. Creating a profitable website on the Internet

This is one of the most profitable and promising business ideas of 2017, the relevance of which will only grow in the coming years. Having your own website is a great opportunity to generate regular income automatically. To understand how this works, read our article “how to create passive income.”

If your online resource is popular and is well promoted in search engines, then simply by placing contextual advertising and banners on it, you can have a stable and quite considerable profit.

We have already written above that our website HeatherBoyor.ru is a prime example of such a profitable site.

If you are truly passionate about information technology, then creating your own website (blog) can become for you both an additional source of income and a main one.

Your visited site will simultaneously solve several problems for you:

build your personal brand and expert status in any niche;
bring you profit on a regular basis as a store, cafe or other offline business;
motivate you to learn, develop and learn new things;
develop talents in various areas: copywriting, management, marketing, negotiations (when working with advertisers).

If you are interested in the topic of creating a website in order to make money on it, leave comments on the article with your questions.

Business idea 15. Home atelier - sewing and repairing clothes

Sewing and repairing clothes at home, like shoe repair, can become your home business during a crisis.

If it is not possible to purchase an expensive item in a boutique, why not alter or repair used clothes at a lower price? There is no need to pay rent for a home studio: you just need to advertise your business.

We have a friend who works from home and sews dresses, including wedding ones, and earns more than the average salary in our city.

To open a home studio, you only need your skills, a sewing machine and a desire to work.

This concludes our list of popular business ideas. We will be glad if you choose the one that suits you and build your successful business on its basis.

5. A real example of a successful business idea (our experience)

We won’t go far, an original and successful business idea is our website HeatherBober.ru, which you are on now.

We created it from scratch: from the idea and name to automatic profit generation.

Now we will not go into details and will give only some numbers.

Characteristics of the business magazine HiterBober.ru for January 2017:

How this business idea was born, how much profit the project (startup) now brings, and what types of advertising it earns from, you can learn from our article about making money from advertising on the Internet.

6. 3 legendary business ideas that changed the world

The 3 business projects below most effectively and clearly show how an original idea that seemed to be on the surface can work:

Amazon.com. The creation by American entrepreneur Jeffrey Bezos of the virtual online store Amazon, in the image and likeness of which hundreds of other chain stores now operate, has changed the idea of online sales. Like many successful companies today, Amazon was located in a garage. Its founder attracted talented programmers from Silicon Valley to create the project and, thanks to his entrepreneurial talent and focus on customer needs, became one of the greatest businessmen in history. If you are considering opening a store on the Internet as a business idea, then study our article “how to open your own online store” - this is step-by-step instructions from practitioners of the business.
Electronic games company Atari. The creation of the first electronic game and video game manufacturing company, Atari, by Nolan Bushnell in 1972 marked the beginning of this mass industry. Nowadays, electronic games have taken over the world. WarCraft, Counter-Strike, Quake, Heroes, StarCraft, World of Tanks and many other currently popular computer games owe their origin to those now distant times when personal computers were just a big dream of mankind.
Making diapers. In the mid-20th century, Victor Mills, an employee of Procter & Gamble, invented the now world-famous consumer product disposable diaper, thereby producing a real revolution in the consumer goods market. Now this product seems so ordinary to millions of families. But in the distant 60s of the last century it was something like a human flight into space. Now, thanks to the well-known Pampers brand, all diapers have come to be called “diapers,” although this is only the name of the brand, and not the product itself.

In fact, there are many more than three legendary business ideas that changed the world. Hundreds and even thousands of people have used their talent, intelligence and imagination to make the world as we know it.

Analyze your abilities and talents, find what you like to do. Maybe the next person to change the world is you!

Owning your own business is a direct path to financial freedom. Nowadays, any motivated person can engage in entrepreneurial activity and achieve great success. The most important thing is to find new ideas for business in 2019, the newest ideas that will work in modern conditions.

Business with China

Chinese products are confidently conquering the domestic market, so if you are looking for new business niches in 2019, try reselling goods from China. This is a fairly promising area of activity that guarantees beginning entrepreneurs a decent, stable income.

Has many advantages:

Flaws

Huge competition;
The risk of purchasing low-quality goods;
Long delivery times;
Customs duties when ordering a large consignment of goods.

If you are interested in new business ideas in 2019 with minimal investment, you can work according to the dropshipping scheme. But in this case, you need to create your own website on which you can post photos of the product with its detailed description. Newcomers purchase products in small wholesale quantities for 10–20 thousand rubles. Due to good markups, you can make a good profit and spend it on larger purchases. If you order a large batch of goods, Chinese sellers can give you a good discount, so you shouldn’t spend too long on dropshipping.

Reselling goods from China can hardly be called a new business in Russia in 2019. Many entrepreneurs have been supplying large quantities of Chinese products to our country for a long time and earning decent money from this, so you can safely move in this direction.

Dry wash

Another new business idea for 2019 from Europe is dry car washing. This service is beneficial not only for entrepreneurs, but also for consumers. Its main advantage is environmental friendliness, safety and, of course, mobility. A person can wash his car anywhere - in the courtyard of a house, near an office or in the parking lot of an entertainment complex.

- This is a fairly profitable activity that has its advantages:

Low barrier to entry;
There is no need to rent premises or purchase special equipment;
There is no need to obtain permits;
No additional costs for water and electricity bills;
Mobility;
Development prospects;
Speed of service;
Environmental friendliness.

But this new small business idea of 2019 also has its disadvantages:

Dry washing cannot be performed in the cold season, since according to technology, special cleaning agents can only be used at above-zero temperatures. In winter, at twenty degrees below zero, hardly anyone wants to work with a rag and spray. In principle, this kind of work can be done in the garage, but then there can be no talk of any mobility;
The fender liners and the bottom of the car are poorly washed, which means that you will not be able to properly wash an overly dirty car;
High cost of quality detergents.

It is most profitable to open a dry car wash in a parking lot near a shopping or entertainment center. Here you can serve about 20 clients per day. The cost of washing is about 250 rubles. This means that in one shift you can get 5 thousand rubles in revenue. At the same time, the cost of one sink is only 20 rubles. This new business idea for 2019 can be implemented almost from scratch. The cost of one bottle of detergent is approximately 500 rubles. In addition, you need to purchase several microfiber towels. You will spend another 300 rubles on this. In total, you will need only 800 rubles to start.

Decorative chrome plating of parts

They amaze with their diversity. I would like to pay special attention to one of them. We are talking about decorative chrome plating of parts. This is the application of a special coating to the surface of various objects. You can offer your services for decorating motorcycles, bicycles, car parts, etc. The technology for applying such a coating is quite simple, so it can be easily mastered by anyone without special skills. The only problem that may arise during the work process is finding a supplier of quality reagents.

It will not require large financial investments from you. If you have your own premises, for example, a garage, you will need 100 thousand rubles to start. This money is needed to purchase special equipment and reagents. You can achieve full payback in just 2 months.

Advantages:

High level of profitability – 85-90%;
Stable profit;
Small starting capital;
Free education at the expense of the state and the possibility of receiving a free subsidy;
Exclusivity;
Demand.

Most often, chrome plating services are ordered by motorists, so it is better to implement such a new business idea in 2019 at a car service center or workshop. Some car owners even chrome the body of their car, after which it turns into a real masterpiece.

Car resale

In order to open your own business, it is not necessary to take the newest business ideas of 2019. You can follow a path that other entrepreneurs have already taken many times, for example, resell cars. This business can be safely called a home business, since to operate you do not need to rent an office or register as an individual entrepreneur. All you need to work is a computer with Internet access and a mobile phone. For each car sold, you can earn a profit of 10-20% of its total cost.

It is most profitable to deliver cars from abroad, but there are serious risks. The biggest problem is the buyer's trust, since he must make 100% advance payment. But over time you will be able to solve it. The more successful transactions a businessman makes, the more willing they will be to trust him.

In order to purchase a used domestic car, you will need approximately 50 thousand rubles. You will spend another 15 thousand rubles on its pre-sale preparation. Such a car can be sold for 80–85 thousand rubles and earn 15–20 thousand rubles on it. The more expensive the car, the more income you will receive. In general, a beginning entrepreneur must have a start-up capital of at least 500 thousand rubles. But it’s better if it’s 1–2 million rubles. In this case, you can minimize all possible risks. - This is a rather difficult, but at the same time profitable occupation. Experts recommend paying special attention to it.

Handmade

Handmade products always cost much more than mass-produced products. But, unfortunately, not all talented people who know how to do something with their own hands know that such a hobby can become a permanent source of income for them.

If you are looking for ideas for business in 2019, the newest ideas can be implemented from scratch with your own hands, with virtually no start-up investment. This is the main advantage of this line of activity. Author's execution and creativity will allow you to attract a huge number of customers to your creations. allows you to start with minimal investment. You can start with 10–20 thousand rubles and after a few years develop your business into a large, highly profitable enterprise.

Restoration of old furniture

This area of activity cannot be classified as the newest ideas of 2019, since many entrepreneurs in our country are engaged in this type of business. The main advantage of such a business is the minimum start-up investment. But you shouldn’t count on too much profit. As a rule, such an idea is used as the basis for the development of a larger-scale project. In addition to furniture repair, you can offer clients reupholstery of sofas and armchairs, as well as replacement of worn-out fittings. brings in a more substantial income, but in order to engage in such a business, you need to have special skills.

The main disadvantage of this line of activity is the high level of competition. To attract customers, offer them upholstery materials in different price categories and give good discounts at first.

You will spend approximately 10 thousand rubles on the purchase of tools. Fabrics and accessories will cost another 50 thousand rubles. Full payback occurs in about six months. Business profitability reaches 30%.

Production of inflatable trampolines

In the list of business ideas 2019, the newest ideas stand out for their originality and simplicity. Especially when it comes to the production of inflatable trampolines. In order to open such a business you will need special equipment. It will cost you about 300 thousand rubles. The cost of raw materials largely depends on its quality. It is best to purchase materials for the production of trampolines in bulk from foreign manufacturers through their official dealers. In general, with the cost of rent and staff salaries, you can meet 1 million rubles.

When asking yourself the question of what kind of business will be relevant in 2016-2017 in the context of the crisis in Russia, you must remember that owning your own business is a popular area of activity that allows a person to reveal his aspirations and turn them into reality.

According to the latest estimates, in our country today more than 3 million citizens are entrepreneurs in different legal status - individual entrepreneur, LLC. The demand for business is explained by economic conditions and difficulties in finding a job. Many businessmen have come to the understanding that they want to work independently and realize themselves in a certain direction. Some opened a business so as not to be subordinated.

Business with minimal investment

In order to get a profitable start without investing large sums of money, it is necessary to study the market and identify in which of its areas the demand is always consistently high. Below we provide a list of profitable ideas for starting a business that do not require large expenses at the initial stage.

Hair salon at home

According to research, even during a crisis, people want to look good, so opening a hairdresser or beauty salon will be a good decision. For those who cannot afford large investments, you can provide the services of a hairdresser-stylist at home.

Sale of firewood

Another type of business without large investments is the sale of firewood. In general, even in a crisis, demand will be high, since today not every village has gas, and it is necessary to heat houses during the cold period. There is no need to purchase equipment here, you just need to have a place to store firewood and a delivery vehicle. At the initial stage, you can use an old GAZelle. Additional costs are the purchase of a chainsaw.

Advice. Such a business should be opened where there is demand - in regions, small towns.

The demand for firewood is always stable, since it is impossible to heat a house with electricity due to its high cost. Not everyone can prepare firewood on their own, so there will always be customers. You can purchase raw materials for subsequent procurement of firewood and sell them at low prices from forestry districts or directly from wood processing enterprises, for which you will need to enter into an agreement with management.

Fast food

Fast food is a niche that will be in demand even in a crisis. If you don’t have enough money to open a cafe or purchase vending machines, then you don’t need to forget about your dream. To implement your plan, you can use the idea of opening a retail stall selling fast food. So one option is to sell corn dogs (sausages in dough on a stick). Investments here will be small, but incomes will be consistently high.

Smoked meat production

The production of smoked meats can also become a successful business in a crisis, as people want to eat high-quality and tasty food. The demand for food will always be high, since many will still not stop celebrating holidays. Industrial production is based on the use of “liquid smoke”; this reduces costs, but deprives the products of their unique aroma. Using a smoker will fill the meat or fish with smoke; no flavor enhancers are required, therefore, the finished product will be of high quality. This guarantees constant demand, since most people cannot afford to buy delicacies, especially during a crisis. Investments in this type of business will be minimal.

Advice. Before opening a smoking business, you must obtain all the documents and permits that allow you to work with food.

Bread production

Another type of business that will not cease to be relevant even in a crisis is the production of bread and baked goods. Investments here can be different - much depends on the aspirations and capabilities of the entrepreneur. For those who cannot afford a large start-up capital, you can implement the idea using a regular one. Over time, the income received from sales will allow you to open your own bakery. Baking bread is one of the most relevant business ideas that allows you to get a stable profit during a crisis. At the initial stage you can bake:

bread;
buns;
cakes.

For ease of work, you should organize production at home, accepting orders via telephone or the Internet.

Thermal printing on fabric

People in crisis need rest and entertainment. That is why the production of knitwear with various images created to order - thermal printing on fabric - will become a relevant type of business. Here the main attention should be paid to the development of marketing moves. You will need to invest in an advertising company and create groups on social networks if funds are limited. Directly for thermal printing on fabric you will need:

thermal film;
Printer;
thermal paper.

Income will be stable, as this service is popular.

Business in a small town: which option to choose

People who live in small towns or villages also dream of opening their own business. Before asking yourself what kind of business will be relevant in 2016-2017 amid the crisis in Russia, you need to take into account the peculiarities of the area in which you plan to open your business.

The specificity of small towns is a quiet, measured, provincial life, therefore, opening a business should be such that it does not disturb the usual way of life, but is of interest to local residents. For the businessman himself, this is an excellent opportunity to radically change his life, to bring color and variety to it.

In large cities there are many opportunities for implementing business ideas and projects - advertising works quickly, there are many sources of inspiration. For a small city, opening a boutique or nightclub will not be relevant, and in a crisis it will be unprofitable. That is why the best way to obtain a guaranteed profit is a business in various services.

Photo studio

Opening a photo studio would be a great option. People want beautiful and important events in their lives to be captured by professionals, so the services of a photographer will be in demand and relevant even when saving money. In addition, a photo studio can produce photographs for documents. You can increase profits and receive a stable income by providing on-site photography services, for example, at weddings or birthdays. In small towns, such services are in demand and are expensive enough to quickly recoup all investments.

Computer and household appliance repair services

A successful business would be the repair of household appliances or computers. In megacities, workshops are located in different areas, so finding a specialist is not difficult. Small towns most often experience a shortage of such services, so a repair business will be profitable and in demand among residents. In a crisis, it will be much more profitable to repair an item than to purchase a new one; the influx of customers will be high, and along with this, business income.

Private kindergarten

Today, in the current economic situation, it is necessary to take into account the needs of people before opening a business. In small towns, the problem of preschool institutions is acute. There are few kindergartens, the queue for them is usually very long, so there may not be enough places in them. Therefore, opening a private kindergarten will be an excellent alternative to waiting or looking for a nanny. The amount of starting capital here is quite large, which must be taken into account in advance, but the return on all investments will come quickly. Demand for such a service will be stable, provided that the payment for a child in kindergarten is acceptable.

Developmental center for children

For small towns, the issue of children's clubs remains relevant. There may not be music or art schools in the city at all, so the business may be aimed at opening a dance school. Many parents are interested in their children further developing, gaining new knowledge and skills. That is why the demand for such a service will be consistently high.

When choosing a direction of work, a businessman must take into account the possibility of independent teaching. As for the starting capital, it all depends on how many students are planned in the group. To begin with, you can develop your business by arranging individual lessons. You should also not neglect fashion trends and trends; you need to teach current trends that arouse increased interest. You should also develop a good advertising campaign, as in any other type of business, to recruit the required number of students into the group.

Satellite television

Installing satellite dishes will also be a profitable business in a small town, since TV signal reception is not always good, and the Internet speed does not allow you to watch videos online. It is impossible to connect to modern channels using a conventional antenna, so the demand for installing satellite television will be high. In order to open such a business you will need:

automobile;
tool;
antenna tuning device;
satellite map.

It is necessary to have a ladder for working at height.

Thus, business in the conditions of the 2016-2017 crisis in Russia pleases with a variety of ideas and implementation opportunities, both in large and small cities.

Business ideas with minimal investment - video

“Mobile payments”

You yourself have noticed how quickly the number of smartphone users is growing. Experts believe that this market will continue to develop. In this regard, the promise of mobile payments is clearly visible. The largest banks, Internet companies, new payment systems working with electronic currencies offer a lot of new services. This is just the beginning; mobile payment market participants are announcing new opportunities. The market is very promising, because mobile accounts for a small percentage of the total payments. Consumers appreciate the convenience of these services and look forward to new opportunities.

“Internet of Things”

The first connection of an electrical device to the Internet occurred in 1990. Now technology allows you to connect TVs, watches, and electric lamps to the Internet. In Singapore, drivers use special radio keys to automatically pay tolls on the road. Developers predict the emergence of new opportunities - for example, a refrigerator that itself orders missing products, vehicles that remind you of the need for preventative repairs or refueling. Experts believe that in the future these technologies will become a part of human life.

Every day, network users throw in a huge amount of information. The developers offer an interesting approach to using our communication on social networks, data about preferences, habits and everyday concerns. Recording, analyzing and archiving this information can significantly make our lives easier and improve service in the service sector. In 2014, the insurance company Intouch proposed installing special mobile applications that analyze a motorist's driving style. For careful driving, users are offered insurance discounts of up to 20%. Big Data has prospects in many industries, because it is possible to create offers of services and goods to meet the constant needs of the consumer, simply by analyzing the range of his interests and frequent purchases.

This system of acquiring knowledge will soon replace traditional educational institutions. Already, the most advanced universities offer entire courses that can be listened to on the Internet for free. The resource savings and social impact of this approach to knowledge provision are enormous. A person just needs to have access to the Internet, and he can gain any knowledge that was previously available to only a small part of children from wealthy families. Some universities offer students of these courses to take tests and issue official documents confirming the acquisition of knowledge.

“Online trading and grocery delivery”

In developed countries, this trend is developing very quickly and is pushing traditional shopping trips out of the market. The ability to order groceries through a special service on the Internet and receive them through delivery upon arrival at home saves a lot of time. Retail chains are also happy to develop this area, because it allows you to reduce queues at the checkout counters and significantly reduce the cost of organizing work.

“Portable gadgets”

Sports bracelets that count the number of steps and distance during race walking and running, monitor heart rate and other medical indicators have become widespread. In the near future, developers predict the emergence of new smart gadgets - multifunctional watches, glasses, rings and bracelets. The only problem facing the mass dissemination of modern technologies in this area is the too high cost of new products. For now they are available to the wealthiest consumers. But manufacturers are actively working to reduce the cost of smart gadgets, because they can be used in almost all areas.

“3D printing”

Only the lazy have not heard or read about houses built using a 3D printer. These technologies are actively used in Asia, but are gradually entering the European market. Using 3D printing, it will be possible to produce almost any non-food product. We can already say that this method of production has revolutionized and expanded possibilities incredibly. There will soon be dramatic changes in the labor market and in many industries. This technology allows not only to save on the cost of goods, but also to produce things that were not even attempted to be put into production using traditional methods.

"Robots"

Surely you have already seen presentation videos with new developments by scientists. The introduction of drones for the delivery of purchases is being seriously discussed; cars are appearing that are controlled by an automated system and do not require active actions from the driver. Ideas from books, in which a robot nanny takes care of babies, or a robot gardener takes care of the lawn near the house, no longer seem fantastic and quietly enter our everyday life. It is noteworthy that in the modern world, large capital is not needed to create a progressive robot - interesting startups appear every day that can not only make people’s lives or work much easier, but also revolutionize the perception of robotics.

“Batteries”

The sharp development and great prospects of this direction are noticeable even in everyday life. Devices that 5 years ago worked only after being connected to the electrical network are now equipped with batteries. With the development of alternative energy sources, this area has become even more interesting, and promises great prospects for those who can quickly adapt and start working with new technologies. The issue of conserving resources and creating new types of batteries that provide recharging without being tied to traditional energy sources is recognized as one of the most pressing today.

“Commercial real estate in the regions”

Modern offices and shopping centers are commonplace in megacities, but literally 100 km from big cities it is impossible to find decent commercial real estate premises. The demand for this type of real estate in the regions is very high; the prospects are also increased due to the relatively low cost of land plots. Experts say that interest in this area is quite high, especially in medium-sized cities with developing industries.

“Smart materials”

This direction covers many areas of the economy. Scientists are actively working to create super-strong, environmentally friendly and durable fabrics, construction and industrial materials. Many people know how high the expectations are for nanoparticles, which can revolutionize not only the economic but also the medical sphere.

“Components for automobiles”

The demand for cars is growing relentlessly, and forecasts show that this trend will continue in the coming decades. Manufacturers are constantly working to improve old models and create new ones. If only very large companies can handle the complete assembly of a car, then small enterprises can produce various components. International corporations are happy to enter into contracts with contractors around the world, because this allows them to significantly reduce the cost of cars.

“Healthcare”

With the development of technology and new discoveries by scientists, medicine is gaining more and more opportunities to cure diseases that were previously considered hopeless. At this stage, there is a clear tendency to change the basic approaches to the organization of healthcare. Those who can adopt innovative approaches have enormous prospects.

"Recycling"

Environmental scientists are literally screaming that humanity is drowning and suffocating due to excess waste and irresponsible attitude towards its disposal. The emergence of new technologies for recycling waste into new products or energy sources has given the planet hope. In the coming decades, we can expect a sharp surge in activity in this direction. New enterprises specializing in waste disposal and recycling receive support from governments, non-profit and public organizations, because their activities are extremely important for all humanity.

“Private alternative energy”

An example is the appearance of solar panels in private households. As a rule, they fully satisfy the family's needs; the excess can be sold to neighbors at affordable rates. In many countries, residents of cities and streets create associations and provide themselves with cheap energy. This trend will develop, because people really need it.

"Space"

The development of technology is bringing people closer to space. They are talking seriously about space tourism, the possibility of creating settlements on other planets, and flights to other galaxies. The prospects of this direction are extremely high, because the resource of our planet is not eternal. The super profits of companies working in this direction also confirm this.

“Care for the Elderly”

The increase in the number of older people is a global trend. Modern medicine is making progress in treating many diseases and saving lives, but has not yet found a recipe for prolonging youth. The services of services that provide assistance to older people in solving various everyday issues, providing care for the sick, are in increasing demand, and this trend will develop.

"Franchising"

The advantages of this method of starting a business are so obvious that every year more and more businessmen prefer this option. For large companies, this development path is also more profitable. Experts say that the franchising market will grow. This will lead to an increase in the level of service, a decrease in the number of bankruptcies and the unemployment rate. It’s not just large companies that are creating franchise offers. This method of development is also chosen by newcomers who have achieved some success and tested their business model in practice. Franchises are often offered by companies that specialize in the implementation of modern technologies, mobile applications and other progressive areas.

"Agriculture"

Scientists say that the role of agriculture will grow as the world's population increases. There are already very reasonable concerns about looming food shortages and the need to support more efficient agricultural practices. At the same time, active work is underway to develop environmentally friendly technologies. Those who manage to occupy this niche will soon find themselves a big winner. New discoveries make it possible to grow plants without soil, in an aquatic environment. Scientists are looking for new ways to replace dangerous pesticides with safer pest control products. There are many innovative and effective approaches to farming; it is only important to implement them and make money by reducing the cost of food.

“Geological exploration”

The issue of natural resources is very acute. Fortunately, the depths of the planet have not yet been fully explored, and every day there are reports of the discovery of a new deposit of oil, gas and other minerals. There is a real war going on in the world for natural resources, and those who are involved in the search and development of new deposits have great prospects for the future. But that's not all. Humanity is faced with the question of rational use of resources and finding new ways to extract them from the depths. The main task is to preserve nature as much as possible and not destroy forests and the top fertile layer of soil.
