The unstable economic environment has affected everyone in different ways: some types of businesses have suffered more, others less, for others, new prospects have opened up. According to open statistics, one can trace the main trends and draw conclusions: in which area it is most profitable to open a business now, and what is better to refrain from.

Crises come and go, but you always have to work. What business is in demand now, where to look for a promising niche? Despite the fact that the SMB business activity index shows a decrease (Fig. 1), the number of individual entrepreneurs in Russia has increased. According to Kommersant: as of December 2015, their number was 3,643,911 against 3,534,516 for the same period in 2014.

Figure 1. Dynamics of the index of entrepreneurial activity in 2014-2015. According to the public organization SMB "Support of Russia".

The decrease is mainly due to a drop in sales and investment: the share of trade in small businesses is more than 40%. You should not focus on the average "temperature in the hospital", so let's take a closer look at how the situation is developing in three areas:

Main directions in trade

The negative impact of the crisis on retail is obvious: a decrease in income, a savings model of behavior, a shift of buyers to cheaper goods. The last factor was not negative for everyone. Networks of the “all at one price” type are expanding, including actively moving into remote regions (“Fix Price” franchise); commission trading revived. According to the study of the "Shop Store" group, as of October last year, stagnation was observed in the trade sector (Fig. 2, 3).

What entrepreneurs are complaining about:

1. drop in sales is noted by 76% of respondents;
2. 55% of retailers were forced to raise prices;
3. increased the cost of rent, property tax.

On the whole, the mood is pessimistic, and it is hardly worth expecting a revival of consumer demand in the near future. But on a sectoral basis for industrial goods, the decline is not the same, which is clearly seen in Figure 3. For individual commodity items, the position of the index is above average.

Summary. The luxury consumer goods (and services) market shows little or no change. Segment "economy" class - not developed. It requires a special ability to organize profits at low prices, low costs and margins, which not many people have (a successful example of "Fix Price"). In recent years, trade has been most active in the segment of the middle class, and it is precisely this part of the population that has experienced the greatest decline in real incomes.

How is the current crisis different from previous ones? Opinion of Yevgeny Butman, a serial entrepreneur since 1990 (Forbes interview). "The crises of 1998 and 2008 were instantaneous - everything fell, depreciated, froze. Ah! We looked: everything is not so scary. They lifted it, washed it, glued it and moved on. And now, it's completely different. Imagine that you put a frog in a saucepan, and increase the temperature by a degree every hour. The frog will boil itself without noticing it. There seems to be no crisis, but this very heating is going on. We and our business are like this frog."

Market of paid services

In the service sector, the situation is different. According to Rosstat, a general decrease in consumption in terms of prices was noted, but it does not look like a "collapse" (Fig. 4). As of November 2015, the share of paid services in the total expenditures of the population even increased - 20.8% (in 2014 - 19.9%).

Analyzing the indicators for individual types of services (Table 1), it is easy to see that the crisis has a positive effect on the craving of citizens for sports, culture and a healthy lifestyle.

Promising trends in the service sector

• Tourism- on domestic routes, agro-tourism. In order to save money, many go on vacation on their own: it is no coincidence that there is an increase in the hotel industry. The niche for the organization of mini-hotels, catering points, parking lots, hostels is expanding - along highways and in places of mass "wild" recreation.
• Outsourcing of all kinds- large and medium-sized companies save on personnel, marketing, IT services, education. Small businesses take advantage of these difficulties by offering low-cost services, products, and services. The leader is IT-sphere: mobile applications, website builders, analytics, landing pages.
• Medical, health, sports services- in this market a clear increase in demand. If someone thinks that this is too narrow a professional niche, he is mistaken. Below is an interesting example.

Sale of medical services from Germany

Alexander Bortenev and Roman Prilipko organized an online service for medical consultations by doctors from Germany. Analyzes, MRI and CT images are sent for examination to doctors who carry out diagnostics, recommend additional examinations, and a treatment program. The results are received within 4 days.

In January 2015, a website was created, a month later an office was opened in Magnitogorsk, then in Chelyabinsk. In total, up to 50 orders per month are received through offices and the website, the amount of revenue is up to 800,000 rubles per month. Entrepreneurs plan to recoup their investments (about 5 million rubles) within a year and a half.

Summary. People have not stopped using the services, only the choice is made in favor of cheaper ones, in priority - children's needs. Cost reduction occurs due to the "cleaning" of the main service: coffee breaks, bookings, field consultations are excluded. The rental of expensive machinery and equipment is gaining popularity: cars, bicycles, ski equipment, exercise equipment.

Production

The manufacturing business shows the most optimistic activity index compared to other activities. The sanctions forced large manufacturers to look for replacements for imported components, materials, and products. For small businesses, there are opportunities to serve large enterprises. According to the TIU.RU portal (trade in machine tools and equipment for SMEs), for the first 9 months of 2015, the total amount of sales income exceeded the level of the previous year by 20%.

1 Food production.

Large retail chains: Perekrestok, Pyaterochka (Retail Group) in 2015 signed new contracts with 800 suppliers. The share of Russian goods more than doubled compared to 2014. For many product groups, it has reached the level of 90-100%. "Dixie" - imports fruits and vegetables from the south of Russia, Tula, Moscow region; 90% of dairy products are Russian and Belarusian.

Russian "camembert"

The family enterprise "Nikolaev and Sons" (Krasnodar Territory) increased cheese production in 2015 by 10 times. The business was started 4 years ago, it was planned to develop Italian, French "premium" varieties. In total, the line consisted of 12 varieties. With the introduction of the embargo, the company reduced them to 4, Camembert Lefkadia became the main product in demand. Blue cheese was the first to leave the shelves - retailers stood in line. Selling prices start from 1.1 thousand rubles per kg, they did not increase during the year. It is supplied to retail chains: "Azbuka Vkusa", "Magnet", "Lenta", "Crossroads", geography - more than 10 cities.

2 Innovative technologies.

Investors and large enterprises are now more willing to support Russian developments that have been lying on the shelves of research institutes for years. Scientists are not good at promoting their new products, looking for customers, and setting up the production of prototypes.

Helmet for miners and rescuers with "Wi-Fi"

In August 2015, SPF "Granch" (Novosibirsk) announced a new development: a helmet for rescuers and miners, equipped with a search system, a thermal imager (allows you to see through the smoke), a video camera, means of communication with the control room. While an agreement has been signed with the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the first samples are also being delivered to neighbors - to the mining Kuzbass. High-tech development has no analogues in the world, interest in it was shown in Germany. Is it worth saying what a foreign contract means now.

3 Highly specialized niches.

Many large industries need components, which are unprofitable and troublesome to produce. They willingly outsource such tasks to small businesses. There are always unoccupied places in this niche.

Necessary little things

An object that slightly resembles a toy excavator is a metal sieve for crushed stone. It is produced at the Gorny Tekhsnab Holding enterprise (Elektrostal). This crushing and screening equipment is in demand in the mining industry, in quarries. Production began five years ago, and in 2015 they began to supply products to Belarus, Kazakhstan. In 2016 - it is planned to conclude agreements with Uzbekistan, Tajikistan. Production is expanding, new equipment is being purchased.

4 Products for export.

Everything that can be produced for export must be produced and sold. It interferes with the lack of information, the problem of finding buyers. There are special structures where you can get advice on these issues: "Russian Export Center", "Excar".

The Export Operations Insurance Agency (EXIAR) announced the results of 2014. The number of exporters among small and medium-sized enterprises amounted to 13,500 firms by the end of the year, an increase of 27%. Of these, 85% are in remote regions. In the Primorsky and Khabarovsk Territories, the growth is about 2,000%, in the Murmansk Region - over 4,000%, in Moscow - 139%.

Non-standard approach.

Importing goods from China is a common thing for many entrepreneurs. The small enterprise "Zaica" (Khabarovsk) signed contracts for the supply to China and Korea of ​​the most common product - ice cream. Interestingly, in the city itself, imported products from Moscow and Tomsk prevail. According to director Ilya Amirkhanov, the Chinese were very surprised by our initiative. Nevertheless, 18 tons have already been exported to China, and 5 tons ($40,000) to Korea. The Chinese respect imported food products. According to surveys, more than 50% of buyers consider them to be of better quality and are willing to pay for it.

The lower price segment of ice cream (locally produced) in China includes items up to $1.5 (per serving). About 30% of buyers choose more expensive, imported ones. The American brand "Haagen-Dazs" is sold for 2 times more than at home - $5-7. In 2015, the Latvian form of Food Union (after the closure of the Russian market) supplied 12 tons of product to China. The price of a serving was set on the advice of the Chinese from $3 to $6. Sales figures exceeded those of European outlets by 300%.

Findings. There is no unequivocal answer to the question of what kind of business is in demand in Russia now. There are successful examples in different industries. Key positions are occupied by wholesale and retail trade in food products, inexpensive goods, food production; transport; services in the IT field, medicine, individual educational, cultural and sports projects. In any case, those leaving the market are being replaced by those who offer a new, more convenient, profitable solution.

The most profitable types of small business in Russia are of interest to many start-up entrepreneurs. This is an urgent question for those who have not yet decided in which niche to open their business. And in order for a business to have a better chance of survival, it is necessary to focus on those industries that are potentially capable of bringing really tangible profits.

The market situation in Russia today is not as good as we would like. Many of the problems are explained by the protracted crisis. In the current environment, even large industrial enterprises often fail to survive. Many of them change their focus, begin to explore new industries.

But there are also some positives. For example, due to mutual sanctions between Russia and European countries, the import of many consumer goods has become impossible or unprofitable. Imported products often increase their value due to duties by 1.5 - 2 times. This allowed Russian entrepreneurs to become more competitive.

When choosing the direction of work, entrepreneurs should focus on the desires and capabilities of consumers. So, in times of crisis, an ordinary citizen prefers to buy cheap products. People refuse for the most part from expensive purchases. Their consumption is shifting towards food, essentials, other goods and services.

At the moment, the following industries are among the most promising areas in Russia:

1. production;
2. sale of essential goods;
3. farming and other forms of agriculture;
4. real estate (rental, hotel business);
5. public catering;
6. various services to ordinary citizens and organizations.

The manufacturing sector, in principle, is considered one of the most promising industries. It allows you to increase the number of finished products. Not in vain, most enterprises today belong to this particular sector of the economy. And these are not only representatives of large and medium, but also small businesses.

According to marketers, the share of the manufacturing sector will grow rapidly in the next 5 years. As a result, the industry will acquire new entrepreneurs. There are also a number of difficulties here. The main obstacle is related to the need to attract capital. Starting a business in production requires a lot of money, and attracting investors is not always possible. Therefore, without a clear strategy and business plan, there is nothing to do in this area. Moreover, they will help to raise money in one of the following ways:

• governmental support;
• investors;
• partners;
• loans.

But the latter option is the least attractive, since Russian banks offer high-interest loans to citizens. Ultimately, the amount of overpayment on loans significantly reduces the size of the enterprise's profit and the profitability of production as a whole.

During a crisis, people quickly change their behavior patterns. The purchasing power of money falls, wages remain unchanged, and prices rise. It is quite logical that a person refuses more expensive goods in favor of commonly available products.

Premium-segment goods in themselves have little demand, but at the time of the crisis, it becomes even lower. People simply refuse to buy cars, electronics, household appliances. Therefore, it is not advisable to open a store in this area now.

The situation is quite different with essential goods. People are starting to buy them most actively. Among the popular products at such moments include the following products:

• inexpensive food;
• hygiene products;
• clothes;
• stationery;
• sports equipment and clothing;
• toys.

And it should be inexpensive goods. A novice entrepreneur can open a specialized point in one of the directions. It is inappropriate to spray on all spheres at once. On the contrary, it is better to open a small point in a residential area. In this case, you can save money on rent, quickly find your regular customers by offering them quality goods at affordable prices. Just such shops in times of crisis become very competitive.

Agriculture in Russia in itself has a huge potential. Natural expanses, fertile lands - all this contributes to the successful cultivation of animals and food. In addition, a raw material base for many manufacturing enterprises is being created in this area.

If a few years ago it was very difficult to open a business in the field of agriculture and stay afloat, now the situation has changed somewhat. This is largely due to the ban on the import of most foreign products. Due to customs duties, many goods become more expensive after crossing the border. This contributes to the strengthening of Russian agriculture. The following sectors are most in demand in this area:

• animal husbandry;
• crop production.

Today, many Russian entrepreneurs decide to open their own farm. The businessman must choose the direction himself, evaluating the following factors:

1. demand for products;
2. the presence of competitors and the saturation of the market as a whole;
3. remoteness from raw material bases;
4. availability of support from the district administration;
5. product yield or fecundity of individuals in a particular region.

And even though it will not be possible to return the money in a month, but after the first harvest it will be possible to recoup the investment and develop further. Those who have their own summer cottage should look especially closely at the idea of ​​​​opening their own farm. In this case, you do not even have to rent land. Yes, you don't need to register at first. It is enough to conduct activities as private household plots. And in the future, in case of successful development, it will be possible to become an individual entrepreneur or LLC, to increase the scale of production.

A small farm will also be competitive because it does not require serious investments to operate. The entrepreneur will be able to do all the work on his own, and it will be possible to completely abandon expensive equipment for several seasons.

The real estate market has always aroused the interest of entrepreneurs. Now many people cannot afford to buy an apartment, so they have to rent a house. In general, the rental of the following types of real estate is relevant:

• housing;
• industrial premises;
• land;
• garages.

Profitability in these areas can reach 50 - 100% in a few months.

There is another profitable direction - the organization of the hotel business. And now not expensive hotels, but small hostels and hostels are very popular. They attract customers with minimal amenities and affordable prices. In addition, few can afford to rent an expensive room in a luxury hotel. Opening a hostel or hostel near the station or in the city center will surely bring income to its owner. You can take in them not only tourists, but also business travelers, students, workers.

The catering industry has always been one of the most promising business formats. But here the development vector has changed from expensive restaurants and cafes to points with affordable prices, pleasant interiors, and fast service. It makes sense for a budding entrepreneur to consider opening one of the following establishments:

• diner;
• barbecue;
• coffee house;
• pie.

Oddly enough, the fast food industry is in high demand. Many points offer breakfasts, business lunches at really inexpensive prices. Working in this area, you can achieve profitability of 30 - 40%.

One of the most interesting and profitable ideas is to organize a takeaway coffee shop. Additionally, you can equip a small hall for visitors who prefer to cheer up with a cup of coffee and a croissant in a relaxed atmosphere. The payback period with the introduction of this seemingly insignificant option in the form of "coffee to go" is reduced by 1.5 - 2 times.

Services sector

The service sector in any developed society covers a larger part of the market than, for example, manufacturing. It is gaining more and more influence in Russia as well. Thus, according to the results of 2015-2016, it was in the service sector that the highest profitability was recorded. This is not surprising, because opening a business does not require large financial investments. At the same time, you can make a profit from the very start.

The essence of work in this area is the provision of services. The following factors will affect the cost and level of profit:

• workload;
• the complexity of the work;
• skill level (quality);
• availability of guarantees;
• results.

So, for example, the consulting sphere is now very popular among entrepreneurs. Organizations prefer not to spend money on keeping accountants and lawyers on staff. They turn to special companies as needed. Cleaning organizations are also in demand in the B2B segment.

Among the general population, the following types of services are especially popular:

• repair and decoration of apartments;
• installation of windows and doors;
• tutoring;
• car repair;
• nannies and cleaners.

Opening a private dentistry is a very interesting idea that can bring tangible profit to its owner. But here it will not be possible without serious financial investments in the purchase of specialized equipment.

In this material:

When it comes to setting up a business in Russia, this is intimidating for many. Excuses with a hint of corruption, bureaucracy and excessive state influence on entrepreneurs are very much in vogue. Entrepreneurs who have created successful businesses, on the contrary, call Russia, Moscow, St. Petersburg the best place to start a business. If many people managed to create a business in Russia, it means that doing their own business is justified and profitable!

What business areas are relevant in Russia today?

Consider business ideas that will help both experienced and novice entrepreneurs realize their potential.

Service business

Business in the service sector captivates with its simplicity.

In Moscow alone, there are more than a thousand different businesses that provide services rather than sell goods.

• Salon . This is not a new, standard business that does not require any special sophistication. People always need to cut their hair. To open your own barbershop, you will need a room, several employees and inexpensive equipment. A hairdressing salon is a very profitable business, as it does not require the purchase of expensive equipment and high salaries for staff.
• Beauty saloon . If a person, and especially a woman, came to you in order to preen, then it is foolish to let her go without offering additional services. And on additional services you can earn much more. A haircut is ordered every couple of months, but nails, eyebrows, eyelashes have to be done every week or at least twice a month. You should have noticed that Soviet-style barbershops are gradually disappearing, and numerous beauty salons are appearing in their place. This is a logical development of the service with the expansion of the range of services provided.
• Smartphone repair. Smartphones regularly break down - fall, glass breaks, operating system firmware is required. A smartphone repair service will be in high demand, especially if located at a crossroads or in a shopping mall. All you need is a point, a master and inexpensive equipment.
• Software Development. According to statistical studies, Russians believe that being a programmer is better than being an entrepreneur. What is the demand from the programmer? No tax audits, no bureaucracy, he sits at a computer, writes code and receives a salary of more than one hundred thousand rubles. That's right, but such high salaries are formed due to the fact that development customers pay ten times more. A small software development firm spends several million rubles on salaries and earns several tens of millions per month.

Home-based business

The dream of many is a profitable small home business.

A few ideas:

• At home, the production of some products is being established. These can be handmade products, weaving furniture from wicker, making slippers from linen, or making homemade cakes. The main thing is to find a market. It is worth doing advertising yourself, social networks are perfect for this, another option is to conclude an agreement with the nearest store or outlet.
• It is not necessary to produce a product, the alternative is to provide a service. A few decades ago it was difficult to imagine how to earn some money while sitting at home. It was only the lot of composers and writers. Many Russians are into copywriting, video editing, making videos for YouTube channels, and earn much more than they could earn in “real” life.
• Your apartment can be converted into an office and provide makeup, massage or stylist services. For example, to work as a massage therapist, you will need to purchase a massage table and inexpensive oil for five thousand rubles. A half-hour massage session in Moscow brings more than a thousand rubles. This business is good because every modern resident needs a massage. Clients are both in social networks and among neighbors, just place an ad at the entrance to the entrance.

Internet business

Such is the peculiarity of a Russian person that he is not very attracted to a business at home, which involves the production of goods. I want to work on the Internet - look at the monitor, press the keys on the keyboard, move the mouse and earn income.

Well, that's also possible. A few ideas for a person who does not have any skills and cannot boast of higher education in the IT field:

• Vkontakte community- excellent business. It is enough to choose a certain niche, for example, the psychology of interpersonal relationships, and publish updates regularly. It turns out to earn up to one hundred thousand rubles a month, and more. Complete anonymity is allowed: no one will know who the group belongs to and who earns on it. The situation is similar with other social networks, but Facebook is not so popular in our country.
• YouTube channel. It would seem that it is so difficult to film your life on a video camera or smartphone and regularly upload these videos to the Internet? There is nothing complicated, and the numbers that students and even schoolchildren earn are simply amazing. The YouTube channel is obviously a profitable business. It does not require any investment, and attracts an audience to you for free. If you create a channel in a commercial niche, you can monetize the audience by selling trainings to your subscribers or advertising products from the affiliate network for which you will receive royalties.
• Online store. Be that as it may, the biggest money is earned on the Internet through sales. Entrepreneurs make money on the banal resale of Chinese goods purchased from wholesalers. Purchasing platforms are most often Aliexpress or Alibaba. It is easy to find anything on these sites. The margin on trinkets can be hundreds of percent.

The most demanded business in Russia

Starting your next online store or opening a grocery store is a good idea, but it won't surprise anyone. It is good to create a business, focusing on demand, because compliance with this principle guarantees demand, and where there is demand, there is money.

Russia traditionally lacks quality service. For example, travel agencies are a dime a dozen. They race to offer cheap tours to exotic countries, but the VIP tourism market is almost empty. In order to relax in the Maldives, customers have to book charter flights and use the services of foreign travel companies.

The situation is similar with car service. Not everyone wants to save money when replacing summer tires with winter ones. Many people care about the speed of service and quality.

Almost empty is the investment niche. The Russians do not know where to invest their money. While Americans are actively investing in the stock market, thereby supporting their economy, Russians are buying apartments, inflating the national residential real estate market.

The niche of investing in precious metals is practically empty. In India, China, Germany, the US, South Africa and other rich and poor countries, people are buying physical gold. It is almost impossible to do this in our country. If there are still tools for sale (Sberbank branches), then it is almost impossible to sell a metal ingot or a gold coin.

It is possible to fill this market, but, of course, active cooperation with government agencies will be required.

There are more than a thousand cities in our country. Most residents would like to go somewhere else, the alternative is to look at their provincial status from the other side.

• Farming can become a very profitable and profitable business, especially if you position yourself as a manufacturer of organic harmless products. This trend is popular in Western countries and is becoming more and more established with us every year, however, it is almost impossible to buy homemade eggs or farm dairy products. Many suburbanites who live in private homes and are engaged in agriculture are really like hot cakes. They are met even from trains!
• Breeding pets- a thoroughbred and highly profitable business that can be organized even in an ordinary city apartment. The offspring of some thoroughbred dogs costs hundreds of thousands of rubles. Just imagine: the puppy has not yet been born, and you already have an order for its sale. There is no need to even talk about profitability here, because the costs of organizing such a business are just animal feed.
• vending business. Have you noticed vending machines in retail chains, dropping a bill into which you can buy water, chips, a chocolate bar and other products? This is a vending machine. Such devices do not require expensive maintenance or protection (since they are located inside protected facilities). You also don’t have to spend money on advertising, because their very idea is to provide additional services to those who have already come to a particular institution in order to spend money.

Most cost effective

Before talking about profitability, it is necessary to understand the term. Profitability is commonly understood as the efficiency of using resources or money.

Options for profitable business in Russia:

• Thrift store. Difficult economic conditions do not allow millions of Russians to throw out used household appliances or used items in the trash, they would not mind selling them. Social networks or message boards are used. But not everyone has the skills of an advertiser in order to write an ad, and almost all message boards now require a fee for use. A thrift store is a great business that connects sellers of used equipment and used items and buyers.
• Selling healthy food to lovers of a healthy lifestyle. There is a trend in the world: more and more people are becoming vegetarians, vegans, such types of nutrition are gaining momentum that no one had heard of a decade ago, for example, a raw food diet. You can open the production of yeast-free bread, buy from farmers or resell homemade dairy products, organize a service for the delivery of drinking water. Demand for such services is still small, but businesses in this area are characterized by excessive customer attachment. If the buyer liked your flax seed bread, he will most likely become your regular customer, plus he will also bring friends.
• Pharmacy . Statistics show that the number of sick people in our country is increasing every day. A pharmacy is not only a profitable, but also a highly profitable business. You can open your outlet on a franchise basis and become a small unit of a large pharmaceutical family. An actual business in times of depreciation of the national currency may be the opening of a pharmacy of a low price range.

Franchise business: pros and cons

Entrepreneurs, especially beginners, are often frightened by a business plan and organizational issues. What can we say, the thought of the tax is shuddering! There is a way to avoid all these organizational issues - a franchise.

What is a franchise? Imagine you have opened your own private kindergarten. You have an author's program, children like it, parents are delighted. Time to open the second one. No sooner said than done. Then the third, fourth, and then in other cities. And then comes the moment when you realize that money is made by sharing your successful experience.

For this purpose, a franchise is being sold, that is, a ready-made business plan that calculates all operating costs, describes what kind of staff is needed, what are the associated costs, and so on.

Will such an offer be in demand if potential novice buyers are burning with the idea of ​​creating their own business, and a successful businessman appears in front of their eyes, not just selling another information product, but inviting them to become part of a large company?

The franchise is very popular in our country, but it has its pros and cons.

Franchise benefits:

• Market research, sociological surveys, deciding whether a business idea will work is the concern of other people. Already thought up, painted and offered on a plate.
• Lack of entrepreneurial experience is not a problem at all. If there is no official income, the bank will most likely refuse to provide a loan, but the franchisor (franchise seller) will come to the rescue and act as a guarantor.
• You can immediately see what profit you can count on, and what possible losses. Often, when starting a business, these values, although they are written in the business plan, have nothing to do with the numbers that you have to observe in your accounting statement.

Cons of a franchise:

• Entry threshold. A franchise is not a gift. No one will give you money to start. The first question a franchise seller will ask is whether you have start-up capital. Not? Go, earn, collect.
• Part of the profits will have to be paid. Royalty is an integral part of any franchise. This is fair, but if two or three years have passed, doing everything yourself, it may be tempting to stop regular contributions to business strategy developers. It will not work: the contract obliges!
• You have to work. Many start-up entrepreneurs mistakenly believe that a franchise is an opportunity to successfully invest in an existing business project. This is far from the truth and does not intersect with classic investments that are used to generate passive income. Franchise involves hard entrepreneurial work, associated with risks, disadvantages and peculiarities.

Relevance, profitability, payback of a business are not the main characteristics that you should pay attention to when creating a business. The main thing is still your competence and how much you like and how much this or that idea lights you up.

Developing a business, an entrepreneur thinks about optimizing their income. Over the past decades, more and more types of business have appeared in Russia. Every year, experts rank the top profitable businesses.

The Ministry of Economic Development of Russia reports that the share of small businesses in the state's GDP by 2020 should grow to 30%. Entrepreneurs implement a variety of ideas for small and medium-sized businesses in all Russian regions.

What you need to know before opening

Regardless of the profession, many people dream of starting their own business.

Most likely, it will be profitable for those who have mastered the profession of a financier, accountant or manager.

However, there are many exceptions to this rule.

Before you start your business, it is important to consider the main recommendations:

• create a detailed scheme of expenses that are planned at the first stage,
• take into account the possibility of competition,
• choose the type of business that will be most understandable for the entrepreneur,

Before choosing a future field of activity, there are key points that determine its profitability:

1. time period for return on investment,
2. the chosen business area is characterized by high demand,
3. optimum level of profitability. Profitability increases in parallel with the volume of the service or product,
4. a small price threshold, where the purchase of materials contributes to an increase in profitability,
5. positive rate of return.

To realize the idea of ​​a small business, you need minimal funds and labor resources. For example, you can gather friends and start cleaning office and residential premises. You can also successfully do repairs. Often people open catering establishments, for example, a fast food kiosk or a bar.

Network marketing has been in demand not so long ago. This business has the principle of selling the produced service or product to the consumer without intermediaries, which greatly increased profits and lowered costs. An example of successful network marketing in the world is the cosmetic company Oriflame.

distribution company

The top profitable businesses include one of the types of entrepreneurship - the supply of food. To start such a business, you should sign a contract with the manufacturer or start looking for a supplier.

Then you need to sign an agreement with retail outlets and deliver your goods to them. Next, you need to keep statistics and collect debts for goods.

There is a certain scheme for opening a distribution company:

• search for products for distribution,
• taking for sale or purchase,
• distribution to outlets,
• providing advertising,
• control over accounts receivable.

Cleaning service

All that is needed at the first stage is reliable movers with free time and the availability of an order. Students and people in need of part-time work can be involved in the work.

To start the activity of a mobile team of loaders, you need:

1. post a service ad
2. create a database of employees who will quickly arrive at the facility,
3. expect orders.

Recently, the most profitable business is associated with the medium and small corporate sector. Organizations do not need to hire employees for permanent work, it is more profitable to attract them from time to time. In this regard, the mobile team of loaders is a fairly profitable small business.

The team can provide:

• construction sites,
• apartment and office moving,
• Events,
• purchases of bulky items.

Designer notebooks

The most profitable business in Russia is based on the corporate segment. The most popular commodity in offices is, of course, the office. Activities that are in the top most profitable businesses are formed based on the needs of office workers.

Notebooks, experts consider a profitable idea, which is among the top ten businesses in terms of ease of implementation and level of demand. The surface of the notebook can be very original, for example, wood or scorched.
