Cinder blocks. This production idea is good for those who live in the private sector. After all, all the tools can be stored in the yard or garage. What will you need? Concrete mixer, vibrating machine, construction wheelbarrow and shovel.

Equipment costs will be about 55-100 thousand rubles, depending on the quality of the tools. By producing several hundred units of products per day, you can earn good money (about 100-200 dollars).

Styrofoam. The size of the required room is about 150 square meters, the purchase of the necessary equipment will cost 1.5 million rubles. As for revenue, you can count on an annual profit of about 1 million 500 thousand rubles.

2. Breeding laying hens

Very cost effective and profitable production. For large-scale production of at least seven thousand chickens per year, an investment of 400-500 thousand rubles is required, and the business itself will pay off in 8-12 months.

The largest costs are for the purchase of cells and an incubator. For a very small-scale production of several dozen chickens, you will need about ten thousand rubles.

This is a great and easy business for a budding entrepreneur. Chickens are easy to care for and rarely get sick.

3. Casts and sculptures

Casts of children's hands and feet, compositions of lovers' hands, and small sculptures as gifts are very popular now. Their production can take from half an hour to several days, depending on the complexity, and the net profit of one unit of goods starts from 500 rubles.

If use molds for the most popular sculptures, then the profitability of the business increases several times.

4. Making cottage cheese

A very profitable option for a small business, especially if it is possible to sell products in large cities with good demand for home products. To produce from scratch you will need separate room and special equipment (electric pasteurizer, curd bath, etc.), the purchase of which will cost 1.5-2 million rubles, plus the cost of raw materials and preparation of the production facility.

We receive a minimum starting capital of 3 million rubles. However, the net profit with a monthly output of 13-16 tons will be about 200-300 thousand rubles, which means that investments in the business will pay off in 1.5-2 years.

5. Greenhouses

Greenhouse assembly – profitable option home business. The most commonly used materials are polycarbonate and wood.

For a small production, a few people are enough, and the cost of equipment is within 200 thousand rubles. The profitability of this business usually exceeds one hundred percent.

It will not be difficult for a novice entrepreneur to organize this business, since assembling greenhouses is a relatively simple process that anyone can master.

6. Production of bags

The production of packages will become a popular and, most importantly, profitable production from scratch. You can buy very simple equipment (about 400-450 thousand rubles), or assemble a full-fledged production line - already within the range of 1.3-1.5 million rubles.

Can be produced polyethylene, garbage, paper bags etc. Net profit with established sales reaches 150-200 thousand rubles per month.

7. Vegetable oil production

This is not the cheapest, but very profitable option. For production, a separate room with an area of at least one hundred square meters is required.

Capital investments in equipment, premises and personnel will amount to about 1.5-2 million rubles, and such a business will pay off in six months to a year.

8. Nail production

There is a lot of competition in this segment, but the profitability of the business is also very high. And most importantly, the costs of opening such a mini-production are small: from 100 to 500 thousand rubles. You can even place production in an ordinary garage.

Such a business will pay for itself in about a year, or even less. For stable profit it is necessary to produce about three tons of nails per month.

9. Pellet production

It is best to set up such production near a sawmill. Capital investments for such a business are about 1-2.5 million rubles (equipment, premises and raw materials), but such a business pays off within eight months, and its profitability exceeds one hundred percent.

10. Production of dumplings

Focusing on, albeit small, but still industrial production, we take into account that it requires a room of about 100 square meters. m. Lines for the production of dumplings are relatively inexpensive.

The price of equipment starts from 80 thousand rubles. The total initial costs, depending on the scale of production, will be 1-3 million rubles. The business will pay for itself in approximately a year with income 250 thousand rubles per month.

And this is not all for beginners. In each region and locality you can find your own, underoccupied and profitable niche to open a mini-production. We wish you successful and good business!

Small business ideas in manufacturing

Business in the production sector practically guarantees the entrepreneur high profits and stable income. Even despite large capital investments, production was and remains the most promising activity. In this section you will find the most profitable ideas production for small businesses and find out what home business in the field of production you can start as a beginner.

When six years ago I was looking for investors to open a business producing medical devices, many successful entrepreneurs looked at me in surprise: “Do you really want to open production in Russia? Look, everyone is bringing masks and shoe covers from abroad, this is a profitable and reliable business model. In Russia it is impossible to produce in principle, and it is even more impossible to produce high-quality products. Our country is simply not suited for this, neither from the point of view of legislation, nor from the point of view of the business climate.”

Manufacturing in Russia is an ocean of opportunities! Why did everyone rush into trading in the 1990s and 2000s? Because the market then was relatively free, there was a minimum of competition, and there was a sea of opportunities. This is how it is in production now: a huge number of free or low-competition niches. Go to a non-grocery store (sports or children's), go up to the counter and look: where is this or that product produced? You will find many types of products that are not yet produced in Russia. And even those products that say “made in Russia” are often not entirely domestic. Ask where the manufacturer purchases components for it, and you will see that most of them are made abroad. This entire range is an opportunity to launch your own successful small production.

Another common concern for beginning manufacturers is the lack of a suitable, preferably engineering, education. “I have never produced anything, never worked in production, and at home I can’t even hammer a nail. The plant is definitely not for me!” - this is what many people think, including successful managers and entrepreneurs working in the trade or services sector. It seems to them that selling a finished product is much cheaper than producing it. About seven years ago, I myself was thinking in approximately the same vein. Then I was a manager in a large Russian dealer company, which introduced a wide range of products to the country's market under its own trademarks, placing orders strictly with enterprises in Egypt and Asia.

Now I understand that those who have trading experience behind them gain a competitive advantage over other entrepreneurs. You reason: “Selling is not a problem, the main thing is to produce.” Manufacturers answer: “Producing is not a problem, it’s difficult to sell!” This is the paradox: people who know how to sell believe that manufacturing is not for them, and many talented engineers do not know how to sell.

I often communicate with many owners and directors of small industries organized in the 1990s and 2000s. Most of them are people who have received technical education, talented engineers and managers, but for many, the sale of the created product has remained something unknown, a very difficult to understand process.

Production and sales

If you know how to sell, this is already half the success of your production.

What does it mean to sell in production? Firstly, be able to understand what product, what quality and at what price will be in demand by one or another consumer. Secondly, be able to build the entire sales chain, motivate and negotiate with each link in this chain. Thirdly, these are developed competencies: conducting successful negotiations, effective presentation own product, rich argumentative base.

My advice: before opening your own production, get a job in a trading company, work there as a sales manager or sales representative, master the skills of successful sales and effective management sellers.

Ideally, you should immediately choose a direction of trade that is similar to the future sphere of production. Such work experience will help you understand how the sales and promotion system works, how processes work from the inside, especially in terms of pricing and promotion. This tip is especially important for techies.

And experienced salespeople can only be advised not to be afraid and open their own production facilities. When you go to a car dealership to buy a car, you don’t think about how you will choose new car, if you do not have a technical education. You will be surprised, but most managers from car dealerships really do not have a technical education. The same is true when searching for and choosing an idea for your production.

Let's say you've chosen a product and want to know how to produce it. There is no need to immediately run to technological Talmuds and scrupulously study all marketing research. An easier and more effective way is to directly contact the equipment suppliers for your product. Believe me, they know about your product first-hand, and in order to successfully sell you their equipment, they will tell you not only about the characteristics, but also about all the production details.

Try to establish a dialogue with several companies at once different levels from different countries. After some time, you will realize that you know almost everything about the future product and production cycle.

Another reliable source obtaining information are competing companies. Many of them are ready to produce a product under your private label. Contact them and ask for the conditions for placement under a private label. They will be happy to tell you in detail about the product, its options, and types of packaging. All this will help you communicate more substantively with equipment manufacturers.

By placing orders under your own brand with existing contractors, you can painlessly enter the market, get to know customers, generate initial demand, and increase sales volume. And only after that, provided there is a stable economy, you can invest in purchasing your own equipment. Of course, this option will take more time, but it will allow you to seriously diversify risks.

An approximate algorithm of actions when opening your own production

We choose a product.
We find manufacturers under private label. We communicate with them.
We find equipment manufacturers for the production of the selected product (the more, the better). We find out how to produce, what components and raw materials are needed, what the cost of the equipment is. We count and see if we have the required money supply, or we calculate where we can get this money from. If optimal options no, then choose another product or its component. Often it is among the components that you can find a small niche, poorly covered by production in Russia. This is just a chance to find a less competitive market and create a product that may not require too much money to produce.
We find suppliers of components and raw materials.
We count everything. We draw up a business plan.
If we don’t have enough money of our own, we go with this business plan to an investor. This is exactly what I did six years ago and received 100% funding for the project based on the developed business plan.
There is a business plan, there are investments - we proceed to the most exciting stage, we spend investment money according to the developed and approved business plan. We are launching our production!
And the main stage: we bring production to breakeven and profitability.
Next, we increase and increase production, our business, and profits. We are starting to grow from small to medium-sized production, and then, perhaps, it will be a stone’s throw to large production.

Today, many are reconsidering their attitude towards production in Russia. Many trading companies started placing orders with Russian manufacturers, some open their own factories. Profitability in trading is rapidly falling due to increased competition and narrowing demand. Many investors I spoke with seven years ago who were skeptical about manufacturing business in Russia, today they have changed their minds, and some of them are hatching or are already implementing their own production projects.

Small manufacturing enterprise is a reliable business that will provide not only for you, but also for your children and grandchildren. And, of course, production is an opportunity for professional and personal growth.

Many entrepreneurs are already beginning to remember with some “longing” the time of a year ago. When there were no sanctions, no crisis. Small businesses had just managed to “recover” from the tax increase in 2013, which, by the way, forced many individual entrepreneurs to close, when suddenly political turmoil struck like a bolt from the blue. However, if you consider them as a test of strength that will benefit your business, then everything is not so scary.

2014 made absolutely everyone who has any kind of business “worry”, forced them to change their approaches to business, reconsider their views, and internally prepare for even greater challenges. The main changes, of course, have occurred in the foreign exchange markets, online business, and trading. Demand for some goods has dropped by almost half, and many businesses have had to either close or change their focus. But it became clear that many industries in small and medium-sized businesses would strengthen their positions, and that it was profitable to produce and sell their own products, rather than engage in resale.

It is this circumstance that literally “shocks” many owners. retail outlets. After all, in order to establish your production you need to make a lot more effort, invest more money than when trading. However, in any business there are a lot of positive points, but also negative aspects.

For example, a huge plus nowadays is that any domestic production should receive support from the state. I would like to believe that all this will not be in words, but in deeds. Whether this is so is for you to check. We have already written about what is better to trade during a crisis, now we will look at what is profitable to produce.

For whom to produce?

To begin with, it is worth deciding for which segments of the population you will produce your products. The lessons of history cannot be neglected, and they show us that the more difficult the situation in the country, the wider the “gap” between different social categories of citizens. But the “elite” of society does not disdain domestic goods, and its “poor” part gives greater preference.

Therefore, decide for yourself, taking into account your capabilities, connections, and goals, whether you will produce economy-class goods or produce expensive products.

As we have repeatedly said in our previous publications, and today we will repeat again: the most profitable business, which will “stand” under any political and economic situation in the country, changes in tax legislation, etc. – this is the production of essential goods, that is, those that the population cannot do without in any situation. Let's look at some of the main types of things that are profitable to produce.

Products

It’s trite to say this, but everyone always wants to eat. Therefore, the products will be in demand in any case. Moreover, the products included in the minimum consumer basket: eggs, milk, bread (see “How to open a bakery from scratch”), meat (see “Raising pigs”, “Raising sheep at home”, “Raising rabbits”), fish ( see “How to rent a pond”), some types of vegetables and fruits, oil (“Production of sunflower oil”), etc. This is a huge “field” for the owner of future production. Even more competition in Food Industry will not prevent anyone who wants to open their own business in this area:

Firstly, any product will find its buyer .
Secondly, increasingly consumers began to give preference to natural products , produced/grown on our own farm. To organize such a farm you don’t need any extra investments, the main thing is desire.

Cloth

So, our consumer has eaten, now he needs to put on something. In the conditions of crisis and austerity, which many families in Russia have switched to, branded items have faded into the background, giving way to domestic manufacturers. At this time, it will undoubtedly be very current idea opening his own sewing studio, engaged in both tailoring clothes to order and repairing them.

"Spoiled" for a few recent years with a wide range of goods for the consumer, it will be quite difficult to abandon the already established habit of comfort. Whatever you say, the welfare of citizens has increased significantly over the past ten years. Many people have access to buying real estate, good furniture, traveling abroad, etc. Now you can afford the same furniture with caution.

In this regard, custom-made furniture, or economical versions of cabinet furniture made from fiberboard, chipboard, etc., have become popular. Open a small workshop for the production of such furniture, and not “rack your brains” about what is profitable to produce for a man, whose hands "grow from the right place“It won’t be difficult. The idea of making wicker furniture may also be interesting, which you can find out about by clicking on the link.

Another type of business that will always be in demand is the production of goods for funerals:

coffins
crosses
fence
benches and benches
wreaths

Until scientists discover the secret of immortality, the ritual business will always be in trend. Organizing the production of ritual goods is not at all difficult, especially if you have a reliable business plan, the writing of which you can order on this website.

Services sector

It is also impossible not to mention some types of services, which, given the general economic tension, are only “gaining momentum.” These include the services of a “husband for an hour”, engaged in minor home repairs, and providing other services that require male strength, or skills and abilities. You can find out more about this.

Finally

Before asking yourself the question “what is profitable to produce”, ask yourself whether you can handle this business. Do you have enough motivation, drive, a solid goal, and an action plan to achieve it? After all, this is perhaps the main thing you need to organize your business. Money, necessary contacts, and so on are also, of course, important, but secondary.

Business involving participation in trade chains “we buy imported goods and sell to our compatriots” ceases to be profitable. There are many reasons for this, from geopolitical to economic. For Russian production of any scale today the green light is on. 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, sell at home. Low competition and huge opportunities for choice ensured high profitability of projects.

The crisis, sanctions, high dollar and weak ruble dictate new rules of the game: competition in trade and services increases, demand narrows, and profitability falls. The most significant decrease in revenue for the 1st half of 2015 was recorded in wholesale and retail trade, in cargo transportation. For small businesses, the time has come to adapt to market changes: today the trend is production and implementation of innovative projects. This is where there are many free/low-competition niches. Let's figure out what is profitable for small businesses to produce in Russia now.

Production prospects: where to look for profit

Today, imported products are available in any Russian stores: food, sports, children's, household, electrical and other goods. Often, the “made in Russia” label hides a product assembled from foreign components. A small business can launch a successful production of any of these products. The main thing is to identify which product, what quality and price will be in demand.

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

What are Russians willing to spend on?

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

What is profitable to produce during a crisis by industry?

1 Furniture: junkyard chic

Italian cuisines become an unaffordable luxury for many. It's time to offer our compatriots quality eco-friendly furniture Russian production. 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 to produce, competitive in price;
fresh and original, using design solutions;
environmentally friendly, using recycling ideas.

Furniture made from pallets (wooden construction pallets) meets these requirements. It can be a country house, garden, intended for offices and creating residential interiors in country, loft or industrial style. In this case, it is not necessary to disassemble the pallets; they are used as modules, constructing original models. The secret is in proper processing. Pallets are a cheap and rewarding “construction” material.

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

2 Pet products: 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 USA and China. What is it profitable for small businesses to produce in Russia for their smaller brothers?

The Russian animal feed market is growing despite the crisis. In the most profitable segment of the market - 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 skimp on pets even when they themselves have nothing to eat. In reality, people switch their animals to economy-class feed, preferring the healthiest ones. available options.

Healthy food for cats and dogs - minced meat and bones with vitamin and mineral supplements. Such food is used by specialized nurseries and is sought after by knowledgeable cat and dog owners. The production of “natural cutlets” for animals in Russia is carried out by a few small producers. The niche is not very competitive.

To produce natural food for cats and dogs, you do not need an expensive production line; everything can be organized in a minimal area with small investments.

To launch a full production cycle you will need the following equipment:

cutting table for meat products;
meat grinder and minced meat mixer;
molding machine/scales;
blast freezing machine and “hot” table for packaging;
freezer.

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

3 Construction and finishing materials: money out of thin air

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

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

rubber tiles/ paving stones;
coverings for sports grounds and fitness rooms;
wall finishing materials;
innovative road surfaces;
accessories for cars (mats, mud flaps, etc.).

The cost of technological lines for “grinding” tires into rubber crumb depends on productivity, the degree of automation of the process, the quality and size of the output fraction. But in general, we're talking about 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 high added value, i.e. crumb rubber issue tiles and coverings. The last two products are cold or hot molded from crumbs, polyurethane glue and dye. The cost of equipment starts from 2 million rubles.

The payback period for a mini-plant for the production of rubber tiles is from 6 months. The indicator is excellent, but the investment required to start will be significant. There is a more economical entry option: many manufacturers (EcoStep, Masterfiber, etc.) offer to start a franchise business. From 500 thousand rubles.

4 Tourism goods: my native country is wide

Growth of major world currencies and appreciation of prices work force 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 increase. What should a startup focus on?

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

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

The production of backpacks, ventilated caps/hats, windproof caps, gloves, “encephalitis”, thermal underwear, sweaters is a profitable business. You can choose completely narrow niche and start production mobile baths or thermal bag.

It is not necessary to develop innovative boating raincoats or 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 there is a free niche? Comparing our popular Swedish plastic autoboxes of the Thule brand with analogues is the same as pitting a Rolex against a regular watch. The Thule buyer primarily pays for style and branding. Moreover, from a production point of view, luggage boxes are the simplest products. Thule prices in Europe range from $400-970. The price is not humane at the current dollar exchange rate already at the place of production, in Russian retail stores turns into something completely amazing: premium solutions cost 60,000 - 100,000 rubles.

The average price segment of the car box market in Russia (10,000 - 20,000 rubles) is now under the radar of Polish, Czech, Italian and Chinese manufacturers. Special attention products from the Middle Kingdom deserve: they are widely represented, but the quality is objectively low. Time to make car racks in Russia. Domestic manufacturers boxes for cars exist as a class, but are counted on one hand (brands ATLANT, VetlaN, LUX). Moreover, some have a meager assortment, others specialize in “luggage systems made from European components” (read: depend on exchange rate fluctuations), and still others have poor quality.

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

To do this you will need:

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

Soft car boxes made of polyester, PVC and other plastic polymers are cheaper to produce. But this is already clothing industry and a completely different story.
