Everyone wants to look beautiful and attractive, and you will help them with this. There are also several ways of development in this business: opening a hairdresser, beauty salon, body care and weight loss center. This area includes fitness and image work. There are many options here, and each of them will undoubtedly bring great success.
• Children- flowers of life, and you can’t argue with that. That is why business development in this direction will not only cover all costs, but will also bring good profits. You can open a private school or kindergarten ik, but it requires large investments. Budget options is to create a center for early and preschool education children, opening of sectional sports institutions. No family saves on raising and educating children, so trying to develop your business in this direction is a profitable decision.

Therefore, the provision of consulting and intermediary services is popular. Lending and loans are other options for developing your own business that you can use. But it is worth remembering the only principle of work in this direction – honesty. Otherwise, not only will it be impossible to maintain such a business for a long time, but there is also the possibility of getting into a difficult financial situation yourself.

These are the three main areas that are popular, because not a single person can do without them. In addition to them, there are other successful ideas for developing your own business, including opening restaurants, cafes, bistros and other similar food establishments. However, it is recommended to start with a small but cozy cafe. If things go well, then you can develop further, opening restaurants and entire chains of catering establishments.

Promising directions for the near future

However, before opening your own business, you should think about whether it will be needed in five or ten years? Will he remain as popular? To avoid mistakes and choose the right direction in developing your business, it is recommended to familiarize yourself with business trends that will gain popularity in the future:

• Collective ownership. In order to reduce payments on a mortgage or loan, as well as their repayment period, in the future it is planned to create programs that allow a loan to be issued to several co-borrowers, even if they are related. For now, all this is just being planned, but today you can already start opening your own bank, ready to provide such services.
• Mobile phone transactions. Agree that paying for inexpensive purchases or services, for example, lunch in a cafe or a basket of groceries in a supermarket, is convenient through the phone. Today, such a payment system operates only in Finland for parking and paid toilets. Investing in the development of this business is one of the most profitable decisions that will definitely bring big profits.
• Mobile House. How can you kill time while stuck in traffic? It would be great if car owners could convert their cars into mobile offices. Such proposals have been received for about fifteen years and contain requests for internal filling of cars. Some want a relaxation area, others want workspaces with laptops. Why not do this? This is a great idea that will be popular in the future.
• Instant insurance. Such a business involves opening your own insurance company, which will offer instant insurance. The bottom line is that every person, before performing a certain action, for example, jumping with a parachute, will be able to insure themselves online. The risk possibility is 1 in 1000, so this business can rightfully be considered profitable.
• Eco food. Opening a chain of stores that will sell exclusively natural products. Such establishments already exist in the modern world, but there are few of them, and the range there is so small that opening a large supermarket with organic products would be a great idea. According to experts, soon about 74% of people will give up food with GMOs and switch to a completely healthy diet.
• Medicine products. An unusual idea - multifunctional food. For example, water will cure a headache, and cereals will be able to cope with irritation. There are many examples, but the idea is to create completely new products that would not cause any harm to the human body, but on the contrary, make it healthier. The only difficulty you will have to face is the correct promotion strategy.
• Sleep capsules. In the modern world, people are constantly faced with lack of sleep, which leads to chronic fatigue. Even at night, the body cannot relax; daily problems tire and deprive one of strength. Special capsules will help you cope with this, allowing you to survive the stage of rapid dreaming. They bring great benefits to a person, providing him with the opportunity to get enough sleep. There are already 70 such centers in Australia, but not a single one exists in our country.

Current ideas in a small town

If you live in a small town, this is still not a reason not to open own business. On the contrary, in this case your own business will bring a lot of benefits if you approach it responsibly. The advantage is the benefit in terms of competition, the ability to choose a non-standard field of activity.

So, current ideas for developing your own business in a small town include:

• Grocery store opening- banal, but profitable. To do this, you will need to evaluate existing stores, highlight their shortcomings and open your own establishment that will take them into account. Depending on the population, you need to calculate the area of ​​the store. It will be profitable to open a supermarket if the city has only simple small shops.
• Opening a car wash. Even in a small city there are a lot of cars. The services provided by car washes are always in constant demand. This does not require large investments. It is recommended to ensure that your service is located in a favorable and accessible location and operates around the clock.
• Provision of computer services – promising direction even in a small town. Nowadays, almost every home has a computer or laptop, which the average user cannot always handle. Opening a salon that will repair PCs, install programs, print documents and photocopy them will be in great demand. To increase profits, you can sell accessories in the salon: headphones, mice, mouse pads and much more.

You should not open a chain of grocery stores or computer service stores in a small town. Why spend extra money for renting premises, equipment, purchasing goods and paying wages employees if there is a short distance between establishments? Such actions are unprofitable.

Business on the Internet and other advanced technologies

Carrying out business activities online is a broad concept. Most users believe that online business is a real “freebie”, where the money itself flows into your wallet. Others understand that developing such a business also requires a lot of effort.

• One of the options for starting a business online is to create a trading platform. First you need to choose the theme of the store. In order not to make mistakes and make the right choice, you need to think about even the smallest details. On the Internet you can offer rare goods that are difficult to find in a regular store. Typically, such products are in high demand, so a stable income is guaranteed.
• Another idea is to act as a reseller. This option is in many ways similar to the previous one, but has some differences. To do this, you will need to purchase things at one price (purchasing goods in bulk from China at a low price is currently considered popular) and open an online store in which they will be offered at a higher cost.
• Creating applications for phones with Android or iOS. Considering the fact that the majority mobile devices works specifically for them, you can organize the development of games and programs. They can be sold through an online store. In such activities, it is recommended to create completely new applications that will be radically different from those already familiar.
• The next direction is to create an online magazine, blog or book. This is an interesting opportunity to make money, especially if you have something to tell people. This creative work requires a lot of effort and work, but in the end you can get a truly stunning result. The magazine can be about travel, about cooking, about how to care for children. Writing your own book is not only your own personal fulfillment, but also a way to make good money.
• Opening a bookmaker's office on the Internet is another type of income that you can use. This does not require a large initial capital, but such a business is associated with various difficulties. It is important not to let the participants understand that you are new to this area, otherwise the company will quickly beat you.

In the following video you can hear some useful thoughts about online trading:

Opening and developing your own business – not an easy task associated with real difficulties. Only after overcoming them will profit and first income be received. When choosing an idea, it is recommended to take into account not only the conditions for its development, but also your own wishes. If you are closer to opening a flower shop with delivery than opening a locksmith center, then it is better to choose the first option. Then such a business will bring pleasure not only to clients, but also to you!

TOP 7 profitable business ideas

Business ideas that make a profit, or ideas that no one believed in? Brave Russian entrepreneurs have mastered unoccupied niches (joint purchasing, ice cream parlors, quests) and were right on target!

According to the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, the share of small businesses in the country’s GDP should increase to 30% by 2020. SMEs in total will account for at least half of the gross domestic product. Such forecasts are not unfounded: every year more and more successful business ideas for small businesses appear, which are implemented by entrepreneurs not only in various Russian regions. The most original and profitable ideas of entrepreneurs will be discussed in this article!

Not by bread alone...

• Idea: sturgeon farm
• Entrepreneur: Victor Kozemsky
• Region: Belgorod region
• Description: In 2014, in the Gayvoronsky district of the Belgorod region, the construction of a farm for growing sturgeon fish in recirculating water supply (RAS) systems began. The enterprise was named “Belosetr” and, according to the creator, was designed to produce up to 0.5 tons of caviar annually, starting in 2017.

Previously, Kozemsky was engaged in fish farming in Donetsk, after which he decided to launch a unique project for Russia - a fully automated sturgeon farm. Kozemsky and his colleagues have been developing equipment for keeping and feeding sturgeon for over 10 years, using their own developments.

At the moment, the plant has more than 7 tons of brood fish stock at its disposal. The company also has a workshop for growing fry, that is, the implementation of the second stage of a large-scale project has now begun. At the end of 2015, the company sold:

• 0.2 t black caviar;
• 1.5 tons of fish.

Let us recall that the average cost of 1 kg of black caviar on the Russian wholesale market reaches 28 - 30 thousand rubles. Now the farm plans to produce 2 tons of sturgeon and sterlet caviar by 2018.

Interesting: According to the Ministry of Agriculture, exports of Russian black caviar tripled last year and reached 4.71 tons during the first and third quarters of 2015. The reason for this is the active development of sturgeon production and a favorable market situation in the context of a falling ruble exchange rate.

Small wholesale: making money on savings

• Idea: online store in Cash & Carry format
• Entrepreneur: Elena Drovovozova
• Region: Moscow
• Description: in 2014 Elena Drovozova, a former lawyer for a multi-format trading company X5 Retail Group, founded an online cosmetics store in a format similar to Cash & Carry. The store was named BeautyDiscount.ru and offers customers cosmetics at retail and wholesale at a discounted price. The idea of ​​crowdshopping was taken as the basis for creating the store. In order to save on the purchase of goods and delivery, people join groups and make joint purchases.

At this stage, the store’s assortment includes more than 20 thousand products. According to Alexa Rank, the store ranks 260,378, it is viewed daily by more than 9 thousand people, and the average cost of the resource is estimated at just over 9.6 thousand US dollars. The success of the store is due to the growing popularity of joint purchases (they account for almost 40% of turnover). Most profitable startups are in one way or another connected with crowdshopping (Rentoid, Uber, etc.), but in Russia the niche has not yet been occupied, and therefore everyone has a chance for success!

The kits come with colorful step-by-step recipes that allow you to prepare delicious dishes in 5 to 30 minutes.

Grocery packages are delivered twice a week when you subscribe on the website. The menu for each client is compiled individually based on a preliminary survey. In just one month of work, 120 thousand residents of the capital became participants in the project, which brought the company more than 1.2 million rubles. (according to RBC).

The idea to create a food constructor came to Olga while studying at Harvard Business School. She immediately attracted the attention of the head of the Boston venture capital fund, Lawrence Lepard. The fund invested 200 thousand US dollars in the project in exchange for a 10% share in the business.

In 2016, the Elementaree project managed to attract more than 500 thousand US dollars from an international investor, whose name was not disclosed. The funds received will be spent on platform development (automation of business processes, scaling). The creators plan to create a full-fledged alternative to offline supermarkets within 3 to 5 years.

• Idea: self-service laundry network
• Entrepreneurs: Pavel Glushenkov, Oleg Maslennikov
• Region: Krasnodar region
• Description: In 2011, former law enforcement officer Oleg Maslennikov, inspired by self-service laundries popular in the United States, opened the first laundromat in Krasnodar. At first, the entrepreneur encountered problems, for example, choosing the wrong equipment ( washing machines with a loading capacity of 6.5 kg did not meet customer needs). But he successfully chose a location in a new shopping center, which allowed him to save on advertising.

In 2014, having 2 laundries in Krasnodar and 1 in Omsk, the entrepreneur decided to develop the business. At this stage, he was joined by Pavel Glushenkov, who had previously developed his own network of laundries, the first of which was created as a franchise. Currently, the network has 15 points in the regions, including Moscow. 8 of them are located in the premises of the Magnit chain stores, popular in the Southern Federal District.

According to RBC, the maximum income from one point can reach 350 thousand rubles, and the net profit (minus the cost of rent, household chemicals, taxes, cost utilities) is about 120 - 150 thousand rubles.

Entrepreneurs who have created successful businesses, on the contrary, call Russia, Moscow, St. Petersburg, the best place to create a business. If many have 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?

Let's 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 get their hair cut. To open your own hairdresser you will need premises, several hired 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 with the goal of preening herself, then it is stupid to let her go without offering additional services. And you can earn much more with additional services. A haircut is ordered once every couple of months, but nails, eyebrows, and eyelashes have to be done every week or at least twice a month. You must have noticed that Soviet-style hair salons are gradually disappearing, replaced by numerous beauty salons. This is a logical development of the service with an expansion of the range of services provided.
• Smartphone repair. Smartphones regularly fail - they fall, glass breaks, firmware is required operating system. A smartphone repair service will be in great demand, especially if it is located at a crossroads or in a shopping center. 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 a programmer? No tax audits, no bureaucracy, he sits at a computer, writes code and receives a salary of more than one hundred thousand rubles. Everything is true, but such high salaries are formed due to the fact that development customers pay tens of times more. Small company on development software spends several million rubles on salaries and earns several tens of millions a month.

Home business

The dream of many is a profitable small business at home.

A few ideas:

• Production of some products is being established at home. This could be “handmade” products, weaving furniture from wicker, making slippers from flax, or preparing homemade baked goods. The main thing is to find a sales market. It’s worth doing advertising yourself; social networks are perfect for this; another option is to enter into an agreement with the nearest store or outlet.
• It is not necessary to produce a product, the alternative is to provide a service. Just a few decades ago, it was difficult to imagine how to earn some money while sitting at home. This was the lot of composers and writers. Many Russians do copywriting, video editing, make videos for YouTube channels, and earn much more than they could earn in “real” life.
• You can convert your apartment 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 in more than a thousand rubles. This business is good because every modern resident needs a massage. Clients are found both on social networks and among neighbors, just place an ad at the entrance to the entrance.

Internet business

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

Well, that's possible too. A few ideas for a person who has no skills and cannot boast higher education in the IT sector:

• Vkontakte community- great business. All you have to do is choose a specific niche, such as the psychology of interpersonal relationships, and publish updates regularly. You can earn up to one hundred thousand rubles a month and more. Complete anonymity is allowed: no one will know who owns the group and who makes money from it. The situation is similar with other social networks, but Facebook is not so popular in our country.
• YouTube channel. It would seem that what is so difficult about filming your life on a video camera or smartphone and regularly posting these videos on the Internet? There is nothing complicated at all, and the numbers that students and even schoolchildren earn are simply amazing. A YouTube channel is obviously a profitable business. It does not require any investment and attracts your audience for free. If you create a channel in a commercial niche, you can monetize your audience by selling training to your subscribers or advertising to them products from an affiliate network, for which you will receive royalties.
• Online store. Be that as it may, the biggest money is made online through sales. Entrepreneurs make money from the banal resale of Chinese goods purchased from wholesalers. The purchasing platforms are most often Aliexpress or Alibaba. It's easy to find anything on these sites. The markup on trinkets can be hundreds of percent.

The most popular business in Russia

Creating another online store or opening a grocery store are good ideas, but you 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 practically empty. In order to relax in the Maldives, clients 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. Speed ​​of service and quality are important to many.

The investment niche is practically empty. Russians don't know where to invest their money. While Americans are actively investing in the stock market, thereby supporting their economy, Russians are purchasing apartments, inflating the national residential real estate market.

The niche of investing in precious metals is practically empty. In India, China, Germany, USA, South Africa In both rich and poor countries, the population buys physical gold. In our country this is almost impossible to do. If there are still instruments for sale (Sberbank branches), then selling a metal bar or gold coin is almost impossible.

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 move far away; the alternative is to look at their provincial status from a different perspective.

• 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 every year it becomes more and more established here, however, it is almost impossible to buy homemade eggs or farm dairy products. For many suburbanites who live in private homes and engage in farming, the supply is in great demand. They are even greeted from trains!
• Pet breeding- a thoroughbred and highly profitable business that can be organized even in an ordinary city apartment. The offspring of some purebred dogs cost hundreds of thousands of rubles. Just imagine: the puppy has not yet been born, and you already have an order for its sale. There’s 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 where you can insert a bill into them and buy water, chips, a chocolate bar and other products? This is a vending machine. Such devices do not require expensive maintenance or security (as they are located inside protected facilities). There is also no need to spend money on advertising, because their very idea is to provide an additional service to those who have already come to a specific establishment with the goal of spending money.

Most cost effective

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

Options for profitable business in Russia:

• Thrift store. Difficult economic conditions do not allow millions of Russians to throw away used household appliances or used items for the trash, they wouldn’t mind selling them. Social networks or message boards are used. But not everyone has the advertising skills to create an ad, and almost all message boards now require a fee for use. Commission shop- an excellent business that would connect sellers of used equipment and used items and buyers.
• Sale healthy food for amateurs healthy image life. There is a trend in the world: everything more people people are becoming vegetarians, vegans, and types of nutrition that no one had heard of a decade ago, for example, a raw food diet, are gaining momentum. You can open the production of yeast-free bread, buy from farmers or resell homemade dairy products, organize a delivery service drinking water. The demand for such services is still small, but businesses in this area are characterized by excessive customer attachment. If a buyer likes 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. Pharmacy is not just a profitable, but also a highly profitable business. You can open your own outlet as a franchise and become a small unit of a large pharmaceutical family. Current business in times of depreciation of the national currency, it may be necessary to open a pharmacy in a low price range.

Franchise business: pros and cons

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

What is a franchise? Let's imagine you opened your own private kindergarten. You have an original program, the kids like it, the 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 the moment comes when you understand that money is made by sharing your successful experience.

For this purpose, a franchise is being sold, that is, already ready business plan, which calculates all operating costs, describes what personnel are needed, what associated costs are, and so on.

Will such an offer be in demand if potential novice buyers are eager to create their own business, and a successful businessman appears before 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 advantages:

• 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 profits you can expect and what possible losses. Often when starting a business, although these values ​​are written down in the business plan, they have nothing to do with the numbers that you see in your accounting statement.

Disadvantages of the franchise:

• Entry threshold. A franchise is not a gift. Nobody will give you money to start. The first question a franchise seller will ask is whether you have start-up capital. No? Go, earn money, collect.
• Part of the profit will have to be given away. An integral part of any franchise is royalty. This is fair, but if two or three years have passed and you are doing everything yourself, it may be tempting to stop regular contributions by business strategy developers. It won’t work: the contract obliges!
• I have to work. Many novice entrepreneurs mistakenly believe that a franchise is an opportunity to successfully invest money in an existing business project. This is far from the truth and does not overlap with classic investments that are used to generate passive income. A 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 excited you are by this or that idea.

The capital of Russia is probably the most difficult place to open and run a business. However, there are many platforms and promising ideas here.

The population of Moscow is more than 14 million people, plus arriving foreigners and residents of other Russian cities. A large working-age population creates a demand for jobs.

Need to think

The first stage of creating a profitable and promising enterprise is the formation of an idea. A thorough approach to this will allow you to achieve excellent results. There can be many ideas - from the most banal to the crazy. But to create a profitable business in Moscow, you need one - a working one. It is advisable to monitor the market for services and goods provided, compile statistics of the interests and needs of citizens, and determine the direction of demand development.

Conducting such a deep analysis on your own is practically impossible. Against this background, consulting agencies are successful, providing services to identify promising niches in the Moscow economy.

Planning

Even an ordinary trip abroad is carefully planned in advance. The plan indicates everything from the cost of tickets and duration of vacation to the souvenirs purchased and the number of excursions.

Correctly drawing up a business plan will allow you to generate start-up capital, choose a location for an enterprise, decide on personnel and outline development prospects. True, at the time of developing a business plan, thoughts may arise to abandon all this, just because the entrepreneur does not like some aspects.

A business plan is not just a list of “wants” and possibilities. In order to draw up the organizational, financial and marketing components, you need to have knowledge that is not limited to the ability to add 2 and 2. Highly qualified specialists who provide paid services draw up a business plan for a small enterprise for a period of 3 to 5 years.

Due to the fact that Russian legislation does not establish a form of business planning and there are no structural documents regulating it, there is an excellent opportunity to take advantage of the experience of foreign entrepreneurs. The European Economic Communities provide ready-made templates that allow you to create modular business plans. In the Russian Federation, the UNIDO and TACIS standards are most in demand.

"Capital" start

The choice of a niche becomes freer if the future entrepreneur has good personal savings that can be invested in the start-up capital of the company. The legislation of the Russian Federation and the city of Moscow removes the question, “What kind of business can you do in Moscow?”, as it makes it possible to develop small businesses without limiting businessmen in the choice of options for opening a personal business.

Without your own funds, you can attract them from outside. There are a large number of options: loans, subsidies and grants, government orders, etc. In addition to this, you can organize an individual entrepreneur or LLC instead of a corporate form of business.

Harmonization of taxation

Tax evasion is punishable by law. To expand business opportunities, the state provides several types of taxation:

• Full: income tax, unified social tax, VAT and fiscal taxes;
• Simplified: either 6% of the amount of income, or 15% of the amount received from deductions from income;
• Temporary: a type of simplified taxation. The rate is set by the fiscal authority and calculated using a special formula.

The relevance of opening an enterprise

Large and small businesses in Moscow, thanks to the positive attitude of the capital's government, are experiencing high rates of development. It is impossible to imagine the life of Muscovites without the existing business infrastructure - cafes, shops, restaurants, attractions and cinemas. All this, for the most part, belongs to private entrepreneurs and provides them with a comfortable existence.

What is better to open in Moscow? Highly popular in 2016 are retail businesses, farming, online business, and the service and entertainment sectors.

Directions and required documents

The most popular business in Moscow is retail and restaurant projects. A large number of residents creates corresponding demand. But given the popularity of the idea, the niche still has vacancies.

According to their profitability, the places were arranged as follows: trade in movable and real estate, beauty salons and, as surprising as it may be, farming! The demand for farm products is increasing day by day due to the high demand for natural and healthy products. The fashion for raw food, vegetarianism and naturalness contributes its two cents.

To fully conduct business, registration with the fiscal authorities is required. An entrepreneur can register an individual entrepreneur or a limited liability company. The first option looks preferable due to the fact that the registration costs are minimal, and the number of papers that will need to be completed in the future is reduced to a minimum. However, when registering an individual entrepreneur, the creator is deprived of the opportunity to conduct business with legal entities.

Basic documents that the tax office will require:

• Conclusion of the fire service;
• Conclusion of the sanitary-epidemiological service.

Own store

A store can be considered to be a variety of areas - selling groceries, clothing, or jewelry. But you can take it wider and open a supermarket or even a shopping center. A regular grocery store can provide high profitability. At good choice location of such a business will bring stable profits.

When organizing a store, the main part of the preparation will be drawing up a business plan, including a clear description further work, choice of location, purchased equipment, documentation, pricing policy, even store operating hours.

The first step will be registration with the Federal Tax Service. The second step is renting a premises. Building a store from scratch is not recommended due to its high cost. The opening of a grocery store is a tasty morsel for the SanEpidem Station. Preventive and ongoing supervision determines the conformity of the structure and process regulatory documents. Visits from “orderlies” are expected at least 3 times a year.

To maintain the freshness of products and the presentation of the store, you will need to purchase equipment: refrigerators, containers for food, shelving, cash registers, showcases. However, electricity must first be installed; the outlets for it should initially be thought through in the design of the store.

Stores that have several types of products are often divided into departments and require additional hiring of employees: salespeople, cleaners, security guards and loaders. It is taken into account that the role of manager and HR manager will be performed by the organizer of the enterprise himself.

Compliance with all the rules at the end will give excellent profitability indicators. You shouldn’t open a “shopping center” from the very first days. You can start small and achieve more.

Farming

The answer to the question “How to start your own business in Moscow from scratch” is to open a farm. There are a million and a couple more variations of making a profit from agriculture. You can engage in cattle breeding, poultry farming, raising rabbits and piglets. In addition, do not forget about growing vegetables, fruits and grain crops. Honey is highly prized in food markets, so why not keep bees?

When forming a business plan for a farm, you should clearly define the type of its activity and future development prospects. If this is an enterprise whose initial capital does not exceed $1000, then the option of growing fruits and vegetables will be developed. If large investments are attracted to the project, then the only thing that will stop the entrepreneur’s imagination is their size.

Business innovation

New types of business in Moscow are represented by two excellent options: coworking areas and anti-cafes. With proper development and successful choice of location, these projects show high level arrived. The main cost will be rent (about 80% of all costs). In second place is staff remuneration. Third - procurement consumables and products.

The “trick” of such zones has become innovation system payment for the visit. Now the client pays not for the product, but for the time spent. At the same time, companies offer the opportunity to actively communicate with other visitors, print documents, Board games, Internet access, books, cookies, tea and coffee and much more.

The business will benefit if it is opened in a walkable location and will not have competitors in the nearest 2-3 metro stations. Otherwise, you will have to spend money on advertising.

Summing up

From all of the above, it follows that the most profitable business in the city of Moscow is a trading enterprise. Options for products sold can always change in accordance with the wishes of the entrepreneur, but the most popular are food products and household chemicals. The success of a trading enterprise depends on the range of products, its cost and, of course, the quality of service.
