How to start a furniture business? How to open your own factory

Business on participation in trade chains "we buy imported - we sell to compatriots" ceases to be profitable. There are many reasons for this, from geopolitical to economic. For Russian production of any scale, the green light is on today. How to navigate among the opportunities that have opened up, what can a small business bet on?

The time of intermediaries is running out.

From the very beginning of economic freedoms in Russia and until recently, domestic small businesses preferred the sphere of trade and services. Often the business model was elementary: we buy abroad, we sell at home. Low competition, huge choice provided high profitability of projects.

* - with annual revenue up to 1 billion rubles. (2014 criteria)

The crisis, sanctions, a high dollar and a weak ruble dictate new rules of the game: competition in trade and services is increasing, demand is narrowing, profitability is falling. The most significant decrease in revenue for the 1st half of 2015 was recorded in wholesale and retail trade, in cargo transportation. It's time for small businesses to adapt to market changes: today, the trend is the production and implementation of innovative projects. This is where a lot of free / little competitive niches. Let's figure out what is profitable for small businesses to produce in Russia now.

Prospects for production: where to look for profit

Imported products are now available in any Russian stores: food, sports, children's, household, electrical and other goods. Often under the inscription "made in Russia" a product assembled from foreign components is hidden. A small business can successfully launch any of these products. The main thing is to identify what product, what quality and price will be in demand.

When deciding on production, it is worth considering the moods/preferences of consumers in the B2B and B2C sectors. Russians - individuals buy less, save more. The direction of using free money has changed.

What are Russians willing to spend on?

Russian enterprises are focused on the purchase of goods/services that allow them to maintain/increase the level of sales while reducing costs, i.e. they are looking for inexpensive ways to increase the efficiency of business processes and reduce product costs. For example, by replacing imported components with Russian ones.

What is profitable to produce in a crisis by industry

1 Furniture: landfill chic

Italian cuisine is becoming an unaffordable luxury for many. It's time to offer our compatriots high-quality eco-friendly Russian-made furniture. Our consumer now counts money, is sophisticated in the practicality of furniture and has tried Ikea.

Therefore, a successful furniture business idea should be:

cheap in production, competitive in price;
fresh and original, using design solutions;
environmentally friendly, using the ideas of recycling.

Furniture made from pallets (wooden construction pallets) meets these requirements. It can be country, garden, intended for offices and creating residential interiors in country, loft or industrial style. At the same time, it is not necessary to disassemble the pallets, they are used as modules, constructing author's models. The secret is in the right handling. Pallets are a cheap and grateful "building" material.

An important nuance. Furniture should look stylish and functional, not clumsy. Professional designers should participate in the development of models.

2 Products for animals: cheaper and healthier

According to VTsIOM, 76% of Russians have pets. We are third in the world in terms of the number of pets per capita after the US and China. What is profitable to produce in Russia for small businesses for smaller brothers?

The Russian pet food market is growing despite the crisis. In the most profitable market segment - food for cats and dogs - today there are two leaders: Mars and Nestle (joint share - 86%). They can and should be squeezed out by domestic producers. The main thing is to choose the right niche.

It is believed that Russians do not save on pets even when they themselves have nothing to eat. In real life, people switch animals to economy-class feed, preferring the most useful options available.

Healthy food for cats and dogs - minced meat and bones with vitamin and mineral supplements. Such feeds are used by specialized kennels, they are hunted by knowledgeable cat and dog owners. The production of "natural cutlets" for animals is carried out in Russia by a few small producers. The niche is uncompetitive.

For the production of natural food for cats and dogs, an expensive technological line is not needed, everything can be organized on a minimum area with little investment.

To start a full production cycle, you will need equipment:

cutting table for meat products;
meat grinder and minced meat mixer;
molding machine / scales;
shock freezer and "hot" table for packaging;
freezer.

The cost of natural feed is lower than that of industrial “drying”, even if it is produced from mechanically deboned meat, which is used in the manufacture of sausages. The business model is simple. The main limitation of sales is that there must be refrigeration equipment at the point of sale.

3 Building and finishing materials: money out of thin air

The building materials market is shrinking. According to a study by RD Construction analysts, a decline in production in January-July 2015 compared to the second half of 2014 was recorded for cement, ready-mixed concrete, reinforced concrete, red ceramic bricks: -12, -30, -15, -1.5%, respectively. This is how the reduction in the pace of mass housing construction backfired on building materials - the demand for housing is falling.

The main product of the recycling of old tires, crumb rubber, is used in the production of:

rubber tiles / paving stones;
coverings for sports grounds and fitness halls;
wall finishing materials;
innovative road surfaces;
accessories for cars (rugs, mudguards, etc.).

The cost of technological lines for "grinding" tires into crumb rubber depends on productivity, degree of automation of the process, quality and size of the output fraction. But in general, we are talking about costs of 1-12 million rubles. In addition to Chinese equipment options, there are also Russian ones: the plants of Vtorrezina Ecoprom LLC, Alfa-SPK LLC and others offer lines of their own design. It is better to prefer domestic equipment - both the quality of the product and the reliability of the machines are higher.

It is more profitable to produce goods with a high added value, i.e., in addition to crumb rubber, to issue tiles and coatings. The last two products are cold or hot molded from chips, polyurethane adhesive and dye. The cost of equipment starts from 2 million rubles.

The payback period for a mini-factory for the production of rubber tiles is from 6 months. The indicator is excellent, but the investments for the start will require impressive. There is a more economical entry option: many manufacturers (EcoStep, Masterfaybr, etc.) offer to start a franchise business. From 500 thousand rubles.

4 Goods for tourism: wide is my native country

The growth of major world currencies and the rise in the cost of labor in China have a positive effect on the domestic light industry market. In 2015, the share of Russian manufacturers in this industry increased to 24% and continues to grow. What should a startup focus on?

Russians save money on vacation trips abroad. Most have to be content with local color and sponsor domestic tourism. They need equipment.

tourist clothing and equipment of the middle price category;
budget tents (up to 5,000 rubles);
fishing goods in the low and mid-price segment (up to 3,000 rubles).

The production of backpacks, ventilated caps / hats, windproof hats, gloves, encephalitis, thermal underwear, sweaters is a profitable business. You can choose a very narrow niche and engage in the production of mobile baths or thermal bags.

It is not necessary to develop innovative raincoats-boats or T-shirts-life jackets. It is enough to make practical and functional products a la the Expedition clothing range. But at reasonable prices.

5 Automotive equipment: Thule from Tula

What is profitable to produce in Russia for cars, where is the free niche? Comparing our popular Swedish plastic autoboxes from Thule brand with analogues is the same as putting Rolex against ordinary watches. The Thule customer pays for style and brand first. Moreover, luggage boxes from the point of view of production are the simplest products. Thule cost in Europe in the range of $400-970. The price, which is not humane at the current dollar exchange rate already at the place of production, in Russian retail stores turns into a completely surprising one: premium solutions cost 60,000 - 100,000 rubles.

The middle price segment of the autobox market in Russia (10,000 - 20,000 rubles) is now under the gun of Polish, Czech, Italian and Chinese manufacturers. Items from the Middle Kingdom deserve special attention: they are widely presented, but the quality is objectively low. Time to make car trunks in Russia. Domestic manufacturers of boxes for cars exist as a class, but are counted on the fingers (brands ATLANT, VetlaN, LUX). Moreover, some have a meager assortment, others specialize in "luggage systems from European components" (read: they depend on fluctuations in exchange rates), and the quality of others is lame.

During the crisis, mini-production of universal luggage boxes (for all car brands) made of high-quality plastic with a reliable opening / locking system in low and medium price categories is beneficial.

This will require:

vacuum forming equipment (Russian - from 350 thousand rubles);
Press forms;
raw material is ABS plastic.

Cheaper to manufacture soft autoboxes made of polyester, PVC and other plastic polymers. But this is sewing production and a completely different story.

The section presents a variety of options for creating a small manufacturing business with minimal investment (no more than 1 million rubles).

The relevance of a small manufacturing business

It is generally accepted that small business based on the production of products is a complex costly and unprofitable investment. Let's try to refute these allegations and understand the question - what is a mini-production for a small business.

World practice shows that just the ideas, the implementation of which began in small private industries, turned out to be the most viable, promising and progressive. Think of the birth of the legendary Harley-Davidson motorcycle or the assembly of the first batch of computers by Steve Jobs in the garage. Many of the leading corporations are classic examples of small-scale production turning into multi-product giants that bring huge profits, which means that small enterprises are a sure platform for the implementation of bold ideas or a source of stable earnings on time-tested schemes. Let's consider which productions are the most profitable and fast payback today, and also determine the set of mandatory conditions in the organization of any production, on which the potential, and subsequently the real success of the enterprise depends.

Where to begin?

The three pillars that determine the sustainability of a manufacturing enterprise are:

interesting business idea;
knowledge of production technology;
start-up capital in the required amount.

As for any kind of activity, for a small production, the idea is the most important criterion. Entrepreneurs start a new business for various reasons: someone realizes an old dream, and someone tries to earn money, but everyone tries to fulfill the plan that is close and understandable to him. In addition, the ownership of future production facilities, a personal farmstead or land plots will help the entrepreneur significantly reduce costs. This will offset the additional rental costs and will serve as an additional reason to choose an idea in which this property can be used. Also important is the analysis of the regional market, the location of the future enterprise, as well as the degree of demand for the product.

In addition, a businessman must have knowledge of the features and subtleties of the business to be done. It is impossible to make a profit without understanding in production. Such a business project will either not survive, or will require constant financial injections to hire competent personnel, but this is another topic, and our article is devoted to small-scale industries, the business of which starts with minimal financial investments.

The availability of capital is a very important condition for starting. Understanding that the issue of money is very acute, let us dwell on the review of industries with relatively small investment costs up to 1 million rubles, but with promising opportunities.

Advantages and disadvantages of small industries

Since the production is small and its owner usually combines the functions of a manager and an ordinary employee, he knows firsthand about the needs of the enterprise and this allows him to:

actively respond to market changes;
quickly reorient production;
create promising directions;
change the location of the business if necessary.

At the same time, a businessman does not need to coordinate all the decisions and changes made with anyone, and this significantly saves time and reserves, and helps to increase the profitability of the enterprise, since in small industries there is no huge layer of bureaucratic obstacles that invariably accompany large companies.

Along with the advantages of mini-production, they also have disadvantages, which are expressed mainly in the risks of ruin. But such is the prose of life, and entrepreneurs, who are seriously carried away by small business, competently managing the economy and predicting the prospects for its development, achieve excellent results.

Successfully implemented business ideas

Real, effective business ideas with minimal investment in production in 2015 exist in every direction - in the creation of food and non-food products. As a rule, lines for the production of products, for example, pasta, semi-finished meat products, etc., are rather expensive equipment, and it is natural that the costs of operating such a line will be considerable. The smallest investments require narrow-profile production, which does not use expensive equipment. For example, making cakes to order, the main expense for which is the purchase of products, baking dishes and utility bills. And you can try yourself in the production of traditional Russian fast food in a small cafe - pirozhkova, the approximate amount of investment in the opening of which will be about 600 thousand rubles. The average payback of such a point is 1.5-2 years.

Among the low-cost agricultural production, the most economical is the cultivation of vegetables in small areas. In our example, the cost of opening a business for processing 1 hectare of land and planting vegetables amounted to no more than 50 thousand rubles. In this business, knowledge of plant cultivation, the timing and norms of fertilization, the timing of various agrotechnical activities are required.

Farms for raising animals (breeding and for meat), poultry, and the production of chicken eggs have become widespread. Rabbit breeding business, as well as raising laying hens, involves the purchase or construction of premises for animals, their timely vaccination and a whole range of other necessary activities. With invested costs for the production of eggs and the cultivation of laying hens within 245 thousand rubles. (subject to own space) the annual yield is more than 200 thousand rubles. and the payback of the project is 14-16 months. For all the seeming simplicity of these types of production, there are many nuances that must be followed, since violations in the technology of animal breeding are fraught with the loss of livestock. Business plan for breeding geese in a personal backyard, gives a detailed picture of the investment. With an investment of about 300 thousand rubles. The project pays for itself in 2 years.

The small ateliers for individual tailoring that are relevant today are a very popular type of production that requires small investments (about 100 thousand rubles), the bulk of which goes to the purchase of sewing equipment.

Ideas for the development of clothing production can be very diverse: such exotic offers as sewing slings for young mothers, ethnic clothes, clothes for dolls and animals increase the profitability of the enterprise. Clothing repair services should also be developed.

A significant part in the segment of small industries is occupied by the business of manufacturing building and facing materials, for example, the production of corrugated board, metal tiles, doors, windows, etc. A workshop for the production of paving slabs or a profitable business for the production of cinder blocks at a relatively low cost gives excellent results. With investments of 100 - 200 thousand rubles. (depending on the cost of equipment) the payback of the project is 12-18 months.

In conclusion, we recall that all of the listed business ideas have become profitable enterprises under another important condition - the high efficiency of businessmen and the great contribution of their efforts, knowledge and ability to achieve goals.

Business ideas - production: 7 indicators taken into account when choosing + possible directions depending on the scale and type of activity + essential goods + 3 options for activities.

In Russia, only real daredevils are still aiming to start production. Although experienced entrepreneurs say that now is just the right time for this. In addition, there are many directions, the implementation of which does not require large investments.

Because of this, in the material we will consider the business ideas of production. Since the volume of one article does not allow us to analyze each idea in detail, we will briefly go through the most popular options.

How to decide on a business idea for organizing production?

Each person, having a certain amount of capital and an entrepreneurial streak, dreams of something that would bring him a good and stable income.

Over the past few years, the number of people employed in production in a particular industry has increased by almost 7%. The number of individuals whose business has been operating on the market for more than 3 years has increased by 5.3%.

This figure is considered a record for the entire period of research (since 2006). Entrepreneurs who choose relevant business ideas (production of products, for example, which is always in demand) achieve successful results from them. Also, an obligatory component of the triumph is the ability to sell, since the income of the enterprise will depend on the number of sales.

So which option from the many presented to choose?

To decide on one or another idea for starting production, you should pay attention to:

The price mechanism is also important to consider, because the cost of producing any of the products must pay off and generate income.

Before finally choosing a business idea, determine for yourself what goals you are going to pursue. You need to figure out what scale your business model will acquire.

Define the target audience, i.e. Who will you be producing for? If you focus on the consumer with high incomes, you can choose a business idea that is designed to create high-end products. Otherwise, it is advisable to consider ideas related to the production of goods from the middle price or budget segment.

Think about where it is better to open an enterprise, what will be the sales region. If you want the organization of production to be not in vain, look for suitable trade niches.

For example, in large cities it is easier to sell products, on the one hand, because there are a large number of consumers. On the other hand, there is a barrier in the form of high competition. In a rural area or a small town, it is recommended to choose an unoccupied business area, be sure to study the needs of local residents in advance.

Business production ideas and popular destinations

Of great importance is the scope of activities and the area of production in which the entrepreneur plans to engage.

These can be such business ideas: production in the agricultural sector (forestry, livestock breeding, beekeeping, etc.), in the industrial field (processing of raw materials), defense (production of protective equipment).

We must not forget that there are still various areas of small business, which consist in the production of intangible goods.

These include:

the service sector, including banking;
spiritual and scientific production (discoveries, inventions, art).

You can consider business ideas regarding home production. It will be beneficial if it does not require expensive materials, and the process itself is not laborious.

Women may be interested in home business ideas such as jewelry, candles, handmade soap, knitting. For men, tile production, custom-made, glass engraving are suitable.

The business ideas of seasonal production deserve attention as a form of additional income.

Among them are:

production of mini-ponds, artificial reservoirs;
resort business;
production of holiday souvenirs, etc.

Recall that the type of production also affects the choice of an idea:

Ideas for business: production, what is cost-effective today?

If a novice entrepreneur wants to minimize risks, it is worth taking a closer look at the options that will be in demand in any political situation and economic environment.

These include:

No. 1. Food business: an idea for organizing the production of dumplings.

The production of dumplings is a rather interesting business idea. Despite the high competition and saturation of the market, a purposeful entrepreneur can still take his position.

In addition, the implementation of the idea for the production of dumplings will bring a good profit. It does not depend on seasonal fluctuations, because semi-finished products are bought and consumed all year round.

Even in such a business, the technology and production base are simple.

The products themselves can be produced for various consumer segments: budget, medium, premium. But almost half of the market is occupied by dumplings, which low- and middle-income citizens can afford to buy.

Depending on this classification and weight, prices for the packaging of frozen semi-finished products range from 40 to 550 rubles.

In the production of products, high-quality raw materials are used:

minced meat (pork, beef, chicken, pork and beef, turkey);
premium flour;
clean water, salt, spices.

To start the production of dumplings, you need to register as an individual entrepreneur or LLC, obtain certificates of conformity, 2 OKP declarations. Appropriate permits are also required from the Fire Service, Rospotrebnadzor, SES.

You need to have at your disposal a room with an area of 200 square meters. m., it is allocated for the implementation of the technological process, storage of finished products and separately for personnel.

About 15 people work in a large workshop, and 4 people are enough for a small enterprise. Among them are directly employees, a technologist, an accountant, a sales manager, a storekeeper, a driver, laborers, etc.

Production proceeds in 5 stages:

We will not dwell on them in detail.

To run such a business, you need a set of equipment:

flour sifter,
dough mixer,
dough sheeter,
meat grinders,
grinders and more.

When buying, pay attention to the configuration, cost and power. Popular equipment is JGL-120, JGL-135 and analogues.

The most difficult task in implementing the idea for the production of dumplings is the sale of goods. Since there are many competitors on the market, you will have to have significant advantages, offer more reasonable prices, hold promotions, discounts.

Regarding financial indicators, one can observe something like this:

Starting investments will amount to about 2,622,000 rubles, and profit - from 319,422 rubles. With good sales, the cost of doing business will pay off within 8-12 months. Profitability - 12-20%.

No. 2. Small business ideas: production of wood concrete blocks.

From considering the business idea of producing dumplings, let's move on to the manufacture of building materials. Let's give an example, since this direction is economically viable.

A business for the production and sale of wood blocks with a small budget can be opened first at home. Raw materials are relatively cheap, so the cost of production will be low.

This idea is also attractive due to the low level of competition. Arbolite blocks, especially during the construction season, are bought for insulation of load-bearing walls, sound insulation. This is an environmentally friendly product that has many advantages.

In order for production not to be unprofitable, it is necessary to buy good equipment, hire skilled workers, and follow all technological rules. Prices should correspond to quality, but there can be no question of a large margin.

With the right marketing and sales policies, the production of wood blocks in accordance with state standards and building codes, the business owner will be successful.

They produce blocks of two types (structural and heat-insulating type), of various sizes. The weight of one block can be from 16 to 60 kg. Only sufficiently durable products will bring profit to the enterprise.

For the production of building materials, at least 3 raw materials are used:

wood chips,
concrete,
various supplements.

The wood is taken dry or prepared for use on its own, after which the risk of fungus and rot is significantly reduced.

Sawdust or wood chips are purchased from logging companies. It is made from aspen, maple, ash, etc. Also used larch, straw, kenaf. It is desirable to use cement in the production of the highest brand, M400, for example. The exact proportions of the recipe are set by the technologist.

In a certain sequence, the technology is observed and quality control is organized:

The business idea for the production of wood concrete blocks cannot be realized without technical equipment:

wood cutting machines,
hammer mills,
wood chipper,
vibrating table,
kyubels,
vibropress and others.

Powerful equipment will allow you to achieve significant production volumes in a month - 300-500 square meters. m. More expensive, but convenient is the automatic line.

The premises for production should have a large area (from 400 sq. M). This is a working area, a place for warehousing and storage of products. On the territory it is necessary to observe a certain temperature regime - 15-20 ° С.

Separately, you should take care of the site for the procurement of raw materials. If you find a suitable room near the sawmill, you can reduce the item of transport costs.

The staff usually consists of 3-5 people, depending on the automation of production.

Clients in the sale of finished products will be:

building bases and firms;
private traders;
contractor organizations;
large retail outlets, etc.

It is better to find wholesale customers and conclude supply contracts with them. When advertising your business, an entrepreneur needs to use all available methods, including the Internet. If you organize a showroom to demonstrate product samples, you can increase your customer base.

Such small business ideas (production of building materials), as a rule, require large start-up investments. So it is with arbolite blocks.

No. 3. Sewing children's clothing is an idea for a business in the light industry.

Tailoring is a popular business idea, since the final results of production are necessary and accessible to the average population. Clothing production is considered a material-intensive industry and ranks second in terms of gross output in light industry.

Today, many people are interested in this idea, since there are tendencies towards the individual nature of the finished product. Now the production of tailoring is present in every economic region of Russia, but most of all it is in the Northwestern Federal District and the Central Federal District.

Therefore, in other districts where there is a lack of production volumes, you can open a small or medium-sized enterprise, an atelier.

This is interesting ! In the 20th century, there was no factory production, as such. Basically, products were made to order in city workshops or at home. Only 3% of all things were made by large factories.

Sewing production is characterized by:

most of the spending goes on consumables, and especially on raw materials;
shortage in the domestic raw material base, so there is a dependence on import supplies;
the use of predominantly female labor;
the possibility of creating unique products, personal collections;
a variety of forms of doing business;
a wide range of consumers, etc.

We want to draw your attention to such a business idea as. This is a win-win option if the products are of high quality and in accordance with the expectations of the customer.

Why children's? Statistics show that adults, influenced by fashion trends, update their wardrobe relatively often, but even more often young parents do it for their children.

This state of affairs is due to the fact that children are constantly growing, wear out faster and render their outfits unusable. The demographic situation in the country is improving, and the government only contributes to this.

Consequently, the production of clothing for children is relevant and profitable. The business is promising. It can be started at minimal cost if you create a small atelier in your home.

It is worth noting that a variety of options for the assortment range opens up before the entrepreneur. You can engage in the production of pajamas, underwear, T-shirts, sew outerwear.

In addition, babies need rompers, socks, bodysuits, overalls, envelopes, caps, etc., boys and girls need school uniforms, blouses, skirts, blues, seasonal clothes.

Organizational aspects of the production of children's clothing

An entrepreneur, in the course of conducting marketing research, needs to find out what assortment the population of his region needs, and focus on this. After market analysis, registration and certification, you will have to look for premises, purchase equipment, establish relationships with suppliers and purchase raw materials.

If you implement a business idea for sewing children's clothing, then you need to focus on urban centers, since its range is not as stable as, for example, work uniforms.

To implement the idea in the studio format, 30-40 sq. m, the sewing workshop occupies about 70 sq. m. The location should be thoughtful. It is better to open a business near kindergartens, schools, hospitals, shopping centers.

Having carried out repair work and equipped the premises with all the necessary engineering networks, it is time to apply to the relevant authorities for obtaining permits and approvals for doing business.

The fabric should be chosen natural and high quality in different colors:

If the production will be home, all the work will fall on the entrepreneur. To implement a business idea on a workshop scale, you will need to hire 6-9 people. Three of them are seamstresses.

The company also needs a designer, fashion designer, accountant, sales manager.

Before implementing the idea of tailoring children's clothing, an entrepreneur must make financial calculations and reflect them in a business plan.

The average figures are:

wooden pallet- a highly demanded product in logistics. Almost every industrial and commercial enterprise that sells products in large quantities needs pallets, which greatly facilitate the loading and unloading of goods.

Pallet production technology

On a small "garage" scale, pallets are made by hand, using a pneumatic hammer. The main difficulty is to produce those very thin boards that form the frame of the product. For cutting such boards, special multi-saw frame machines are used (for example, RM-50). The average price is 500,000 rubles. The approximate cost of one wooden pallet is 120 rubles, while the retail one is at least 200 rubles. "Navar" from 80 rubles. from one pallet.

A good idea for a small business is the production of reinforced concrete rings. This product is extremely in demand in the construction of wells, ventilation shafts and bridges. In view of the fact that the rings are quite heavy and their delivery is extremely expensive, there are not so many large manufacturers of these products. This means that there is no huge competition and pressure from federal players. This is one of the best products for small production.

What appeals to this idea is a relatively inexpensive start and understandable technology. The minimum set of equipment, including a concrete mixer, a vibrating mold and a vibrating sieve, will cost about 150,000 rubles. This entire "line" can fit in an open area of 100 - 200 square meters. m. The main thing is to choose a flat horizontal surface. The main raw materials for the manufacture of reinforced concrete rings are: reinforcing cage, cement, crushed stone, sand and plasticizing additives. A sewer reinforced concrete ring with a diameter of 1 m at a cost of 800 - 1300 rubles. The minimum selling price is 2000 rubles. The margin is about 100%! Read more…

Polyurethane molds

One of the most suitable ideas for mini home production is the production of silicone or polyurethane molds. Such forms are most often used for the production of decorative stone. The technology is quite simple, and from the equipment, only the “hands” of the master are mainly required. To begin with, a sample is bought, according to which the future matrix (form) will be produced. It is easier for everyone to copy samples from natural stone. The first thing they start with is to cut a sample of stone in a thin layer and stick it on a flat surface. Then formwork is created for pouring polyurethane. Joints are sealed. After the master model is ready, a release agent is applied to the surface of the model. Next, the polyurethane mixture is prepared. The most popular version is Ecarast RT 45A polyurethane. The resulting mixture is poured into the model and incubated for 4 - 5 hours. The form is ready!

The retail price of a silicone mold starts from 1800 rubles. Markup not less than 100%. You can (and should) sell these products online. So, according to Wordstat (Yandex statistics), the phrase “buy a mold for stone production” is searched for about 9,000 times a month! At the same time, there is practically no competition. How the silicone mold is made is clearly shown in the following video:

Cakes to order

A tried-and-true idea for mini-home production is to make custom cakes. The idea is the best for lovers of home baking.

With the advent of social networks, advertising such a business has become much easier. Colorful cakes, some of which cost more than 6000 rubles. (Moscow, St. Petersburg), are laid out in photo albums that are viewed by potential customers. Such cakes are most often ordered for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and corporate events. It should be taken into account that cake making order is seasonal. Most of the bookings are made in the spring, while in the summer there is silence, as people go on vacation. The profitability of this business is estimated at 70%.

Houses - shelves

It has recently become extremely fashionable to decorate children's rooms with shelving houses. This mini-furniture combines two useful functions at once. Firstly, this thing looks cool, and secondly, you can put toys, flowers, various trifles, etc. on it. At the same time, the house-shelf can not only be placed on the floor, but also hung on the wall. So it won't take up any space at all.

In general, the product is in high demand, it is ordered on the Internet and bought in furniture stores. The production of shelving houses is a great option for a small family business that can be organized in virtually “garage conditions”.

Shelf house production technology

Materials for the house can be bought, so to speak, ready-made. That is, you take ready-made wardrobe shelves, horizontal shelves, 10x3 cm boards, wood glue, nails, etc., cut the boards to the required sizes and assemble the structure. If you fork out for machines and produce a cabinet-shelf yourself, then the income will be even higher, since material costs are reduced. A house measuring 600 * 400 mm will cost at least 3000 rubles. (prices can be viewed online). While the cost of material is no more than 1000 r. "Navar" consider yourself. The main condition for the success of such a business is the presence of good craftsmen. In principle, even beginners can assemble a house-shelf. In the following video, an ordinary housewife assembles a similar design:

Pillows for pregnant women

A pregnancy pillow is a specific product that is bought, as the name implies, only for a specific occasion. But that doesn't make it low cost. On the contrary, the markup on pillows for pregnant women is several times higher than on classic options. So, the price of an ordinary pillow made of artificial filler is on average 500 rubles, while for pregnant women it is at least 1100 rubles. At the same time, the material and filler are, in fact, the same.

Pillows for pregnant women differ from ordinary pillows in their unusual design, which can take the form of a horseshoe or bagel to support the head and abdomen. The main purpose of such pillows is to adapt to the human body as conveniently as possible and provide comfort during rest. For a small manufacturer, this product is interesting because, unlike ordinary pillows, it is very often bought on the Internet. Therefore, sales are much less of a problem. Can make a small website, place ads on social networks, on Avito, etc. There are many options offline as well. For example, donate products to specialized stores for expectant mothers. The pillow production workshop can carry out a prefabricated function for the most part. That is, you buy bed covers made of TIK fabric or microfiber, cut the desired sizes, make covers from cotton, coarse calico, satin. As a filler, you can use holofiber or artificial swan down.

Metal stoves "potbelly stoves"

Demanded goods for private houses and baths are metal stoves. A variety of fireplaces, potbelly stoves are even installed in garages. Not infrequently, such furnaces require an individual approach (each client needs his own dimensions and gadgets). Therefore, in addition to generally accepted standards, it is possible to produce furnaces to order.

One person can build a small oven in a mini-workshop. From the materials you will need sheets of metal, pipes, and from the tools - a welding machine, a protective mask, a hammer, a set of electrodes and a grinder. Earnings from one part sold will largely depend on the high cost of the purchased material. Well, and the trade margin, respectively. So, the production of an elementary sauna stove can take 3,000 - 6,000 rubles, while it can be sold at a price of 10,000 rubles.

Step by step opening plan

1. Register an enterprise.
Rent or buy premises for production.
Purchase materials and equipment needed for production.
Hire employees.
Engage in the sale of manufactured products.

How much money can you make from small businesses

It all depends on the type of mini-business:

If this is the production of modular paintings, then the sale of one painting is from 4,000 rubles.
2. The cost of production of 1 pallet is 120 rubles, and it can be sold for 200 rubles.
The profitability of the production of coffins from chipboard is 100%.
The profitability of gypsum garden figures is 35%.
The production of a reinforced concrete ring will cost 800-1,300 rubles, it can be sold for 2,000 rubles.
The margin for the production of polyurethane molds is 100%.
Profitability of cakes to order -70%.
The production of houses - shelves will cost 1,000 rubles, and they can be sold at a price of 3,000 rubles.
The cost of pillows for pregnant women is 2 times higher than regular ones.
3,000-6,000 rubles will be spent on the production of a metal stove - a potbelly stove, and it can be sold for 10,000 rubles.

How much money do you need to start a business.

Again, it all depends on the type of mini-production. For some types of mini-business, you can not rent a room, but use your garage or a room in the private sector, and the production of custom-made cakes can be set up at home. For others, it is necessary to rent a production workshop. In some types of business it is necessary to use hired labor, and costs will increase accordingly.

Which OKVED to indicate for the purpose of registration

OKVED 2 16.24 - production of wooden containers. OKVED 20.75 Manufacture of other fabricated metal products. OKVED 26.66 Manufacture of other products made of concrete, plaster, cement. OKVED 2 13.92 Manufacture of finished textile products, except clothing. OKVED 10.72.2 production of long-term storage cakes and pastries.

Many experts advise novice entrepreneurs to try their hand at trading or providing services. In a certain sense, this seems logical: opening a hot dog stand or a shoe shop is much easier than starting a furniture making shop. However, industrial activity also deserves attention - after all, this is not only a different level of complexity, but also a different level of income.

To create a profitable enterprise, you need to know what kind of production is now in demand in Russia in small businesses. As a rule, this requires at least a little experience in this field. In addition, it should be understood that before reaching self-sufficiency and making a profit, you will have to work for several months or even years. Finally, the manufacture of certain types of products requires the issuance of licenses, certificates or permits.

But at the same time, it is worth noting for beginners who are alarmed by such difficulties: experienced entrepreneurs would hardly want to get involved in production if the result did not justify the effort expended. Why this business is considered profitable:

The organization of a small enterprise is possible without significant capital investments, huge production areas and a staff of hundreds of workers;
The production of demanded products is relatively easy to expand by increasing the range or increasing the capacity of the enterprise;
Business does not specialize. With a decrease in demand, the entrepreneur will quickly reconfigure the machines to produce more popular goods;
You can engage in the manufacture of piece exclusive products. They are much more expensive than mass consumer goods;
Demanded branches of production are supported by the state. The entrepreneur has the right to apply for a grant, subsidy or other assistance.

Cheese production

As a result of political intrigues, the Russian market lost many foreign products, among which were cheeses beloved by citizens. However, domestic entrepreneurs appreciated the prospects and actively engaged in the arrangement of small cheese-making shops. At the same time, the niche has just begun to be filled, and therefore the demand for a quality product still significantly exceeds the supply.

When studying what kind of production is in demand in Russia, it should be taken into account that classic hard cheeses are in the greatest demand among domestic buyers. Accordingly, it is better to start a business with the manufacture of just such varieties.

Creating a mini-factory is more profitable for farmers who breed cows. But even a simple entrepreneur will achieve success in this area if he agrees with the villagers on the purchase of milk at a reasonable price in the amount of 800-1200 liters daily.

A small cheese factory with a capacity of up to 100 kg of product per day can be placed in a room with an area of 35–40 m². Separately, it is necessary to equip a cheese ripening chamber, in which a temperature of 10-12 ° C will be maintained. To equip the workshop you need:

Milk pasteurization tank;
Raw material quality analyzer;
Cheese-making bath;
Cheese pressing and molding press;
Bath for salting;
Packing equipment.

To launch this production, which is in demand on the market, you need to invest about 700 thousand rubles in the business. With an average cost of cheese of 250-300 rubles/kg and a monthly production volume of 2200 kg, the net profit of the entrepreneur will be approximately 150 thousand rubles. Accordingly, investments in the business will pay off in six months.

Production of semi-finished products

Many citizens spend fourteen hours a day at work, as a result of which they do not have time to cook a full lunch and dinner for themselves. But eating only sandwiches and Doshirak is harmful, and dishes from a nearby cafe are unprofitable. The solution to this problem can be the use of high-quality semi-finished products. Such products practically do not require cooking time, and in terms of nutritional value they are significantly superior to common types of fast food.

What small production is in demand in this market segment? People are most willing to purchase meat products, including:

Minced meat dishes - dumplings, manti, dumplings;
Minced meat dishes - meatballs, cutlets;
Breaded meat products;
Other products - quenelles, zrazy, meatballs.

Like any demanded business in the production of products, the manufacture of semi-finished products requires the arrangement of the workshop in accordance with sanitary standards. Its area can be small - for the production of 50–60 kg of products per shift, 50–75 m² is enough. The entrepreneur will also need:

Apparatus for sifting flour;
Professional meat grinder;
Machine for kneading minced meat;
Dough mixer;
Cutlet molding machine;
Machine for making dumplings;
Cooling chamber.

It is possible to complete such a line for 1.4 million rubles. If you do not save on raw materials and stick to recipes, then the cost of a kilogram of products will be approximately 120 rubles. With an equipment capacity of 50 kg per shift and a selling price for products of 250 rubles / kg, the entrepreneur will earn about 140 thousand rubles per month.

Making crispy potatoes

Studying what kind of production is now in demand, you can see that various snacks are especially popular among young people. The segment of chips, crackers and nuts is already occupied by companies that a novice entrepreneur cannot compete with. Meanwhile, there is a snack that a couple of decades ago was in great demand among the residents of the capital, but for a number of reasons did not attract the attention of large manufacturers - this is crispy potatoes.

For its preparation, whole tubers are peeled and cut into thin slices, which are then dried and fried in oil. Unlike the same chips, this snack is not made from mashed potatoes with flavorings and stabilizers, but from a natural product. Therefore, it is more tasty and healthy.

A line processing 40 kg of potatoes and producing 10 kg of product per hour can be placed in a room of 45–50 m². Another 50 m² will be needed for the warehouse of raw materials and finished products. The entrepreneur will have to buy some units:

Apparatus for washing potatoes;
Tuber cleaning machine;
Vegetable cutter;
Bath for blanching;
tunnel oven;
Spice dispenser;
Packing machine.

Suppliers have ready-made sets of equipment for the production of crispy potatoes worth 1.3 million rubles, producing 800-1000 100-gram packs per shift. The wholesale price of the product reaches 45–50 rubles per piece with the initial cost of raw materials of 15 rubles/kg. Accordingly, when the line is loaded by only 75%, the entrepreneur will earn at least 230 thousand rubles per month.

Dried fruit production

Today, many citizens realize that a healthy lifestyle is not a fashion or a whim, but a real necessity. Therefore, they try to exclude harmful high-calorie foods from their diet and replace them with organic products. The latter also includes dried fruits, which contain a huge amount of vitamins and microelements useful for humans. A novice entrepreneur can even make them at home.

Raw materials should be bought from farms and gardeners. Since the appearance of fruits and berries does not affect the quality of the finished product, you can use irregularly shaped, wrinkled and simply ugly fruits: as a rule, they are sold much cheaper than standard ones. Suitable for processing into dried fruits:

Apples, pears, cherries, apricots, peaches;
Grapes, berries, melon;
Figs, dates, prunes;
Bananas, kiwi, pineapples;
Rosehip, cranberry, barberry.

Fruits on an industrial scale are not dried naturally. To equip this demanded mini-production, you will need special equipment:

Bath for washing fruits;
Bone separator;
Drying chamber;
Packing machine.

The German line, which processes 150 kg of fruits and berries per day, costs 1.2 million rubles. From this amount of fruits, 30 kg of finished products are obtained, which can be sold for 75–150 rubles / kg. Accordingly, taking into account overhead costs, the entrepreneur's net profit will be 80 thousand rubles per month.

Drinking water production

The problem of environmental pollution is becoming more and more urgent in Russia. This leads to a deterioration in the quality of water in the water supply system. City services assure that its quality indicators are within the normal range, but many citizens understand that it is unsafe to use tap liquid even after boiling. This trend allows you to make money on the production of clean drinking water.

To cover all possible consumers, water should be bottled in different containers - bottles with a capacity of 0.5 liters, 1.5 liters, 5 liters. Bottles for coolers with a volume of 19 liters are also in great demand - they are bought not only by organizations, but also by private customers.

Clothes for babies and preschoolers;
Clothing for high school students;
Men's and women's clothing;
Business suits for men and women;
Ceremonial suits, wedding dresses;
Jackets, coats, jackets;
Tracksuits;
Uniform and overalls.

To create a sought-after small business production, it is necessary to choose a bright, clean and warm room with an area of up to 300 m². To sew a variety of fabric products here, an entrepreneur should purchase:

Straight stitch and hemming machines;
Overlocks;
Loop and button machines;
Cutting tables;
Ironing installations.

The total investment in the business will amount to 1.1 million rubles. If you sew relatively simple things (trousers, shirts, blouses), then the volume of production for ten seamstresses will reach 4500-5000 items per month. Products can be sold in bulk with a 50% mark-up and earn at least 300 thousand rubles.

Manufacturing of monuments

Unfortunately, due to the deterioration of the economic situation of citizens in Russia, their average life expectancy is declining. Therefore, the manufacture of ritual goods, which has always been included among the most sought-after industries, is becoming an even more relevant business. For entrepreneurs who want to realize themselves in this area, it is most profitable to make various monuments. They are:

Metal. They are inexpensive, but almost never in demand;
Stone. Recently very popular, despite the high price;
From an artificial stone. This material is easier to process than granite;
Concrete. It is used as pure concrete, and in mix with a stone crumb.

The production of concrete and metal monuments is not the most demanded production in Russia. However, for its organization, a room of 50 m² and a modest set of equipment worth 100 thousand rubles are enough, including:

Concrete mixer;
Vibrating sieve and vibrating table;
A set of plastic matrices of different types.

It is more difficult to make monuments from stone - this material is characterized by high hardness and brittleness. A business needs a workshop with an area of 150–200 m² and expensive equipment:

stone cutting machine;
polishing machine;
Engraving machine or manual engraver;
Bulgarian, grinder.

The cost of equipping such a demanded production in Russia in 2020 can amount to 800 thousand rubles. If you buy granite slabs for 4,000 rubles/m², and sell finished products for 9,000 rubles, then you can actually earn 5,000 rubles from each monument. An entrepreneur who will not only make them, but also install them, will receive 200 thousand rubles of profit per month.

Assembly of solar collectors

Russian utilities raise tariffs for their services twice a year, as a result of which many citizens are looking for an opportunity to abandon extortionate services and manage on their own in matters of hot water supply and heating. This suggests that in the future demanded areas of production will be associated with obtaining energy from alternative sources. Of course, photovoltaic batteries and wind farms are not yet available to the mass consumer, but today any owner of a private house can install several solar collectors.

A solar collector is a flat tubular structure with an area of up to 1.5–2 m². The tubes are painted black, so the liquid circulating in them is heated by sunlight to 60-70°C. These settings apply:

For heating water in showers and pools;
For heating greenhouses, greenhouses, livestock farms;
For heating industrial premises;
For heating low-rise residential buildings.

When choosing, it should be taken into account that the equipment for assembling solar collectors costs only 250-300 thousand rubles. This is a variety of power tools - a grinder, a miter saw, a grinder, an airbrush, a compressor. Also, consumables are needed for work - polycarbonate, tubes, fittings, special paint.

You can equip the workshop in a garage or in any other room with an area of 50 m² or more. If you collect here and sell at least three solar collectors a week for 30,000 rubles, you can earn up to 150,000 rubles a month.

Production of glued beams

By studying current trends in low-rise construction, you can find out what kind of production is currently in demand in the building materials market. Many owners of summer cottages and suburban areas believe that houses are easier and faster to build from glued beams. In addition, this material has a low thermal conductivity and retains the useful qualities of wood, which saves on heating.

Glued laminated timber is a wooden beam with a section of up to 200 x 200 mm, assembled from thin boards with mutually opposite direction of the fibers. Due to this, it becomes more durable and resistant to deformation under the influence of moisture.

The production technology is quite simple. It is necessary to dry the lumber, saw it into boards, treat it with protective impregnations, glue it and pass it through a sizing machine. Coniferous species are most often used as raw materials for timber, although products from oak and maple are also produced for wealthy customers.

The workshop itself does not take up much space, but spacious warehouses are needed to store raw materials and finished products. The total production area can reach 1000 m². The list of required equipment includes:

Board splicing machine;
Gluing press;
Tenoning machine;
Four-sided machine;
Drying chamber;
Glue application machine;
Edge trimming machine.

European machines are very expensive. Chinese models are more accessible: it is possible to equip a workshop with them for 5 million rubles. If such an enterprise produces 300 m³ of timber per month, then at a cost of finished products of 22,000 rubles / m³, the businessman's profit will be at least 400 thousand rubles.

Roofing material production

The vast majority of industrial buildings and high-rise residential buildings have a flat roof. It is possible to protect it from precipitation only by laying several layers of rolled insulating materials. The cheapest and most affordable among them is roofing material. However, its service life does not exceed 10 years, which allows the businessman to understand.

Ruberoid is a roofing waterproofing material made on the basis of special cardboard or fiberglass. It is impregnated several times with refractory bitumen and covered with protective dressing, which is used as:

Construction sand;
Slate, basalt, slag;
Talc, dolomite, chalk.

It is not difficult to organize such a sought-after production in Russia: you just need to find a room with an area of 200 m² or more, ensure compliance with fire safety rules and purchase some equipment. This:

Mixer for bitumen;
Table for unwinding the warp;
Bitumen impregnation line;
Sprinkling device;
Winding device.

A line with a capacity of 150 m² per hour costs up to 800 thousand rubles. But if demand exceeds supply, you can buy automated equipment at a price of 1.5 million rubles, which produces 300 m² of roofing material per hour. However, even in the budget version, the production volume will be 3520 rolls 15 m long per month. Wholesalers buy them for 300 rubles apiece. Consequently, in a month the businessman will earn 360 thousand rubles.

Conclusion

Today, the domestic market is in a difficult position. Citizens' incomes do not keep up with rising prices, and therefore many consumers refuse purchases that they made without fear for their wallet several years ago. Of course, in such conditions it is not difficult to choose the most demanded production in Russia: you just need to study the list of essential goods. But it is possible to predict in advance the success of an enterprise after checking its compliance with the following parameters:

Products should be in demand regardless of the income level of the population and the state of the domestic economy;
Raw materials for the manufacture of goods must be produced in Russia. Due to fluctuations in the exchange rate of the ruble, imported materials can become very expensive;
The level of competition in the niche should be low. If supply exceeds demand, it is worth looking for other types of production that are in demand;
The capacity of the segment should be sufficient so that the entrepreneur can develop the business and increase his income.
