Every aspiring entrepreneur strives to open the most profitable business that would immediately begin to generate significant income. This actually happens sometimes, although there are many more opposite cases in life...

When in 2018, in search engine queries, you come across the coveted question “how to open a business now to be profitable,” I would like to advise the author of the question not to follow other people’s advice! In 2018, the situation is far from the same as in 1996, when a weakly saturated market happily accepted any innovation. Nowadays, not a single case can be completed without careful observation and a comprehensive analysis of the situation.

We also decided to conduct our own research, interviewing entrepreneurs and experts on the topic “the most profitable business in Russia today.” We bring to your attention the most popular types of activities named by respondents.

What was taken into account when assessing which business was the most profitable?

1. Positive and negative reviews for each activity area earned (or took away) points. Every positive point added one point, and negative feedback took the ball.
2. We did not include activities typical of large businesses (for example, banking or industrial segments) in the survey. It is unlikely that novice entrepreneurs can afford such options. We focused on those areas in which small and medium business.
3. We asked you to pay special attention to the cost of opening a business. The reduction in household incomes played a role: 2014 was still marked by successful discoveries from scratch, and 2018 saw minimal investment getting along is not at all easy. Therefore, we rewarded activities for which the initial capital was estimated at no more than 50 thousand rubles with an additional plus point.
4. Tax experts had the right to add or subtract 1 point if they considered that the business was very simple (or, accordingly, especially difficult) from the point of view tax accounting and reporting.
5. Expert accountants could add or deduct 1 point when assessing the complexity of accounting.
6. In addition, we assessed the dependence of business on the region, that is, we tried to analyze how promising and interesting this or that area is outside of attachment to Moscow or St. Petersburg. Universalism was marked with an additional positive point.

Now let’s try to evaluate the advantageous and disadvantageous aspects noted by respondents in each area.

Retail store

The leader of the survey scored points due to geographical independence and constant demand. A good argument was made: a person needs to eat everywhere and every day, and he also needs to dress and put on shoes. Moreover, these needs are urgent, so there will always be some kind of income, whether the year is 2000 or 2018. We did not ask to indicate the type of retail store, but in the notes the respondents noted that now it is more correct to open an ordinary bread stall than a tea stall / coffee boutique.

Here is an example of a story from entrepreneur Sergei R. from Tyumen: “Last year, a good friend and I almost simultaneously opened our own business. He rented a room on the ground floor of a residential building for a small grocery store, and I started installing doors, plastic windows and air conditioners. A friend has experience in retail sales was minimal, but I worked in my field for almost 10 years.
Summing up the first year of “the voyage itself,” I will note that my friend’s profit is both higher and more stable than mine. It never happens to him that one day he has no income at all. For me, this situation is common. It turns out that in 2018 it is more profitable to sell products than to install windows and doors.”

Of course, without knowing all the factors involved in running a business between friends, it is difficult to draw a clear conclusion in favor of a grocery store. There are plenty of problems too. Our accounting expert pointed out a big paperwork, accompanying retail. The tax expert drew attention to the limits on special tax regimes, as well as problems with the sale of alcohol for individual entrepreneurs.

Online store

The online store was able to gain recognition, first of all, for minimum costs when opening. Many respondents added extra points to this type of activity specifically for “starting from scratch.” In addition, they noted the flexibility and ample opportunities in business management, since reorienting an online store to other products is much easier than a regular store.

Opinion of entrepreneur Oleg S. from Moscow: “Online stores are the future, as more and more citizens and organizations use the Internet to purchase goods and order services. It is fast, in some cases cheaper and quite convenient from a service standpoint, since the client chooses how and when he will receive the goods. Not all goods can be purchased through an online store yet, but it is quite possible that in a few years we will even order a loaf of bread and a packet of kefir for breakfast online.”
Of the minuses: (unfortunately, you cannot engage in online trading under the UTII or patent taxation system). There is a certain dependence on payment systems, delivery services, when ordering goods abroad.

Renovation of apartments and offices

High rating repair work is also due to the opportunity to start a business with minimal investment. Professionals who know how to work with their hands (and, in addition, plan the process, draw up estimates, select materials, etc.) are highly valued in the labor market. Many of them prefer to run their own business and receive more money, and not work as an employee for a modest remuneration.

This is how individual entrepreneur from the Moscow region Andrey P. characterizes this business: “Repair services are a good business if the entrepreneur himself is a professional in this field. Then it’s easier to come to an agreement with the customer and select performers for a specific project.
Usually in this business everyone knows each other, reputation matters a lot. With a good reputation due to word of mouth, you can work with virtually no advertising costs; orders find you themselves. But at the initial stage you will have to work hard to earn this reputation.”

From negative aspects This business can be called highly competitive, which makes it very difficult for a novice entrepreneur to get an order at first. In addition, tax authorities closely monitor repair LLCs and individual entrepreneurs, since this business “attracts” various violations related to tax evasion.

Cafe / Bar / Pizzeria / Dining room

This business occupies an unexpectedly high position in the ranking. It would seem that in a crisis, with falling income levels, the population would reduce spending on trips to a cafe or pizzeria. Actually this is not true. Citizens still spend time in such establishments, but at the same time they have become more demanding about the quality of the menu and service.

Bar owner Karen O. from Voronezh described this situation as follows: “Customers today act on the principle: “If I allocated money to go to a bar with friends to watch a football match, then I need a full range of pleasures - good food and drinks, high-quality broadcasting, comfortable seats, fast service.” If at least something doesn’t suit you completely, then the person goes to another establishment and will not return to you.”

Difficulties are associated primarily with the complexity of accounting and tax accounting, numerous audits and competition from large restaurant chains.

Wholesale

The good thing about business is that even one client per week can bring in income comparable to the monthly income of all clients of a retail store. But where the profits are high, the risks are also high.

1. Firstly, wholesalers are very sensitive to transport links, since they need to ensure both the delivery of goods and their shipment.
2. Secondly, the business is highly dependent on suppliers. Any problems from the supplier also have a significant impact on the wholesaler. This is a case where losing a client is less painful than losing a supplier.
3. Thirdly, wholesale trade is carried out only on , which means it is characterized by complex accounting and tax accounting processes.

Here is the point of view of Eduard F. from Moscow: “Wholesale trade is a profitable business if you have reliable supplier With good product. You can have an income of a million rubles a month by selling cheap goods that are in demand. IN last years Wholesalers are also firmly established on the Internet, which allows them to shorten the sales cycle and even dispense with warehouse space.”

Passenger and cargo transportation / taxi

Many vehicle owners prefer to earn money on their own, without being hired as a driver by an organization. You can start a business at virtually no cost, just by having at least one car. You can gradually increase your vehicle fleet by attracting hired workers.

A driver with 20 years of experience, Sergey M. from the Ryazan region, noted interesting feature of your business: “If a person is used to earning money by driving a car, it will not be difficult for him to open his own business related to transportation. In this business, the main problem is “shadow” competitors occupying all crowded places, not paying taxes, but at the same time raising prices. They scare away potential clients who prefer to travel public transport. There is also great competition from large taxi companies; there is a real advertising war going on.”

Design, web design and website related work

This business is certainly not for everyone. You need to be on first-name terms with the computer, to know special programs and be able to apply them. That is, without the appropriate experience and education, trying to start your own business in the field of, for example, web design is not the best option. On the other hand, you can write articles for websites, be a resource administrator and social groups without knowledge of complex programs.

“Competition is very high,” almost all respondents noted this. As well as the fact that this is an excellent example of a business without initial investment. At the start, it is not even necessary to register an LLC or individual entrepreneur, but make do with a civil law agreement. Having acquired several regular customers, you can think about both the company and the staff.

Beauty salon / SPA / sauna / fitness

Opening a beauty salon or SPA salon requires an analysis of the competitive environment. If in your area or locality similar services are already offered, it is worth analyzing whether the demand is sufficient to support another establishment. Despite the noticeable general trend of hobby health treatments, this area of ​​activity is not vital for the client. Investments in opening this business are not very large, but their payback cannot be quick.

It's good if you have a prepared client base that is ready to try using your services. It is unwise to rely on clients “from the street”; people rarely enter such places by accident. This is what the owner of a beauty salon from Zelenograd, Tamara R., told us: “I always liked doing nails, trying new polishes and technologies. At first I received friends and acquaintances at home, and then I decided that I needed to do what I loved not in free time, but constantly. She opened a small salon, where she redirected all her clients.”

Legal services

Legal services are a very specific business, which is designed for people with appropriate education. If legal issues do not seem complicated and tedious to you, you are able to understand any law - you can try! The business is characterized by minimal investments at the start (mainly advertising), brings in quite a significant income (our citizens are accustomed to paying decent fees to lawyers) and, at the same time, does not burden the entrepreneur with accounting and tax audits.

Tax officers often know the laws worse than the lawyers themselves, whom they could go to with an audit. And every successful consultation or service provided brings you not a single client, but also all his closest friends and relatives.

Organization of entertainment events

Our rating is completed by an activity that requires activity and optimism. The target audience is located in any area, because you have a lot of ideas at your disposal for birthdays, corporate events, weddings, professional holidays, and excursions. This also includes the services of a photographer and DJ. You are limited only by your own creative capabilities and the ability to show yourself to potential clients.

You can start a business practically from scratch, offering your services through social media and sites, friends and acquaintances. The main problem is competition, which is traditionally high in this area. Therefore, you must, of course, be a bright, positive person to whom others are drawn.

Sometimes the most profitable business is the one that leaves you personal time and which you can do more with pleasure. This kind of business can bring good money, but it did not start out as “a way to make a lot of money.” Specialists in their field can always turn their training into a full-fledged business, such as tutors (now this is one of the things that makes it easier to start). Let your business become a hobby, something that you really want and are interested in doing.

Examples of such “tent-type” startups can be seen in parks, at festivals, and in small pavilions next to cultural venues. How it works and what it is based on is in this video (from the exhibition, where you can buy any fashionable trifle, have a delicious meal, and purchase rare items):

In most developed countries of the world, small and medium-sized businesses form the basis of the economy. And it’s not surprising, because with minimal costs, a private entrepreneur can make significant profits. But, of course, success largely depends on the area in which you want (and can) work - services, manufacturing, transport, trade, etc.

So who earns the most? Forbes magazine tried to answer this question by compiling a list of the most profitable and promising small business segments. The rating is based on data on 300 thousand companies 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 vocational training. At the same time, these specialties allow you to work for yourself, not have a staff, and sometimes not even use an office. But there is another side to the coin: clients of such specialists, as a rule, resort to the services of the same professional long years, that is, it is very difficult for a beginner to quickly take a worthy position in the market.

So, who made it to the business top?

1. Private auditors. Net profit - 16.5%. Audit services are in demand at all times, so financial crisis had no effect on the income of these specialists. In addition, clients tend to regularly work with the same auditor (or firm), so promotional costs are virtually unnecessary. And, of course, if you work for yourself, the need to rent an office and pay staff completely disappears.

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-site at the client’s home, also 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 establishment, the prices for services more than cover all costs.

4. Accounting services, 14.9%. Just like auditors, accountants are always needed by everyone. 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 lack of clients. Many patients become regulars and go to the same dentist for decades; plus, they recommend the specialist they like to friends, relatives, colleagues, and so on. Even without a single advertising line and having quite expensive equipment, a dental office is a profitable enterprise.

6. Tax calculations, 14.7%. Nobody likes filling out declarations and standing in line at tax office. Private tax officials make money from human laziness.

7. 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 occurrence. And the services of such doctors are traditionally expensive: if a client wants a Hollywood smile, he must be willing to pay the appropriate price for it.

8. Law firms, 13.4%. The approximate income of all law firms and small businesses is at this same level.

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 became a real lifesaver, as profits in production and trade also began to fall rapidly.

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

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

12. Ophthalmologists, specialists in the selection of glasses, 11.5%.

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

14. Real estate valuation, 11.3%.

15. Renting 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%.

Everyone wants to earn a huge amount of money, and some do not want to give their all, while receiving the maximum profit, while others, on the contrary, devote themselves entirely to the “idea”.

Social surveys over the past few decades have shown that many consider oil, financial, tobacco, alcohol, pharmacy, dental, hairdressing, investment business, daily rent of an apartment. This opinion is widespread among the masses who do not go into details of the development and nuances of doing business.

Of course, everyone has the right to choose their own business. If you like to engage in livestock farming or grow and sell flowers - please, because the main thing is to reach the top - wealth.

Nuances of doing business in the Russian Federation

At all times, in any country in the world, a business that met several conditions for its conduct was considered a profitable and profitable business:

• A business where the source is passive income, and which is constantly increasing, can be considered profitable. In other words, this is income that does not depend directly on you. Examples of businesses with passive income include chains of stores, pharmacies, and websites.
• A profitable business is a business where goods, regardless of location, region, and services are in constant demand among buyers and tend to run out, and their purchase is not influenced by either political aspects or climatic conditions. Examples include food, clothing, detergents, goods and services through which the buyer can save (fuel), goods and services related to beauty and health.
• The surest way is to minimize the costs associated with doing business and eliminating competitors. These aspects are quite feasible to achieve. It all depends on the area in which you decide to open your business.

If we take into account the conditions for doing business in the Russian Federation, then any entrepreneur will be hampered by a number of realities present in the country:

• The people of our country are characterized by collectivism, and few people can take on the responsibility (compared to the West) to open and engage own business. People are not ready to realize themselves economically due to the lack of skills in running a business and the material base to start one.
• Our mentality is designed in such a way that we often simply cannot act honestly and openly with our partners.
• A high level of corruption makes it possible to solve emerging problems without reference to business culture (business correspondence, negotiations and transactions, honesty towards a partner).
• An entrepreneur needs help from the state, and, unfortunately, it is quite small.

But, nevertheless, if you want to build your own business and develop it, you should not pay attention to negative aspects doing business in our country and moving forward. After all, the one who walks will master the road.

Beneficial types of small business in the Russian Federation

It is the development of small businesses that ensures a stable economic situation in the country. Able to run a small business middle class population, one who subsequently purchases apartments, cars, food and essential products on a daily basis, thereby influencing economic stability.

The President and the Government direct their programs towards running and expanding small businesses, but local authorities, on the contrary, often provide negative impact, “put a spoke in the wheels” of small businesses. It turns out to be a paradoxical situation.

However, small businesses are trying to exist and develop. The main task of such a business is obtaining maximum profit by its owner. Most entrepreneurs are trying to find their own profitable small business; as a result, they are considered different directions commercial activities.

According to statistics for the last few years, commerce was considered a profitable business in the country - a business related to the purchase and sale of goods (most often food). Businessmen opened large and small shops, stalls, and kiosks where one could purchase certain types of products.

But with the introduction of the law on the sale and purchase of alcohol and tobacco products and certain requirements for the points where these goods are sold, this business has become less profitable.

The opinions of statisticians and specialists at different levels agree that today a profitable small business in Russia can be considered a business, the basis of which is provision and provision of various types of services to individuals and legal entities.

One of the types of this service is repair of premises. Many, having purchased a premises for housing or for work (office), try to improve it, make it more cozy and comfortable to lift their spirits or to create a positive work environment. Even those who are not able to purchase their own premises, renting space, still strive to bring it into proper shape.

Along with the provision of premises repair services, there is also the provision of car repair services or tire fitting. Most often these are small, minor repairs (painting the body, aligning car parts, replacing tires, repairing tires).

This also includes the provision of legal and accounting services. In conclusion, it is worth noting that any small business can become profitable if you decide for yourself what is closest to your soul (any business should not be a burden, but bring joy), consider the region of your residence (which business will be in demand) and conduct marketing research on the profitability of a particular business you have chosen.

Profitable types of medium and large businesses

Medium business in Russia is the most precarious type of business. This is due to the fact that he has to compete with both small and large companies. As a result, it either outgrows and becomes large or disappears altogether. Although there are companies (a kind of monopolists) that work on favorable terms with one or two regular consumers and produce specific products (wheelchairs, repairs of city monuments).

Today, profitable medium-sized businesses include workshops for sewing and repairing essential goods (clothes and shoes, children's toys, soft toys).

Large business is the most durable among the three types. Most often, these are monopolies with their own operating principles that produce big number cheap products. The majority of people, due to their illiteracy or unwillingness to delve into details, believes big business government agency and treats him with skepticism and distrust. This is usually associated with the dubious privatization that took place at the peak of the 90s. And it’s not so much privatization that is the problem, but the fact that to an ordinary citizen It is almost impossible to imagine that a person like him is able to acquire, for example, a large metallurgical plant.

Nevertheless, let’s look at the statistics and highlight profitable types of large businesses in Russia. Today they are recognized as the oil and metallurgical businesses.

What are the benefits of being in the service sector?

The concept of “service sector” in other words is that activity that is aimed at providing different series services (commercial and non-commercial) to various enterprises, organizations and individuals. Today, this area is becoming widespread. In economically developed countries, it has long since firmly established itself and accounts for more than 60-70% of the economy in terms of the number of people employed in it.

1. First place is given to services Catering . Today, catering restaurants similar to “Soviet” canteens have become widespread. Cafes, restaurants, bars, pizzerias, snack bars, culinary shops - all this refers to catering services. Their placement can be found both in separate buildings intended for all visitors, and on the territory of certain enterprises and institutions serving only employees of these organizations.
2. Housing and communal services. They are also a profitable business in the service sector. These include services provided by the contractor for repairs and maintenance of premises and buildings.
3. Financial services. Russian Post is developing its capabilities and providing the population and organizations with ample opportunities. Today, organizations have emerged that provide some kind of financial services to the population (indirectly). Their responsibility is to place automatic transfer boxes Money by card number, payment of pensions, reception utility payments, service bank cards and many other operations.
4. Information Services. Services via Internet connection. Providing clients with a knowledge base about a particular product or product.

The following listed types of services are also profitable if you see your business in them: rental services, tourism, hotel, legal, security, translation services, trade and transport services, entertainment.

Profitable business on the Internet - myth or reality?

Today it is impossible to imagine without the Internet, regardless of where you are - in the city or in the countryside. Earning money via the Internet has become widespread and has become an excellent source of income.

Many young people today rely on online business. Note that it is much more difficult for a novice user to learn how to run a business online and receive income from it, but why not try, because you don’t invest anything, but on the contrary, you get new experience and skills.

An example would be creation and maintenance of blogs, online stores, advertising sites. Competition is often reduced to zero, since everyone sees and presents the same topic in their own way. Develop your topic and attract Internet advertising agents, who, in turn, will place advertisements, from which you will receive certain deductions from showing site visitors.

Is it possible to run a profitable business in the village?

If it turns out that your life is not in a metropolis, but in a village, and you have entrepreneurial skills or, in other words, “lived”, try, dare, you will succeed. The only thing is that you will need to spend physical strength if you are starting from scratch, or spend a small capital to attract workers.

1. A clear example today is farming. A problem may be the lack of a sales market if the number of livestock or poultry is large. But even here you can find a way out, negotiate with a local store or freeze the meat in refrigerated chests for further sale on the market.
2. Creation of greenhouses and growing in them products necessary for the consumer. IN winter period it can be a variety of greens (dill, parsley, green onions, celery, cilantro, basil), vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes). IN summer period You can prepare potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, put them aside until the cold season and then also use them for sale. Business in the village with seedlings of strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, currants, and gooseberries has become very widespread.
3. Production and sale of medicinal tea (which has become widespread in modern world) or pillows stuffed with herbs. In this line of business, learning the meaning and benefits of herbs and your ability to distinguish one herb from another is important.
