How to create a personal business from scratch. Six Basic Steps

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

How to open a business in a crisis

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

Founder and owner of Tinkoff Bank.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Founder and owner of the Dodo Pizza chain of pizzerias.

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

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

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

Founder and owner of the Expedition company.

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

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

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

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

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

TOP - 15 business ideas during a crisis

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

You can also get useful information from the article about.

Business idea No. 1 – Opening an online store

Preliminary costs- from 200,000 rubles.

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

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

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

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

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

Business idea No. 2 – Opening a street fast food

Preliminary cost of the project- 275,000 rubles.

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

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

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

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

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

Initial investment- 400,000 rubles.

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

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

Successful development of production is possible in the case of:

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

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

Business idea No. 4 – Bakery and confectionery

Approximate investment amount– 1,000,000 rubles.

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

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

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

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

Business Idea No. 5 – Opening an outsourcing company

Minimum investment– 550,000 rubles.

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

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

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

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

Business idea No. 6 – Opening a canteen

Minimum investment– 1,000,000 rubles.

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

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

The main cost items may be:

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

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

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

Minimum investment– 500,000 rubles.

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

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

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

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

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

Amount of capital investments- over 300,000 rubles.

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

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

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

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

Business idea No. 9 – Opening a pharmacy

Preliminary costs- from 500,000 rubles.

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

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

To implement the project you will need:

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

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

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

Estimated investments- 300,000 rubles.

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

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

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

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

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

Business idea No. 11 – Opening training courses

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

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

Business Idea No. 12 – Farm Products

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

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

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

Estimated investments- 700,000 rubles.

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

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

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

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

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

Business idea No. 14 – Manufacturing business or import substitution

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

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

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

Business idea No. 15 – Home-based beauty salon

Estimated investments - 30 000.

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

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

10th place: Restoration of old and antique items

Repairing and adding newness to old and familiar things has become a popular activity again in Russia. This applies to many everyday items: furniture, clothes or shoes. The reason for the popularity of this service lies in the consequences of the financial crisis, from which our country still cannot get out: people are trying to optimize their expenses and are thinking about repairing, rather than buying new things or items.

✅ Advantages of a business idea:

• You can use old household items to start a business;
• Minimum cash investment;
• You can buy antiques cheaply for restoration, with further resale.

❌ Possible disadvantages:

• To be successful, you need to provide a wide range of services;
• Requires special knowledge and skills.

9th place: Cafe on wheels

The newest idea for financial earnings in the catering industry. Its main advantage is that you can get maximum profit by moving your small restaurant to the right place and at the right time. A small example: during the day you can be located near educational institutions or in the area of ​​office centers, and in the evening the cafe can be sent to recreational areas - an amusement park or to the tourist streets of the city.

✅ Advantages of a business idea:

• Fast payback;
• Small starting capital;
• Minimum number of employees: you can do the business yourself.

❌ Possible disadvantages:

• Only for large cities;
• Difficulty maintaining the workplace;
• Selling equipment that is no longer needed will be quite difficult.

8th place: Corn dog trade

Another way to earn money that the residents of our country will like because of the novelty of the product. This is a grilled sausage, and it differs from a regular hot dog in the way it is prepared: it is baked on a stick, in a bag of corn dough. The cooking process does not take much time, is visible to customers (they will know that the dish is made from fresh ingredients), and the food itself can be sold at an affordable and low price: in general, tasty, cheap and cheerful. Corn dogs will be a new and good addition to the menu of any cafe, including a mobile one.

✅ Advantages of a business idea:

• Minimum amount of cash costs;
• Quick cooking;
• Business is not difficult to organize: it pays off quickly.

❌ Possible disadvantages:

• Poor assortment;
• Dependence of revenue on the location of the outlet;
• Only for large populated areas.

Potato hot dogs can be an alternative to corn dogs. They are similar in the manufacturing method, the main difference is in the breading: pieces of French fries are added on top of the frying.

7th place: Interior design services

The demand for the services of designers is growing every day and their services are in great demand in large cities. When opening a cafe or restaurant, you don’t have to be a chef; similarly, when opening a design studio, you don’t need to be a master of this craft. It is enough to hire experienced designers and provide them with orders. That is, the most important thing in this matter is the ability to find workers and clients, to be, so to speak, a connecting link

✅ Advantages of a business idea:

• Intellectual work requires minimal financial investment;
• It pays for itself quickly;
• The work of designers is in demand in the market.

❌ Possible disadvantages:

• Your personal qualities as a manager: you need to be a truly sociable person who can also at least superficially understand the trends of the modern market.

6th place: Cleaning with removal of snow and garbage

We have certain regions of the country in which the winter period is characterized by a large amount of snowfall. Some owners of private houses or industrial buildings are reluctant to clean it themselves, and the city hall or village administration simply does not have enough strength and resources for this useful task. Why not help your city and also get paid for it? The clients of such a company can be large and small companies, owners of gas stations and parking lots, and individuals. All-season work will be ensured by the multifunctionality of the enterprise: in winter a snowplow will work, and in other seasons people with special equipment will operate. waste cleaning devices.

✅ Advantages of a business idea:

• High demand for services;
• Good profitability;

❌ Possible disadvantages:

• One of the most expensive projects in the rating, due to the fairly high initial capital investment;
• It is necessary to additionally agree on waste removal locations, which leads to unnecessary financial expenses.

5th place: Trade in soft ice cream

Almost everyone loves this delicacy. The idea of ​​selling ice cream looks attractive for several reasons. Firstly, minimal financial expenses. Secondly, there is no need for specific training: anyone can trade. Thirdly, an ice cream stall or cart will not take up much space, so the products can be sold almost anywhere. With the right approach to the project, it can pay for itself in just a few months.

✅ Advantages of a business idea:

• Minimum starting capital;
• Fast payback;

❌ Possible disadvantages:

• The goods are perishable: you need to carefully analyze the purchasing power of potential buyers;
• Seasonal business.

4th place: Rental of recreational vehicles

To implement this idea of ​​​​earning money, it is enough to buy or rent a small plot in a crowded recreation area, equipped with an electrical network and entertainment vehicles: roller skates, gyro scooters and controlled electric cars for the youngest visitors to your site. The flow of customers is guaranteed, since you can attract the most diverse audience of visitors, and the time-based payment system will help you quickly recoup the initial costs.

✅ Advantages of a business idea:

• Popular form of entertainment;
• Small depreciation financial expenses;

❌ Possible disadvantages:

• Average payback time;
• Seasonal business.

3rd place: Selling food and drinks in edible containers

This is an almost unoccupied business niche in our country. In the West and in the States there are already many catering establishments where soup or coffee is served in edible containers. They have already proven their effectiveness for businessmen due to their low initial costs and their environmental friendliness: there is practically no waste left after eating. In addition, the appearance of such fast food dishes looks attractive and cute. For example, coffee with whipped cream in an edible cup looks like ice cream, so its hot taste mixed with chocolate amazes the buyer with its unusual contrasts.

✅ Advantages of a business idea:

• Eco-friendly type of business;
• Fashion trend;
• Fast payback.

❌ Possible disadvantages:

• Availability of qualified personnel;
• Large financial expenses at the stage of starting a business.

2nd place: Installation of instant food machines

Another empty business niche in our country: businessmen, out of habit, are afraid to use automated product sales systems because of their unfounded prejudices. At the same time, the average consumer is already accustomed to using ATMs and cash registers to top up accounts, so he will definitely like using machines to quickly get tasty and sometimes healthier food. In Europe, you can find machines for steaming French fries or vending devices for making fresh baked goods everywhere.

An additional advantage of the idea is the variety of devices: they can be installed selectively in those places where they will definitely be in demand. For example, machines for producing French fries are in shopping centers, and devices for creating fresh baked goods, including fresh bread, are in home and residential areas.

✅ Advantages of a business idea:

• Minimum number of service personnel
• Long shelf life of consumable food ingredients;
• Free business niche.

❌ Possible disadvantages:

• High cost of devices.

1st place: Cooking and delivering homemade lunches to offices

At the moment, the owners and owners of cafes and restaurants, in the wake of eternal inflation, are shamelessly raising the price of their concoctions. At the same time, a dish prepared on an assembly line is not as tasty as home-cooked food. Therefore, home-made lunches delivered to the office, which are usually much cheaper, are becoming increasingly popular. It is enough to find just a few large clients (with 20-40 employees constantly ordering food) and earnings can be up to fifty thousand rubles a week.

✅ Advantages of a business idea:

• Demand for the service;
• Minimal financial expenses both at the beginning and for the purchase of products;
• Fast payback.

❌ Possible disadvantages:

• You really have to know how to cook;
• Only for big cities.

New profitable business: what to choose and where to start?

Unfortunately, the consequences of the protracted financial crisis are making themselves felt and starting a new business today is quite difficult and not always profitable. It’s not for nothing that in the top 10 best business ideas, most of the places were occupied by options for your own business related to the production or delivery of food. This is the fastest and easiest way to make money on today's Russian market: we love to eat a lot and deliciously. However, in this type of business, to achieve a decent result, you need to put in a lot of effort and work.

Many businessmen have a great desire to open their own business without an initial investment. Therefore, in this article we will talk about what kind of business you can open at home in 2017 from scratch without investment. We should also find out which will be the most relevant in 2017-2018?

Agree, many of you probably want to create your own business, learn how to run it competently, create and gather a friendly team of employees around you, properly manage and manage cash flows, thereby developing your business. But there are some obstacles at the very beginning. And they can ruin your plans for the future. Every person clearly understands that in the absence of initial capital (cash investments), it will be difficult for him to solve the problem. Often, a person simply does not have the opportunity to get a loan or borrow the necessary amount of money from his friends or acquaintances. And all his attempts to raise money only lead him to the fact that the finances will simply be spent on what is most necessary, or on solving problems that have arisen. Understanding all this, a huge disappointment arises in a person’s mind. But if you look at this problem from the other side, then not everything is as bad as it seems. Even if you have finances, in this situation you need to manage them correctly. Or you could lose everything. Seriously, there are business ideas that do not require financial investment from you. They will allow you not only to earn a good profit, but will also help you save a lot of money to make your long-time big dream come true. Considering all kinds of business ideas with the least investment, try to choose for yourself one that can actually become a very favorite and close thing for you. You should remember that only a business that will bring you satisfaction and will not cause you negativity and excessive fatigue will be a good source of profit for you. The chosen business can generate many new opportunities and contribute to its successful development.

How to choose an idea for a business: what you should pay attention to before creating a personal business

In order for home business ideas to bring profit in 2017, you need to carefully consider the choice of a specific business idea. First you need to determine for yourself how much you want to meet all the given conditions. Write them all down on a piece of paper with more honesty. Where there is a 100% match, add pluses. After this, you will understand which specific types of activities are more vulnerable. And you, in turn, will have the opportunity to move in this direction.

Psychology. Every start requires a lot of effort. They are usually associated with a waste of personal time, labor and nerves. Try to understand whether you can sacrifice your financial stability from the salary you receive, good family relationships, personal friendly contacts for the sake of a new business. You should understand that you will need to search not only for office space, working personnel, possible delivery channels, and further sale of goods, but also to independently debug all the work until it becomes automatic. In addition, it is also necessary to work on personal resistance to stressful situations. It is the latter that will help you take the first step.

Choosing the main field of activity. Pre-analyze the locality or area in which you want to open your business. Try to find out which specific direction is very poorly developed in a given place, and in which area, on the contrary, there is a lot of competition. Find out for yourself personally whether you have a great desire to work in your chosen direction, expect a profitable period, and achieve good results in your work. Surely, the chosen field of activity will lead you to the point where, after some time, your personal interest will gradually fade away, and the work you put in will be completely in vain. In addition, you should definitely learn to maintain full control over your employees, correctly understand all emerging problems, in order to be able to understand the state of affairs.

Start-up capital. As we wrote above, before you start creating your own business, you do not need to deviate from your plan if you do not have the necessary cash capital. You need to start small. Of course, this can lead to huge time expenditures, but it will help you create your own business without loans, very high interest rates and urgent repayments. You should also remember that getting a loan or a loan to create a personal business is quite difficult. In addition, a large sum of money will need to be withdrawn from the income received each month. You also need to remember that at the start of opening any business will not be as smooth as it might seem. In addition to all of the above, you should not engage in attracting the finances that were previously set aside for your children, or for their education, treatment, etc. Be reasonable even if someone offers you to create a large-scale business that can pay off in 2-3 months, or a franchise. These supposedly profitable projects will entail huge financial expenses and, as a rule, do not meet the expectations of the entrepreneur.

Target. To open a business without investment in 2017, you need to take a lot into account. And if you don’t handle this moment wisely, you could end up at a serious loss. So, when choosing an idea, you need to admit to yourself what specific result you want to see. Perhaps this is a great desire to manage a large number of people, or the opportunity to prove to others personal abilities by becoming a successful businessman. If you are guided by a specific goal listed above, then most likely it will lead you to negative results. Business is a complex of certain actions, where you need to fully invest yourself in the chosen business, combining all goals into a single whole. You need to be confident in the successful outcome of this business. Only a person who has a positive inner attitude can clearly and correctly perceive any situation that arises, choosing a more optimal solution.

Quality. Try to determine for yourself whether you are ready to ensure the quality of the services provided or goods sold. It should be remembered that most modern businessmen, in order to quickly return their investments, rely not on quality, but on quantity, and do not want to deal with emerging claims or complaints from consumers. It is for this reason that the consumer will choose only the service that was provided to him in the best possible way. Based on this, sales channels will be developed, good partnerships will also be built, and a positive reputation will arise about your company. Many businessmen have a myth that having a large amount of capital can be a simpler and easier start for them. It may seem that thanks to this, all emerging difficulties will be solved very quickly and easily, good results will be achieved more easily, and the initial preparatory period will be less painful. But this statement is not true. Most of the documents are quite easy to prepare yourself, you just need to try to understand them. You can register your business at any time, start developing primary documents, select the right premises, select employees, and organize the minimum conditions for their activities. Of course, you will spend a huge amount of time and effort on all this in the absence of funds. It is likely that it will be much easier for you to purchase or register an offshore organization.

Grows quickly in any soil.

Man is an interesting creature. On the one hand, his consumer abilities are not limited in any way and society has turned into a consumer society. On the other hand, as psychologists say, we are limited by the problem of choice. The more and more complex the choices, the less we consume. Various companies take advantage of this, artificially limiting their range. Remember, for example, the number of offers from two smartphone manufacturers - Apple and Samsung. The first manufacturer was always faithful to this formula, producing only a few models at a time. The second tried to cover all market segments and produced a whole line of phones - from cheap to expensive. Recently, the Korean giant has chosen the strategy of its American counterpart. Which confirms the consumption thesis.

A new form of business is built on this effect - business out of the box. When a client is asked to pay for a subscription, and the selection of goods that will be periodically sent to him via subscription lies entirely with the business itself. That is, by simplifying the form of consumption, we can turn a single purchase into an ongoing relationship between the client and the business. Which is why it is valuable.

Most foreign companies and individuals are looking for such specialists to work on their projects. Paying for work in foreign currency. Which is also appreciated by specialists. And thanks to the Internet, you can work remotely without leaving your home. Contributes to this.

Online store as a business idea 2017

The meaning of this type of business activity with a minimum investment is as follows: You purchase certain products and then resell them through an electronic store at a higher cost. Such entrepreneurship has a number of advantages, among which it is necessary to highlight:

• the ability to constantly earn money on identical products;
• sales automation;
• sales delegation.

But there are also disadvantages. For example, one way or another you will have to spend money on purchasing goods and finding a room to store them. The process of organizing the reception of calls, as well as the delivery of orders to customers, will also require large financial investments from you. In addition, a large amount of time is spent on packaging goods, issuing invoices and returning defective items.

For this reason, if you consider this option as a business idea in 2017 with minimal investment, we recommend that you work through the dropshipping system (that is, promote another online store).
