Main presence desires and everything else will follow!

Imagine, with the help of your business, you can work for yourself, and not “for your uncle”, not need money and spend more time not on work, but on your family and hobbies! You will have freedom!

  • What business idea to choose for a small town?
  • How can you start your own business from scratch?
  • What mistakes do new entrepreneurs often make and how to avoid them?

Let's not delay - let's go!👇

1. Why is it important to start a business with minimal investment?

Before we move on to business ideas, I will explain a couple of very important aspects of starting any business. Believe me, these simple and key knowledge will save you a lot of money and time (tested on yourself)!🙂

First what you need to understand - any business starts with small! At the beginning, all you need is to find out if the business idea will be in demand in your city, i.e. Will it pay off and make money!

Therefore, at the beginning no need to invest all your money (especially if you don’t have a lot of them) into a business idea – especially if you are still a “newbie” in business. In the early stages, you should have only the most necessary what it takes to get your business up and running!

For example, many start their business right at home, in a garage, in a country house, on the Internet ... - there is nothing unusual about this!

⭐️ The bottom line is that the most great risks of failure arise precisely at the stage of opening your business, so first try to minimize your investment as much as possible. Because until you try, you won’t know whether this business idea will be profitable.

If you have very little or practically no money, then choose business ideas that require only the investment of your time (there are such - usually it is the service sector)! Some of these business ideas from scratch will be described in this article!

Now let's finally move on to business ideas that are usually great for a small town! :)

2. Business ideas with minimal investment in a small town: TOP 30 proven ideas

There are really a lot of business ideas - you can’t count them in one article, but we tried to select the most relevant ones for you and with minimal investment!

Of course, very detailed description each of the ideas is not enough for one article (and you probably won’t be interested in reading everything 😀), so we will provide the main and most valuable information.

Thus, the main thing in this business:

  • find a suitable place from 8 to 40 sq. meters );
  • negotiate with window manufacturers on deliveries;
  • find a measurer and window fitters.

Moreover, measurers and installers often have a piece-rate salary - from completed orders!

Your main expenses will fall on the rent and equipment of the premises.

Although the competition in this niche is usually above average, nevertheless, it is more than possible to open a successful business!

💡Example successful business!
In our city (about 100 thousand people), a small office (about 10-15 sq. m. in total) was very successfully opened for the sale of window installation, as well as roller shutters, stretch ceilings ...

But most importantly, it was opened right next to a large building materials store - that is, where there is a direct target audience! Accordingly, some of the clients who came for building materials order windows from them (by the way, I am no exception, I was also their client😀).

Yes, and if you do not have your own suitable window delivery vehicle, then you can use the services of a freight forwarder.

Business idea number 7: Stock and second-hand clothing stores

Many people have a desire to buy quality clothes, but most can not afford it.

Therefore, there are more and more stores that sell fashion and branded clothes mainly from Europe at discounted prices (stock and second-hand stores).

Stock stores offer discounted collections from past seasons, and second-hand stores offer clothes that look new (without visible wear), but which have already been used.

This is a great idea for a small town, as the competition in this area is usually very low.

☝️Note!
To open this business, a room with an area of ​​​​ from 30 to 100 sq. meters. At the same time, it is important that the store is located in a passable place.

You also need to carefully consider the choice of clothing suppliers in order to form a suitable assortment. Suppliers, by the way, sell clothes in bags (usually from 20 kg.) At a price from 100 to 500 rubles/kg .

This is a very profitable business that does not require large investments and quickly pays off!

Business Idea #8: Mini Bakery

Another great business idea is to open your own mini-bakery.

Nowadays, bakeries are very popular among the population and all because there you can always buy always fresh bakery products for every taste.

Even in small towns, a mini-bakery can bring in a good income, since the competition here is usually low.

☝️ If you choose a suitable room (so as not to invest a lot of money in its reconstruction, and even more so construction from scratch), then you can invest within 200-300 tr.

Average cost per car wash 250-600 r.(depending on the city), the cost is about 100-250 rubles. Total income on average 150-300 r. from one sink .

The income of a car wash directly depends on the location, so you need to take this seriously and analyze the main busy roads near hypermarkets, residential areas and choose a place with the highest car flow and optimal rent.

Also Additional services will increase the profitability of a car wash:

  • car polish,
  • salon cleaning.

Payback 2-3 months - depends on the flow of customers, give discounts to regular customers.

Business Idea #12: Hair Salon

Hairdressing salons are very popular and in demand among the population. In addition, large investments are not required to organize such a business.

Despite the fact that competition in this area is usually great, nevertheless, there are still “white spots” on the city map where you can profitably open a hairdresser.

Example!
In our city, a network of hairdressing salons was opened 2-3 years ago, which began to position themselves as budget-friendly (that is, aimed exclusively at an audience that is trying to save on everything). It was this positioning that became their key to success!

It's about why in business important to be different !

It is better to place a hairdressing salon in a residential complex or a shopping center, in general, there is traffic there and at the same time the rent is not too high.

By the way, it is often people who have completed courses / training as a hairdresser who open hairdressing salons. In this case, at first you don’t even need to look for employees.

Mini-hairdressing salon for 2 places can be opened only from 150 thousand rubles. Investments mainly involve:

  • Costs of renting premises;
  • Purchase of the necessary equipment (hairdressing tools);
  • Purchasing furniture (armchairs, mirrors, tables…);
  • Decorating a barbershop.

The optimal markup 200-250 percent , the main expenses will go to rent and salaries of employees.

Payback from 3 to 4 months in case of successful organization of the business.

Business Idea #13: Children's Playground

Many parents often have no one to leave their child under supervision. A children's playground is a great and inexpensive solution to this problem.

In addition, open a nursery playground much easier (and cheaper) than organizing a private kindergarten.

❗️ On average, to open your own mini-rope park, you will need from 200 thousand rubles. The costs will mainly be required for the purchase of rope ladders, bungee ropes and for rent.

Average ticket price from 100 to 300 rubles .

Rope parks can be both outdoors and indoors. Rope parks on the street, that is, in nature, are in great demand.

The costs of opening an indoor rope city are usually higher.

— Direction 6 — Business on the Internet

💡 The Internet is good because it erases the boundaries and therefore it does not matter in which city / village you live! In addition, the Internet is a great place to start a business from scratch!

Business idea No. 26: Business on the Avito site

Avito is currently the largest platform free ads in Russia, which is visited daily by millions of people. Almost everything is bought and sold here!

It often even happens that Avito is the most important source of sales for business, and in most cases it is free. That is, the biggest advantage of Avito is that here you can build a business without any investment at all.

There are 3 main areas of how you can make money on Avito:

  • sell goods wholesale and retail (both new and used);
  • provide services (what you know how to do);
  • engage in mediation (find clients for business and take your remuneration for this).

⭐️ Personal example!
By the way, I started with exactly 2 options: I was looking for clients, I worked for myself on average 2-3 hours a day (about 10 days a month) and earned about 15-30 thousand rubles per month and I still have a lot of free time!

As for me, this is a great alternative to hired work.

But not only for private traders, but also for business, Avito is a powerful source of attracting customers. Many simply hire people who submit dozens or even hundreds of free ads a day (the more ads, the more calls, the more sales).

Here is an example of how even students managed to get out of debt and earn 300 thousand only with the help of Avito:

As for mediation, this is also a fairly profitable line of business. All you need to do is advertise (find clients) and negotiate partnerships with those who already own a particular business.

Business idea No. 27: One-pagers (dropshipping)

Another very popular business idea on the Internet today is the sale of goods through dropshipping through a special website - a one-pager (landing page).

In this case, you will also not need a large investment, since you do not need to have goods in stock - all goods will be sent directly from the supplier to your customer. In this case, you will receive profit from the margin on the goods.

To do this, you will need to find the best-selling products (bestsellers, usually sold at 990-2990 rubles), select several of them, create one-page pages for them and set up advertising (in social networks, teaser networks, contextual advertising, YAN ...).

Some, instead of one-pagers, open groups on Vkontakte and other social networks and sell goods through them.

However, in this case, it is very important to be able to work effectively with advertising (or find such a specialist), because. it is the only source of sales.

Business idea No. 28: Information site

Another common type of business without investments on the Internet is the creation and promotion of information sites on a specific topic.

The topic can be almost anything - besides, if you already like some direction and you are already well versed in it, then it is best to choose this topic (for example, cooking, tourism, construction, finance, gardening ...).

❗️ The bottom line is that you create a site (you can create it yourself within 1-2 days), register a domain name for the site (usually it costs from 99 r.) and place it on the hosting ( ≈150 r/month). This is all, however, and costs (if you do everything else yourself)!

Next, you write articles on popular topics for people, thus helping people understand certain issues. For those who do not want to write articles themselves, you can hire copywriters on freelance exchanges who will write articles for you for a fee.

As soon as the first users appear, it will be possible to connect advertising (for example, from Yandex Direct or Google Adsense) and receive income.

Over time, website traffic will grow, and your income will grow along with it. Thus, doing what you love and sharing useful information Readers can make money.

In addition, you can buy a ready-made site that already generates income (for example, on the Tender site - telderi.ru). Here you can also sell your sites!

Business Idea #29: Online Store

Today, literally everything is sold via the Internet: from a pen to large-sized equipment.

In addition, there is a clear trend that more and more people prefer to buy goods via the Internet.

An online store, unlike the same one-pagers, is aimed at selling not 1-2 products, but a whole group of products.

⚡️ Opening your online store is much cheaper and easier than a regular store in the city. At first, it is not even necessary to have goods in stock and your own warehouse (you can work on dropshipping).

And, in my opinion, it’s even stupid to spend a lot of money on the purchase of goods and a warehouse if you don’t have a built-in sales flow yet.

In general, 2 things are important here: SEO website promotion in search engines and competent advertising setting. If you are not familiar with them, then it is better to find a trusted specialist.

By the way, the well-known Yandex Market platform can also become an excellent source of sales.

Business Idea #30: Infobusiness

Infobusiness is the sale of valuable information via the Internet, that is, training for money.

By the way, the info business is one of the most profitable businesses in the world that you can start from scratch.

☝️ Information businessmen can earn hundreds and millions of rubles by simply sharing useful information with people.

4. The most common mistakes of novice entrepreneurs - TOP-7

Many aspiring entrepreneurs do not fully understand how a business works and, accordingly, often make mistakes when opening it.

Therefore, I decided to write a small section in which I highlighted the most common mistakes novice businessmen make. I really hope that this information will be valuable to you:

Mistake #1:

Fear of competition. Do not be afraid of competition - the presence of competitors is good! Firstly, it means that the goods/services in this niche are in good demand. Secondly, there is an opportunity to evaluate competitors (their strengths and weaknesses) and gain valuable experience. Thirdly, competition forces you to develop your business!

Mistake #2:

Take credits and loans. If you are starting a business for the first time in your life, then you definitely should not take various loans and loans. Do you still have not enough experience! It is a completely different matter if you have been in business for more than one year and understand how it works from the inside.

Mistake #3:

Wrong business priorities. Let me remind you once again that business is not your personal office and not your status. CEO”, and this is primarily a sale! Everything else is an add-on. This is especially important to understand when you are just building your business!

Mistake #4:

Sell ​​what no one has heard of. Many beginners in business think that you can make good money if you sell some new product which is not yet on the market. This is partly true, but many ignore the fact that 8 out of 10 new products fail !

If you have experience and money, then please! But if you are just starting your first business, and there is not much money to test different niches and suffer losses at first, then this is not for you!

Mistake #5:

Act like everyone else (do not differ). You need to understand that consumers primarily seek those entrepreneurs who offer them " maximum benefit» .

But consumers are also different - each of them has their own interests: some want cheaper, others better quality, the third generally cares about speed (manufacturing, delivery ...), etc.

Therefore, your task is to understand what exactly your “target audience” wants the most and give them this maximum value.

Try to imagine "portrait" your client and think about how you can improve your product/service to stand out from your competitors!

💡 For example, even if you sell the same thing as your competitors, you can offer a better service (relation to the client), expand product range, do fast/free shipping

Mistake #6:

Sell ​​low-quality services/goods. Attempts to quickly cash in on the sale of low-quality goods and services will not lead you to anything good! Treat others as yourself and you will easily be able to build a successful business.

Mistake #7:

Don't know how to delegate. Being a jack of all trades and understanding all the nuances of your business is good, but for the time being. Business should not become for you a place where you spend around the clock!

At first, while the business is not strong and is at the stage of development, it is perhaps better for everyone to do it on their own.

But when it already brings a steady income, try to find the right people whom you can trust and delegate some of your responsibilities!

☝️ Important!
Business, like everything else, should be fun and take up only part of your time, not your whole life!

And finally: even if you make certain mistakes, take them as an incredibly valuable experience, learn from them! As a rule, only those who do nothing do not make mistakes!😀

5. Conclusion

I hope now you are convinced that it is very possible to open your own business with minimal investment or from scratch!

Once again, the guaranteed way to succeed in business is indeed love business, which you are engaged in, then no competitors are afraid! In addition, then you will never “work” again, but will only do what you like!

At the end of the article, I suggest you watch a short video:

I wish you good luck and success in opening your future business!👍

How to build a business in a small town?

It is possible only in big cities where money and highly qualified personnel are concentrated, but this is not the case. Of course, the specifics of entrepreneurship will be different from that inherent in megacities, but the income will not be long in coming. Moreover, the costs of its organization will be significantly lower, and if you still well calculate and come up with a development strategy, you can completely capture the market in the region.

A business from scratch in a small town can be profitable for several reasons:

  1. Small start-up capital. In small towns, the costs associated with renting premises, utility bills, advertising and personnel are much lower.
  2. Low level of competition, because many niches are free due to the limited presence of goods and services.
  3. Small business in the "average" regional city can be easily developed, reaching new frontiers.
  4. High efficiency free advertising("word of mouth"). In small towns, the demand for a product or service largely depends on the level of customer satisfaction. If an entrepreneur offers a quality product or provides good services, then the rumor about his activities will instantly spread throughout the city, which will attract a lot of new customers.

Advice: the situation with word of mouth can work in a negative direction. Do not save on quality, this can lead to a drop in financial profit and bankruptcy of the enterprise.

Speaking about organizing your business in a small town, one cannot fail to mention its weak sides:

  1. Small permeability. In a small town, an entrepreneur has a limited circle of clients. It is better to choose those places that are convenient for the client (walking distance, access roads, etc.).
  2. Low wages. Small towns are characterized by low purchasing power.
  3. a lack of qualified personnel. It would be right to choose a promising business that does not require the involvement of specialists - it is very difficult, and sometimes impossible, to find them in a small town.

What kind of business can be opened in a small town?

It all depends on what the goal is pursued by the entrepreneur. If money is a priority, then it is necessary to consider the most profitable areas of activity. If the whole idea is for the sake of pleasure and earning a living, then everything is much simpler here.

In pursuit of extracting maximum profit, the first thing to do is to analyze the market and identify the 5-10 most profitable areas in the region of interest. Then select the most optimal option from the presented list and take up its implementation. There is one unspoken rule to follow. If an entrepreneur wants to succeed, then his services must be of better quality than those of competitors, at least they should not be worse. After all, the determining factor influencing the choice of the client is the price and quality.

If the priority goal is “business for pleasure”, then you should choose an idea to your liking. It may be, or other interesting solutions. It is better to give preference to a case that will make you want to do business in 2-5 years or more. It is worth noting that even "business as a hobby" can bring very good money.

What to look for when choosing a field of activity?

Choosing what to do, an entrepreneur must rely on his own knowledge, skills and desires.

  1. Having experience. The person who is going to must understand hairstyles, hair cosmetics, equipment and tools. If a businessman wants to engage in trade, then it is in his interests to know the answers to the questions: where to buy goods, what assortment is most in demand, how to arrange everything correctly, etc. Before opening an unfamiliar business, it is necessary to consult with more experienced specialists or take information from books and forums.
  2. Availability of free time. In the first year, you will have to devote all your free time to the business, even if the staff will work for it.
  3. presence of interest. Doing business is always accompanied by risk, headache and endless worries. If you can easily quit a boring job, then quitting your own business will not work. The owner will have to fight all the time for a place in the sun and resolve issues that have arisen. At least at first.
  4. demand for goods and services. An entrepreneur needs to answer two questions: will his services be popular and will he be able to secure a sufficient influx of customers.

Advice: If you are going to do an interesting and unfamiliar business, the first thing to do is to study this area in more detail. It would be good to get a job like this. 2-3 months of employment will allow you to get the missing information and experience "from the inside".

How to start your business from scratch in a small town?

Starting your own business from scratch is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance. There are many ideas available for starting a business without initial capital, and almost all of them are related to the service industry. To start making money with your own hands, an entrepreneur should determine which area is closest to him.

Every person is an expert in something. Some people are professionals in several areas at once. If the future entrepreneur sews well, then it is time for him to provide repair and tailoring services; if he is fluent in Photoshop tools, then provide advertising services; understands the device of a car - offer assistance in repairing cars; knows how to bake - make cakes to order, etc.

The primary task of a novice businessman is to become independent from the employer. This will allow you to devote all your time to organizing and developing your business. It is also important to take care of the stock of funds so that it is enough for life, at least for the first time.

A prerequisite is the quality provision of all services, it is desirable that each of the work performed be accompanied by a guarantee with a minimum period of 6 months.

At first, there is making money and creating a customer base, which in the future will become the main backbone of the business. They will continue to buy goods and services in the future.

For the further development of the business, it is necessary to start accumulating savings, otherwise it will be impossible to bring the business to a new level. In the course of work, there will be certain expenses associated with the purchase of materials necessary for the provision of services.

It should be noted that services are always in demand, regardless of the season. It's just that during the season the demand is much higher, but there is also work during the year. And the main task of a businessman is to attract customers to himself.

small town business ideas with little investment

The most popular types of small businesses are trade and services. For a business in a small town with little investment, a store is not the right decision, because a large amount will be needed to purchase goods one way or another. It is easier when a person knows how to do something with his own hands and at the same time does it well. For example, the services of plumbers, hairdressers, masseurs, seamstresses are always and everywhere in demand. Registration as an individual entrepreneur will allow the entrepreneur to provide professional services on a completely legal basis.

It is unlikely that such a business can make its owner a millionaire, but a small and stable income is an expected prospect, especially if you manage to acquire a permanent clientele. If, over time, your own efforts are not enough, then you can think about attracting assistants. The main task of this entrepreneurship is to transfer business in the future from the category of "handicraft" services to a full-fledged public service company. Often this is exactly what the path of most successful local businessmen looks like - owners of repair and sewing workshops, hairdressers, etc.

Business ideas - services to the population in a small town

The service sector is always relevant if we consider it as a business project: investments are kept to a minimum, the main thing is to have the necessary skills.

The organization of any business implies the presence or absence of initial investment. Some ideas do not require any costs at all.

Business ideas without investments

  1. Tutoring. This area is suitable for people who are fluent in musical instrument or with experience in educational institutions. All that is needed for teaching is to place an advertisement and recruit students.
  2. Mini-studio and clothing repair. This work will require sewing machine and relevant work experience. Data, especially in small towns where buying new clothes is a costly problem.
  3. Cleaning service. Each hostess has a certain set of cleaning products. Cleaning up the office, putting the room in order after the celebrations - all this is an occasion to offer your services and get paid for your work. If desired, you can attract a few assistants who will help turn the "handicraft" business into a large cleaning agency.

Business ideas with minimal investment

  1. Husband for an hour. The higher the professionalism, the richer the client base. Small-term housework, repair of damaged things and appliances, plumbing and electrician services - all this requires the necessary qualifications and a modest set of tools, which will be the first investment. At the beginning of work, the amount of costs can be 1000-5000 rubles.
  2. Creation and sale of handmade goods: jewelry, soap, invitations, postcards, candy bouquets, author's toys, interior decor. The cost of materials will be about 2000-3000 rubles.
  3. Hairdressing services (haircuts, hairstyles). The cost of tools and hair styling products will be approximately 3,000 rubles. If desired, you can complete courses in hairdressing. But you need to be prepared for the fact that this will entail additional costs.

There is a room - what kind of business to do?

If you have a garage space, it can be considered an ideal place to organize your small business. Such a business can bring a stable income. However, the amount of profit will depend on what the entrepreneur intends to do and how much effort will be invested in promoting the business. Having your own free space is a big plus, because there is no need to rent immediately. Of course, the garage is not exactly the right place to open a bakery or cafe. But there are many other options as well.

When thinking about what kind of business to open in a garage, many people make the same mistake. Often people use the most common idea. Often garages deploy auto repair shops. However, this option can be considered obsolete and it is better to discard it immediately.

First, because this area is highly competitive. Auto repair services are provided by many individual entrepreneurs who have large premises and expensive modern equipment. Those cars that are covered by insurance are repaired in workshops cooperating with insurers.

Secondly, because the required areas are usually not available. At the same time, no more than two cars can be accommodated in one room, and this is subject to a double garage. But in order to provide high-quality services, special equipment is needed, which, as a rule, has large dimensions. Which means it won't fit in the garage.

Thirdly, because of the "impassable" location. To ensure an influx of customers, the auto repair shop should be located in a convenient and accessible place. Promotion of such a business also requires large expenditures.

Ideas for small business can be divided into three areas:

  1. production;
  2. trade;
  3. provision of services.

Garage production for sale

  1. Cabinet furniture. Production and assembly of kitchen sets, sliding wardrobes, dressing rooms, etc. This work requires financial costs, tools, as well as experience with chipboard and wood. The margin on these products is at least 100%.
  2. garden sculptures. Organize small production flowerpots and sculptures for the garden in the garage is not at all difficult. Necessary materials for manufacturing - gypsum and concrete. The production technology is quite simple and does not require large investments. You can sell finished products both directly and through intermediary stores.
  3. Artistic forging. People who have experience working with metal can produce in the garage small forged products that are in stable demand, such as gratings, lamps, candlesticks, balcony railings, etc. Of course, in order to equip a garage for a small forge, significant investments are needed, but this should not embarrass a novice businessman, because this business characterized by fast payback.
  4. Aerography. Even if an entrepreneur is devoid of artistic skills, this does not prevent him from turning an ordinary car into a work of art. In addition, drawings using this technology can be applied to almost all objects, giving them great individuality.

Service

  1. Warehouse services. Clients can be owners of online stores or heads of small businesses. Seasonal services can also be provided. One way or another, you will have to build a large number of shelves. In addition, this business will require the cost of installing an alarm system or insuring property.
  2. Rental. This is not the most popular service, since the proceeds will only be enough to pay the membership fee and electricity. Renting a garage is usually a concern for those who do not have enough time and desire to do it.
  3. Tire fitting. It was mentioned earlier that a garage is not the best option for an auto repair shop. However, an entrepreneur can provide seasonal services for the “re-shoeing” of cars. This business is able to bring good income. During the season, the demand for such services rises sharply, and car services cannot cope with a large influx of customers. The necessary equipment can be rented. This will help you save money and make good profits.

What can you trade in a small town?

Despite the fact that trading has always been a profitable business, it has not only strengths, but also weaknesses. What is profitable to sell in a small town is an age-old question that almost every novice businessman asks. It can only be answered after conducting market research.

An entrepreneur who wants to make efforts in the trading area must clearly understand what he wants and what is beneficial to trade specifically for him.

For example, trade in food products has always been and will be a profitable area. Products make up permanent article expenses for each family. And if the prices are lower than those of the neighbors, then this will ensure a stable profit. However, this business has its downsides. Firstly, products deteriorate over time, and for their safety, special conditions. Secondly, this activity is under close attention of sanitary services.

Industrial goods do not have an expiration date, but they are not bought every day. Thus, the demand for stationery increases in August and September, while in other months there is a lull.

When opening any business, demographic and geographic factors must be taken into account. It is also worth taking into account that a business that will bring big profits in a large city can fail in a small one.

What store to open in a small town?

Of course, the most win-win option for any locality is the opening of a grocery store. But there are other promising solutions:

  1. Products for children. This is a stable business that does not depend on the season and the size of the settlement. As a rule, parents do not save on their children, which allows higher markups on children's products. This results in a good profitability of the business and the possibility of a flexible pricing policy. You can trade anything: children's shoes and clothes, food, toys, strollers and other related products.
  2. Goods for pets. Nai in great demand products for cats and dogs, as well as everything related to the aquarium trade. You can sell food, tray fillers, toys, decorations, vitamins and minerals, cages, carriers, beds, etc. Such a store should be located in a passing place: near a bus stop or in a busy place.
  3. Hardware store. The range of these products is quite wide. The main groups of household goods include household chemicals, goods for the garden and for the home. The profitability of trade ensures a high turnover.
  4. Car accessories store. In the modern world, where every family owns a car, business in this area is very relevant. The list of such products includes deflectors, windshield wipers, video recorders, salon and luggage mats, navigators, radar detectors, etc.

Business for a woman in a small town

While on maternity leave, many women begin to feel an acute shortage of money. But at the same time, they are not ready to send a small child to a kindergarten or do not have such an opportunity, as a result of which they cannot return to work. The only way out for them is a business at home, which will allow them to devote time to the child and earn money at the same time:

  1. Manicure at home. Having the necessary knowledge or having studied at special courses, you can start hosting clients who want to improve the quality and appearance of their nails. The high quality of work will ensure a large influx of customers, which will allow you to reach a full-fledged city income.
  2. Babysitting services. Sitting at home with a child, you can take on the upbringing of another one and, most likely, he will not become a burden. The main thing is to love children. The amount of remuneration each has the right to establish at its discretion, based on the average cost of these services.
  3. Taking up photography. Being able to make beautiful and interesting pictures, as well as process them through special programs, you can post your work on photobank sites. There they are likely to be noticed by the creators of sites, where they will be sold out for a certain amount. Of course, the amount of payment is low, but with the daily posting of high-quality pictures, you can make good money.
  4. Handmade. Handicrafts are in high demand. You can sew, knit, embroider, weave with beads, create soft toys, soap, etc. Even lack of experience is not a barrier, since everything can be learned on the Internet.
  5. Online consultations. If daily communication with people by phone, skype, etc. does not cause embarrassment, then you can get a job in some company selling goods through the network.

And this is not a complete list of "female" business ideas. For example, a businesswoman can start, etc. These projects are more suitable for those who live in their own home and have at least a small plot of land.

The most profitable business today in a small town

Below is short review the most for a small town with a population of up to 100 thousand inhabitants. New projects and know-how will not be affected here, but only proven solutions that, with the proper approach, will certainly bring profit:

  1. Internet business. The presence of a computer or laptop, as well as certain knowledge, allows you to open your own business on the Internet. This is a profitable and very convenient business idea: an entrepreneur does not need an office, he can work at any convenient time, because the business does not affect the location in any way. A person can choose any option they like: website development, SEO optimization, copywriting or an online store.
  2. Shop for flowers and indoor plants. Flowers are not a basic necessity, but, oddly enough, they are in great demand. Especially during the main holidays: September 1, February 14, March 8, etc. Also, flowers are often needed in common days- for dates, as a thank you for the service.
  3. Beauty saloon. Beauty has always been and will be a successfully sold commodity. There are several business models. One of them is economy, this is the most successful option for a small town in which inexperienced residents live. Services can be the simplest (haircut, coloring, styling, nail service, light cosmetic services).
  4. Fitness Centre. Many modern people pay great attention to their health and, in particular, physical development. This is a rather specific type of business, so before you open it, you need to consult with experienced people. You should also study all the features of sports equipment in order to buy the right simulators and other equipment.

In summing up, I would like to give a few recommendations aimed at the development of business projects in a small town. First of all, you should take on what is well known and does not raise many questions. This will allow the first time to cope without staff. It is better to choose those areas of activity that maintain a stable demand for goods and services for a long time. Their list includes foodstuffs, entertainment, medicine, etc. Do not forget about the pricing policy: goods that contribute to savings will always be a priority for residents of small towns.

Overview of 5 Profitable Business Ideas to Start in a Small Town

About 80% of the population of Russia lives outside the capital and regional centers. Rumors that it is impossible to create a profitable business on the periphery are greatly exaggerated. The article gives five examples of quite successful businesses, and highlights the characteristics of provincial cities.

The answer to the question of what kind of business to open in a small town cannot be unambiguous. Apart from common features inherent in small administrative centers, each of them has its own unique features.

Counting on the success of the enterprise, it is necessary to take into account both groups of influencing factors as fully as possible. As life shows, the advantages in this regard are on the side of local residents.

In contrast to the "alien Vikings", who develop new territory by trial and error.

Pros and cons of a small town

Two professors of the Higher School of Economics: Simon Kordonsky and Yuri Plyusnin, in 2011-2014, made 30 traveling expeditions, studying provincial towns Russian hinterland. The results of the study were announced in June this year as part of the round table " Russian society outside the big cities.

Hence the conclusion: there are prospects in any place. The main thing: when choosing which business to open in a small town, all ideas must be considered through the prism of specific local features.

General specifics of small towns

  • one, less often two city-forming enterprises;
  • low-rise buildings, low population density;
  • low incomes and solvency of residents;
  • high level of administrative "press".

At first glance, all of the above limits the choice of business ideas.

But on the other hand, these same factors provide some advantages: low initial investment, no high advertising costs and relatively low level of competition.

An example is the federal retail chains: "Magnet", "The Seventh Continent" and others.

Despite the widespread development in major cities, on the periphery - they, as a rule, do not receive the expected profit.

In small cities, they lose their main advantage: population density savings that reduce their costs, and crowd out small retail outlets in a small radius of their influence.

In addition, the average salary of residents of small towns is 5-7 times lower than even the regional level, which significantly reduces trade turnover from 1 sq. m. and the amount of the average check. Lack of knowledge of the local market and consumer tastes also has an effect.

Administrative support, as a rule, is received by socially oriented: educational, sports, cultural, health projects.

Unfolding trading business, it is necessary to take into account the interests of local producers.

In general, the authorities are interested in the development of those activities, the revenues from which go to the local budget.

What business ideas to look for

Intending to open a business in a small town or village, it will not be superfluous to ask: what do small and medium-sized enterprises in Russia do in general (Fig. 1).

Figure 1. Distribution of SMEs by types of core activities

Even at a cursory glance, everything is obvious. About 40% of NSRs are occupied retail, catering, household repairs.

Under the "other" are hidden: hotels, restaurants and cafes; housing and communal services, education; entertainment, tourism.

How to evaluate the prospects of this or that idea, to understand which business is the most profitable in a small town?

Trade is a traditional niche for small businesses, although it is oversaturated in many places. However, objective indicators suggest that it is still popular.

First of all, this applies to food products that are usually bought within walking distance. This is their main difference from a TV or a washing machine, for which you can go to the regional center.

There are also not enough pharmacies and drugstores in most small towns.

feature of a business idea for a small city: it must take into account local specific factors, both positive and negative.

In most cases, the bet is successful:

The proposed services should solve the pressing, vital problems of the city's residents. Practicality, usefulness is the main criterion for choosing a business idea for a small town, and not its pretentiousness, exclusivity.

A separate topic is services for business. Surprisingly, they are in demand! For accountants, economists, lawyers, and experts in various industries, this is an underfilled and very promising niche.

This is shown by the results of a survey recently conducted by the Small Business Resource Center (Fig. 2). The project was implemented on the example of three cities: Suvorov (20,126 people), Buturlinovka (26,241 people).

) and Ostrogozhsk (32,310 people).

Figure 2. Demanded business services in the SME sector in the pilot cities.

The biggest deficit is in legal advice. There is no firm providing such services in any of these cities.

Is a successful business on the periphery a reality? Yes!

The examples below are taken from real life. it visual illustration everything that was said above.

200,000 rubles of its own funds were invested in the organization, and 300,000 were received from the city budget under the program to support small and medium-sized businesses. The private kindergarten is the first and so far the only one in the city.

30 children go to it, and 50 parents have already signed up for the queue. In the video below, the entrepreneur talks about his experience.

The Ministry of Labor has prepared a draft law which is under consideration.

It will allow using maternity capital funds to pay for private kindergartens and individual entrepreneurs who look after and care for children.

If the law is adopted, then this type of business will receive an additional impetus for development.

  • You can hire for your business cheap labor. In small towns there is a problem with employment, so many are happy even with minimal earnings.
  • In small towns it is much easier to conquer credit customer confidence. If you manage to please one or several influential citizens at once, you will soon be able to feel how quickly and effectively word of mouth works, and the whole town will talk about you as a good businessman.

Butcher shop

The organization of a small butcher shop, where there will always be fresh and high-quality products, is almost a win-win option.

Now more and more people prefer to come to a clean store, where the sanitary condition, service, and, most importantly, weight are at the highest level. In the assortment, it is also advisable to have sausages, smoked meats, etc.

Flower shop

Furniture repair and upholstery workshop

Usually, if professional conscientious craftsmen work in such a workshop, then they always have a lot of orders.

homemade baking

Today, both in a large metropolis and in a provincial town, women do not have enough time to bake sweets loved by all households - cakes, pies, homemade cookies. And before the family holiday, there are so many troubles that there is no longer enough strength to make a birthday cake.

What is the best profitable business to open in a small town from scratch

In a small town, too, you can successfully conduct your business and prosper. But you can also burn out or just not earn anything.

And everything depends not only on the will of chance, but also on yourself.

How you conduct your business, what line of business you choose, how you organize your business - all this is of great importance.

Let's take a closer look at what the pitfalls of your business are, where you can find benefits and how to organize everything.

Pros and cons of a small business in a small town

Before you open your own business, you need to realistically assess the situation and think it over well. The advantages of running your own business in a small town are as follows:

  • The absence of competitors (or a small number of them). If you have carefully chosen the field of activity for yourself, then you may find that no one else is doing this in your city.
  • Ensuring that there are no competitors in the future. This option is possible if you decide to start selling products of a well-known company, whose representative office is not yet in your city. You should sign an exclusive supply agreement, and then you will be protected from the appearance of competitors.
  • Rental prices. Whatever you decide to do, in any case, in a small town it will cost you much less than in a metropolis. This applies to the price of renting a room, salaries to employees, and even advertising your business. It will be enough for you to complete one or two orders with high quality, and people will learn about you. If you are engaged in trading, then you should trade in high-quality and not very an expensive commodity- then customers will advise their friends and acquaintances to visit your store.

Cons of opening such a business:

  • Fewer clients. Since the population of your town is small, there will be fewer people who need your services.
  • Low level of income of the population. In smaller towns, salaries are much lower, which means people are willing to spend less money.
  • Lack of qualified personnel. There may be such a situation that there are no specialists in the city who are oriented in your chosen niche. Or your competitors have already got them.
  • Word of mouth can work not only in your favor, but also against you. If you once made a mistake (sold low-quality goods, poorly completed the order or did not have time with its deadlines), the rumor about this can quickly spread throughout the city. Then you will get a bad reputation, which you absolutely do not need.

Other nuances of starting your own business

Before starting your own business, you need to think carefully about its details and take into account such nuances:

  • your business should not require the recruitment of first-class specialists, as this may cause problems;
  • make sure that your business will have at least some demand in your area. Otherwise, there is no point in opening it;
  • creating your own business, you must be 100% confident in your abilities. If later you can change your mind and close the business because of the difficulties that have arisen, then in a small town it will become public. And then it will be much more difficult for you to open another business - people will not be able to trust you.

What to look for when choosing a field of activity

When choosing what exactly you will do, you need to consider the following factors:

  • Your experience in this area. It doesn’t matter if you work on your own or hire staff - in any case, you must be well-versed in your chosen business and be able to train employees.
  • Your interest in the business. If there is no such interest, then there is no point in doing it.
  • Demand for your services in the selected area. Even if you organize everything at the highest level, purchase high-quality goods, order a chic sign and perfectly train your staff, but the local population will not feel the need for your goods - you should not expect much profit.
  • Your willingness to devote most of your time to the business. Having opened a store and hired a salesperson, you still have to pay attention to the case.

Examples of Profitable Small Business Options

It is important to remember that in a small town, copying other people's ideas most likely will not work - you will have to come up with something original. To do this, you must be interested in your business, you must be well versed in it, and not just receive income from it.

Here are some ideas for things to do:

  1. Score. Very often, entrepreneurs in small towns decide that it will be most profitable for them to engage in trade. If you are one of them, then you need to decide what goods will be in demand in your locality (groceries, pastries, confectionery, stationery, household goods), provide a wide range of products and set reasonable prices. You also need to remember that your store should be located in a suitable location - in a residential area that does not have the same store.
  2. Kindergarten, development center. In small towns, preschool institutions are often closed, which the authorities considered unnecessary. If you have some experience and knowledge, you can restore justice by teaching children. For this purpose, you can rent a room or arrange a kindergarten in your apartment, if possible.
  3. Delivery of sushi or pizza. If no one in your city is doing this business yet, you can be the first. Having certain skills in preparing such products at home, you can deliver them to customers at home. At the same time, you don’t even have to spend money on renting premises and salaries for employees (of course, if you don’t develop your activities to such a scale that there will be no end to orders).
  4. Repair of small household breakdowns and appliances. This area is more suitable for men who understand repair work. Surely in your area there are not enough such enterprises, but there are more than enough customers. This is what can do you good. It is enough just to do your job well, be loyal to customers and ask for a reasonable price - and people will reach out to you. To start such a business, you will need to purchase the tools you need in your work, post ads - and you can start taking orders. With the right approach to business, your business can easily expand over time, bringing more and more income.
  5. Furniture upholstery services. Since the incomes of people in a small town are low, then, accordingly, they acquire new furniture much less often, and old furniture has an unpleasant tendency to wear out. And then people call a furniture restoration specialist for help.
  6. Beauty saloon. With the necessary knowledge, and preferably experience, and subject to low prices for services, you can easily acquire regular customers. After all, even in small towns, girls and women want to have a well-groomed appearance and a stylish hairstyle.
  7. Flower shop. In any city, in any country, young people, going on a first date, buy flowers. The same thing happens during various holidays. You can also provide florist services, decorating rooms for celebrations with flowers.
  8. auto repair shop. Having your own garage and experience in car repair, you can open your own workshop without spending money on renting a room. This type of service is always in demand.

In general, this topic can be developed endlessly. There are no specific standards on what exactly you can easily make money on. Each area has its own characteristics and needs.

The main thing to consider when starting your own business is having a minimum experience, a small capital to start and choosing a suitable place to work. Everything else will follow with time.

From the following video, you can get some more good ideas for your business:

Internet business

There is also an option to organize a business online. This type of activity has a lot of advantages:

  • no need to spend money on renting a room;
  • there is no need to hire staff, at least at first, when there are few orders;
  • You can work in your free time on a schedule that suits you.

Internet business options:

  1. Website development and popular SEO-optimization Internet resources, which allows them to occupy higher places in search engines - if you have certain knowledge that can be acquired using the same Internet, you can earn pretty good money.
  2. Online store. Having chosen the type of product that will be widely popular, you can start selling it through the network.
  3. Copywriting. If you are well versed in any field (real estate, construction, design, makeup, hand-made, etc.) and have writing skills, you can earn money online by selling your texts. With high quality material, you can regularly get good earnings.

home business

If you are tired of going to a low-paying job every day, which also takes up all your free time, you can organize own business at home. To do this, you need to determine what you can do so well that people will pay for it, and get down to business.

Here are a few options for what you can do:

  1. Making salads, pastries, cakes. By devoting evenings to cooking, you can trade for several hours a day in places where people, going to lunch (for example, near office buildings), will want to buy something delicious from you. Since the demand for finished products is very high, you will not end up with customers.
  2. Growing vegetables and fruits. If you have your own vegetable garden or a few fruit trees, then a trade in grown products would be a great option for you. The same applies to the sale of homemade milk, cheese and other dairy products - if you have a cow. Maintaining a greenhouse is also a good business idea. In this case, you can sell vegetables even in winter, when their prices increase significantly.
  3. Private cab. At a convenient time for you, if you have your own car, you can engage in the service of transportation. To do this, you just need to know your city well.
  4. Raising Muscovy Ducks. This type of poultry is quite unpretentious, grows quickly and without much hassle. Subsequently, ducks can be sold: to restaurants, wholesalers, in the market. The end result is a pretty decent income.
  5. Tutoring. If you are well versed in any school or university subject, then you can teach this to schoolchildren and students for money.
  6. Tailoring of bed linen under the order. If you have a sewing machine and the ability to sew, you can make exclusive underwear.

Small business for women

Going on maternity leave, many women are faced with the fact that they are sorely lacking money.

But, not daring to entrust a small child to the care of a kindergarten or not being able to do this, they cannot go to work.

Then a business at home can come to their rescue, which would allow them to devote time to the child and at the same time earn money.

For example, a woman on maternity leave can do the following:

  1. Nanny at home. Since you have a small child, babysitting with another one will most likely not be a problem. The main condition is love for children. Be sure that working mothers who have no one to leave their child to will appreciate your idea. You set the price yourself, depending on the average cost of such services in your area.
  2. Needlework. Being on maternity leave, you have enough free time that you can devote to creativity. Which one depends on your preferences. Knitting or crocheting, sewing original sofa cushions, beading, soap making, cross-stitching, creating soft toys– even if you don’t know how to do something, if you wish, you can learn everything on the Internet.
  3. photography. With the ability to take beautiful and original pictures and process them with the help of programs, you can post them on photobank sites - there they will surely be noticed by the site creators and purchased for a certain amount. Of course, these amounts are small, but with the regular placement of high-quality images, you can make good money.
  4. Online consultant. If you don't mind interacting with people on the phone or online on a daily basis, you can get a job at one of the online sales companies.
  5. Provision of manicure services at home. With the necessary knowledge (for this you can take special courses), you can host clients at home who want to improve the condition of their nails.

So, we looked at the various options for starting your own business in a small town, as well as a business that you can do at home or on the Internet. As you already understood, it all depends on your skills and customer needs.

After carefully studying these needs and choosing a field of activity, you can open your own business. The main thing here is to believe in yourself, devote enough time to the cause and treat your customers well. Then the success of your undertaking will be guaranteed.
