Hello dear readers! Today I want to talk about business with minimum investment or micro business. And also give some business ideas. Very often I am asked a question about how you can start a business with minimal investment (usually from zero to 50,000 rubles).

I’ll say right away that this is possible, but you need to find your own idea and try small. Today I will try to give an answer to this question, and I really hope that you will draw your own conclusions.

Microbusiness - what is it and why you need to start small

When you were born, you did not immediately say the first word, did not immediately take the first step, then why do you think that in business you should immediately open a bank, a car dealership or a large supermarket? Perhaps you have a desire to do something big, but try to tune your brain to what is currently within your power and within the power of your wallet. And when the brain starts to work on goals closer to reality, then ideas will fall to you like a river.

After all, as a rule, they are all in front of the nose. And already when you started small and took on some very small business, then it can be expanded to medium and large scales.

And this very small business is micro business! You can be a micro business doing freelancing, making something at home, reselling some goods, providing services. You will be very small at first, but then time will pass and growth will accelerate.

Did you know that the world's most famous eatery "Subway" (Subvey), used to be just one small outlet, and now has tens of thousands of eateries around the world? And if the founders hadn't opened this one diner, if they hadn't started small, this multi-million dollar company wouldn't exist!

In general, in America, one in ten is engaged in microbusiness, produces something in a garage, sells something, etc., while in Russia this is just beginning to emerge. You have every chance!

Most of you want to do your own thing in order to get out of a job you hate, to start living a better life, to be more free, then to make a big business, and so on. So for these purposes, microbusiness is quite enough.

Many people are in business and earn just a little more than the average. wages but they are happy with what they are doing interesting business and conduct independent activities, not depending on someone.

Interest is important in microbusiness, and love is better! Because microbusiness is built on your passion for action. If you like your business, then you can do it even for small incomes. The most important thing for you now is to understand that you can start small and think about what interests you. And only then think about how you can get money out of your interest. You will say that I am pushing you with banality and you will be right, but if you learn this and you will succeed!

How to start a business with minimal investment

Now let's move on to the fact that you can open a business with minimal investment, and moreover, you need to! You don't need a lot of money to start a micro business. You only need 4 things to get started:

  1. Think about what you like and what you could really do (make an approximate list right now, then add it);
  2. Consider how you can capitalize on your interest. Just think about whether your business can be useful to someone.
  3. See if you have enough money for it. If not enough, then return to point number 1 and go again.

And the fourth is the most difficult! And even if it doesn’t work out, you still did what you like, you didn’t lose anything. And if they invested money, then very little!

Important! You, when you want to eat and you have only 50 rubles in your pocket (I had this, I don’t know about you), you buy what you have enough money for and satisfy the body’s need for food. But, you must admit that if you had 1000 r, then you would buy something tastier. The same goes for starting your micro business. If you have little money, then try to extract the maximum profit from them. You must satisfy your need - start! If you manage to do something out of little money, then later you will move mountains out of big money. Burn out? Get great experience for little money!

Live examples of business with little investment

I'll start with myself, and then move on to cool comrades;)

  • I opened my first site (blog site) with 1000 rubles in my pocket. Behind him immediately the second for 500 rubles. Total 1500 r. After 3 months, both sites in total began to bring 3,000 rubles a month, then 5,000 rubles, then 10, and so on up to 15,000 rubles. After a year and a half, I sold one of them for a tidy sum, and the second remained with my partner.
  • I opened a website development studio without investments at all. She also brought me a little 10,000-30,000 rubles a month. But this is because I had to pay designers and layout designers.
  • The service for selling tweets, likes and everything else was opened for 7000 rubles, paid off in 2 days. He brought 40,000 rubles. per month and was sold.
  • Your blog, which you are now reading, was started with 500 rubles, and now it also generates income.
  • We opened an online bag store with 80,000 - 100,000 rubles, and paid back the money invested in 2 months, from the moment the goods arrived. From the 3rd month he was already carrying clean money and continues to this day.
  • Now another interesting project is being prepared, although there are more investments, but still not millions.

Well, everything about myself. What do you want? Thought I was in a million dollar business. Not! I am a micro businessman! Assets, of course, are not worth a single million, but this is already a matter of time, experience, desire and interest! I am not boasting, and even more so there is nothing to brag about, I just want to show by my own example that you can start small!

Now let's move on to others:

  • The same "SubWay" that I mentioned above was opened for $1000 of initial investment. It is now a multi-million dollar business with tens of thousands of eateries around the world.
  • My friend created several publics in VK for a long time, spending only 2000 rubles on advertising. and soon one of them gained popularity up to a million subscribers, then more, and so on. Income over 100,000 rubles. clean per month.
  • My parents started selling cereals at the street market when I was 5-7 years old, investing some money in the product. Every year there was more money in circulation, outlets more, the assortment expanded and everything went only to increase. Now, of course, they have a staff, they tried other types of business, in general, they developed as best they could and continue to develop to this day.
  • The founder of the JivoSite service (an online consultant for websites) Timur Valishev invested 150,000 rubles in it, and now his service has thousands of paying customers.
  • The same situation is with almost all the founders of publics and sites. Little was invested in all of them, but now it brings a lot.

One conclusion can be drawn. Starting a business with minimal investment is more than realistic, you just need to want, think and do!

And here, by the way, is a video interview with Timur Valishev (JivoSite) and Sergey Baryshnikov (Bigpicture website). I advise you to look:

Business Idea #25: Pet Furniture

The essence of the business idea is as follows: you analyze the pet furniture market, produce the most popular models and sell them in a way that is convenient for you. It is possible to make furniture to order at a higher price.

Pet owners want to please their pets in every possible way and therefore they purchase this or that furniture for them. People with medium or high incomes buy furniture for dogs.

Conclusion

My conclusion, as always, is positive. Business with minimal investment is possible! Think, start, try. You should always start small and business is no exception. Moreover, it is no easier to make a business for a million than for 50,000 rubles. It just seems that there is a lot of money, so everything is simple, but everywhere there are difficulties.

For example, I would not be able to manage entire factories or banks now, I have little experience. Therefore, I will continue to build my small businesses, turn them into medium ones, and there it’s not far to the big ones;)

Roy Raymond wanted to surprise his wife by giving her an unusual and pleasant gift. He decided to give her beautiful underwear.

But when the man got to the women's store, he was simply confused and did not know what to choose. Even experienced consultants could not help Roy in his choice.

Roy never bought anything from the store, so he had a stunning idea. He decided to create own line lingerie and already in 1977 opened his own store called "Victoria's Secrets".

In this unusual store, the owner tried to combine a friendly atmosphere with a certain elegance that is found in European boutiques.

In such a store, even men feel comfortable.

Raymond also invented new system sales of lingerie, namely through catalogs. This solution has become revolutionary in the world of sales.

But five years later, Roy decided to sell his business to Leslie Wexner, who changed the image of a calm store for men.

Fast food chain KFC

One of the founders of fast food chains in the United States was Harlan Sanders.

After the man lived a boring, even miserable life, at the age of 60 he decided to go into business. Garlan had only 6 classes behind him, and by the age of 40 he tried to realize himself in more than ten professions.

He was a stoker, sold car tires, tried himself in the role of a military man, a conductor, delivered mail and even helped on a farm.

But nothing brought him pleasure or money. His family lived quite modestly, but Garlan's wife always believed in the potential of her husband and steadfastly endured all the troubles and changes.

In 1930, the man took up another business. He decided to open a car repair shop. But along with her, he opened a small dining room for his clients.

It was this decision that brought popularity to his business. At first, the dining room was located in one of the workshop rooms.

The dining room consisted of only one table and six chairs, and the food was prepared right in the home kitchen.

Very soon, the fried chicken served here became popular throughout Kentucky. This dish was called Garlan Sanders Fried Chicken. And the highlight of this dish was the seasoning, which was prepared from 11 different spices.

Already in 1937, Sanders expanded his business slightly and opened a motel called Sanders Court & Cafe. It also included a self service restaurant.

And in the 50s, his famous chickens were already sold in almost every corner of America. Several hundred restaurants ordered such a delicious and unusual novelty from Sanders.

Successful business Woolworth

Here is another example of success common man, who managed to become a real millionaire thanks to the fact that he invented food price tags and became the founder of a large Woolworth chain of stores.

At 21, this entrepreneur was young, rather shy, and on top of everything else, he also stuttered. But he was lucky enough to get a job in a small store, as an assistant to the seller.

In those years, sellers did not yet indicate the prices of goods; they all had to be remembered. In addition, the seller himself could assess the quality and quantity of the goods by eye, and tell his price.

The buyer bargained, and if such a price did not suit him, he simply left. But Frank was afraid to bargain, advertise or praise his product.

Once, due to fear of clients, he even lost consciousness. In order to punish his assistant, the owner left him in the store for the whole day and said that if there was no revenue, then Frank could look for another job.

Before the store opened, the guy attached pieces of paper with minimum prices. She became the first prototype of today's price tag.

All the goods that were stale in the warehouse, Frank laid out directly on the table, and placed a sign next to it with the inscription "Everything for 5 cents." And the table itself was placed by the window so that people could see this inscription directly from the street.

To the surprise of the owner, almost all the goods were sold out within three hours, and the revenue for the whole day was almost like a week. Buyers, without haggling, gave those sums that were written on the price tags.

Frank realized that after such a decision, he himself could become a good entrepreneur. He decided to borrow money and open his own store.

In 1919, Frank was the owner of a thousand shops, and his fortune was about 65 million.

Successful Nintendo business

Back in 1889, the creation of the now successful Japanese company begins, which specializes in creating computer games and various consoles.

The original name of the company was Marufuku, and it mainly produced various types of card games in Japanese style. They were painted by hand and then covered with a special varnish.

Such a small, unpretentious business very soon grew into an already large company. In 1902, card making shifted to a Western style that had not previously been known to the Japanese. Thus, the company has become a leader in the field of gambling.

In the 70s, Nintendo decides to expand its production range and move from cards to toy development.

They came up with many simple and at the same time practical toys. For example, a machine that automatically dispenses baseballs, mechanical arm and even a device that jokingly shows the level of your love.

Successful Pampers business

Victor Mills is a production chemist for Procter and Gamble, helping his daughter care for her grandchildren.

He understood that the constant washing and drying of diapers takes a lot of time and is quite an unpleasant and laborious process.

Then he decided to create a disposable diaper that would not have to be washed, and could be thrown away without regret.

But this diaper had to quickly absorb liquid, stay dry and fit into children's underpants or be their shape.

Since Mills tested all his inventions on his relatives, even the first liquid toothpaste, the first diaper models were also on his grandchildren.

After several experimental copies, Mills nevertheless created a new product for his company. The brand of such diapers was called Pampers.

Now the whole world uses this invention, and many mothers are grateful to Mills for saving their time.

Boris, together with his brother, gradually began to develop his business and very soon he was already cooperating with Chinese partners.

The man realized that his business would be successful only if he personally controlled the production process.

That is exactly what he did. As a result, even global brands began to be sewn in China.

So the brothers created famous brand Sela. It was Russia that became the market for this brand, and all the production of these products was also carried out in China.

They cost a fortune, but the price justified the quality. Phil simply solved this global problem athletes.

He decided to create his own company that would produce cheap sneakers, and their quality would be no worse than that of the popular Puma and Adidas.

But in order to realize such a difficult idea, and at the same time make money, sneakers could only be produced in Asia.

Already in 1964, Knight, along with his trainer, invested $ 500 each, and ordered 300 pairs of sneakers from the Japanese company ASICS. After that, Phil starts selling Japanese sneakers in America right from the van.

His sales skyrocketed, and very quickly his small business grew from a mere resale to a huge production of quality footwear under the patented Nike brand.

Within a year, Adolf had designed and started producing the first spiked boots. Which were designed to play football.

Such sneakers were forged thanks to the blacksmith brothers Zelein. This football model turned out to be very comfortable. Boots and gymnastic slippers became the main products of the Dassler family.

But after the father of the family died, the brothers had a disagreement and they divided their company into two Puma and Adidas.

The brothers never found common language and their famous firms remain the main competitors of each other to this day.

Each business has several areas, some bring huge profits, and some, on the contrary, are at a loss, so generalized areas and areas are included in the list.

Illegal types of entrepreneurial activity do not participate in the TOP.

TOP 1: pharmacology

If we talk about the profitable business in the world, then such has always been and remains pharmacology. According to the results of the analysis of experts, it takes the first place, its volume is estimated at 2 trillion dollars a year.

The pharmaceutical market contains the largest number range of goods, which are replenished every year. The sale of medicines all over the world exceeds the turnover received as a result of the trade in drugs, weapons, and cars.

TOP 2: catering establishments

In second place are catering establishments, which include restaurants, cafes, canteens and small buffets, fast food. They bring huge profits, because they are always in demand.

It is necessary to invest a lot of effort and time in catering enterprises, and the amount of invested funds directly depends on the size of future income. A fresh and bright idea for organizing will give a peculiar flavor, help rapid development and increase income.

The main areas that bring high profits in networks include:

  • Internet trade;
  • network online;
  • network advertising on the Internet, bringing the greatest income.

TOP 4: network marketing

Network marketing (MLM), which provides direct sales services, is rightfully considered a business of the 21st century, allowing anyone with any education, regardless of work experience, to join it without any investments, having only one age restriction. This type of business can be carried out by a person who has reached the age of 18.

Network marketing allows you to get a significant income, although in the first six months you need to show maximum effort, activity and perseverance. But unlike other types of business, it does not require much time, you can do it at any convenient time, setting aside several hours a day for it.

Your mark:

In most developed countries of the world, small and medium-sized businesses form the backbone of the economy. And it is not surprising, because with minimal costs, a private entrepreneur can receive by no means small profits. But, of course, success largely depends on the area in which you want (and can) work - services, production, transport, trade, etc.

So who earns the most? Forbes magazine tried to answer this question, having compiled a list of the most profitable and promising segments of small business. The rating is based on data on 300,000 firms and individual entrepreneurs, each area was represented by at least 100 companies. The data was collected by a specialized consulting agency from 2003 to 2011.

As the authors of the rating note, most of the most profitable types of entrepreneurship require excellent professional training. At the same time, these specialties allow you to work for yourself, not to maintain a staff, and sometimes not even use the office. But there is another side of the coin: the clients of such specialists, as a rule, resort to the services of the same professional for many years, that is, it is very difficult for a beginner to quickly take a worthy position in the market.

So, who got into the business top?

1. Private auditors. Net profit - 16.5%. Audit services are in demand at all times, so the financial crisis has not affected the income of these professionals. In addition, clients usually work with the same auditor (or firm) on a regular basis, so there is little to no promotional costs. And, of course, if you work for yourself, the need to rent an office and pay staff is completely eliminated.

2. Chiropractors, 15.3%. Official medicine does not always recognize the craft of these specialists, but this does not prevent them from receiving a decent income. And those who do not maintain their own office and work on departure at the client's home, moreover, have almost no costs.

3. Specialized clinics, 15%. The most popular are minor surgeries, cosmetic procedures and various examinations. Despite the high cost of maintaining such an institution, the prices for services more than cover all costs.

4. Accounting services, 14.9%. Just like auditors, accountants are needed by everyone and always. Any services of these specialists are quite expensive, however, competition in this area is consistently high.

5. Private dentists, 14.7%. These doctors almost never suffer from a shortage of clients. Many patients become regulars and go to the same dentist for decades; plus, they advise their favorite specialist to friends, relatives, colleagues, and so on. Even without a single advertising line and having rather expensive equipment, the dental office is a profitable enterprise.

6. Tax calculations, 14.7%. Nobody likes to fill out declarations and stand in line at the tax office. On human laziness and earn private tax.

7. Dentist-orthodontist, 14.4%. In Russia, these specialists usually do not work outside the walls of any clinics, but in America, a private orthodontist is a fairly common phenomenon. And the services of such doctors are traditionally expensive: if the client wants a Hollywood smile, he must be willing to pay the appropriate price for it.

8. Law offices, 13.4%. At the same level are the approximate income of all law firms and firms.

9. Small lending, 13.3%. Companies that issue small loans secured by the company's products have become popular during the crisis. Large banks unanimously refused loans to entrepreneurs and demanded that previously issued loans be repaid ahead of schedule, and these firms were ready to issue funds without special requirements and for the required period. For small businesses, this has become a real lifesaver, as profits in manufacturing and trade also began to plummet.

10. Private managers, 12.2%. The financial management service is not very popular in our country, however, in the West, people trust traders much more than banks and not their own “mattress”. Even retirees are putting their savings into securities, so that managers have a lot of clients, but there are almost no costs: such a specialist can even work from his own sofa.

11. Drilling of oil and gas wells, 12%.

12. Optometrists, spectacle fitters, 11.5%.

13. Rental non-residential premises, 11,3%.

14. Real estate appraisal, 11.3%.

15. Leasing of mini-warehouses and storage rooms, 11%.

16. Insurance agencies, 11%.

17. Credit intermediaries, 10.7%.

18. Investment advisors, 10.7%.

19. Speech therapists and audiologists, 10.6%.

20. Private therapists, 10.4%.
