Features of starting a business in the manufacturing sector

Opening even a small production requires elaboration of the concept and main points. Before starting you need:

• register business activities;
• analyze the market, sales channels;
• select a suitable room for placing the equipment;
• draw up a list of equipment and find equipment suppliers;
• hire, if necessary, employees with professional experience in the selected production field, or provide training opportunities;
• work out technological aspects of production;
• find suppliers of materials and raw materials;
• work out the sales and delivery of finished products;
• evaluate the financial component of the business in terms of initial investments and possible income.

Let's consider the ideas of mini-productions in more detail in the context of the features of running a manufacturing business.

Yarn production

Handmade yarn is especially valued by craftswomen for its healing properties and quality, which is lost during production on an industrial scale. This affects the price of handmade yarn, which you can take advantage of to organize your own business.

Such an idea requires perseverance and creativity. After all, the wool will have to be sorted, cleaned of dirt and coarse hair - and all this by hand. Equipment you will need to purchase:

• carding machine;
• spinning wheel;
• electric spinning wheel;
• winding machine.

You will also need consumables in the form of cotton thread, sheep wool or goat down. In total, the initial investment will be about 73,000 rubles.

From 10 kg of wool worth 4,000 rubles. comes out up to 150 pcs. 15-gram balls, which can be sold for 35 rubles. per piece Goat yarn is sold at a higher price - a ball costs up to 190 rubles. From 10 kg of fluff, which sells for 16,000 rubles, you can wind up to 200 such balls.

That is, you can actually earn 1,250 rubles from a batch of wool, and up to 22,000 rubles from forcing angora. The net profit from processing 20 kg of raw materials will be up to 23,000-25,000 rubles.

Actual profit depends on the volume of raw materials processed, the quality of the finished product and marketing. The material will have to be purchased from private traders, so when choosing, you need to pay attention to its quality, the presence of debris and impurities.

You can sell yarn via the Internet, or by renting a shelf in stores for craftswomen.

To expand your own business, you can start producing dyed yarn or making knitted items from your own threads.

Production of fruit chips

Beginning businessmen will like this idea because of its low barrier to entry and lack of competition.

But potential buyers also include children and youth.

The technology for producing fruit chips consists of cutting, drying and packaging the finished product. The main thing is to clarify the temperature conditions, which at first will have to be selected not only for each fruit, but also for the variety.

Main costs - purchase of equipment:

• slicing machines;
• electric dryers;
• packaging machine;
• kitchen equipment.

In total, investments will amount to 80,000 rubles.

Production relates to food production, so the premises must meet sanitary requirements.

It will cost approximately 200 rubles to produce 1 kg of chips. A 200 g portion, packed in a paper bag, can be sold for 150 rubles. Earnings per 1 kg will be 550 rubles. In a month, without hiring employees, you can produce up to 100 kg of goods, which will bring a profit of 55,000 rubles.

Making wicker furniture

You can realize your creative ideas and make good money from it by opening a workshop for the production of wicker furniture. From natural vine or willow branches, as a popular ecological material, you can make dining sets, country furniture, baskets, decorative figurines, flower and fruit stands, chests of drawers and shelves, armchairs and baby cradles.

The main problem for bringing such an idea to life is the search for raw materials. You can not only buy raw materials, but also prepare them yourself, which will significantly reduce costs.

The initial investment does not exceed 100,000 rubles. and includes the cost of purchasing tools and a drying chamber. In summer, raw materials can be dried under natural conditions.

Such production can be located in an ordinary garage, but it is better to provide places for drying, varnishing and the actual production of furniture. Additionally, you will need space for storing raw materials and finished goods.

The business of producing wicker furniture is highly profitable. The cost of a standard chair is 1,000 rubles, but such a product can be sold for 2,000-3,000 rubles.

Production of detox juices

You can make good money from people's desire for a healthy lifestyle.

You can even start making freshly squeezed juices in your own kitchen, if it meets the requirements for food production facilities.

To start a business you will need:

• Auger juicer;
• refrigerator for storing raw materials and finished juices;
• portable refrigerator for delivery of ready-made juices;
• kitchen items and tools.

Ready-made vegetable or fruit juice is packaged in small bottles of 250 or 500 g.

In total, start-up costs without renting premises will not exceed 115,000 rubles. The income from selling 500 bottles per month will be 80,000 rubles.

A significant drawback is that fresh juices cannot be stored for longer than 3 days. Therefore, you will have to work out sales channels and an advertising campaign. You can cooperate with beauty salons, fitness centers, and coupon sites. The key tool for advertising and sales will be a website, social networks and a small online store.

At first, you can do it on your own, but as your business expands, you will have to think about renting a small workshop and hiring employees. You can expand the boundaries of your business by increasing the range or geographic boundaries of sales.

Paper bags

Another environmentally friendly way to make money. Paper packaging is in demand among manufacturers of fast food, baked goods, bulk products, sellers of gifts, alcoholic beverages, and branded items. However, you will have to use your wits to win the fight against “plastic bags.”

You can start an interesting business with manual assembly. In this case, investments will be minimal.

You can buy package blanks and carry out your own step-by-step assembly, including:

• gluing the seal under the handles;
• longitudinal gluing;
• formation of sidewalls and top of the package;
• making a bottom with a seal;
• firmware for handles;
• insertion of rope handles.

Production will require cutters, manual bending devices, racks for storing blanks and finished products, and long tables. In total, you need to spend up to 50 thousand rubles on the purchase of equipment. The purchase of the first batch of blanks will cost up to 100 thousand rubles. Costs can be reduced if you purchase paper in rolls rather than blank bags. Consumables include thread, tape, rope, glue.

The cost of 1 package measuring 300x400 mm is 25 rubles. You can sell such a product from 40 rubles. It is realistic to manually produce up to 3,000 such bags per month. This will bring a profit of up to 45,000 rubles. But real income depends on the volume of products sold.

Packaging of spices

Making spices is not such a simple matter. It is necessary not only to understand the taste characteristics, but also to take into account the compatibility of seasonings.

At first, you can limit yourself to packaging ready-made spices in bags or glass containers. To do this, it will be enough to find a dry room and purchase a packaging unit, which can be purchased from 150,000 rubles. True, some novice entrepreneurs start their business with manual packaging, which significantly affects productivity.

In the future, you will still have to attract a technologist who will create unique recipes. In this direction, it is important not only to work out sales, but also to find suppliers of quality raw materials. If you do not rely on supplies of raw materials from China, but buy, for example, Russian herbs, it is profitable to locate production in the southern regions.

Profit from such production depends on the type of seasonings produced: homogeneous, multi-component, raw, dry, liquid. But on average, the profitability with active advertising reaches 70%.

Manufacturing of 3D orthopedic insoles

The use of innovative technologies allows us to model orthopedic insoles taking into account the individual characteristics of the client’s foot shape. To open such a business you will need:

1. Find a suitable room, make repairs if necessary, purchase furniture.
2. Register business activities and obtain a license.
3. Buy equipment (3D printer) and raw materials (thermoplastic).

In total, investments will amount to 180 thousand rubles. without the cost of preparing the premises.

On average, making one orthopedic insole takes 30 seconds, and you can sell it for 4-5 thousand rubles. Such production, with proper advertising, can bring income up to 300-400 thousand rubles. per month. Additionally, you can earn money by correcting ready-made insoles and consulting an orthopedic doctor. In the future, it is easy to expand the business by starting the production of 3D shoes.

Tailoring of workwear

Working clothes for personnel are constantly purchased not only by industrial enterprises, but also by hotels, restaurants, and private medical centers.

To implement such an idea, you will have to find a suitable room to house the studio with heating. The location does not matter, so you can save on rent by placing a mini-workshop in a residential area.

You will have to spend money on purchasing sewing equipment and purchasing fabrics and accessories. In total, the costs will be from 200,000 rubles. It is important to select qualified personnel, since the quality of sewing will become a good advertisement in the future.

A huge advantage of this type of business is volume orders. Therefore, you can count on your first profit after completing your first order. The actual payback period will depend on sales volumes, but is usually up to six months. In the future, it is possible to expand production by sewing school and sports uniforms.

Production of solar collectors

Alternative energy sources are a promising direction. The niche for the production of solar collectors in Russia is practically unoccupied, and demand will only grow over time. Such environmentally friendly batteries are in demand for heating residential buildings, small industrial premises, greenhouses, workshops, and heating water in swimming pools.

It is profitable to organize self-assembly of collectors in your own garage or rented small space of up to 80 square meters. m. You will have to invest in the purchase of construction tools and consumables, renting premises, which in total will not exceed 300,000 rubles. The actual amount depends on the volume of consumables purchased.

The cost of one collector is 31,000 rubles. You can reduce the initial investment if you work on an advance payment basis. But buying consumables: cellular polycarbonate, water pipes, fittings, plugs, paint, rubber hoses is still more profitable in bulk.

Profit depends on the markup and completed orders. If you install 1 collector every day, you can realistically earn up to 300 thousand rubles per month.

To install solar collectors, you will have to hire an assistant - doing such work yourself is inconvenient and ineffective. A hired employee can initially be involved in the assembly of finished products, which, when expanding production, will eliminate the need to hire additional workers and train them.

Don't forget about the seasonality of orders. In winter, you will have to mostly work “idle”, that is, make preparations for future orders.

Luminous facade stone

Lumobeton is an original finishing material that glows in the dark. Used for finishing external and internal surfaces.

The technology for producing artificial stone is quite simple; even a novice entrepreneur can master it.

You can get acquainted with the nuances of the technology in the video:

The stone is made from a mixture of quartz sand, gypsum, cement, dye and the component itself that gives the stone a glow.

For production you will have to purchase:

• vibrating table.
• mortar mixer;
• molds for pouring stone.

In total, you will have to spend 100 thousand rubles on the purchase of equipment and technology, and 270 thousand rubles on consumables. You can sell such a stone for 1,000-2,000 rubles. for 1 sq. m. From every 10 sq. m of sold products you can actually earn about 10 thousand rubles.

It is important to take into account when choosing a room for organizing production that the stone is dried at a temperature of +30˚C, and water is needed to make the solution.

Well, you're ready - then let's get started!🙂

1. Which manufacturing business idea should you choose?

Despite the seemingly established competition in all industries, finding and occupying your niche in the market is more than possible! I will say more, from personal experience I have been convinced more than once that some niches in a particular city/region can be practically free from competition - all that remains is to occupy them and make a profit!😀

So, in fact, opening your own profitable manufacturing business turns out to be not as difficult as you might imagine; the main thing is to approach this matter responsibly and choose a business idea that suits your capabilities and interests, which would be in demand among the population.

Below in the article we have provided a list of the most popular production ideas for small businesses. To make it more convenient for you to decide on a particular business, each idea will be considered based on the following criteria:

• initial investment;
• required equipment/materials/room…;
• average profitability;
• payback;
• demand for products;
• complexity of production.

If you have a small initial capital, then first of all pay attention to simple business ideas that you can implement at home/in an apartment/garage (there are quite a few of them listed in the article).

In addition, before bringing a business idea to life, analyze the market, purchasing power and competition in your city or region.

A few words should be said separately about competition. Of course, the easiest way to start production is in an area where there is little or no competition. Such niches can be found in almost every city. But in this situation, it is important to understand that in some of them the demand for products may be narrow or limited.

As for high competition, there is no need to be afraid of it - if it exists, then this indicates, first of all, that this product is in great demand among the population. This means that if you position yourself correctly, you can always take your place in the market.

❗️ Advice from personal experience:
Do not invest a lot of money into production right away, especially if you are not sure that the business will take off. Start small, and once you are sure that the goods you produce are in good demand, expand production.

Please also keep in mind that product sales plays a key role in production, so you need to pay special attention!

But let’s not digress too much from the topic of this article - you can read more about the proper organization of sales and other important principles for building a successful business that will save you a lot of money and time towards the end of the article.

Well, now, finally, let's move on to the review of business ideas! 👇

2. Business ideas for production for small businesses - 37 relevant and popular ideas

Below you can find a huge number of low-budget ideas and even those that can be implemented practically from scratch! Some of the business ideas for production are suitable not only for men, but also for women.

Idea No. 1 - Production of decorative artificial stone

ATTACHMENTS: ≈ from 30,000 - 100,000 rubles.

DESCRIPTION OF THE IDEA: Artificial stone is widely used as decoration both indoors (for cladding walls, shelves) and outside (for foundations, facades...).

This is a fairly profitable business, and most importantly, in demand among the population - on average, the demand for decorative stone is growing by 10% annually.

Here it is important, as in any production, to first of all organize the sale of products. For example, regular cooperation with finishers often makes it possible to organize constant sales of artificial stone. In addition, it is worth establishing wholesale supplies to companies that sell building materials.

Additional income can come from finishing and stone delivery services (or recommendations from those who provide such services).

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

• matrix forms;
• cement and sand (or gypsum);
• pigments (dyes) and other additives;
• room on average from 30-70 sq. meters (possible at home/dacha);
• vibrating table (relevant for mass production of stone).

The technology for producing artificial stone is quite simple: a solution is prepared from cement and sand (gypsum), poured into molds and hardened. Coloring can be done either after the stone has hardened, or when preparing a solution by adding powder pigments to it.

Gypsum stone is mainly used for interior work, and concrete stone is used for façade finishing. However, it has been noticed that the demand for concrete stone is significantly higher than for gypsum stone.

Cost of 1 sq. m of such stone usually does not exceed 200-250 rubles, the market value is on average 500-700 rub. per sq. meter .

Idea No. 2 - Making paving slabs

ATTACHMENTS: ≈ from 80,000 - 150,000 rub.

DESCRIPTION OF THE IDEA: Another idea, similar in many ways to the previous one, is the production of paving slabs.

This type of business is in great demand, as demand from individuals and the state is only growing over time. However, competition in this niche is usually above average.

But with the right positioning, you can always take your place in the market. For example, in small towns, budget paving slabs are very popular; therefore, in the absence of local manufacturers, such a business can bring significant profits. It is also possible to produce luminous paving slabs, which are now only gaining popularity.

It is worth adding that tile production is a relatively low-cost business and it is quite easy to organize even right at home.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

• molds (from 20-35 rub. 1 pc.);
• vibrating tables (about 25 thousand rubles);
• room 50-80 sq. m.;
• cement, sand and crushed stone;
• pigments and mineral additives
• phosphor (for glowing tiles).

To organize the production of paving slabs, as a rule, 2-3 people will be enough. The production process is quite labor-intensive.

💡 The cost of producing a square meter of tiles averages 150-240 rubles with a wholesale price of 350-400 rubles. Even a small production - about 300 sq. meters per month brings clean 35-50 thousand rubles .

By the way, another advantage of this business is that it is not subject to certification and licensing!

Idea No. 3 - Making construction cinder blocks

ATTACHMENTS: ≈ from 50,000 - 90,000 rub.

IDEA DESCRIPTION:

Making cinder blocks is a very profitable business! Since the cost of slag blocks is low compared to brick, gas and foam blocks (one block replaces six bricks), they are widely in demand in construction for the construction of walls and foundations.

It is not difficult to organize this production with small investments and at home.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

• machine for making cinder blocks,
• cement and additives (plasticizers),
• building materials (slag, sand).

You will also need a warehouse for storing blocks and a production facility with a size of 40 sq. m. meters.

❗️ The cost of one cinder block is approximately 14-18 rubles, and its selling price is 24-26 rubles.

A team of two to three people per shift can usually produce up to 800 pieces, As a result, with such a turnover it is possible to make a profit Ot 3-5 t. rub .

Products can be sold wholesale to construction and trading companies, and retail to individuals. Cooperation with construction teams can also bring good sales volumes!

Idea No. 4 – Making modular paintings

IDEA DESCRIPTION:

Recently, modular paintings, which are several paintings united by one theme, have become in great demand. Thanks to their originality, they easily allow you to decorate the interior and create a pleasant atmosphere in the room.

• Personal Computer;
• fabric and stretchers;
• premises from 40 sq. m.

❗️ Retail prices for modular paintings start at 3,500 rubles per 1 sq. m. meter, the production cost on average does not exceed 1,500 rubles. For monthly sales 100 sq. m. profit will be from 150,000 rubles !

Idea No. 5 – Production of furniture without a frame

INVESTMENTS: ≈ from RUB 10,000.

IDEA DESCRIPTION:

The production of frameless upholstered furniture (bin run) is a relatively new and unique business. Its main difference is that production requires mainly only material (fabric) and loose filler, which takes the shape of the body of a sitting person.

The most popular types of frameless furniture are soft ottomans and armchairs (bags), as well as sofas. You can organize the production of upholstered furniture directly in your apartment or at home.

The main potential buyers are young families with children with an average income. It is worth noting that due to its originality and low cost, such furniture sells especially well online.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

• sewing machine,
• threads, material, filler.

In addition, you will need to thoroughly think through the design of future furniture (and be sure to analyze your competitors).

Idea No. 6 – Making frame furniture

ATTACHMENTS: ≈ from 70,000 - 200,000 rub.

IDEA DESCRIPTION:

Frame furniture is a huge market with tons of business opportunities.

Furniture production can be divided into 2 types. The first is the manufacture and assembly of furniture from start to finish - such production requires expensive equipment and correspondingly high costs.

The production of custom-made furniture is becoming especially popular (such production does not require large initial investments and is much easier to organize).

Its essence is that you find clients, discuss all the details and nuances, take an advance payment, purchase all the necessary ready-made materials and assemble furniture to individual sizes.

In this business, it is especially important to value the client and do your work conscientiously, since most orders come precisely according to “ word of mouth«.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

• computer and printer,
• drill and other tools (screwdrivers, drills, hammers...),
• Consumables,
• room from 20-30 sq. m for furniture assembly.

You can purchase the necessary materials and accessories using an advance payment that you receive from the client. It also makes sense to rent a small office of 15-25 sq. m. m to take orders from customers.

Such a business is very profitable and with minimal investment can pay for itself in just 1-3 months.

Idea No. 7 - Making bio-fireplaces

INVESTMENTS: ≈ from RUB 20,000.

IDEA DESCRIPTION:

A relatively new and promising business idea in the manufacturing sector is the production of environmentally friendly fireplaces. Such biofireplaces do not require a chimney, since the carbon dioxide that is released during the combustion of biofuel is completely safe for people.

The advantages of this business idea are that, on the one hand, there are very small investments for its implementation, and on the other hand, it can bring very significant profits and recoup all investments within 1 month.

At the same time, all production can be organized independently at home or in the garage.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

• glass cutting tools or equipment;
• consumables: glass, stainless steel, sealants, biofuel (bioethanol)…

❗️The cost of producing one biofireplace is on average 2500-3000 rubles. The market price of the finished product exceeds 14,000 rubles(in online stores they are sold even more expensive - from 20 to 50 thousand rubles).

Thus, by producing only 20 fireplaces, you can reach a net monthly profit 170-190 thousand rubles excluding all basic and additional expenses.

Idea No. 8 - Manufacturing of country greenhouses and hotbeds

ATTACHMENTS: ≈ from 60,000 - 100,000 rubles.

IDEA DESCRIPTION:

Polycarbonate greenhouses, due to their durability and low cost, are one of the most popular at the moment. With all this, they are quite simple to manufacture.

Although this business is seasonal, it is nevertheless very profitable (over 100%) and has a quick payback. Thus, the greatest demand for greenhouses occurs in spring and late autumn.

In addition to the production of greenhouses, you can additionally provide services for pouring the foundation and installing greenhouses - this will allow you to recoup your investment even faster.

This idea is also great for small cities with a population of 20 thousand or more.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

• equipment for the production of greenhouses: pipe bending, welding... (from 40-50 thousand rubles)
• cellular polycarbonate.

In addition, you will need to take care of marketing your products: advertise in newspapers, bulletin boards... At the very beginning of a business, it also makes sense to reduce prices in order to attract customers.

Idea No. 9 – Making gazebos from wood

INVESTMENTS: ≈ from RUB 35,000.

IDEA DESCRIPTION:

Perhaps not a single summer cottage is complete without gazebos and garden houses where you can sit quietly and relax. That is why the production of garden houses and gazebos is a relevant and fast-paying business.

Another significant advantage of this idea is the low entry threshold into this business. And besides, depending on your capabilities, experience and preferences, you can choose for yourself: to make gazebos yourself or create your own team of responsible builders.

There are a lot of options for producing gazebos, but some of the most popular on the market are gazebos made of wood.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

• equipment and tools;
• consumables: boards/logs, tiles, screws, etc.;
• workshop space (optional).

Gazebos and garden houses can be made either according to individual customer orders or sold ready-made in a standard size.

❗️ The cost of manufacturing one standard gazebo ranges from 30-50 thousand rubles, while the final price of the finished gazebo averages 60-100 thousand rubles. So, with only 5 orders per month, you can earn 100-150 thousand rubles .

In the case of a team, provided there is an established flow of clients, the monthly profit can be over 300-400 thousand rubles .

Idea No. 10 – Production of wicker furniture

INVESTMENTS: ≈ from RUB 30,000.

IDEA DESCRIPTION:

Another actively developing market segment is wicker furniture, which is made from environmentally friendly and natural materials: rattan, wicker, bamboo, linden, spruce, grapes, etc.

Of all wicker products, approximately 30% of furniture is made from wicker, and 60% from rattan, but rattan is a rather expensive material and difficult to obtain.

Wicker furniture is primarily a luxury item, so the main target audience is consumers with high and upper-middle income levels.

The following wicker products are especially popular: chairs, beds, sofas, tables, chests of drawers and cabinets.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

• prepare yourself or purchase rattan vines/shoots;
• purchase equipment for processing: hand tools or machines.

Sometimes additional materials are used: plywood, chipboard, wood, soft elements for the seat or back, etc.

Weaving furniture is especially profitable if you yourself harvest willow shoots for weaving. It is better to harvest willow twigs in spring or autumn. For painting, aniline dyes, potassium permanganate, iron sulfate, etc. are used.

Manufactured products are sold well through furniture stores. Every month such a business, with established production and sales, can bring in 50-100 thousand rubles and more.

Idea No. 11 – Production of acrylic countertops

ATTACHMENTS: ≈ from 70,000 to 200,000 rubles.

IDEA DESCRIPTION:

The business of producing acrylic countertops (as artificial stone countertops are also called) is considered at the same time one of the most popular, profitable and least costly. So, if you compare the cost of purchasing an acrylic sheet and a finished tabletop, then the markup for 1 linear meter reaches 300-500% and above.

In addition, competition in this area of ​​business is not very developed (most kitchen manufacturers are forced to purchase countertops from foreign manufacturers).

Artificial stone can also be used to produce window sills, sinks, wall panels... so over time you can expand the range of products produced.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

• special equipment (milling machine, grinder, jigsaw...),
• acrylic stone,
• production premises from 45 sq. m.

To organize this production, 2-3 people will be enough.

It is important to note that countertops made of artificial stone are produced only according to individual sizes! Such production can also be carried out at home or in the garage.

The production of acrylic countertops, even in cities with a small population, can bring from 30 to 100,000 rubles monthly.

Idea No. 12 – Making foundation blocks

INVESTMENTS: ≈ from RUB 280,000.

IDEA DESCRIPTION:

Foundation blocks are in great demand during accelerated construction, because... there is no need to wait for the foundation to dry and become solid and stable over time.

For the production of foundation blocks, two technologies for pouring blocks are used:

• pouring ready-mixed concrete followed by steaming,
• vibratory pressing of semi-dry mixture in special forms.

For small businesses, the second method is more acceptable and less expensive.

❗️ Blocks size 118/60/58 cm are the most popular on the market.

If you start the production of foundation blocks at home, then you will need an initial investment of 280 rubles.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

• molds, forced rotary concrete mixer, lifting mechanism - approx. 250 thousand rubles;
• cement, crushed stone, sand;
• rent premises from 200 sq. m. or a canopy in the summer (if necessary).

Two workers will be enough for the job.

If you produce 30 blocks per day, the income will be about 9 000 rub. in a day (300 rubles from the sale of one block). This business has a very good payback - from 2 months.

Idea No. 13 – Making wooden furniture for the garden

3. Sales are a key element of any production! Personal experience and useful recommendations

And now let’s devote a little time to one of the most important moments in production - sales of products . Below I will briefly try to explain why, before producing anything, it is important to clearly understand how exactly the product will be sold.

I really hope that the experience described will be useful to any of you and will allow you not to step on the same rake that I did when opening my own business.

In my practice, I have been convinced more than once that it is often poorly established and unstable sales that lead to the fact that a business never begins to make a profit or brings in very little.

In life, it usually happens that many beginning entrepreneurs first invest money, start producing something, and only then think about selling their products (and sometimes have no idea at all how to sell their products).

⚡️ It is important!
Any production lives only through the sale of products: no sales ➡️ no sales ➡️ no business ! Therefore, before starting a business, carefully plan through which sales channels and how the products will be sold!

remember, that Sales is the basis of any business! The success of your business depends 80% on sales!

As for sales, there are 2 main channels for selling products:

• directly to the client (for example: through your own retail outlets/shops/offices; through advertising, newspaper advertisements and bulletin boards; through your website and/or group on social networks, word of mouth…);
• through wholesale and retail intermediaries (for example, it is a very common practice to give intermediaries products for sale, since this does not oblige them to anything, most of them will agree to cooperate).

In order to build a stable and successful manufacturing business, analyze and work through all the sales options currently available to you. After all, often until you try, you won’t know which sales channel will generate the main income.

By the way, also use Internet to find new clients— many people underestimate him, but in vain. For example, I know many entrepreneurs for whom the Avito bulletin board is almost the only source of clients, and at that it’s free!

Here are some more tips from my personal experience:

1️⃣ It will always be useful analyze the market , pricing and evaluate competition. As I already mentioned, the presence of competition is not always bad; on the contrary, it indicates that this or that niche is in demand by the market!

As for demand, it can be approximately estimated in your city/region using an online statistics service wordstat(wordstat.yandex.ru) from Yandex. And with the help of bulletin boards (Avito, for example), you can test demand even before you start producing anything!

2️⃣ It won’t hurt to make a small business plan on the chosen idea (especially for beginners in business). Just don’t need to compile it into 50 sheets, make detailed calculations... - this won’t be of much use, because, as a rule, in life everything turns out completely differently than on paper.

It will be enough to describe the idea on just a few sheets of paper in order to simply understand from the inside how the business works and how it functions, what is important and what is not...

3️⃣ For a business to be successful, it is very important to find your strengths and differentiate yourself from competitors. For example, you can stand out due to low price, product quality, high level of service, speed of delivery, etc. Describe your ideal customer and focus on their main preferences and interests.

4️⃣ I do not recommend starting entrepreneurs to start producing any innovative products , for which there is still no demand. This requires a lot of experience and quite large investments, since in practice, out of 10 new products, only 1-2 are launched!

❗️ Therefore, it is better for beginners to start with goods for which there is already a steady demand.🙂

5️⃣ Dedicate yourself to your work completely and with love . There is no need to act half-heartedly and with thoughts: it may work out, or it may not. Have a clear vision that it will only happen the way you intended. And of course, do your business with love for people, then you will definitely achieve success!

4. Conclusion

So you have learned about the most common and relevant ideas for production in a small business! I really hope that the information in this article was useful to you and helped you find the right idea for yourself!

In conclusion, I would like to add, don’t be afraid to start your own business - try and take action! Of course, mistakes will be made along the way, but this is completely normal - they learn from mistakes, and only those who do nothing make mistakes!

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.

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

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, and 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 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 during a crisis by industry?

1 Furniture: junkyard chic

Italian kitchens are becoming an unaffordable luxury for many. It's time to offer our compatriots high-quality, eco-friendly furniture made in Russia. 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.

An 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 options available.

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 there must be refrigeration equipment at the point of sale.

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, and red ceramic bricks: -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 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 high added value, i.e., in addition to crumb rubber, produce tiles and coatings. 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

The growth of major world currencies and rising labor costs in China have a beneficial 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 a very narrow niche and start producing mobile baths or thermal bags.

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, which is inhumane at the current dollar exchange rate already at the place of production, in Russian retail stores turns into an amazing one: 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. Products from the Middle Kingdom deserve special attention: they are widely represented, but the quality is objectively low. Time to make car racks in Russia. Domestic manufacturers of 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) made of high-quality plastic with a reliable opening/locking system in low and medium price categories is profitable.

This will require:

• 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 sewing production and a completely different story.

Instruction

The range of mini-production areas is quite wide.

This could be the production of building materials: sand-lime bricks, foam blocks, paving, marble tiles, expanded polystyrene and others.

Food industry: breweries, bakeries, mills, distilleries, cultivation, production of herbal tea, breakfast cereals.

Service area: laundries, dry cleaners.

Other activities: production of plastic packaging, plastic windows, furniture.

Choose what type of small business you would like to start.

If you have a garage, it will be more profitable for you to produce building materials; the equipment necessary for this has minimal dimensions, so it can easily fit in.

The share of Russian manufacturing industry is only about 16% of GDP. The most noticeable industries here are the food industry, wood processing, pulp and paper production, the chemical industry, metallurgy, and the production of machinery and equipment. Mining accounts for about 9% of GDP.

Of all the industrial sectors of the country, the strongest positions are in the production of electrical equipment, chemical production, publishing and printing activities. The extraction of fuel and energy minerals and logging activities stand apart - in terms of reserves of these resources, Russia occupies high positions in the world rankings.

One of the tasks for the further development of the manufacturing sector is to eliminate the imbalance between individual sectors and accelerate the development of processing industries. Stable and high growth rates of the Russian economy are impossible without structural restructuring of the entire national economy, reflecting changes in market demand.

Tip 6: Which areas of industry are considered the main ones in the Russian economy

During the years of Dmitry Medvedev's presidency, the position of the Russian Federation in the global economy has changed little. But during this period, several of the most significant and promising directions for the development of the country’s industry were identified.

Almost the same situation is developing in the pharmaceutical industry. World leaders in this industry are creating their production facilities in Russia.

One of the main trump cards of the Russian Federation in the world market is agriculture. One cannot ignore the abundance of fertile lands and the rich experience of the peasants of Rus'. But energy and IT are relatively new areas of industry, but very promising.

Of course, not only these areas of industrial development will be taken into account by the Russian government. The Presidential Decree of May 7, 2012 “On Long-Term Economic Policy” talks about the mandatory modernization of industry. Particular attention is paid to innovative technologies, since they are behind them.

The decree calls for the development of the aviation industry, space activities, medical and pharmaceutical industries, shipbuilding, electronics and radio-electronic industries. It is proposed to accelerate the socio-economic development of the Far East and Siberia by providing these areas with modern roads.

Thus, the main trend is visible - the active introduction of innovations in industry, the development of the automotive and pharmaceutical industries with the help of leading foreign companies, and the restoration of agriculture. But all other areas of the Russian economy will not be left without attention; the government is closely monitoring the development of all industries.

Equipment for small business: an overview of new products in the manufacturing market + what equipment is better to choose for a home business + average prices for production equipment across the country + an overview of equipment for small businesses from China.

If your goal is to start your own small business, reviewing the hardware market should be one of your first steps in mastering this business. The idea of ​​your own enterprise cannot be realized without a carefully developed business plan, and especially its production and financial components.

Today we will help you solve one of the questions. Consider small business equipment and pay attention to the most promising areas of the market, in which your business will have the highest chance of success.

What should be considered when choosing equipment for a small business?

High performance + moderate price - the best option for a novice entrepreneur. But how to get equipment that satisfies such conditions?

Any area of ​​small business has its own characteristics, which should be considered when choosing equipment for production purposes.

What to look for when choosing:

• noise level and equipment dimensions;
• what is the performance of the equipment;
• build quality and parts;
• equipment manufacturer's pricing policy and service rates.

In most cases, manufacturers by default give a warranty period of 2 to 3 years, depending on the country of the manufacturer and its brand.

You can buy both at official points of sale and via the Internet - both methods are approximately equivalent in terms of the final price. The floating value will be only the time when the equipment is received by the owner.

6 new equipment for small businesses

Over the past couple of years, the market has been replenished with many interesting production machines, the use of which in small businesses we could not imagine at all before. Technological progress gave impetus to the implementation of non-standard business ideas, the implementation of which required an appropriate approach.

Let's take a look at the most exciting small business equipment innovations and decide which ones are worth your attention from an entrepreneur's point of view.

No. 1. Equipment for aerated concrete.

Application area: construction.
Equipment price: 40,000 rubles.

The production of new building materials has been, is and will be a very promising business.

Aerated concrete blocks are a new direction in building materials, which has gained popularity in the last 2 years.

The ratio of cost to price makes such raw materials one of the best in their market segment for ordinary consumers. Insulation of residential premises has become available to everyone, and entrepreneurs are successfully developing this area of ​​​​small business and making a steady profit.

What is included in the equipment kit:

• vibrating sieve;
• raw material dispenser (sand, concrete, other impurities);
• forms for obtaining finished blocks;
• petrochemical component, which includes emulsions and hardening accelerators.

Production technology can have 2 directions: autoclaved And non-autoclave. Due to the high cost of non-autoclave, this technology is practically not used in our country.

Imported equipment is too expensive for a small business, especially since the production technology is much more expensive than the autoclave method.

Daily productivity of 1 autoclave, on average, 20-25 m3 of aerated concrete.

There are about 3 types of installations of different configurations and performance, which, accordingly, reflects the price of such equipment:

• The easiest assembly option is "Aerated Concrete Master" at a price of 26,000 rubles.
• Next are the various models of Strom-aerated concrete, the cost of which is from 30,000 to 80,000 rubles.
• The most expensive option will produce about 35 m3 per day.

All equipment is small in size and is quite suitable for running a small business with minimal costs for renting production premises. To service such units, 1-2 people will be enough for the entire workshop.

No. 2. Equipment for the production of paving slabs.

Application area: construction.
Equipment price: 500,000 rubles.

One of the expensive types of small business, but it pays for itself in a short period of time. over the past 2 years has become the most popular material for urban improvement and retains a leading position to this day.

City administrations often conclude contracts with private entrepreneurs for the supply of paving slabs during 1-2 seasons. Such offers are very beneficial for both parties, but one should also not forget about private traders, who are the main buyers of such products.

What are the ways of making paving slabs:

The most popular technology is hyperpressing. The production line consists of the smallest number of stages, which means that the cost of such equipment for small businesses will be lower than when using other technologies.

Processes are 60% automated in all tile production options. To manage 1 line, you will need 1-2 workers, and prices for an economy option for equipment can start at 440,000 rubles.

No. 3. Equipment for the manufacture of stretch ceilings.

Application area: interior decoration.
Equipment price: 300,000 rubles.

In fact, a stretch ceiling is a film coating with impurities to give the finished product elasticity.

In order for the stretch ceiling to acquire the necessary shape, it is stretched on a frame made of profiles. The coating is stretched on special calender equipment, and the production technology itself requires equipment with HDTV.

Popular equipment for the production of stretch ceilings:

A production facility for the development of such a small business should be at least 50 m2, and it is better if it is equipped with an engineering network with the necessary power in the power grid.

The list of additional equipment should include tables for cutting and packing films, racks for storing products, as well as an apparatus for feeding/receiving into the main equipment.

No. 4. Equipment for 3D business.

Application area: design.
Equipment price: from 25,000 to 200,000 rubles.

Printing, binding and other offers in a similar vein have long become classics of the genre, and enterprising people were able to organize their small business in this business and achieve its success.

Progress does not stand still, and now one more can be attributed to a number of standard services -. The West is mastering this direction by leaps and bounds, but in Russia the niche is practically not occupied by anyone.

What can be done using such small business equipment:

• figurines of animals/celebrities/landmarks;
• miniature copies of houses and other buildings as souvenirs;
• design of residential premises.

In fact, there are a lot of areas for modeling in small business, the main thing is to find something that will be in demand in your sales market.

Even medical institutions can become your customers, as a 3D printer can easily create very high quality prostheses. The hand-made industry will also welcome you with open arms with such equipment.

The main advantage of small businesses in 3d modeling is the lack of competition. You can buy 3-4 printers and set up your own production for 300,000-400,000 rubles - this is if you want to have equipment at your disposal that can recreate almost everything.

A more economical option for starting a small business will cost 100,000 rubles. But keep in mind that the higher the cost of the equipment, the higher the accuracy of execution and the quality of the products, and hence the wider the sales market.

No. 5. Equipment for vending business.

Application area: public utilities.
Equipment price: 30,000 rubles.

By the end of 2017, more than 70% of all multi-storey buildings in the country that are in communal ownership will be equipped with intercoms. In parallel with this news, a new niche in small business has appeared - the creation of copies of keys for intercoms.

This procedure is performed by special machines. Their distribution and installation may well become a small business that shows a large payback in a short period of time.

How does a vending small business work:

1. Information is read from the key using a special sensor on the machine.
2. The client pays for the service through a bill acceptor.
3. The machine writes information on a new blank and issues a finished copy of the key in a special window.

The compactness of the machine gives an advantage to the entrepreneur - you do not need to spend money on renting premises. Just pay for the part of the wall where you are going to hang the machine and make a profit.

Choose places where the largest number of potential customers passes.

Statistics show that, on average, 75% of citizens make a copy of the key for the intercom every 2 years. In a month, the average number of clients will be at the level of 50-80 people. But keep in mind that the larger the city, the higher the demand for the service.

The cost of a copy is estimated from 120 rubles. Part of the money will be spent on renting and buying blanks, therefore the net monthly profit from 1 machine will be at the level of 4000-6000 rubles.

New equipment for small businesses appear on the country's market every month. Although most of the ideas were originally taken from other countries, enterprising businessmen are able to adapt any business to the conditions of our consumer.

The main problem may be the order of equipment, since manufacturers who have never imported such equipment into the country before will be very careful, which will significantly affect the price of the units. Give preference to ideas that have a place in the market, but do not meet high competition there.

Being a pioneer is commendable, but in the cutthroat world of entrepreneurship, it is not always financially rational, which is very important in the context of running a small business in our country.

Manufacturing equipment for small businesses

Large production equipment and small business - at first glance, these are incompatible concepts. But even in this direction, an entrepreneur can prove himself from the best side and organize his own business, which brings a stable monthly income.

Let's take a look at what small business production equipment is worth the attention of every aspiring entrepreneur who wants to establish a stable and profitable trading process.

We have selected three production ideas that have high financial attractiveness, and at the same time, for which market competition is quite tolerable in any region of our country.

No. 1. Waste processing equipment.

Payback: 5-6 months.
Initial investment: 2,000,000 rubles.
Average profit per month: 400,000 rubles.

Organizing a mini-business related to waste recycling is a good solution in an economic crisis. There is no competition as such. And when processing industrial waste, you can get a financial return of 200-300%.

This direction is supported by the state, which allows saving on the purchase of equipment through special environmental programs.

This small business kit includes:

The size of the required production areas is in the range from 100 to 200 m2. At least 7 people can manage the equipment, it all depends on the scale of the business being deployed.

What types of raw materials can be processed:

The result of the processing of such material will be flex - recyclable materials for the production of various plastic products.

Glass okroshka goes to industrial plants for remelting and production of glass containers for the needs of other enterprises, or for sale to private individuals.

Waste paper.

is a very promising niche for small business in Russia.

About 40% of waste paper is disposed of incorrectly, because the use of new technologies will not only provide financial benefits, but also help the environment.

Finnish equipment is considered the best in terms of quality, Japan is in 2nd place among manufacturers. Chinese counterparts will cost 30-40% cheaper, but the warranty period is much shorter + the quality of work of such units is much lower.

No. 2. Equipment for the production of Lego bricks.

Payback: 3-4 months.
Initial investment: 900,000 rubles.
Average profit per month: 2,500,000 rubles.

Construction, as a small business, will always flourish, regardless of the political and economic situation in the country. Lego brick is a new type of building material that is in high demand due to its convenience in the construction process.

Equipment raw materials:

• crushed stone - 85% of the mixture;
• cement - 10%;
• water - 5%;
• dyes and other impurities.

To get Lego bricks, you need to mix all the ingredients, form blocks and dry them. Only 2 workers can manage the production equipment, and the workshop area depends on the scale of the business in general.

The minimum list of equipment for a small business for the production of Lego bricks:

• hydraulic forming machine costing from 700,000 rubles - the main working element;
• drying chamber - 200,000-300,000 rubles;
• closed storages for cement and other mixtures;
• mini-conveyors + dispensers;
• service equipment (pallets, shovels, etc.).

When choosing equipment for small businesses in the field, focus on the domestic manufacturer - the price / quality ratio is optimal.

If you have a reserve of funds, then the right decision would be to purchase a full-fledged line to produce the finished product. The cost of one unit is within 2,000,000 rubles.

The advantages of this solution include minimal labor costs for equipment management and a fully automated process for manufacturing Lego bricks.

No. 3. Equipment for the production of furniture.

Payback: 10 months.
Initial investment: 1,500,000 rubles.
Average profit per month: 150,000 rubles.

Small business in this direction is not something new, but there is always a demand for such products. That is why the decision to set up furniture production is financially attractive, regardless of the region where the goods are sold.

Chipboard furniture.

Economical alternative to natural wood.

The production process is much simpler and requires fewer workers to implement.

Solid wood furniture.

A resource-intensive way to produce high-quality products that requires dedication on the part of employees and the small business owner himself.

In both options, a common list of equipment will be needed to establish stable production. 80% of the units for working with wood will be machine tools, the price per unit of equipment is 50,000-300,000 rubles, depending on the level of automation and equipment dimensions.

The minimum list of required equipment consists of:

In addition to the list considered, production can be supplemented by other models of equipment. Small business in the furniture industry is a promising area that, with due attention, can become a highly profitable business for you for many years to come.

Equipment for small business at home

What is the difference between equipment for home use and standard equipment for small business? Dimensions - the main indicator when buying units for organizing business at home.

In 90% of cases, an entrepreneur has small industrial areas, which affects the ability to implement large-scale ideas. Maximum productivity for little money is the main goal that you need to pursue if you want to buy equipment for a small home business.

Ideas for small businesses that can be implemented at home, the sea. It is enough to find 1-2 types of equipment and start your own business, based on the demand of the consumer market.

We present to your attention several relevant ideas that do not require large financial costs and have high payback rates in a short period of time.

No. 1. Equipment for the manufacture of artificial marble.

Price: 300,000 rubles.
Payback: 2 months.

Natural marble is highly valued in decor and decoration, but the high cost has made it a hard-to-find material for ordinary citizens.

The technological process made it possible to create a new kind of artificial stone, which, in terms of its characteristics, is in no way inferior to natural marble, but the cost of such a product is much lower.

There are 3 main technological directions in the manufacture of artificial marble:

Casting.

The pre-prepared liquid mixture is poured into molds and placed on a vibrating machine.

After 12 hours the resulting material is taken out and allowed to harden.

The mixture is based on quartz sand and other additives, which ultimately give the stone a glossy surface.

The manufacturing process is similar to casting.

Acrylic polymers + marble chips make it possible to make a high-strength material out of the mixture, which looks as similar as possible to marble, and has good elasticity.

To open a small business at home, a small set of equipment will be enough. The units do not require special management skills and are generally available at a price policy for almost every citizen of the country.

Small business equipment set:

To give the product the correct shape and decor, use various types of tooling molds. This will allow you to get a wide range of exclusive products, and attract more loyal customers to your small business.

No. 2. Equipment for an autonomous modular car wash.

Price: from 200,000 rubles.
Payback: 5-6 months.

This type of small business is relevant for large cities. The number of passenger vehicles is constantly increasing, because such a service as car washing is gaining more and more popularity every day.

How to organize a room to accommodate equipment and start a small business:

1. With the help of galvanized elements, you need to assemble the frame of the future garage (you can use the finished room).
2. Use sandwich panels to organize your workspace inside.
3. The flooring must be waterproof and easy to clean.

Today on the market you can purchase both fully equipped portable versions of modular sinks, and designs that require assembly. The price difference is 20-30%.

Basic set of equipment for small business:

The rest of the expenses for a small business for a modular car wash include various kinds of cleaning chemicals and work clothes for employees.

2 people can freely manage such work, and in order to reduce the payback period, it would be the right decision to organize 2 work shifts and make the car wash around the clock.

No. 3. Equipment for the assembly of greenhouses.

Price: from 100,000 rubles.
Payback: 4-5 months.

A small business niche that is relevant in the agricultural sector. Large manufacturers in most cases inflate prices for the finished product, so you, as a private entrepreneur, will be able to create worthy competition and grab your share of the consumer market.

Small Business Equipment List:

• industrial welding machine (from 15,000 rubles).
• cross-pult with a compress (10,000 - 30,000 rubles).
