1. Online store.
While gamblers sit comfortably and gamble live bet, they see various online shops empowering them to purchase various things online. So, online trade is currently experiencing a period of rapid development, and the most popular type of startup is an online store. Demonstrations and sales of goods take place on the store’s website, and then they are delivered to customers using courier services or mail. More and more people, especially middle-aged people, are interested in shopping in online stores, and those who are going to open a business selling any goods on the Internet have the most encouraging prospects. This format of stores does not need sales areas but is entirely dependent on the functionality of the site, its usability, and promotion in search engines.
2. Street fast food.
Another popular type of small business is a small stationary outlet that produces and sells drinks and fast food, primarily closed and classic sandwiches made using signature recipes, coffee, etc. This type of fast food differs from the usual shawarma and hot dogs in its high quality and wide range, unusual ingredients and recipes, and its focus on healthy lifestyle enthusiasts and vegetarians. During a crisis, the revenue of cafés, restaurants, and other traditional catering establishments falls, but fast food is gaining momentum, and many entrepreneurs open just such a business.
3. Outsourcing company.
This type of business involves providing third-party companies with various services for a fee: legal support, accounting and financial management, technical support in the IT field, and the use of a call center to receive orders. Outsourcing as a type of business is relatively new, its market is in the process of formation. During the crisis, more and more outsourcing firms are opening, since it is more difficult for companies to keep all the necessary specialists on staff, and the need for their services has not disappeared.
4. Canteen-catering.
A catering establishment in the format of a city canteen is a more expensive and complex business than a fast food outlet, but in the long term, it is much more profitable. Budget canteens are in stable demand among various groups of the population, from students and employees of nearby enterprises to passing tourists (if the canteen is located in the city center or near attractions). Even with a high saturation of the market with such catering establishments, canteens still provide a stable profit. The choice of premises plays a very significant role in this business: in addition to a good location, it must meet many technical, hygienic, and other requirements.
5. Quickly erected structures.
This business idea is to build turnkey frame wooden houses. Such buildings are in great demand among representatives of the middle class who want to have a summer house or a cottage in nature. The full cycle of building a frame house is only a few months, and the cheap materials used to build such a facility make it a very profitable investment.
You can open a frame house construction business with a start-up capital of 500 thousand rubles or more. The main expense items when starting such a business project will be:
6. Hairdressing salon.
Small and medium-sized hair salons that cater to the low and medium-price segments are in demand in large cities. They offer a full range of services and are expected to maintain a steady demand. To establish a successful business, one should focus on providing high-quality service and maintaining a reasonable price.
Hair salons can be found in residential areas with a lot of residents and near major transport hubs, such as metro stations and bus stops.
To start a hair salon, one needs to have a startup capital of around 300,000 rubles. This will be used to pay rent, purchase inventory and furniture, launch advertising, hire administrators and masters, and decorate the facility.
7. Pharmacy.
There is a huge demand for medicines globally, which is a good reason why pharmacies are becoming a promising business idea. Even though there is a wide range of competitors in this field, it is still feasible to establish a pharmacy within walking distance of a supermarket or a transport hub.
A pharmacy’s success is dependent on its supplier’s reliability and pricing policy. In addition to this, turnover is also a vital aspect of its business model. Aside from selling medicines, other products such as baby food and cosmetics can also contribute to its profits.
8. Training courses, and tutoring.
Tutoring has always been relevant, even in the most critical periods, and after the introduction of the Unified State Exam – especially. Not all parents can afford to pay for a language school or special courses to prepare their child for the Unified State Exam, but the services of a private tutor are quite affordable (especially if the training is not individual, but in small groups).
In addition to preparing schoolchildren for exams, there are also a huge number of training courses, trainings and seminars for adults. To open your own business in this area, it is not necessary to spend money on renting premises, etc. – you can take online courses or conduct individual training events, renting suitable sites for several hours. However, such a business will require investment in advertising.
