New topics for business. Opening a specialized pharmacy

On individual species There is a constant demand for goods and services, and new relevant business niches are emerging in 2017.

 

The number of small businesses in the country is growing every year, despite the forecasts of skeptics. On August 1 of this year, the Federal Tax Service opened the Unified Register of SMEs for public use, and as of this date there were 5,523,765 entries in it. As of December 1, there were already 5,841,509, that is, over 4 months their number increased by almost 6%. This suggests that the flow of people wishing to open their own business is not decreasing. To understand what business is relevant in 2017, let’s note the niches in which growth is observed business activity, and present expert forecasts.

Current business model: Opening a company for renting handymen, income 1.7 million rubles. in year .

A brief overview of statistics: how small businesses fare

According to Rosstat data in 2015, a significant part of SMEs are engaged in the field of trade and personal services related to the repair of household appliances and personal items (Fig. 1).

It is interesting that an analysis of the number of unprofitable enterprises shows minor fluctuations over the past three years (Table 2). From the data presented we can conclude that this value is rather stable for each type of activity. So, better results in wholesale, retail trade, and, oddly enough, in construction.

Provision of other utility, social and personal services

There is no data yet for the last two years, and it is clear that the situation in the economy during this time, at least, has not improved. The RSBI Support Index, compiled quarterly based on a survey of entrepreneurs, helps to assess which industries show greater business activity. Its normal value is 50% and above. The graph shows that since January of this year, all areas of activity have shown growth (Fig. 2).

Where is it better for an entrepreneur: trade, services and production

Despite the relative recovery, all indicators are below normal; things are slightly better in the manufacturing business. Over the three years, trade and services showed the largest decline in profitability. Real incomes of the population in the 4th quarter of 2015, when activity was at its lowest, fell by 9.8% compared to the previous December.

Trade

Gradually, retailers adjusted to the changing demand of the population, and according to the survey, in the 3rd quarter of this year, 19% of entrepreneurs noted an increase in revenue (13% in the second), and the share of those for whom it fell decreased to 33% (from 43%). Of course, food stores have an advantage. The change in demand by product groups and types of services for 6 months (Q4 2015 - Q1 2016) is shown in Figure 4.

The rise in prices did not compensate for the drop in demand (almost 30%) for household appliances and electronics, accessories, cosmetics. Children's clothing and goods suffered less than others (6-7%). As a result, most retailers are seeing a drop in revenue. However, against this pessimistic background, promising trends are also noted.

Internet trade and its services

There is an increase in sales in online stores. According to Yandex.Market, in 2015 it was sold by 23.5% more products than a year earlier. The flow of buyers from regions remote from the center is growing especially rapidly: the Urals, Siberia. Thus, when thinking about what kind of business to open in 2017, you should pay attention to everything related to online trading, including storage and delivery of goods. Thus, according to the director of SDEK (operator, Novosibirsk), for 9 months of 2016 the increase in applications was 76% compared to the same period of the previous year. In the delivery industry, you can open a franchise business.

SDEK franchise

The main activity is express delivery of goods and documents. Proposals from all cities, including small ones, and CIS countries are considered. Investment size from 200,000 rubles, lump sum contribution - 150,000 rubles, royalties with deferred payment after 6 months - 10%.

Services

In this area, services aimed at the end consumer have become less in demand. People's demands have become more modest, the restaurant business has declined, and the demand for educational courses for adults. At the same time, the needs in the B2B segment are constantly growing - business to business is more relevant than ever. Promising niches should be looked for in this direction. Among services directly for the population, three niches can be distinguished that are successfully developing despite the crisis.

1. Fast food cafe, fast food

In 2015, the fast food market showed an increase in turnover by 4%, while in general catering - by 1% (data from NPD Group). In the 1st quarter of 2016, restaurant traffic fell by 14%, while coffee shops and fast food outlets increased by 4% and 3%, respectively. Over 9 months, restaurant income decreased by 1.4% in monetary terms, their share in the total volume of catering enterprises - from 38% to 34%, and fast food expanded to 39% (from 35%).

2. Protecting the interests of bank borrowers

A study by the Sequoia Credit Consolidation company showed that over 9 months of this year, banks sold to collectors record amount debts - 245 billion rubles. It exceeded last year's figure for the same period by 42%. At the same time, the share of mortgage loans sold increased to 6% (1% a year earlier). Considering the recently introduced institution of bankruptcy individuals, it is promising to open a business to protect the rights of borrowers. As successful example You can cite the STOP LOAN company from the city of Ufa, which in 2015 opened 10 franchise enterprises throughout Russia. This business is relevant, and a legal education is not necessary for the organizer.

Editor's note: You can find out more about the proposed business model in the article “Business for protecting the rights of a creditor”.

3. Opening a specialized pharmacy

Sales of medicines, as can be seen from the study “Store Store” (Fig. 4), are at an above average level - 6.3 out of 10. The chain pharmacy market is heavily monopolized, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for an individual entrepreneur to survive. Imported medicines have become more expensive, so people are starting to buy more inexpensive Russian medicines from trusted manufacturers. In this situation, switching to a franchise may be a good solution. famous brand. For example, it is offered by the domestic company Evalar. According to Vladimir Blinke, the first franchisee who came under the wing of this brand in 2013, in Novosibirsk over the past couple of years, competition in this market has increased 3 times. At the same time, he maintained his position, opened 5 new pharmacies, and the average bill increased by 30%.

As for development in the sphere of services for enterprises (B2B), outsourcing of all types continues to actively develop: IT services, accounting and tax consulting. The turnover of these types of businesses in monetary terms in 2015 increased by 8%. A relatively new promising direction has emerged - the provision of services third parties in the field of labor protection, technical safety, SOUT. Here are two areas that are still poorly developed, and the need for which will grow.

  1. Removal and processing of MSW

Production

As shown above (Figure 2), manufacturing small businesses show the highest business activity index over the past two years. Regional subcontracting (production of parts based on orders from large enterprises) and agriculture are actively developing. Below are two promising areas for small businesses.

1 Production of children's toys

Sales of children's toys grew by 8% in 2015, and although this is less than in previous years, there is still demand for them. The problem is that they are expensive, since the goods are mainly imported from abroad (70% from China). Only 10% of them are produced in Russia. The owner of the Market-Igrushka children's goods chain, Oleg Vitkovsky, turned to Chelyabinsk entrepreneurs with a request to organize their production under the store's brand. So far, 10 enterprises have responded to the offer. Everything is required: children's furniture, plastic cars, construction sets. The company's head office is located in Yekaterinburg.

2 Food production

Food products are always in demand and do not require advertising. It’s difficult to call this niche free, but people’s needs are so diverse that there is a place for everyone. This is evidenced by the history of the creation of meat snacks for healthy eating.

Two young entrepreneurs Kirill Prudnikov and Dmitry Kolesnikov noticed that most “snack” products were sweet: nuts, candy bars, and decided to produce a snack from dried meat. The business was started in mid-2015, with 500,000 of their own funds invested. In December they found two sponsors who invested about 8 million rubles in the project. Now low-calorie “Smeat” is sold in 150 points of Moscow and St. Petersburg, in fitness clubs, gas stations, and mini-cafes. Revenue in 2016 amounted to 1.7 million rubles. Interestingly, the business took an unexpected turn. “Culinary” experts suggested to the entrepreneurs that the product turned out to suit “Asian tastes”, and in the near future the friends are going to present it in China at the Russin Gastro exhibition in Beijing.

Experienced businessmen say that the key to success in the manufacturing field is Golden Rule: “don’t look for a way to sell what you produce, but produce what sells.” In most cases this is true, but the last example is rather an exception. Meat snacks hardly have a chance to become a mass product in Russia, but thanks to their “exotic” taste, they can become a profitable export product.

Thus, the question: what business is profitable to open in 2017 has many answers. The main thing is to find a suitable option for yourself, and one that others need.

Business is perhaps one of the few areas where everything new is not at all something that was forgotten and then came into use again. On the contrary, this field is very responsive to innovations made possible by the latest technologies and social processes that simply could not occur before. In this article we will look at the most current business ideas of 2017 - 2018.

Internet business: ideas for 2017!

Internet business will remain the same in 2017 profitable niche as before, of course, if you invest all your time and effort into it. Internet business does not forgive half-hearted efforts. Such a working rhythm is a direct path to losing your money. Keep this in mind and start exploring the most profitable online business ideas of 2017.

Traffic arbitrage - what is it..? And how much does he bring?

This clean water namely business, since the point is to “buy cheaper and sell more expensive.” What will be the product? As you understand, traffic, that is, visitors to a certain resource per day. All websites need traffic. Even very popular ones, because the higher the website traffic, the more profit it brings. So, in 2017, traffic will be needed as before, but the main thing is that traffic arbitrage, as a direction in the Internet business, is not yet sufficiently occupied. The competition here is not as high as, say, among those who sell clothes through online stores, or the same copywriters who literally fight for every customer.

The scheme of such a business is not as complicated as it might seem: you buy (or attract free) traffic - find someone who will buy it profitably - merge the traffic to the buyer’s resource.

There are different ways to “get” traffic:

  • buy on special exchanges, where you can immediately sell it (KupiTraff, Popunder, Wizard TraffStock);
  • receive through contextual, banner, teaser advertising networks;
  • attract visitors to your website, and then send them to your partner’s website through a referral link;
  • generate traffic from communities on social networks and redirect it.

Next, the received traffic needs to be resold at a profit in order to cover your financial costs (if you bought it) or temporary ones (if you “extracted” it for free). They pay for affiliate traffic or partnership programs, which can be freely found on the Internet. The more there are, the better. Everyone pays differently, but you can derive an approximate formula that will reflect your possible income: feel free to multiply the amount of money invested in arbitration by two - that’s the profit that you can get from this business.

There are still only a few art traders: some are scared by the scary name, some are not ready to devote every day to this business, because you need to do it seriously... In any case, if you were interested in fresh and unhackneyed business ideas 2017 for the Internet, this option You can give honorable first place.

Dropshipping! Open an online store without goods or warehouse!

Dropshipping is direct deliveries from the manufacturer to the buyer, with you acting as an intermediary between them. Mediation consists of:

  • creating (or renting) a trading platform;
  • placing orders;
  • consulting clients.

It turns out that the businessman does not buy goods with his own money and does not look for a warehouse. The product passes by him, as it were, but for the fact that he helped formalize the purchase/sale transaction, he receives the difference between the price set by the manufacturer and the price at which the product is sold on his platform.

A typical example of a store using the dropshipping system is modnakasta in Ukraine. There are collected products from various brands according to the most favorable price, but of course, the creators “twist” it in such a way that they themselves are not left with anything. But even in this situation, the cost of clothing is cheaper than in retail stores.

Finding a supplier for your store is not a problem - there are entire databases of suppliers that even offer the use of ready-made platforms. For example, www.insales.ru.

Surely you want to get an answer to the burning question - how much does dropshipping bring per month? My friend Angelina has 2 stores (one for clothes, the second for gadgets) and from them she receives an income of pure form 27,000 rubles per month. If you don't take specific example, but the situation in general, that is, stores that bring in a million or more a month, and there are those that do not bring profit at all. And the latter - 80%. Therefore, opening an online store using the dropshipping system is not a guarantee of stable earnings. It’s not enough to open it - you also need to promote it and win a customer base.

Trading or trading on exchanges!

The rating entitled “Business Ideas 2017” would be incomplete if we did not mention trading on financial exchanges among the options for online business. This idea will be relevant for any year, since you can always make money from fluctuations in exchange rates (as well as other assets). The cyclical nature of the market determines its constant changes, which are a source of income for traders: if he correctly predicts their direction, he will make a profit, if not, he will lose his deposit. This is not a casino or fortune telling on coffee grounds! Trading is a science that needs to be learned. You can do this yourself (by studying information on the Internet), or you can do it with the help of brokers (by taking training courses with them).

By the way, about brokers. These are intermediaries without whom you cannot trade. They provide a trading platform through which you enter the market and place trades. Be careful, as there are many scammers among them.

Here is a list of those brokers whose reliability has been tested by time and real traders:

  • IQ Option;
  • UTRADER;
  • GO Option.

Sometimes it is profitable to bet on young brokers, as they offer profitable terms, give a lot of bonuses, hold promotions. But there is also a risk - it is unknown how long he will last and how his activities will end. Maybe another scammer? Especially for our readers, we name a young broker whose integrity cannot be doubted - Bintrader.com. It’s up to you to decide which of them to cooperate with... You can find another broker altogether - not from this list. There are a lot of opinions and advice on trader forums; studying them will also be useful.

How much will you earn from implementing such a business idea? It depends on:

  • how much you will deposit;
  • how much will you open a deal for?
  • exactly how many trades you will open, with what intensity;
  • what interest does the broker pay on successfully closed transactions?

On average, your earnings, depending on your level of training and trading experience, will be as follows:

  1. Professional – 4000-5000 USD in a week (of course, only a few achieve such success and not in one day).
  2. Specialist – 1000-2000 USD during the week.
  3. Beginner – 100-200 USD in a week - already an excellent result.

As in any business, trading involves risks. Beginners should especially remember this. The first deposit is most often lost in 90% of cases. Therefore, be prepared for this, but do not give up - this is your invaluable experience as a trader, which in the future can lead to consistently high earnings.

What to sell to earn income? Business ideas 2017!

Progress does not stand still, so the article began with the most progressive business ideas that can be implemented via the Internet. Now let’s talk about the classic genre in business – sales. This niche will always be profitable, since people are constantly buying and selling something. The downside of sales is that there is a lot of competition in this field. But you can find such an “unused” assortment that will have no competitors (or rather, almost no competitors, because competition is always and everywhere, and monopolies have long since sunk into oblivion). You can also choose current product for 2017, which will be especially interesting. Below you are offered just such options.

Sales of electronic cigarettes: is there really such a demand for them?

Over the past year, there has been a real boom, which is due to the fact that people began to massively abandon cigarettes and hookahs in favor of electronic cigarettes. Moreover, today it is prestigious and fashionable. If you smoke an electronic cigarette, you are trendy. For young people, the presence of this accessory means that you are cool and presentable. Although it’s not just about “coolness” - many people simply like this thing, so they do not deny themselves the pleasure. After all, e-cigarettes are used by those who want to quit smoking, as they do not contain nicotine.

It is best to focus on an unusual (even souvenir) assortment:

  • Vipers (steamed cigarettes);
  • electronic cigarettes with initials and other inscriptions;
  • Smoking flash drives are a great gift for an office worker who is quitting smoking.

Vipers today are “super” hot commodity. To open a store to sell them, you will need around 120 thousand to 150 thousand rubles (not Moscow prices). Such a business idea will pay for itself in 2-4 months. In the first months, “dirty” income per month will be about 120 thousand rubles. Subtract the cost of goods from it - about half of the net income will remain. If you hired a seller and rented space, then subtract these expenses from the remaining amount. But if you continue in the same spirit, then after another period the income may be twice as much. Do you agree that 200-odd thousand rubles is not a bad monthly income?

We are organizing fruit supplies from Southeast Asia!

For some reason, such fruits on the shelves of our supermarkets (meaning ordinary ones) are very rare, although their cost is not so high. Most likely, the shortage of such fruits is caused by the fact that it is difficult to arrange direct deliveries, since mainly the Thais (mostly fruits are imported from Thailand) work with tonnage transportation, the cargo of which starts from 1 ton or more.

You can try to negotiate with them about smaller deliveries. If you succeed, you will be on top! Alternatively, you can try buying fruits and berries in Vietnam. Local farmers are less spoiled by the attention of foreign investors (that is, you) and even ordinary tourists; perhaps it will be easier to negotiate with them.

If wholesale supply it won’t work out, place advertisements for one-time work! There are many forums where Russians who moved to Thailand or Vietnam sit. They may agree to help their fellow countryman or find the right person from the locals. In this case, you will write him a list of fruits - they will be stingy - and will transfer the parcel in your name through the cargo carriers.

You can offer customers the following types fruits:

  • pattaya;
  • rambutan;
  • coconut;
  • mangosteen;
  • durian;
  • mango;
  • papaya;
  • pamela, etc.

All this is a standard set at local markets, which is always in stock. The cost of these fruits per 1 kg in Southeast Asia varies from 35 to 100 rubles. Agree, this is not much. But taking into account the fact that the dollar has grown several times against the ruble, air travel, and in general, holidays in these countries are no longer affordable for many. But sometimes everyone wants something exotic, so your proposal in 2017 - buy fruits and berries from Thailand - will be very relevant. Even if you double the price of the product, and then include the cost of transportation and labor costs for your intermediary, it will still be more profitable than flying back and forth, and definitely more pleasant than buying weathered fruit in expensive supermarkets.

Entertainment business ideas relevant for 2017!

The farther - the more people they want “bread and circuses”... The more organized their life is, the more they are willing to spend on entertainment. In principle, despite all the forecasts that were made after the introduction of anti-Russian sanctions, the economy continues to develop, and mass impoverishment of the population is not observed. Therefore, in 2017 people will be ready to pay for holidays and recreation. In this regard, pay attention to entertainment business ideas 2017.

Vape bar opening!

Although the law does not prohibit smoking electronic cigarettes, including vapes, in public places, problems still arise from time to time for their owners. For example, not all establishments will meet the desire to smoke with a bang. And this is quite understandable:

  • Some visitors may not like this, so the establishment may lose a client because of you;
  • instead of, for example, smoking a hookah - you, one might say, come with your own smoking instrument, again - the establishment is at a loss.

That is why current business idea for 2017, it will be the opening of a vape bar, where visitors could come with their electronic cigarette and enjoy the atmosphere of your cozy bar, while drinking tea or something stronger, or even cooler - they could come to rent a vape from you.

So far this business niche is empty. An example of the implementation of such a business idea can so far only be found in megacities (Moscow, St. Petersburg), so the possible profit will be given based on the indicators of, so to speak, metropolitan establishments. So, income and costs will be as follows:

  1. For vape bar, where food and drinks will be served (cafe type), costs will be 5 million rubles, monthly profitability will be 700 thousand - 1 million rubles.
  2. For a vape bar like a club of interests, where games and competitions will be held, the opening costs will be about 600 thousand rubles, the profitability will be 1 million rubles.

Organization of quests outdoors and indoors! How to do it?

Quests have appeared in the vastness of Russia since 2014, and the first to open the network of quest rooms “Claustrophobia” were three friends – Kadyrov, Kuznetsov, Kravtsov.

This is an interesting business idea, and also promising - people have long been tired of cinema and restaurants, they want an active and extraordinary vacation. You can open an quest room in the form of a fear room, a crime scene, a meeting place with paranormal phenomena, or just a chamber room from which you “can’t get out.” As an alternative to indoor quests, you can organize outdoor quests.

To open a quest room in a large city, you will need financial investments in the region of approximately 1 million rubles. This is if you started an independent business. Opening quests under a franchise will cost from 90,000 to 300,000 rubles.

Return of invested money is possible within a period of 1 to 4 months. In the best case, your monthly income will be 500,000 thousand rubles.

Tabletop entertainment club: what to buy for it?

If quest rooms are designed more for the public from 16 to 30 years old, then a wider audience will come to such an institution. This means there will be more visitors - there will be grandparents with grandchildren, parents with children, and just entire student or school groups.

All you need is:

  1. Find a room;
  2. Style it like game room(non-boring design, bright colors, comfortable furniture);
  3. Buy Board games(monopoly, football, hockey, Elias, twister, mafia, lotto, etc.)

The starting capital depends on the “scope” of the club and the city. If this is the capital, then it can be 300,000 rubles, and if it is a province, then 30,000 rubles. One visitor will bring you about 1000-1500 rubles a month by the standards of Moscow and 300-500 rubles by the standards small town. The number of visitors per month will depend on your advertising, so you can then calculate the monthly income yourself.

Holding exhibitions: what will we exhibit?

The fact that people were massively attracted to art in 2016 can be judged at least by the record number of visitors to Serov’s exhibition. Now we will also talk about exhibitions, but not necessarily paintings. An excellent business idea would be to organize such exhibitions where people can find someone or buy something.

For example, in big cities, restaurateurs are faced with the idea of ​​finding good chefs. You can arrange a kind of master class exhibition, where chefs will prepare their masterpieces in front of spectators and potential employers, and you will receive a good income for organizing this show. Which one?

It will consist of several components:

  • participation of chefs in the exhibition can cost from 1000 to 2000 rubles;
  • spectator “tickets” - 200-400 rubles;

For one such event you can earn 50-100 thousand rubles. But just keep in mind that first you will need to find a furnished premises and advertise the show.

Similar exhibitions can be held among hairdressers, needlewomen, florists, etc. Thus, you will act as an intermediary between the employer and his future employee, and also give visitors the opportunity to receive aesthetic pleasure.

How much income can you get from an anti-cafe?

The point of an anti-cafe is that here people pay not for the food and drinks purchased, but for the time spent. In fact, the treat is provided free of charge.

The anti-cafe hosts poetry evenings, Mafia games, various master classes, yoga classes, film screenings, drawing lessons, etc.

The demand for antique cafes has been growing in recent years. 2017 will be no exception. Even in large cities there are not so many of them yet, let alone small ones... If you open one anti-cafe in a small town, then it will undoubtedly bring big profit! By the way, which one?

Is renting a bike profitable? Seasonal business!

It’s worth noting right away that this is a seasonal business, however... The popularization of a healthy lifestyle is doing its job - today there are a lot of people who want to switch from a car or public transport to a real exercise bike. In 2017, there will definitely be fewer of them... Therefore, starting somewhere in May (or better yet, in April), you can start preparing for the implementation of a business idea called “bike sharing”. What will you need?

  • Bicycles;
  • Ammunition;
  • Garage;
  • Equipment maintenance personnel.

The starting point where they will be concentrated should be located on a spacious and convenient area for movement: square, park, embankment, square, large shopping centers. Place your bikes where young people like to hang out, as this is your target audience.

Let's talk about expenses. The minimum price for a bicycle for adults that will not fall apart while moving is 10,000 rubles. Ideally, much more expensive. If you start with the minimum, then you need at least 6 units of equipment. Plus add to this the rent of the garage and the salary of the employees if you hire them. These are your costs.

Now about income. If the cost of an hour of skiing is 100-150 rubles, and a day is somewhere around 500-800, then your profit per month can be from 50 to 100 thousand rubles.

Service industry: the most profitable ideas of 2017!

Business ideas in 2017 cannot be left without business options in the service sector. On the one hand, this is a more expensive business, since in addition to materials, premises, equipment, you will also have to pay staff. On the other hand, the demand for services never dries up (they are much more necessary than entertainment), especially those that will be discussed below.

Order pick-up point: how to open it?

The point is that you enter into an agreement with online stores, and they deliver orders to your premises for their customers, from where they then pick them up. It is better to locate your office in residential areas - this is where it is most convenient for people to pick up their parcels. As a rule, the goods are delivered to your point by the “forces” of the partner and at his own expense.

In addition to the actual issuance, you can also offer the client the following services:

  • parcel packaging;
  • exchange and return of goods;
  • home delivery.

From this you will have additional profit, in addition to the percentage that the online store agrees to pay you.

All you need to implement this business idea is:

  • premises;
  • racks;
  • computer with internet;
  • cash machine.

On average, this will cost you 150,000 rubles. A good income for a beginner can be considered 30,000 rubles. The longer your location operates, the more you invest in advertising, the more profitable this business idea will be.

A nail bar is the most profitable option!

Modern business women are always busy, but despite this they manage to look great. In particular, express nail salons or nail bars, as they are also called, help them with this. They are usually located in large shopping centers and look like this: a manicurist sits at the bar and receives clients without an appointment. Such “islands” of beauty in the shopping center are very popular, because you never know when you will have a free moment... and even when it appears, the master does not always have the opportunity to receive you at that particular time. Therefore, nail bars have proven their worth and promise as a business idea over the past few years.

For almost a month now, 2016 has become another page in history. For some it was a stage of success, for others it was defeat, and still others were unable to decide on anything, and remained, as they say, “with their own people.” One way or another, we, the team of the “Own Business” blog, congratulate all our readers on the beginning of a new year, full of hopes for everyone, we wish that the coming year will definitely be better than the last, and that the business ideas of 2017 will meet all your expectations for you.


Modern business requires entrepreneurs to have constant control over their business, energetic activity, and search new ways development, implementation innovative technologies. This is the only way to stay afloat in this difficult time for all businesses. In today’s review, we will show you the best new business ideas of 2017, which, in our opinion, promise to reach the top 10 in terms of profit and demand. This includes popular business ideas in Europe, America (read the top 9 business ideas from the USA), and projects suitable exclusively for our country.

What business is relevant in 2017?

In the process of rapid changes in the world trading market and complex economic relations between countries, it is quite difficult to confidently predict which business ideas will take leading positions in the coming 2017. For this, it will not be enough even to conduct a thorough analysis of the target audience of market segments, knowledge of the investment opportunities of potential investors, and drawing up an ideal marketing strategy - everything is now too unpredictable.

Formation of new trends in various spheres of life, business, science, etc. forces businessmen interested in success to always be aware of all market opportunities. But in any case, when making a forecast, most experts use data for the outgoing year. We will do the same.

Business ideas 2017 with minimal investment

First of all, as always, we focus on the implementation of business ideas with minimal investment- today is the most actual topic in small and medium businesses. In 2016, questions about how to get a loan from a bank or from a private investor lost their relevance. But others have become important, for example, everything related to investments:

  • where to invest half a million rubles, one hundred thousand rubles, a million
  • and many other similar topics

But not everyone has financial opportunities for investment; most novice entrepreneurs are looking for opportunities to open their own business with minimal investment. And many business ideas of 2017 meet these criteria.

Vape bar

We were told so often from TV screens, magazine pages, and on Internet sites about the dangers of smoking that people finally believed it! But believing is one thing, giving up a bad habit is another. And therefore, electronic cigarettes replaced regular cigarettes.

Skipping discussions about the benefits or harms of this activity, let’s say that vape bars are the name of establishments where you can find “like-minded people” and calmly let off steam.” Vape bars replaced hookah bars, which were banned after the introduction of the law prohibiting smoking in public places, and are absolutely legal from a legal point of view.

Selling food in traffic jams

Almost every person living in a densely populated city knows firsthand what traffic jams in Russia actually look like. Standing in a traffic jam for just 1-15 minutes causes irritation, but it happens that the waiting time drags on for a much longer period.

Surely many car owners have irritably brushed aside offers from annoying grannies or unkemptly dressed teenagers scurrying between cars, trying to get run over, and offering pies and other pastries, hot tea and coffee in winter, drinks and ice cream in summer, etc. . It’s a completely different matter if the same assortment is offered by a young man (girl) in branded clothing with a mini-fridge in his hands. Actually, clothes and a refrigerator will account for all the necessary expenses for the implementation of this business idea.

Trading in traffic jams – current business 2017 is most suitable for implementation by young people - high school students, students, or people temporarily unemployed.

At first glance, an unprepossessing business idea, according to the street sellers themselves, up to 5-7 thousand rubles of net income. The range of products offered can be not only food, but also all kinds of car accessories - cheap Chinese fans (especially a popular product in the summer heat), car heaters - in winter, flash drives with audiobooks (if you're going to kill time in a traffic jam, then use it!), phone chargers, etc.

You can purchase products at wholesale warehouses, enter into contracts with stores, sell your own goods (pies, baked goods, etc.), involving your mother, grandmother, sister in your business, or order on AliExpress.

The only “gap” in the implementation of this business idea is its legal registration. Legalize street trading in traffic jams in accordance with Russian legislation it won't work out. Therefore, you will have to work at your own peril and risk. Although, in practice, the most that police officers do to traders in traffic jams is threaten them with punishment and drive them off the road.

Sale and delivery of environmentally friendly products

The huge demand for environmentally friendly products in recent times can only be compared to the sales of essential medicine during an epidemic. Numerous television reports and printed publications about violations in the production and sale of food products add fuel to the fire.

Organization of delivery service

Of course, everyone knows that everything new is well forgotten old. And therefore, the current business of 2017 has taken over best projects passing year. So, for example, the delivery service organization “roams” from our top best ideas for business for 3 years, each time acquiring new features.

Food delivery, building materials, medicines, etc. due to the general shortage of time, everyone uses in great demand. In 2017, the number of customers may increase sharply due to offline and online stores, which, often without their own deliveries, resort to the services of third-party organizations.

An undoubted advantage of implementing this project is that there is no need for a solid initial capital . You can start a business with an old car and doing delivery personally. You can even advertise your company at minimal cost. Methods are inexpensive and effective advertising can be found out .

Considering the main problem of Russian city roads (besides their condition, of course!) - traffic jams, it would not be out of place to buy a moped, scooter, or bicycle for greater mobility. This will advantageously distinguish the company from its competitors.

The most important thing is to remember that responsible execution of instructions will allow for the most short time significantly expand your business, which is confirmed by a clear example:

Opening of EMS fitness studio

EMS fitness studios appeared relatively recently. Previously, most fitness clubs used old, heavy and uncomfortable wired EMS (EMS) machines, which hindered movement during training and caused inconvenience.

In the summer of 2016, wireless EMS simulators for training and fitness appeared in Russia for the first time - such as. Over the past six months, more than 150 fitness studios have opened in Moscow alone. Based on this, you can see a big trend in the growing popularity of this type of business.

People who lead healthy image life, are concerned about the beauty and health of their body, now they pay attention primarily to EMS training. Exercises with EMS equipment are much more convenient and effective than regular exercises. The principle of EMS training is that you exercise in a special i-Motion suit for only 20 minutes, which is equivalent to 4 hours of intense training in the gym.

(depending on the city, prices vary). Up to 25 EMC workouts can be carried out per day, since underwear sets are provided for each client, and the suit has an antibacterial coating and does not require a long time for its maintenance between workouts different people.

The sphere of children's hairdressing services in the country is currently at the stage of development. Nevertheless, its popularity is growing every year, and in the future 2017 it promises to become one of the most promising directions small business. Those readers who have ever been to an ordinary hairdresser with a child will immediately understand that this project is simply doomed to success.

Business on the Internet in 2017, just like last year, attracts those who want to start their own business like a magnet. The secret of such attractiveness is simple: firstly, an Internet businessman is his own boss, and secondly, despite the need to have special knowledge For decent income on the Internet, “pushing buttons” on the keyboard - it’s not like you’re standing at a machine for 12 hours a day!

However, to each his own. And no one bothers the same “hard worker” at the machine to learn how to “poke buttons” wisely, master Photoshop, start creating websites, or something else like that. Although in currently the most profitable income in World Wide Web is considered to be the creation and sale of training courses.

Each of us is, if not a pro, or even a specialist, then at least good at something. Cross-stitch, plant indoor flowers, masterfully play the guitar or trombone, stand on your hands, read a book upside down, whatever!

To the person himself, his skill may seem insignificant, but in fact, thousands of people quite possibly want to master the same skill.

Home repair services

This business idea requires special knowledge and skills. However, having found out how much mobile application developers earn (up to 200 thousand rubles a month, and this is not the limit!), you can spend a year or two in parallel with your main job on studying.

If you think that this is impossible, think about the fact that you are simply too lazy to build your own in 2-3 years. own business, acquire some knowledge, but it’s not at all a burden to go to a boring job for 30-40 years! Did you like it? Then this is the place for you! Follow the link to find a complete description of the business idea for developing mobile applications.

It's no secret that the economic crisis primarily hit ordinary people. This shows not only the general decline in living standards, but also the increased popularity of pawnshops.

Everyone probably knows what a pawnshop is. Technically, implementing such a business idea is no more difficult than, say, opening a car service or tire repair shop. The only significant obstacle that may arise is the moral and ethical side of the issue, which everyone determines independently.

Gastronomic brand of the locality

Everyone knows what Tula gingerbread, Vologda butter, Leningrad ice cream, Smolensk grits, Kiev cutlet, Shchebekin pasta are. There are a lot of similar “goodies”, the names of which are “tied” to some locality.

However, we think that the essence of the idea has already become clear. Any locality in Russia, be it a large city or a small village, is famous for its culinary product. And if not, then it doesn’t matter. You can come up with such a dish. The most difficult thing remains - to “promote” it to food market countries. How to do this - read in one of our next publications, which we will definitely devote to this original business idea.

Popular business ideas for 2017 in a private home have a very wide range of different areas. But the most popular, as always, are those that require the least investment. Such ideas include the sale of homemade preparations - pickles, jams, marinades, etc.

Selling homemade products as an excellent help for retirement is suitable for retirees who have enough free time to care for the garden. The demand for such products is quite stable. Well, if the taste of the product does not disappoint, then we can assume that regular customers secured!

Fixed price store

Cheap is not always bad. This truth has been successfully confirmed over the years by the Fix Price chain stores, the lesser-known Zaodno, Odezhda 3000, and some others. Despite the fact that the shelves of these stores (to be honest!) are filled with outright Chinese consumer goods of the lowest quality, in these retail outlets there are always a lot of visitors, and daily revenue in cities with a population of 20 to 50 thousand people goes through the roof for 50 thousand rubles.

The range of such stores is extremely wide - from food and clothing to automotive goods and plumbing tools. Suppliers wholesalers from China. According to allegations Fix employees Price The average purchase price of goods sold in fixed-price stores in the Celestial Empire is 3.7-4.3 rubles.

Taking into account logistics costs, customs duties, VAT, and some other expenses, the cost of this product in Russia rises to 5.9-6.6 rubles. On store shelves fix price The bet is, for example, 50 rubles. The profitability is simply colossal!

The budget of the whole undertaking will not exceed the opening of a regular store with children's clothing, and the profit is many times greater. By the way, top American business ideas 2017 and business ideas from Europe 2017 also contains this project.

The idea to open your own own salon beauty has probably been considered by every woman who wants to start a business. There is no doubt about it - the business is very profitable and pays off, with proper business management, in literally 10-12 months.

But the pace of life modern society becomes so large that many women simply do not have time to go somewhere to get a manicure, hairstyle, anti-aging procedures, etc. Judge for yourself: in the morning you go to work, in the evening you go home, where you need to spend time with your family, relax, and... that’s it. And the next day - everything is all over again.

This direction is a new word in the opening of gyms in Russia, while in Europe and America EMS fitness is already quite widely developed. First, let's decipher what the abbreviation EMS means. From the English “electric mio stimulation” this literally translates as “electric myostimulation”. The word "myo" here is borrowed from the Greek language - "muscle". That is, the effect of electrical impulses on human muscles, which stimulates them, creating the effect of a full workout.

First of all, EMS fitness is aimed at those people who have little time to visit the gym. Unlike a 1.5-2 hour lesson in gym, a special training suit allows you to work out your muscles in 20-25 minutes with exactly the same effect! Always busy business people The EMS simulator will be appreciated.

Implementing such a business idea is not cheap. Not only will you have to organize a fitness club in its usual sense for the average person (you never know who will want to work out in the usual format), plus you will also have to buy an EMS suit, the price of which starts (as of January 2017) from 230 thousand rubles And such a suit will obviously not be needed in a single copy in a fitness studio. However, there is the option of renting such suits or paying for leasing.

The “passions” with the economic sanctions imposed against Russia are beginning to subside, the borders of all states are again open to our compatriots, but the real drop in income is forcing us to turn our attention from attractive foreign resorts deeper into the Russian expanses.

Over the past 2 years domestic tourism in the country has grown by as much as 35%! One can only imagine what an increase in profits the owners of hotels, mini-hostels, hotels, and other similar establishments received. The question of how to open a hostel - a budget mini-hotel - has become extremely relevant among entrepreneurs.

In terms of tourist attraction, you can choose almost any corner of our vast homeland - almost every locality has its own attractions, various conditions for relaxation and just a good time..html
