Do you live in a small village or town and have a commercial background?

At the same time, you think what can be opened in small town ?

Then the article is written for you.

Of course, there will be fewer potential buyers, but the costs of opening a project will also decrease (compared to a metropolis).

Competition in small towns and villages is usually low.

A small town is a populated area with a population of 50,000-100,000 people.

There are more than 80% of such towns, cities and villages in Russia.

Experts believe that opening a business in such towns is more profitable than in megacities.

What to open in a small town: taking into account the pros and cons

Let's look at the advantages and disadvantages of the idea of ​​opening a business in a small town:

pros	Minuses
Lower capital investments than in a metropolis: lower rental costs, lower advertising costs.	Low purchasing power reduces profits.
Lower employee salaries.	It is difficult to select qualified specialists.
Word of mouth will reduce advertising costs.	Word of mouth can quickly destroy a reputation if it gets screwed up. A personal negative reputation can also affect a business.
Cheap local raw materials.	Expensive imported raw materials.
There is less competition: it is easier to open something that is not yet available in the locality.	There is higher competition for the main, traditional groups of goods.
When competition is low, the demand for goods and services is higher.	Fewer buyers means less profit.
Starting a business has fewer obstacles than in a metropolis. There are preferential programs.	More narrow choice ideas for business due to conservative tastes. It is better to refuse exotic ideas.

Let's analyze the table and try to decide on the choice of case:

Are there not many entrepreneurs in the city selling basic consumer goods (food, clothing, shoes)?

Choose this particular line of business.

Basic goods should be understood as products that you cannot do without in everyday life.

There is always a demand for it.

Occupying this niche means ensuring your success.

Let's say the niche of traditional goods and services is relatively occupied.

Then you need to determine what there is demand for, but what competitors do not yet have.

You can offer these products to your fellow countrymen, simultaneously expanding the range of consumer goods.

The highest profits can come from organizing a small plant or production using local raw materials.

But it’s worth immediately taking into account one very important point, characteristic of .

The main end consumer is not city residents.

Such an undertaking will bring profit when producing large quantities of products aimed at delivery to regions.

This is the most capital-intensive type of business in a small town.

Such an apiary will allow you to become familiar with the business, especially if you have never dealt with it.

An apiary of 20-30 hives is the minimum volume for self-employment status.

Such an enterprise can become the main source of your income.

As a rule, this is a family affair.

Apiary staff

We can talk about 50-100 hives.

Such a business cannot be opened without additional workers.

You will need at least 2 people for every 20-30 hives during the honey harvest season to look after them.

Duties need to be organized in shifts.

What tools will you need for your business?

• overalls (gloves, suit, mask with mesh);
• frames, wire;
• foundation;
• beekeeping chisel;
• bee knife;
• smoker;
• fork;
• drinking bowls, queen cells;
• preparations for the treatment of bees;
• honey extractor;
• wax refiner;
• hives.

From the second season, the apiary can generate an average of 20% to 150% net profit.

It should be noted that beekeepers make money not only from honey.

wax, pollen, propolis, royal jelly, bee-bread, bee-bread, and wax are in demand.

You can also sell young bee colonies - offsets.

Current situation the situation with small businesses in Russia is deplorable. Someone has good ideas, but cannot implement them due to lack of initial capital, someone has financial capabilities, but is in search of a profitable niche or is stuck at the start due to bureaucracy, bribery, peculiarities Russian legislation etc.

1. Hostels

In modern Europe, at every step you come across hostels - mini-hotels that can accommodate up to 12 beds in one room.

What you will need to open a hostel:

• Purchasing or renting premises;
• Registration of individual entrepreneurs;
• Opening a bank account;
• Permission from municipal authorities;
• Permission from the fire inspection and sanitary and epidemiological station;
• Advertising and promotion.

What is the price

Expenses

The costs include obtaining a permit for this type of activity and purchasing equipment. We budget an average of $350-450 for these purposes.
About $70 more will need to be invested in attracting clients and Consumables.

Income

The level of income is influenced by the professionalism of the master, the location of the workshop, and the literacy of the advertising company. Payback – 3-6 months. Earnings – 300-600 dollars per month.

10. Tattoo parlor

You will need to rent premises, purchase equipment, hire a specialist and other expenses. Opening a tattoo parlor in a city with an average population will cost approximately 14-15 thousand dollars.

Video on the topic:

The unstable economic situation has affected everyone differently: some types of businesses have suffered more, others less, and for others new prospects have opened up. Based on open statistics, you can trace the main trends and draw conclusions: in what area is it most profitable to open a business now, and what is it better to abstain 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 SME 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 versus 3,534,516 for the same period in 2014.

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

The decline is mainly due to a drop in sales and investment: the share of trade in small businesses is more than 40%. You shouldn’t rely on the average “hospital temperature,” so let’s take a closer look at how the situation is developing in three areas:

Main directions in trade

Negative influence The crisis in retail is obvious: a decrease in income, a saving model of behavior, a transition of buyers to cheaper goods. The last factor did not turn out to be negative for everyone. “All at one price” type networks are expanding, including actively moving into remote regions (“Fix Price” franchise); commission trade has revived. According to a study by the Magazin Shopping group, as of October last year there was stagnation in the retail sector (Fig. 2, 3).

What entrepreneurs complain about:

1. a drop in sales is noted by 76% of respondents;
2. 55% of retailers were forced to raise prices;
3. Rental costs and property taxes have increased.

In general, the mood is pessimistic; a revival in consumer demand is unlikely to be expected in the near future. But by sector, for industrial goods the decline is not the same, which is clearly visible in Figure 3. For individual product items, the index position is above average.

Summary. The market for luxury consumer goods (and services) shows little change. The economy class segment is not developed. Requires special ability to organize profits for low prices, low costs and margins that not many have (a successful example of “Fix Price”). In recent years, trade has been most active in the middle class segment, and the greatest decline in real incomes has occurred among this part of the population.

How does the current crisis differ from previous ones? Opinion of Evgeny Butman, a serial entrepreneur since 1990 (Forbes interview). "The crises of 1998 and 2008 were instantaneous - everything fell, depreciated, froze. Ah! We looked: it’s not so scary. We picked it up, washed it, glued it up and moved on. And now, it’s completely different. Imagine putting a frog in a pan, and raise the temperature by a degree every hour. The frog will cook without noticing it. There seems to be no crisis, but this very heating is happening. We and our business are like this frog."

Paid services market

In the service sector the situation is different. According to Rosstat, there was a general decrease in consumption in price terms, but it does not look like a “collapse” (Fig. 4). As of November 2015, the share of paid services in the total expenses 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 citizens’ craving for sports, culture and healthy image life.

Table 1. Distribution of consumer services in 2015. According to Rosstat.

Paid services

utilities

Promising trends in the service sector

• Tourism- on internal routes, agrotourism. In order to save money, many go on vacation on their own: it is no coincidence that the hotel industry is experiencing growth. The niche for organizing mini-hotels, catering outlets, parking lots, and hostels is expanding - along highways and in places of mass “wild” recreation.
• Outsourcing of all types- large and medium-sized companies save on personnel, marketing, IT services, and education. Small businesses take advantage of these difficulties by offering inexpensive services, products, and services. Leader - IT sector: mobile applications, website builders, analytics, landing pages.
• Medical, health, sports services- There is a clear increase in demand in this market. If anyone thinks that this is too narrow a professional niche, they are mistaken. Below is an interesting example.

Sale of medical services from Germany

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

In January 2015, a website was created, a month later they opened an office in Magnitogorsk, then in Chelyabinsk. In total, up to 50 orders per month are received through the offices and website, the revenue volume 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 services, they are only making a choice in favor of cheaper ones, with children's needs being a priority. The cost reduction occurs due to the “cleaning up” of the main service: coffee breaks, bookings, and on-site consultations are excluded. Renting 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. Sanctions forced large manufacturers to look for replacements for imported components, materials, and products. Opportunities are opening up for small businesses to serve large enterprises. According to the portal TIU.RU (trade of machines and equipment for SMEs) for the first 9 months of 2015 total amount sales income exceeded last year's level by 20%.

1 Food production.

Large retail chains: Perekrestok, Pyaterochka (Retail Group) signed new contracts with 800 suppliers in 2015. The share of Russian goods has more than doubled compared to 2014. For many product groups it 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"

Family enterprise "Nikolaev and Sons" ( Krasnodar region) increased cheese production 10 times in 2015. The business began 4 years ago, with plans to produce Italian and French “premium” varieties. In total, the line consisted of 12 varieties. With the introduction of the embargo, the company reduced them to 4, with Camembert Lefkadia becoming the main product in demand. Blue cheese was the first to leave the shelves - retailers stood in line. Selling prices start at 1.1 thousand rubles per kg; they have not increased during the year. Supplied to retail chains: "Azbuka Vkusa", "Magnit", "Lenta", "Perekrestok", geography - more than 10 cities.

2 Innovative technologies.

Investors and large enterprises now they are more willing to support Russian developments that have been lying on the shelves of research institutes for years. Scientists are poor at promoting their new products, looking for customers, and organizing the production of prototypes.

Helmet for miners and rescuers with Wi-Fi

In August 2015, NPF "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 smoke), a video camera, and means of communication with the control center. While an agreement has been concluded with the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the first samples are also being supplied to neighbors - to the mining town of Kuzbass. The high-tech development has no analogues in the world; Germany has shown interest in it. Is it worth saying what a foreign contract means now?

3 Highly specialized niches.

Many large productions they need components, which are unprofitable and troublesome to produce. They willingly outsource such tasks to small businesses. There are always unoccupied spaces 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 and quarries. Production began five years ago, and in 2015 they began supplying products to Belarus and Kazakhstan. In 2016, it is planned to conclude agreements with Uzbekistan and 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. What gets in the way is a lack of information and the problem of finding buyers. There are special structures where you can get advice on these issues: Russian Export Center, Excar.

The Export Insurance Agency (EXIAR) announced data for 2014. The number of exporters among small and medium-sized enterprises by the end of the year amounted to 13,500 firms, 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 commonplace for many entrepreneurs. The small enterprise "Zaitsa" (Khabarovsk) entered into contracts for the supply of regular product- ice cream. It is interesting that in the city itself, imported products from Moscow and Tomsk predominate. According to director Ilya Amirkhanov, the Chinese were very surprised by our initiative. However, 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 higher quality and are willing to pay for it.

Lower price segment 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 at 2 times more expensive than in its homeland - $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 per serving was set on the advice of the Chinese from $3 to $6. Sales figures exceeded the values ​​of European outlets by 300%.

Conclusions. There is no clear answer to the question of what 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 and cultural and sports projects. In any case, those leaving the market are being replaced by those who offer a new, more convenient, profitable solution.

When a person has a desire to open own business, the first thing to do is to choose a promising profitable idea. There are many different directions entrepreneurial activity, among which you need to find a niche where you understand best. The answer to the question of which business is the most profitable for beginners can be found in this publication.

6 examples for running a profitable business in the village

A small town or village has several advantages for developing a profitable business:

• there is an opportunity to grow something for sale (animals, birds, vegetables) and make environmentally friendly products (for example, natural dairy products);
• renting premises and land in the countryside is cheaper than in cities;
• the infrastructure here is less developed, which means there are more unoccupied niches.

The main disadvantage of opening a business in a village is that it won’t be possible to create a large business – the demand and purchasing power are not so high. At first you will not be able to earn millions, but in the future it is possible to organize delivery to nearby cities (and therefore increase profits).

In this case, doing business in a village may be even more profitable than in a big city.

Let's look at 6 specific ideas for business that are profitable to do in the village.

– this is not an innovative idea, but it is quite a profitable business, especially here where competition is minimal.

To do this, you need to ensure regular delivery of bread, drinks, sweets and other products. You can also bring clothes in a small assortment or to order.

No. 2. Rural tourism.

This activity has become popular relatively recently. People who have already earned their first million sometimes need to unwind, live in a village, or residents of a metropolis want to show their children where tomatoes grow and what ducklings look like.

And if your village is full of picturesque landscapes, then correct use advertising, you are guaranteed a constant flow of clients.

So, if you inherited a house in the village, do not rush to sell it. It would be more profitable to restore it and run a small hotel business.

No. 3. Medicinal tea.

Many people want to be able to treat simple illnesses with herbs, and not be dependent on pharmacies. Therefore, it is profitable to produce and sell medicinal tea.

The peculiarity of this type of business is that not every area is suitable for this. Plus, you need to study the benefits of herbs and be able to distinguish one from another.

No. 4. Farming.

Eco-friendly products are gaining popularity all over the world.

Livestock or poultry meat can be sold directly to customers, or delivered to local stores. You can also focus on breeding a specific breed of animal, which is also valued in a specialized market.

No. 5. Growing vegetables.

Again, eco-products.

If you have a properly equipped greenhouse, you can provide yourself with income all year round, fruits and berries. The same products can be sold in the winter as canned food.

Do not forget about growing seedlings and seedlings (strawberries, raspberries, currants, gooseberries, fruit trees and greenhouse vegetables).

In general, recently there has been a tendency for people to “come” to the village in search of more favorable conditions for your business.

No. 6. Hairdresser and nail technician services.

All girls - both in a big metropolis and in a village - want to look beautiful.

You can take professional courses as a hairdresser or nail artist. Of course, it would be more profitable to run such a business at home or at a client’s home, but if business goes well, you can save up for a small beauty salon.

Step 3: Understand whether you are enjoying the business and how well you are doing.

If you're not enjoying your business, find new idea. It's much harder to succeed in a business you don't like. And the likelihood that over time you will like something that you “don’t like” is close to zero.

Step 4: Calculate whether the business has a reasonable chance of making a profit.
